Have anyone posted this?

Is that some new pokemon there? including wooter and smugleaf evo?

Hey borock?
Looks like this rumour pic of yours might be the truth after all, introducing 4 new Pokemon, which includes Smugleaf's and Wotter's evos.
This is due to a preview of the coming B&W arc in the anime, which showed a silhouette of a female trainer, that matches the girl in the pic.
Oh, and the girl's name is Iris.

Also, a short read as to why Pokemon designs differ so much through the different generations:

There's a team of people that is in charge of monster design. They're listed under "Pokemon Design." They come up with the ideas. They decide which ones are the best and refine them. Then, Ken Sugimori draws those designs. In the first generation, it was a group of four people (Sugimori being one of them), and Satoshi Tajiri's role (the creator of Pokemon) in creating the monsters was basically to approve them and suggest changes after the basic ideas were being designed. He's the only one under "Director" and "Game Design" for the first generation which means that he was in charge of pulling everything together and the overall experience of playing the game.

Nowadays... well, the truth is that in Ruby and Sapphire, Junichi Masuda took over. Ever since R/S/E, Satoshi Tajiri has not been working on the games at all. He's listed as "Executive Director" in most games. What does this mean? "Executive Director" is a fancy way of saying "this is the original creator, he approved this game but was not an active part of development." Occasionally he's listed as an "Executive Producer," which, from what I can gather, means he funded it but was still not an active member in developing it. Finally, in Pokemon Rumble (surprisingly enough), only Sugimori and Masuda are listed in the credits as "advisers" for the spin-off game. Tajiri is not listed at all.

So, Satoshi Tajiri is not really putting his mind into the monsters anymore. However, there is another part of why the monsters look different. The "Pokemon Design" of D/P/Pt was held by thirteen people. Ten of these people did not work on the first generation's Pokemon; Shigeki Morimoto (he's the guy who put Mew into the game) also stopped doing monster design during D/P/Pt. What does this mean? The people coming up with the Pokemon ideas are, mostly, different people each generation. R/S hired a ton of people, and that's why the third generation's style was so different. Black and White has also hired more people.

Thus, the main reason why the Black and White Pokemon look weird is because the design team has new people on it. Also, Satoshi Tajiri hasn't worked on the games for a looooong time (since the Gold and Silver days), thus the reason why Gen III and Gen IV looked so different from Gen I and Gen II. And now Gen V could look very different as well.

DISCLAIMER: Although I did say the pic might be true, but... Still take it with a pinch of salt.

If we're going "all-out"...

Why not make it an actual league? We could have all the members (or all the ones that want to get involved) as part of it, and then the Elite Four and Champion at the very top. x3

Hmm... 32 badges to collect...

In other news, I finished Durarara!!. I must say the ending was kind of lackluster, but I'm guessing they want to save stuff for season two.

True, still Durarara!! was a great watch.

Also managed to watch the last 2 eps of the Queen's Blade S2 specials... Finally ended... Still... Cracccccccck.

Also, Gurren Lagann Parallel Works 2. To me, it's about there with the prequel, but... Something felt left out for me. Though seeing Kittan and his sisters kick ass, and also some very impressive Gurren gattais...

Lastly, a funny OVA by the name of Tono to Issho. Seeing well-known samurai generals like Date Masamune and Oda Nobunaga going totally out of character... Priceless.
