Out of nowhere, Dengeki Magazine has revealed brand new Black 2 and White 2 details for the beginning of the games! Translations of the scans are below with a huge thanks to Puddizzle, one of our new translators!

Scan 1

• Shows the layout of Hiougi City (Aspertia City), the starting city.
• It has a Pokemon Gym run by Cheren, which is a Trainer school.
• You can now watch different channels on the TVs in the game.
• The magazine gives a checklist of what you do in each area. For Hiougi City, it’s meet your mom => meet rival at rival’s house => go with rival to meet Bianca => meet with Bianca => get a Pokemon and a Pokedex => battle your rival => meet with Bianca at the Pokemon Center => meet with your rival, your rival’s sister, and your mom and get the running shoes and town map => Route 19.

Scan 2

• After Hiougi City, you step onto route 19.
• Bianca teaches you how to catch a Pokemon and you meed Alder (you probably get your Poke Balls here).
• Pokemon found on the route include Patrat and Purrloin.
• The person who wrote the Dengeki article encountered a shiny Patrat when he played the game, as seen in the scan. Will this be the case for everyone who plays the game, or was he just extremely lucky?
• After route 19 you go to Sangi Town and get a call from your mom. Apparently your mom and Alder know each other.
• North of Sangi Town is where the Keldeo event occurs.
• Checklist: Bianca teaches you how to catch a Pokemon => Meet with Alder => Sangi Town => Route 20.

• After Sangi Town you head to route 20. You can encounter Sewaddle, Pidove, Dunsparce, Audino, Purrloin, Patrat, Venipede, and Sunkern here.
• From route 20 you head north to Sangi Farm. Pokemon here include Azurill, Dunsparce, Pidove, Audino, Lilipup, Riolu, Mareep, Patrat, and Psyduck.
• You fight your rival at Sangi Farm.
• You proceed to head back to Hiougi City and fight Cheren in his Gym (a trainer school). He has a Level 11 Patrat and Level 13 Lillipup.
• He gives you TM83 Work Up for defeating him.
• Bianca gives you TM27 Return and the C-Gear after you beat Cheren. You can trade after you receive your C-Gear.
• A man in the Pokemon Center will give you the Medal Box for the Medals System. As stated before, the Medals System awards you medals for accomplishing various goals.
• Checklist: Route 20 => Sangi Farm => Rival Battle => Rival and you are asked to catch a Herdier by a Trainer => Return the Herdier, get TM21 Frustration => Sangi Town => Alder tells you to fight two Trainers in his house => Get the Medal Box, a Medal, and 6 Hint Medals => Hiougi City => Battle Gym Leader Cheren for the Basic Badge and TM83 => Bianca gives you TM27 and the C-Gear => Route 20 => Pokedex Upgraded => Tachiwaki City

Scan 4

• You head east from route 20 to Tachiwaki City (Verbank City). The north exit of Tachiwaki City leads to Pokewood. The south part is called the Tachiwaki Combine.

• Wild Pokemon found in the Tachiwaki Combine include Pidove, Elekid (exclusive to White 2), Growlithe, Audino, Magby (exclusive to Black 2), Patrat, Magnemite, and Koffing.

• She gives you TM09, Venoshock, for defeating her.
• You encounter a Team Plasma member at the boathouse at Tachiwaki City.
• After you defeat the member, Homika gives you HM01 Cut.

Scan 5

• Doesn’t show much, but re-confirms that Elesa has a level 28 Flaafy and shows her artwork (sorta).
• Nothing new about Join Avenue.
• You are able to access Black City and White Forest earlier in the game.

Scan 6

• Team Plasma is separated into two factions now – “Team Plasma” and “Former Team Plasma.” The original one sides with N while the new one wants your typical evil plans of conquering the world: “We’ll liberate Pokemon and conquer the world!”
• Akuroma has some connection to Team Plasma, though it doesn’t say what (like that wasn’t obvious).
• Your rival and Team Plasma are related in some way. He is also mad at Team Plasma because they stole a Purrloin that was intended as a present.

The Rest

• Fourth: Keldeo learning Secret Sword.
