Update (11:15 PM) – As we reported yesterday, Black and White have shipped early. Thus, details are flowing in from Japanese players who have received their copies early. Apparently, Black version has Iris as its eighth Gym Leader while White has an old man named Shaga as its eighth Gym Leader – the game guides show different images for the eighth Gym Leader. Also added missing info below.

A user on 2ch has posted some photos of pages from the Black and White game booklet, revealing the eight Isshu Gym Leaders. It looks like Ash will be traveling with two Gym Leaders this region, a throwback to the old Brock and Misty days! Translations below.
