Pokémon Black and White announced.

[DivineAll]

And now... a list of Pokémon from generations 1-4 that we all know will appear in generation 5 and some that will probably make an appearance.

Pichu, Pikachu, Raichu: It's so obvious that these three will appear and a carbon copy of the middle, it's not even funny any more.

Zubat, Golbat, Crobat: Annoying bats in caves are traditional.

Psyduck, Golduck: You just gotta have ducks.

Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam: The early Telporter is also standard.

Machop, Machoke, Machamp: A good bruiser is norm as well.

Tentacool, Tentacruel: Jellyfishing, jellyfishing, jellyfishing!

Geodude, Graveler, Golem: Rocks that you often find in caves as well as the bats.

Magnemite, Magneton, Magnezone: It's hard to say whether or not these three will actually appear in Black and White because while they did show up in Platinum in-game, they didn't appear in Diamond and Pearl.

Gastly, Haunter, Gengar: I think they have a good chance of showing up, even though they didn't make an appearance in Hoenn.

Goldeen, Seaking: Standard fish you usually catch while fishing.

Magikarp, Gyarados: No Pokémon game is complete unless it has at least one trainer in it who has only Magikarp on his team!

Eevee, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon: Again, like the Ghost trio, Eevee has a good chance of showing up, despite not being in Hoenn. Problem is, if Eevee does show up you can most likely expect two more Eeveelutions.

There are probably a whole lot more I could list, but the post would be way too long considering there is almost 500 Pokémon, at the moment, and every single one will be available post-game, but these are the ones I believe will most likely appear before taking on the Elite 4 and Champion.

......considering there is almost 500 Pokémon, at the moment.

This obviously begs the question that no one has asked yet: how many new Pokémon now? To be honest it's almost getting out of hand!

It's always at least 100 or so every new generation, so I'm banking on that. So when Gen. 5 comes around the total amount of Pokémon should be around 600 or so. ...*sigh* How did the original Pokérap go again? Oh yeah, "at least one hundred and fifty or more to see". It's definitely on the "more to see" part nowadays... ^^;
