He's the true god, he can fend for himself.

[Protoman Blues]

Look what they're selling at Nintendo World! 

[VixyNyan]

Purity-nyan~!

Are they still selling them? How much? >oo<

[Protoman Blues]

They just started selling them, so they have plenty.  I think they were like $5-$10.

Snakes don't have legs. The closest thing it could be besides a croc or gator is a skink.

Copy-pastin' :v

Pokemon Sunday just finished airing - they did not reveal anything we do not already know, as expected after the CoroCoro leak yesterday. They merely showed silhouettes of a few of the Pokemon, which they will reveal in full next week. This probably means next week's episode won't have anything new either.

Also, we revisted the CoroCoro scans and we need to make a few corrections as well as add some info we overlooked:

Zorua and Zoroark are event-exclusive Pokemon. They do not appear during normal gameplay, at least in Black and White. Therefore, you can only get the two if you preorder a ticket to The Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark and trade over one of the shiny Legendary Beasts (to encounter Zoroark) and if you download the movie Celebi from the theaters and trade it over (to get Zorua).

Zekrom's ability is named "Teravoltage," not "Terra Voltage." "Tera" is a prefix that means one trillion, which I guess means it can generate a great deal of electricity with its tail generator (a trillion volts?).

There is a new indicator that shows you the status of the weather, such as if it's raining.

Zoroark knows a new attack called "Night Burst," which lowers the opponent's accuracy. The event Zoroark you obtain will know Fury Swipes, Faint Attack, and Scary Face as well.

Zorua has Leer, Scratch, Pursuit, and Fake Tears.

The new ability of Meguroko, the Desert Crocodile Pokemon, should be translated as "Overconfidence" rather than "Earthquake Spiral." The ability increases its attack when it Knocks Out a Pokemon.

This only goes to prove my Outlaw Star engine tail theory!

BULLSHIT
I'll have to wait for version Gray, then.

... PLUSHIES D:
ME WANT

And confirmation that Zekrom is truly Dragon/Electric.

[Rad Lionheart]

What's that about "only"? I think there will be Pokemon generator cheats in no time flat.

[Hypershell]

Given that these are DS and not 3DS games?  Most certainly.

Problem Solved...

Problem Solved...

Hahaha, this will be my favorite generation!

[Bueno Excelente]

A Mario Mario and Luigi Mario cameo in the Brooklyn area, and this would be the greatest Pokémon game of all time.

...all time.

[Dexter Dexter]

Problem Solved...

CAN'T UNSEE...
Anyhow, I like the map and all, but why is Queens a mountain range? (It's where the text is overlapping the mountains on the right.)

Proves the far away from the previous regions part.

[Gary Loaki]

Zekrom confirmed as Black Yin Pokemon, while Reshiram is the White Yang Pokemon.

[Dr. Wily II]

Yin and Yang ehh... Nice.

he official Japanese Pokemon website has updated with clearer screenshots and artwork of the Black and White content from the leaked CoroCoro magazine scans. You can click all of the images below to enlarge them, excluding the last few screenshots. The Pokemon art below is transparent.

The major piece of information revealed on the website is the purpose of uploading your Black and White save file to the Internet, which CoroCoro mentioned but did not elaborate on. Once the games are released, there will be a special website that will allow you to upload your save file so that you can play Black and White on the Internet. Once you're done, you can send the save file back to your DS to continue playing. Whether this will allow you to play the games in full, whether there will be limitations, or if it's just for extended content remains to be seen. We'll bring you more as soon as we find out!

Your save file... Playing on the Internet...
Mind-blowing. D:

[Sapphire Knight]

What I want them to leak is the gym leaders.

[Protoman Blues]

Heh, imagine if that allowed for online battles via the Internet! 

[Dr. Wily II]

If that's true... I can finally battle with you all!
