Dragon Ball Redux FAQ

What is Dragon Ball Redux?
It is a fan attempt to tighten the canon of the existing Dragon Ball franchise as well as taking some liberties to allow new plot twists. The goal is to attempt a heavy rewrite of the hit series to include all the fan favorite characters from the original manga, anime, movies, specials, games, spin offs and crossovers within new adaptations of the arcs you know and love, as well as a few new ones, though without all the plot holes created by Toriyama not planning in advance.

Where can I find more information on Redux?
I have created an entire wiki dedicated to the project, and the main goal is for it to serve as the ultimate information source for anything related to DBR. It is still in the updating process, so please be patient. The wiki can be found here: [link]

Where can I read Dragon Ball Redux?
So you don't need to go searching through the entire wiki, the specific page allowing access to the different Arc Summeries can be found here: [link]

Can I help with Dragon Ball Redux?
I'm in need of people that can help organize the wiki by searching for typos, grammatical errors, generally just make it more pleasant to read. As of now, I'm in such a hurry to chuck out pages, that they are generally boring to read.

If you'd like to help with art, making comic chapters or character sheets, that is a bit trickier. You have to be able to work directly in Toriyama's art style, that will be the biggest hurdle. No offense to anyone, but I'm trying to maintain a specific quality for the project.

Can I draw fan art of Dragon Ball Redux?
Of course! I'm always excited to see fanart. I just ask that you let me know that you are planning to draw some, and then demand that you let em see it afterward. lol

Can I use your Dragon Ball Redux work for other projects?
Sorry, but absolutely not, especially without permission. The project is barely off the ground and I've had more theft incidents than I care to discuss. There may be some special cases, but they will be few and far between, I can promise you that.

Pokemon Black and White 2, part 3!

Tue May 15, 2012, 1:04 PM
Previously stated, we still have more questions than answers about this game, but so far I'm really liking what has been revealed. Like before, I won't be using the Japanese names when blogging out my thoughts here, it just makes it harder for me to remember the English ones when they are announced.

:bulletblue:Pokedex 3D Pro - All National Dex Pokemon right out of the gate. Kind of cool in concept. Shame it isn't free like the regular version, but it'd be nice to have to see all the Pokemon's 3D models. Japanese games are actually fairly expensive in comparison to ours. It's supposed to retail at around  1500 yen, or about $18. If it stays that high when brought over here, I'l do without, but I may think about it if it comes close to the $10 mark...I just can't see paying that much for an App I'll barely ever use though.

:bulletblue:Pokemone Dream Radar - 3DS exclusive app/game where you use the system's gyroscopics and camera to search for Pokemon in the real world and capture them with a beam of light. Fairly dumb in concept, until you mention that the captured Pokemon can be sent to Black and White 2. it's worth making you look like a dumbass in public while yelling for a Pokemon to appear as you spin around in circles and aim the thing at everything in site, trying to find an imaginary creature that no one else can see...xD

Supposed to retail for around 300 yen, or about $5. That's restively cheap, so even if the price doesn't come down when localized, this will be a day one purchase for me. Especially since it is the exclusive home to...

:bulletblue:Sacred Beasts - Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus's new forms, and they look FUCKING AWESOME in comparison to their original Incarnation forms. I no longer think their previous forms are as bad for being so similar or humanoid, given the "Incarnation" moniker, but these new ones are just better. Tornadus changed into a fairly cool looking bird, kind of reminds me a of a green combo of Lugia and Articuno. Thundurus looks sort of like a blue Eelektross mixed with Bastiodon, and Landorus is like and orange Raikou and Altaria.

Now if only we could get a new form for Keldeo to fix his fugliness...

:bulletblue:Pokewood - Pokemon meets Hollywood...I don't have much to say. Seems like an interesting concept I guess, but I'm not sure I'll ever mess with it more than once...maybe not at all if the game doesn't force you to try it at least once.

:bulletblue:Gym Leaders - In addition to "Poison Girl" and "Water Guy", it seems Cheren has been promoted to Gym Leader status. Apparently he has replaced Ms. Buttersworth...er, Lenora, as the regions Normal-type leader and will even give out her Basic Badge. This is a little disappointing, as it means Cheren has been nerfed since the last time I saw him. Going from a diverse team of high leveled Pokemon, down to a weak Patrat and a ???. It makes sense with him being the first Gym Leader I guess, but I'm not sure it was necessary to do... Anyway, I seem to remember something being said about our battle with him being his first after the promotion, and he doesn't even have a gym. That's something new at least...

Oh, and here's a little segway into the next bullet. Now that we know at least 3 gyms have been replaced, I hope the leaders that got the boot are at least somewhere in the game so that they can still be battled, maybe in the....

:bulletblue:Pokemon World Tournament - A mystical tournament that transcends time and space to pit you against previous Gym Leaders and Champions of the other regions, most of which make absolutely no sense. In the original BW, the Team Rocket grunt from HGSS has returned to his homeland of Unova and started a family, even having a son that is old enough to talk in complete sentences, which should mean BW takes place at least 4 years after HGSS. Since the new sequels tack on another 2 years, that means a little more than half a decade has passed...yet most of the already announced Gym Leaders and Champions look the exact same as we last saw them. xD Don't get me wrong, I'm NOT complaining. I like the idea of being able to interact with previous characters even though we're not in their region. I just wanted to note another instance of Pokemon making zero sense.

It has been said that you can download more trainers into the game over time, most likely via WiFi distributions. I'm hoping this isn't just limited to Gym Leaders and Champions though, I'd like to see most of the previous main characters back; Previous Player Characters, Frontier Brains, Elite Four members, Stat Trainers, Gym Leaders that got replaced, etc. So many possibilities since nothing in the facility has to actually make sense. lol

:bulletblue:Plot - While we don't really know anything about the plot of the game, a hacked anime screen shot revealed that the villains dressed in black are indeed a regrouped Team Plasma. That means that someone is back to controlling the organization, though we have no true hints of who it is. Ghetsis was revealed to have escaped custody at the end of Black and White, and a couple of screenshots seem to reveal that the rest of the Seven Sages are no longer being held in custody either, though no one has seen N. So, how exactly will they role everything into a nice little package? I can't wait to find out...

Edit - Aniimaed promotional video for the games leaked and revealed a couple of interesting things:

-Elesa is still a Gym Leader, but she has a new, sexy outfit and black hair with long, thin braids.
-N is seen at Dragonspiral Tower, the silhouette of his dragon flying over him. Looked kind of like Reshiram, but I'm sure it wasn't meant to be one or the other, since its a promo for both games.
-Evil looking scientist with the shwoop hair says he doesn't believe in Plasma's ideals...still gives off evil vibes though.
-Male player battles "Neo Plasma" on a boat with his rival and Cheren.
-Unova may really be frozen over in parts, as the male player chases the Shadow Triad ithrough a frozen town. Apparently they stole something (shaped like a scroll or something), and looked badass while doing it. xD
