Not sure what this is.

Well, honestly, I only got to White Forest, found it deserted, and sort of lost interest. Playing pokemon again recently for the PPL though has rekindled my interest in playing, so I'm going through the rest of the post-story stuff with the team I had at PAX.

I'm increasingly wanting to cosplay that poison gym leader.
Don't know when I'd be her though


also I really like how there are building in the desert because they were building there before, and now it has a reason for their building

I wonder if we'll be limited to just the uncovered portions of Unova, or if the story will progress to the point of us actually freeing the rest of Unova. I'm expecting the latter, mostly because the information tells us that this massive ice sheet happened in a 2-year span, meaning that Kyurem is likely the reason for the ice sheet and, as such, there is likely a way to reverse it by potentially capturing Kyurem. Don't know how that would affect things though, I mean it seems unlikely that life would magically return to normal just by eliminating the ice sheet, but then again, stranger things have happened in Pokemon. Without seeing a definitive Pokemon League building though, I find this possibility more likely.

The flipside of that argument is they have given us newer locales on the western side of Unova, updated areas from the original Black and White, gave us two new Gym Leaders and a new Professor (if that is indeed his true purpose) to make up for what would have been lost by losing the northern and northeastern sections of Unova.

Time will tell I suppose. Though it will be cool to see how Unova has changed, I haven't been this eager since exploring Kanto in Gold and Silver.

There's actually conflicting information as to whether the ice sheet is even real, or just a mapping thing.

[Bitera]

It does seem to be inconsistent with the art for the rest of the map.

[Cocowoushi]

I'm very sure the ice sheet is just a map thing? Like the way there were clouds blocking the view when BW was first getting news. You can clearly see there are new places under the ice on the right. There will be more revealed.

[SandstormS]

there are some new things under the ice, yes but there is a new set of caves just to the right of the entralink that look like they could be an mountain pass. im thinking its a temporary plot or seasonal element to stop players from visiting different areas too soon like guards of victory road in RBY or the Battle Zone of DP. My guess is the more you defeat kyurem or the main antagonist the more the ice sheet retreats to reveal the drastic changes in the landscape and covered cities.
