Pokémon Black & White - CoroCoro Details
The first details of CoroCoro have begin coming out and show the starters. We don't have further details but it will come. Keep checking back as we're waiting for more scans with confirmation on the names and more.

• The region appears to be called the Isshu Region (イッシュ)
• CoroCoro states that the protagonists are older than they have been so far
• Before the scans came out, some new information was posted on 2ch including the region name which turned out true, classifications matching the Pokémon's appearance and the aforementioned possible Pokémon names. This information detailled some attacks, classifications, Zoroark's ability and the special event from the beasts. I have decided to post it with thanks to yaminokame for translation. Remember though that the following information is NOT confirmed yet.
  
  • The Grass Starter, Tsutaja (ツタージャ) is the Grass Snake Pokémon
  • The Fire Starter, Pokabu (ポカブ)is the Fire Pig Pokémon
  • The Water Starter, Mijumaru (ミジュマル) is the Sea Otter Pokémon
  • Zoroark has an ability called Illusion (イリュージョン) which will allow it to transform into various Pokémon. How it differs from the move Transform remains to be seen.
  • Two new attacks have been announced;
    
    • A move called Trickery (イカサマ) seems to allow the attack to be calculated using the opponent's stats
    • Another move called Claw Sharpen (つめとぎ) raises the user's Attack and Accuracy stats
  • The special event activated by the special Raikou, Entei & Suicune given with the upcoming movie; Phantom Champion Zoroark has been detailled. In this event, when you bring the beasts (it is unclear if it's all three or just one)to the game, a special battle will occur. This battle is against a Level 25 Zoroark which will transform into the various Pokémon. At many points, it will break its transformation to allow you to capture it.
  
  Remember, this information is NOT Confirmed as of yet and so it's quite possible that this information is indeed inaccurate. However, as the region name was accurate, it's also quite possibly real. We'll get confirmation as to whether it's real or fake when the rest of the scans come out.

Hm.

Alright ladies and gents, Pokemon Sunday aired yesterday (It was Sunday in Japan) showing new Pokemon Black and White footage.

In battle, in a variety of instances, the camera will move around and zoom in/out as the situation dictates. In addition to that, as seen in screenshots, the sprites are animated so the battles are not going to be as static as they have been the last fourteen years. These animations take place when attacking and while waiting for the moves to be selected and not just when the Pokémon is put into battle. Click the picture to go to our Black & White section which contains all the information we know.
Pokémon Sunday also showed footage of the market of Hiun City. In this area, lots of people are walking and moving around, some of them running. Several of them will speak while you walk through and others will walk around you as you're walking through the city. This shows further interactivity than before and shows the true scale of the Isshu region and Hiun City

The overworld is so ugly and has absolutely no charm. It's nice to see animated battle sprites though.

It's about time they change it up like that. Perhaps the game will be good after all.

They must have put a lot of work into the new battle animations. The overworld still seems weird, though. Maybe it just takes getting used to.

The rest of the pokemon have to be amazing to make up for how horribad the new ones are.

starters are still bad looking
