Old, old info

+ Show Spoiler +
http://www.pokemon.co.jp/bw/index.html

The two new games for the fifth generation of Pokemon have been announced. Tentatively, they are the Black and White versions. Though, that's just my guess based on what is seen when you click the link. It would be nice if someone could translate the japanese on the site.

I assume that the 4/15 at the end when the animation runs through its course is the date for when more information will be announced regarding the game. Until then, this thread can be used for speculation/discussion.

To start: I suspect this may cause an uproar in the United States when it is released, that's IF they decide to leave the names as Black/White (if those even are the names). If so, I could see them making a name change to Dark/Light, Ebony/Ivory, or something like that.

EDIT: Here's some of the first info and photos of the game courtesy of serebii.net and the latest issue of CoroCoro~

In The Games Department

First Pokémon Black & Pokémon White Image

On a Japanese Imageboard, the first pictures of what could be CoroCoro has come out featuring what are screenshot from the upcoming games; Pokémon Black and White. This picture shows the new battle screen and features a battle between Zorua & Zoroark. We also got the first picture of the overworld. We'll bring more as it comes.The information is as follows

* There is a shop in the Pokémon Centre
* The 3D in this game is far more advance then previous games
* It appears that CoroCoro isn't reveallig much information in this issue, but rather showing the graphical change between the generations

EDIT 2: Here are the silhouettes of the starter pokemon for Black/White

EDIT 3: New stuffs

Some new pictures have surfaced regarding the starters. While it is still possible that these could be fake, it doesn't seem likely that they are.

And here is the info from Serebii.net:

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.
o The Grass Starter, Tsutaja (ツタージャ) is the Grass Snake Pokémon
o The Fire Starter, Pokabu (ポカブ)is the Fire Pig Pokémon
o The Water Starter, Mijumaru (ミジュマル) is the Sea Otter Pokémon
o 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.
o 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
o 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.

Both images were created back when people were playing the japanese versions, but you should get the gist of it.

I wonder when they will evolve the series beyond the same formula they have been using forever... put this shit on xbox360/ps3 with crisis level graphics and voice acting with in-depth story!

However since that will never happen at least they said that this game will reinvent every aspect of the old games "innovatively."

Its America and political* news stations need content. But, I dont think we want to go there and derail Pokemon.

edit: And yea, like stated below. Its a bit too early even if its far from release to announce yet another version.

Wow, I would expect them to wait a while after SS and HG before they announce another pokemon game to build up excitement.

Yes, it's true that HG/SS did get released recently.. in the U.S.

Both games have been out in Japan for about half a year now.

Anyways, there's an article on Kotaku about this now.

http://kotaku.com/5513079/new-pokemon-games-revealed-pokemon-black--pokemon-white

Apparently it is called Black and White, and they will be released this fall in Japan, for the DS.

That'd be a shame because Black/White are great names IMO, the best since 2nd gen. Never liked the lame mineral names. I will rage if they decide to change the names to dark/light to avert controversy.

Pokemon black sounds so badass, will play it for sure.

but heartgold and soulsilver were such awesome names.

I think something like Pokemon twilight sounds good,
and Pokemon ash-white.
but they dont sound so good together.
maybe 'fro-black is better

Yellow has been out for a while now.

The website also says its planned to be released around fall this year. Thats pretty early.

I personally like the name black and white better than ruby, sapphire, emerald, diamond, pearl, or platinum. Its sticking to the roots, color instead of gems and stones. I hope the 5th generation pokemon won't be as ugly as the stupid 4th generation. I mean the 4th generation pokemon were so ugly they made a pokemon whose name referred it as ugly. pur-"ugly"
