UPDATE
11.30am NZ local time
-We know what the new starters look like, and that they'll continue in the tradition of one each of Grass, Fire and Water type.
-The new region, called Isshu, is geographically distant from previous Pokemon regions.
-The main playable characters are older than in previous games.

The preview section in this month's CoroCoro magazine states that June 15th's issue will feature a new Pokemon as well as information on how to evolve Zorua into Zoroark (and of course new screenshots, info, etc.). Scans of the issue will likely leak on to the Internet between June 10th and 12th, and it is possible an upcoming Pokemon Sunday episode could feature the Pokemon's silhouette (probably the June 6th episode, if any). We'll keep you posted!

Thanks to Serebii.net, Pokebeach.com and Joystiq.com for the info so far.

Battle System clarified
On Pokemon Sunday today!
In battle, in a variate or instances, the camera will move and zoom in/out as the situation dictates. In addition to that, as the screenshot i have posted links to, the sprites are animated so the battles are not going to be as static as the last 14 years. These animations take place when attacking and while waiting for the moves to be selected and not just when the Pokemon is put into battle.

Pokemon Sunday also showed footage from the market in Hiun city. In this area, lots of people are walking and moving around, some of them are running! Several of them will speak while you walk through, and some will walk around you as your walking through the city.

pokemon black/white spoilers!

CONFIRMED: there are 3 starters
CONFIRMED: U can trade
CONFIRMED: Pokemon are in the game
CONFIRMED: There will be new legendaries
CONFIRMED: this is serious, i hear that the zoruak dude has a base 150 dark type attack that is similar 2 eruption
CONFIRMED: non serious: PIKACHU IS IN IT

xD
UP goos at jokes arent you!?
Marinator, good work

dude. my spoilers are true. dont diss

You could have filled the whole topic's 2 pages for that if you went on!........and then you ask me not to diss xD

Its been about 1 week since the last update, and since i have had a lot of Homework, I have decided to only post the MAJOR updates eg. New pokemon, citys, etc...

if anyone would like to post the minor details (eg. New Pictures, Some stupid bit of info that people REALLY don't need to know) then please, feel free to post.

I don't know, those poke's look preety badass to me.

they should've made pokemon Crimson and Phantom....
good pokemon though :/

EDIT: The types of the 2 new Pokemon have been released, check the first post about them for more detail!

Those guys look SOO gangsta lool. Love em. And yes, they resemble digimon.

Dragon/Electric? That would be AWESOME for the uber legendary battling environment, with all the flying and water types around, kyogre would think twice b4 switching in. Coincidentially, wouldnt this new typing have.... 3 weaknesses? Dragon: Dragon and ice. Electric: Ground. Thats pro

3 weakness aint that bad. Dragon/electric sounds preety cool.

It doesn't really look like an electric type though, thats the thing. Thats whats throwing me towards its not a Dragon/electric type.

I really Would like a Dragon/fire type or a Dragon/bug! LOL
Or a Fighting legendary! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

it could be but i suppose there's a new type- Light!

@Ft:
Ik, it will give the battling environment a whole new dimension!

@marin:
Dragon/Fire: Plausible
Dragon/Bug: /..... lol. Queendragon moth?
Fighting type legend: (I AM CHUCK NORRIS-MON. FEAR ME INSOLENT HUMANS!!!11). lol.

@dark: Light type? what, balance out the dark type? altho its a good idea.

@UP: Love the idea about a Chuck Norris type legendary!

But if Chuck Norris becomes a legendary, he will round house every other pokemon out of existence...

Has anyone mentioned a Dragon/Dark type? Cause that could be plausible. Then I would lean to the other legendary as being an electric...

new attack: ROUNDHOUSE KICK!
power: 1200.
Type: Nothing. Hits every1 4 super effective damage.
type of chuck norris: fighting.
Stats: 1000 each.
Ability: PWNAGE>
Allows one hit koes on any1 he fights.

If Chuck Norris makes eye contact with a woman*, she becomes instantly pregnant. 3 Months later, Chuck Norris round-house kicks his way out of her stomach.

*This can also be applied to a male

lol. Chuck norris ability: Making women pregnant.
