Maybe Dialga only poped its foot out while the pokeball was open.

[Mirby]

I think his foot was bigger than the guy's house...

Oh GameStop.

Whoa. The freaking system for which it's going to be designed isn't even out yet.

I think...

This isn't a DS title, right?

As far as I know, it is.

[Dr. Wily II]

Yep, still a DS title.
And it says April 1st.

• The white Pokemon is named Chiramii (チラーミィ). It is the Chinchilla Pokemon, a Normal-type. Its abilities are Cute Charm or Technician and it knows a new movie called "Sweep Slap," which hits the opponent multiple times. It is 0.4m tall and 5.8kg in weight.
• The pink Pokemon is named Mun'na (ムンナ). It is the Dream Eater Pokemon, a Psychic-type, and has Forewarn and Synchronize as its abilities. A new attack it knows is "Telekinesis," which makes the opponent float in the air. It is 0.6m tall and 23.3kg in weight.
• The mechanical Pokemon below is the Gear Pokemon, appropriately named Gear (ギアル). It is a Steel-type and its ability is either "Plus" or "Minus." It has a new attack called "Gear Saucer," which you can see it using i below - it attacks the opponent multiple times with both of its gears. It is 0.3m tall and weighs 21.0kg.
• Mamepato (マメパト) is the Baby Pidgeon Pokemon and is a Normal / Flying type. Its abilities are either "Pidgeon Breast" or "Super Luck." In a screenshot below, Mijumaru tries to lower its Defense, but it doesn't work because of one of Mamepato's abilities prevents it. It is 0.3m tall and weighs 2.1kg.
• Hihidaruma (ヒヒダルマ) is the Flaming Pokemon, a Fire-type. Its ability is "Encourage." It is 1.3m tall and weighs 92.9kg.
• Shimama (シママ) is the Charged Pokemon, Electric, and has "Lightningrod" or "Motor Drive" as its abilities. It has a new attack called "Wild Volt," which does a lot of damage but also hurts the user. It is 0.8m tall and 29.8kg.
• Meguroko (メグロコ) is the Desert Crocodile Pokemon, a Ground / Dark type. Its abilities are Intimidate and "Earthquake Spiral," the latter of which raises its Attack stat when it knocks out a Pokemon.
• The professor of Isshu is female and named Professor Araragi, as you can see below. She presents a Chiramii to the player in the "World of Pokemon" intro at the start of the game. The rumors we posted yesterday may also be true too, since Professor Araragi's name was among them (some of the rumors have actually been circulating since April, including her name).
• There is some sort of new in-game connection device called the C Gear. It has "various connection capabilities," though we do not know what that means at this time. To the left of its screenshot below, the magazine says, "What's this screen!?... It looks like a new wireless feature was added!"
• There is a new feature called Random Match, which you can access from the Global Terminal inside Pokemon Centers. It will allow players to randomly battle other players over the Internet. It then says that you can work together over the Internet by uploading your Black and White save file to play against other opponents (?!).

[VixyNyan]

Mmmm, new professor~

I want the Chiramii too! So cute~ ^oo^

[DarkWaltz]

CHINCHILLA~!     

Okay I'm calm. Awesome info on some new Pokemon.

[Dr. Wily II]

And time for some of my guesses for English names.

Chiramii = Chinchi
Mun'na = ?
Gear = Gear
Mamepato = ?
Hihidaruma = Wildflame
Shimama = Zapbra
Meguroko = Groundile

[Saber]

And here I thought that the Pokémon designs couldn't get any uglier anymore. I was wrong.

[Protoman Blues]

I love the design of the Electric Zebra!

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

And here I thought that the Pokémon designs couldn't get any uglier anymore. I was wrong.

Yeah, and the second gen Pokemon were the forefront of artistic design even though every single [tornado fang]ing gen looks generally the same? Yeah, you're totally not being a nostalgiaturd.

These things look awesome.

[Gaia]

Knowing Pixiv, I expect porn of this new Pokemon Prof. (and some brock swooning ASAP in the beginning of the next anime that follows this game).

Hopefully it doesn't get TOO cute this gen, or this one might go on it's pen name "the gen that sissied out".  

And yes, we do get yet ANOTHER rat pokemon. 

[Gary Loaki]

Ground Gator is gonna have a badass evolution. Guaranteed.

[Saber]

Nothing beats Second Generation. NOTHING.

[VixyNyan]

Johto (2nd) and Kanto (1st) were the best. ^.^

Pokémon Stadium 2 + Pokémon Crystal connectivity = So much love and so much hours spent on maxing out the Pokédex~

And the same thing with Pokémon Stadium 1 + Pokémon Special Yellow Edition~

I do like some of the Pokémons from the other generations tho. ^^;

[Mirby]

Over at Bulbapedia, they're saying that Reshiram is Dragon/Fire and Zekrom is Dragon/Electric... just saying.

Also, 507 unique Pokémon now.

I like the new professor.

[Akira]

Gear pokemon... Drill Dozer references...

[Klavier Gavin]

Have a look at that region. :v

Nothing beats Second Generation. NOTHING.

This man speaks truth.

[Mirby]

Damn. It's not the Bay Area as I'd hoped. Still, looks good.

[Akira]

In what region is based Ishuu?????? D:

[Mirby]

A far away land. I'm guessing somewhere in SE Asia...

[Sakura Leic]

A baby bird pokemon that could have Super Luck, intresting.  So's the electric zebra.

[Bueno Excelente]

Are we eventually gonna have enough Pokémon regions to make a country, or an actual planet-wide world map?
