    New coro revealed

    'Lt. Surge and Erika will also be present. Apparently the facility is called "World Tournament." It seems you'll be able to battle every previous Gym Leader and Elite Four Champion there.'

    'The poster of the scan has revealed more information! First, the new formes for Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus can only be caught in the Pokemon AR Searcher game, which of course can then be transferred over to Black 2 and White 2. Second, Cheren will appear in the games as a Gym Leader. Third, "Pokewood" will replace Black and White's musicals (a combination of Pokemon + Hollywood?); it's apparently the movie theater feature that appeared in several of the game trailers.'

    The AR searcher is the new program coming out for the 3DS.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    If they can do one outside app for the 3DS they can do many... Perhaps my dream of breeding specific mon for Pokemon 5-a-side Soccer, Pokemon Team Forretress, Pokemon Tower Defense, The Legend of Zoroark : A Lickitung to the Past etc etc might one day come to pass.

    Alrighty, ton more info here now corocoro's been leaked and translated


    So, its finally been properly translated, new info

    Cheren is now a Normal-type Gym Leader, replacing Lenora and giving out the Basic Badge. He is the first Gym Leader while Homika, the Poison-type Gym Leader with the guitar, is the second. (Some of this info comes from the 6th scan.)
    Bianca gives you your Starter Pokemon on behalf of Professor Juniper. She is now Juniper's assistant.
    N has disappeared and nobody knows where he is, including Team Plasma. Team Plasma and the Sages will still be in the game, though in what capacity we do not know yet.
    Alder appears at the beginning of the game and asks you to come with him.


    PokeWood (Pokemon+Hollywood) will apparently involve filming a movie: you pick a scenario, then fight in several Pokemon battles. Perhaps battling against the mecha Tyranitar is how you film part of your movie.
    Brycen, the Ice-type Gym Leader, has starred in PokeWood movies before.
    PokeWood will also be featured in the anime on June 7th - we see a screenshot of the mecha Tyranitar battling a Golurk. I bet this will be Luke's evolved Golett since we've seen him making movies in various episodes of the show. Guess they were foreshadowing this for a while without us knowing!


    The old designs of the Cloud Trio will now be referred to as their "Incarnation Formes" while the new designs will be called their "Sacred Beast Formes."
    All three of the Pokemon keep their same types in their new formes, but their stats are different. Tornadus' new forme focuses on Defense, Special Defense, and Speed, Thundurus' focuses on Special Attack, and Landorus' focuses on Attack.
    (This isn't stated in the magazine.) Fan speculation on our forums is that the three new formes are inspired by Aztec legend. Tornadus is Huitzilopochtli, who after it died became a green and purple hummingbird, Thundurus is Quetzalcoatl, who after it died became a serpent, and Landorus is Tezcatlipoca / Tepeyollotl, a jaguar. In the Pokemon AR Searcher screenshot on the left side of the 3rd scan and in the anime poster on the right side of the 7th scan, you can see each of them resembling those animals (a bird, a snake, and a jaguar).
    Professor Burnett will be the name of the professor in the Pokemon AR Searcher game.


    As stated yesterday, the "World Tournament" feature allows you to battle past Gym Leaders and Elite Four Champions.
    So far, Cynthia, Green (Gary), Brock, Misty, Lt. Surge, Erika, Janine, Blaine, Giovanni, Volkner, Steven Stone, and Lance are confirmed participants.

    As we knew already, Meloetta will be the Pokemon you can download at the movie theaters when you go to see Kyurem vs. the Sacred Swordsman - Keldeo. It is at Level 15, knows Quick Attack, Confusion, and Round, and comes holding a PP Max.

    The anime will be renamed Best Wishes Season 2 starting June 21st. There will be an arc featuring the new Sacred Beast formes as well as the return of Dawn, Cynthia, and Pokemon from past generations! Giovanni will return as well and Team Rocket will have a new plan involving Meloetta.
    Black Kyurem-EX and White Kyurem-EX cards were revealed from BW6 Freeze Bolt and Cold Flare!

    I think the only thing people really care about because of today's revelations is the fact all the old GL's and whatnot will be in the game :3


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    Well yeah :p although the revelation about Cheren is interesting.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,672 ✭✭✭TheChrisD


    Holy ****, they localised it.



    Shame they didn't use the same VAs as the anime.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,354 ✭✭✭Urizen


    Gods damn, I wish that was the anime...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    I can confirm that the game is damn awesome with some
    Visually stunning cutscenes. Finished the main story a few weeks ago and can't wait for the English release.

    If staring at things you don't understand for extended periods of time made you an expert, I'd understand women by now. But that's not how it works. You have much to learn, youngling.

    Can someone give me a breakdown of the game please. Dont need to know the story, but where does this game come in relation to B/W 1. Does it follow on, do you start a new adventure as a newbie to pokemon, what changes in pokemon can we expect if any etc

    It follows on from black and white, 2 years after.
    Yes you do start as a pokemon newbie.
    In the original black/white, you only had access to the new unova pokemon until you'd completed the main quest, in this one, you've access to old pokemon from the word go. Some cool pokemon available pretty early too.

    GUISE IT'S TOMORROW.

    AM SO EXCITE. AM AM.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,721 ✭✭✭✭CianRyan


    HAVE PREBOOKED, CAN'T WAIT!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Might see what I can trade in to pick it up tomorrow. But given it's friday, I'll have to play it drunk. Not sure how good an idea that is...

    So, is everyone going Black or White?
    I know they say that once you go black you never go back, but they also say white is right... I'm so conflicted.

    Also, can we start a discussion about which of the 3 starters is the best, 'cause I'm too lazy to look up what the starters are in 2. Hopefully not the same 3 as the original B/W?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,721 ✭✭✭✭CianRyan


    I'm going White this time, I got Black last time.
    The starters are the same, which is a bit of a pity. Loads of in game differences though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 271 ✭✭Wobbuffet


    Happy Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 day everyone!

    Has anyone caught that terrible bug that's been going around? (aka Genesect on wi-fi)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Heading to the car in 2 hours.... tick follows tock follows tick follows tock....

    Edit : A bit of creative trading and it's mine... MINE!
    Glad I'm not Nuzlocking, I lost the first battle for the first time in 5 generations and countless run-throughs. I didn't know you *could* lose the first battle! Damned criticals....

    There's a mysterious menu called Unova Link with some interesting looking options that make me wish I read the manual.

    You get to name your rival - hurray! Nunbery and Bohegas ride again...

    If your playing white, you unlock easy mode. Black gives you hard mode. Sure I will.
