(exluding Wallace who's hair is white but was probably blond when he was younger)

Wallace has blue hair.

I think he meant Wattson.

[The Outrage]

I don't think anyone's mentioned this yet but....Red's hair has been retcon'd back to its original black colour from his Gen I days.....

I guess I kind of see it in his OW sprite, but I don't really notice any difference between his HGSS and B2W2 battle sprites.

That's because they barely show any hair in his battle sprite. What's weird though is that the side view also shows that his hair is a bit spiker compared to his HgSs one, but again, you can't see it at the front. I don't know what's with Game Freak and reworking the sprite in every angle except the front.

His HgSs battlesprite has black hair as well, or at least none of the brown can be seen.

According to Serebii, N's AI is supposed to be incredibly good, even outside of Challenge Mode. I guess that goes hand in hand with him being a genius. Evidently, one of the triggers for this battle is also to have spent time with him on the Ferris Wheel? So much for "I'm going to look for Hilbert/Hilda!"--though perhaps he was looking and just couldn't find them. Or had no affordable way to leave Unova without his dragon.

Apparently, their attempt at Shizui's accent is to just give him an informal way of talkin'...so its not really an accent so much as a register.

His easygoing demeanor hides some profound philosophical thinking about Pokémon and life.

I really can't help but laugh since this keeps reminding me of Shizui basically saying "no" to when he was asked if he was going to help with the Plasma Frigate. Also, favourite quote: "'Cause the ocean accepts all rivers!"

Yeah, I agree, N's character was totally derailed.

I mean, why in the world would a socially-awkward man-child spend his time raising four competitive, Smogon-viable teams?

[smalllady]

Really annoyed with post-game N right now. >_>

Is this like a trick question? I'm just kidding... don't attack me smogonites :p (if any are here).

The main problem with N's post game development is the lack of Hilda/Hilbert since they were central to his character growth in BW. I hope that they plan on rectifying this in the future, but I dunno if they even have any more plans for N's character or not.

[PKMN Trainer Faye]

If we never see H/H again, that will be enough for me. If they can make Red isolate himself at Mt. Silver, and then suddenly he counts as a Champion for the World Tournament, I don't see why N can't stick around without complaints. I think it's pretty neat, I look forward to facing his teams. As long as he's nothing like Mystrial from PBR, I'll be happy to face him.

So, that means Shizui is obfuscating stupidity? hat's pretty neat.

[The Outrage]

@FairyRed;
I doubt he's obfuscating stupidity, that implies he's smart but acting dumb to hide it. I think its more likely that his natural demeanor results in people assuming he isn't very smart, but Shizui isn't actually hiding anything, and his intelligence and wisdom would show if people spend time getting to know him.

EDIT:
According to Bulbapedia, Cheren's Gym Leader title is "The Person who Seeks Truth" but I'm really interested in seeing whether this title changes between versions. It seems that a lot of the coverage is biased towards Black version, so I'd like to see the White version one as well.

As said before, this is Gameplay and Story Segregation. Besides, many I know wanted to battle N more.

Dude, just got back from TV Tropes again. o_o; Does Big-G really try to

murder the player character?! Tell me TV Tropes is exaggerating, like they usually do. Man, if shits about to get intense like that, I better speed up my own B2W2 play-through!

[smalllady]

TVTropes is hardly a credible source of information. They don't bother to check that their information is confirmed, and won't correct it until long after the fact.

I saw it on a video. He used Kyurem to try and stab your character but you're saved.

[PKMN Trainer Faye]

Even TV Tropes can be right once in a while...they were right about what Big-G tries to do. Holy crap, that is intense. I should go see the event myself, his sanity can't have slipped that much...

[Silktree]

Technically, he doesn't want to kill anyone. He believes that freezing Unova (including the player character) will simply allow him to take over the region, with the ice thawing out after he has established his reign. It is a silly agenda, but I wouldn't call it a murder attempt.

Well, nobody would be able to stop him if everyone was frozen so once everyone's thawed out, he'll be ready. Maybe he'll keep some unfrozen so they can see the demonstration of Kyurem's power and be like "HOLY @$#%! WE SURRENDER!"

He ordered Kyurem to surround the player with sharp ice shards and then lauch them at him. Clearly he wasn't trying to freeze the player, but murdering him for good. Ghetsis has gone really insane.
