Welcome to the new Pokemon Black and White Thread!
The original thread was owned by Anmras,
but for personal reasons, they had to step down, and I have humbly
decided to step up to the plate and run the new thread.
So let's get right to it, shall we?

Reserved for future use, should we need it.

[SakuraMota]

And with this thread, HGSS climbs into its death bed. -w-

[PodIsAFreak]

Aww. Poor HGSS thread.

[SakuraMota]

It's okay. I accepted HGSS's fate as soon as B&W was announced. I knew it would eventually die. If we all just migrate from there to here, it won't be too bad.

[Cheren Wears Tight Pants]

Added the news about our first thread event.

[PodIsAFreak]

Hopefully we won't get a buncha annoying people in here just wanting the prizes for the week long launch party :/
