Pokemon Black & White Confirmed Info Thread

[Michael Westen]

Ouch.. I only stayed up til 1 and I'm exhausted right now. Hopefully the real scans show a TON of pokemon like we were promised cause I started getting worried.

I'm really hoping to see Pignite's evolution. From my guess, Smugleaf will be a Grass/Dragon type, Pignite will be a pure fire type, and Wotter will be a Water/Fighting type when its fully evolved.

Its funny because, Blaziken and Infernape were part Fighting, and we are probably getting another part fighting type in this gen too.

Unfortunately and more than likely. x_x

Was really hoping for Grass/Elec, and with all the fighting-like moves Wotter seems to be getting it's like the only choice. Unless it miraculously turns to an evil pokemon and acquires Dark. I hope Pignite gets good typing. =\

I like how they are corresponding Seasons into the new games :D

Maybe pokemon can evolve depending on the seasons. o.o'

Because that wouldn't be annoying as **** waiting a whole month for a Pokemon to evolve.

That would suck royally. But I feel like it's going to happen. Then again...

Any minute now - come on Coro Coro

[Michael Westen]

CoroCoro has just leaked some info. More coming later I hope.

[Light]

Sorry I am late. This is really disappointing but due to most of the pokemon leaking on Oha Suta and all of the other leaks, it appears that there are no new pokemon.

What's even more disappointing is that they just basically showed all the pokemon that they have shown before in the magazine. x_x

Pokemon

• Swana (スワンナ) - Swan Pokemon - Water / Flying - Keen Eye or Pigeon Heart - 1.3m - 24.2kg. It has a new attack called Windstorm which changes in accuracy depending on the weather.
  
• Moguryuu (ムグリュー) - Mole Pokemon - Ground - Sand Throw or Sand Power (attacks increase in power during sandstorms) - 0.3m -　8.5kg.
  
• Miruhoggu (ミルホッグ) - Precaution Pokemon - Minezumi's evolution - Normal - Illuminate or Keen Eye - 1.1m　- 27.0kg. "It lights up the pattern on its body to threaten its opponents."
  
• Kurumiru (クルミル) - Sewing Pokemon - Bug / Grass - Swarm or Chlorophyll - 0.3m - 2.5kg. It has a new attack called "Bug Resistance" which hits two Pokemon at once.
  
• Mamambou (ママンボウ) - Nursing Pokemon - Luvdisc's evolution - Water - Healing Heart (cures teammates of status conditions) or Hydration - 1.2m　- 31.6kg. Note that Electivire was not revealed to be Electabuzz's evolution until much later, so we're assuming it is Luvdisc's evolution.
  
• Gigaiasu (ギガイアス) - High Pressure Pokemon - Rock - Sturdy - 1.7m - 270.0kg.
  
• Shikijika (シキジカ) - Season Pokemon - Normal / Grass - Chlorophyll or Herbivore (raises attack when hit by Grass-type attacks) - 0.6m - 19.5kg. As you have seen before it has four different appearances, one for each season. Spring Form is Pink, Summer Form is Green, Autumn Form is Orange and Winter Form is Brown.

Characters and Plot

• The protagonists leave from their hometown Kanoko Town and meet Team Plasma in Karakusa Town.
  
• Dento is the first Gym Leader - you fight him in Sanyo City.
  
• Aloe is the second Gym Leader, a black woman you fight in Shippou City.

Game Mechanics

• Rotation Battle - Another three-on-three battle mode. You can only choose one of your Pokemon out of the three out to attack each turn. You have to predict which Pokemon your opponent will use and what attack they'll use for the greatest success. This type of three-on-three battle is in addition to the regular three-on-three battle mode and the one revealed last month where you can constantly rotate the position of your Pokemon.
  
• Miracle Shooter - Allows you to use Items in wireless battles; you collect points each turn and can use them for the chance to use Items. You can choose whether to use Miracle Shooter or not.
  
• Battle Subway - A subway where you can participate in seven battles at a time. If you win all seven battles you can earn battle points and exchange them for various gifts.

Other Info

• The game box art of Reshiram and Zekrom is shown in two flavors: with their regular Ken Sugimori artwork and with the Pokemon's tails illuminated and black or white infringing upon the image. This could be because there will be slip-cases for each of the boxes or because the images on the front covers are those lenticular graphics where when you tilt your head or move the box the images transition from one to the other.
  
• A new fish Pokemon, Basurao (バスラオ), has been revealed on 2ch from the Black and White tour bus demos - its name was mentioned in our first demo post, but now we can (sort of) see what it looks like! It is a Water-type, knows Aqua Jet, Headbutt, and Uproar, and is Cheren's second Pokemon in the demo. In the photo below, it is battling the player's Mijumaru. The only other rumored Pokemon mentioned by people who went to the tours is Tabunne (タブンネ), a pink and round Pokemon, so that may be the only one left (assuming it is real). Stay tuned

That new bug pokemon is defiantly on my team for early game (assuming its early game). Depending on how good it is, it may stay. That mole is awesome too.

So, Team Predictions?
Pignite
Shimama or the Electric Bat thing
Wargle
The Green jello thing
New Bug

But of course, these are only 30 Pokemon shown. There are probably over 100 more, making choosing difficult xD

Lol I feel the same about the bug, and what electric bat? Team Predictions I won't say until the 18th of September. lol

A new photo, below, shows Isshu in the snow. The top of the cliff in the photo cannot be reached in other seasons of the in-game "year," which means the seasonal differences will affect what parts of the map you can visit. We also have more rumored information about "Tabunna": it is a Normal-type, looks like a strong fighter, and at level 10 knows Growl, Helping Hand, and Double Slap.
