Pokemon Black and White Starters Revealed
Update: Added new character art scan with new screens from the game ^
Details from Pokebeach:
- The region’s name is “Isshu” (イッシュ) and is located very far away. One of its cities is shown in the top left of the scan.
- The main characters are older than ever before; they are not children.
- From a separate source, the Pokemon’s names might be Tsutaaja (ツタージャ),Pokabu (ポカブ), and Mijumaru (ミジュマル). “Tsuta” means “ivy.” “Bu” relates to “pig.” “Mijuku” means “immature” and “maru” means “round” or “ball.” Again, these are not the confirmed names yet. The magazine scan does not mention their names.
- So it looks like we have some sort of reptile, a fire pig, and a sea otter.
UPDATE: Added new details about the game:
– Zoroark has an ability called ‘illusion’ which allows him to transform into other Pokemon
– Trickery – allows attack to be calculated using the opponent’s stats
– Claw Sharpen – raises user’s attack and accuracy stats
– special movie event details: special battle against level 25 Zoroark will occur, which transforms into various Pokemon. It will eventually break transformation which allows for capture.
What do you guys think? I, for one, am very excited :)
