Update #3 (5:45 PM) - Couldn't get the video clips to upload to YouTube, so I uploaded them to our server instead and posted them below. If they start to take forever to load again, there's isn't much I can do about it.

Pokemon Sunday just finished airing and revealed the new Black and White Legendary Pokemon that was shown in the advertisement following The Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark movie: its name is Victini, which is likely a portmanteau of "victory" and "tiny." It is number 000 in the Isshu PokeDex and players will be able to obtain it once a new Liberty Ticket (リバティチケット) item is distributed to Black and White via Wi-Fi, DS Stations, and Nintendo Zones from September 18th to October 18th. Pokemon Sunday also showed footage from a 3-on-3 battle as well as a short preview of the upcoming Best Wishes anime season, which you can watch below. Large screenshots from the Victini video are also below.

Update #2 (3:30 PM): Oha Suta just finished airing a triple battle, but it did not feature anything new. It was Gochiruzeru, Hihidaruma and Shimama vs. Musharna, Wargle, and Rankurusu. The show had teased that they would be showing-off the apparent Luvdisc evolution (Mamanbō), but it was nowhere to be seen in the triple battle. | Update: Due to our new server being unable to handle the amount of people watching the videos, I have uploaded them to YouTube and posted them below.

The current issue of Dengeki Nintendo DS magazine contains an advertisement DVD with new Black and White video footage, and thanks to an armed robbery at their printing plant an anonymous Japanese PokeBeach reader, we now have the video to share with everyone! The first video below shows part of the game's intro followed by you, Cheren, and Belle opening the present from Professor Araragi and picking your starter Pokemon. You then battle them, destroying your room in the process. The second video shows several battle scenes between most of the recently revealed Pokemon. Enjoy!

Be sure to check back here later today as well! This afternoon (in U.S. time), a new triple-battle will be shown on Oha Suta. The battle may contain new Pokemon or reveal some new information, and whatever is revealed will be posted here!

A new Play-Doh toy set will be released on October 30th in Japan in commemoration of Black and White; the product features pieces of Pokemon Play-Doh that you assemble to make several Pokemon, including Pikachu, Zorua, Tsutaaja, Pokabu, Mijumaru, and Mamepato. However, its product listing also mentions two unknown Pokemon: Onokkusu (オノックス) and Burokko (ブロッコ). Since the product listing is official, these will be two new Pokemon. Onokkusu's name is very similar to Ononokusu (オノノクス) revealed on Oha Suta several weeks ago (the gold-gray-red dragon-ish Pokemon), so it is probably its pre-evolution.

Tomorrow morning in Japan (or this afternoon in American time), a new triple-battle will be shown on Oha Suta. The battle may contain even more new Pokemon or reveal some new information, so I'll get up bright and early to record it and post it. Check back later!

I have a lot of stuff to talk about later, but right now I have to post this first before I go to class!

Today's Oha Suta just revealed a pink new Pokemon from Black and White, Mamanbō (ママンボウ). It was shown in a triple battle, and although we can only see its back sprite, we still get a pretty good look of it (doesn't it look like a Luvdisc evolution?). The battle also revealed that the Pokemon to the left of it, which was revealed a few weeks ago, is named Gigaiasu (ギガイアス). Thanks goes to Filb.de for the screenshot below!

The official Black and White website has updated with clearer screenshots and artwork of the images that were in the leaked CoroCoro magazine scans the other day. I have cut them all out below. Additionally, we have received some new information:

• Gochiruzeru is exclusively found in Pokemon Black.
• Rankurusu is exclusively found in Pokemon White.
• A new Poison-type move called Coil (とぐろをまく) was named; it has 20 PP, but nothing else is know about it.
• With regards to the Pokemon Global Link website, to get an Eeveelution to transfer to Black and White, you need to play a "Pokemon Labyrinth" mini-game. Depending on how far you progress in the game will determine the Eeveelution you receive.
• The next issue of CoroCoro magazine will be released on August 11th, which is a few days earlier than usual. It will contain a Black and White "Master Document," which will contain new Pokemon as well as a ton of information about the games.

Sorry for the lateness with some of these card images; they've been sitting on my Desktop for several days now waiting to be posted, but Black and White news stories and other things kept getting in the way!

We have obtained low-resolution card images of HS - Undaunted's Forretress, Honchkrow, Legend Box, and Rayquaza & Deoxys LEGEND. The prerelease goods have also been revealed: Leafeon from the Japanese Expert Deck Leafeon vs. Metagross is the set's prerelease promo whereas Espeon and Umbreon are featured on a purple background for the prerelease sleeves. HS - Undaunted's prereleases will take place on August 7th, 8th, 14th, 15th and the set will officially be released in stores on August 18th in America.

The Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark debuted in second place this past weekend with 600,602 viewers and 629,470,000 yen in revenue ($7.1 million dollars). Toy Story 3, which unsurprisingly came in first place, debuted on 525 screens (compared to Zoroark's 369) and generated 977,000,000 yen in revenue ($11.1 million dollars), making it the third best opening for an animated film in Japan behind Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle (and I just went to the Ghibli Museum today! :p).

Opinion: I still stick to my opinion that this was the worst Pokemon movie ever (and anyone who disagrees, I dare you to bring other people to watch it and see what they say!). However, I'm going to have to give it a second chance so I can write the movie summary. I was so incredibly frustrated with the slow and uneventful plot that I couldn't even remember what happened (the meat of the movie could have been cut down to 10 minutes; maybe I can't remember anything because nothing happened!). But I digress. Don't laugh, but part of the reason I want to be a filmmaker is so I can make a Pokemon movie one day... one to blow them all out of the water! :D

Update #13 (10:00 AM) - Translations of pages 2 and 3 posted below.

Clearer scans of this month's CoroCoro magazine have been leaked on to Japanese message board 2ch; click their thumbnails below for larger images. Yaminokame has kindly translated all of the information below. Thanks goes to Viper.Fox as well for assisting with the scan acquisition!

Pages 2 and 3

• Professor Araragi leaves you, Cheren (the black-haired boy), and Belle (the blond girl) each a present and tells you to share it with them (they are your childhood friends). This is when you pick your starter. Sometimes you'll battle your friends during your adventure. Belle is spontaneous and one of your two rivals. She also has a strong side to her that shows sometimes, such as when she goes out on her adventure against her father's wishes. During your adventure she will have times where she will be unreliable as well, but she will grow as the story progresses. Cheren is very intelligent. He's extremely trustworthy and will give you advice throughout your journey. His goal is to be a champion.

Pages 4 and 5

• When you pick your starter, the other two go to your two rivals Cheren and Belle. All three of you start your journey together at the same time, just like Ash, Gary, and the other Pallet Town Pokemon Trainers in the show and the three Gold and Silver trainers in the Legend of Raikou special.
• The game starts from Route 1, indicating that this region is much farther away than Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.
• N will keep challenging you in order to confirm his ideas of justice. He calls Pokemon his "friends," but one of the screenshots shows him saying that he wants to split humans and Pokemon and divide them so that the world is black and white. He has the unique idea to set Pokemon free from people. He's looking for the power to grant these ideals.

Pages 6 and 7

• In 3-on-3 battles, if your Pokemon is, for example, on the far left, it won't be able to hit a Pokemon on the far right. There is a button on the bottom left hand corner of the battle screen which is called "Move" and allows you to swap your Pokemon's positions. Thus, a Pokemon on the far right can hit the opponent's Pokemon that are on the far right as well as the middle. The magazine also says that if the Pokemon in the middle uses an attack that hits all Pokemon, then it will be very powerful.
• A new ability called Telepathy prevents Pokemon from receiving damage from teammates. For example, if a Pokemon has Telepathy in a two-on-two or three-on-three battle and one of your Pokemon uses Surf, the Pokemon with Telepathy will not be damaged.
• There is a new, unnamed attack which for one turn will cause all of your team members to avoid attacks that hit all team members.

Pages 8 and 9

• Rankurusu (the green cell) and Gochiruzeru (the black humanshaped Pokemon) are both version-exclusives, but it doesn't say which is in which version.
• Pokemon White will exclusively feature White Forest while Pokemon Black will exclusively feature Black City.
• You can see Black City in the top left of the scan and White Forest right next to it. You can also see game screenshots of the two locations below their artwork.
• There will be cities that look different based on the version even though they are the same city. In the bottom two screenshots on the left page, you can see one city that looks different in both versions of the game.

Pages 10 and 11

• Gochiruzeru (ゴチルゼル) is the Celestial Body Pokemon, also a Psychic-type (the humanshape goth). Its one known ability is Frisk and it can learn a new move called Magic Room, which takes away the effects of items for 5 turns. It is 1.5m tall and weighs 44.0kg. Its name may derive from "gothic" and "madmoiselle."
• Rankurusu (ランクルス) is the Amplification Pokemon, a Psychic-type (the green blob). It knows a new ability called "Dust-Proof" (ぼうじん), which prevents it (and possibly other Pokemon on your team that are out in battle) from taking damage from weather effects such as Sandstorm and Hail. Its second ability is Magic Guard, which was previously exclusive to the Clefable line. It stands 1.0m tall and weighs 20.1kg. Its name may derive from "chaos" and "homunculus."
• Wargle (ウォーグル) is the Valor Pokemon, a Normal/Flying type. Its name derives from "war" and "eagle." One of its abilities is Keen Eye and the other is Encourage, which boosts the power of its attacks but prevents any secondary effects such as Poisoning or Burning (Hihidaruma has the same ability). It can learn a new attack called Free Fall (フリーフォール), which involves the Pokemon grabbing the opponent, lifting it into the air, and then on the next turn throwing it to the ground. It stands 1.5m tall and weighs 41.0kg.
• Kibago (キバゴ) is the Tusk Pokemon, a Dragon-type. Its abilities are Rivalry and Mold Breaker. It has a new attack called Double Chop (ダブルチョップ), which hits the opponent twice. It is 0.6m tall and weighs 18.0kg.
• Koromori (コロモリ) is the Bat Pokemon, a Psychic/Flying-type Pokemon. Its abilities are Unaware and Klutz. It knows a new attack called Heart Stamp (ハートスタンプ), which can cause the opponent to flinch. It is 0.4m tall and weighs 2.1kg.
• Minezumi (ミネズミ) is the Lookout Pokemon, a Normal-type. Its abilities are Run Away and Keen Eye. It knows a new attack called "You First" (おさきにどうぞ) that makes the opponent attack first. It stands 0.5m tall and weighs 11.6kg.

Pages 12 and 13

• Musharna (ムシャーナ) is the Trance Pokemon and is a Psychic-type like its pre-evolution Munna. The dreams of Pokemon are inside its smoke; both Munna and Musharna give off this Dream Smoke. It has the abilities Forewarn and Synchronize, stands 1.1m tall, and weighs 60.5kg.
• If you obtain "Dream Smoke," you can use a "Game Sync" to enable the uploading of your Black and White file to the Internet. Basically, it seems like "Dream Smoke" unlocks your ability to upload your game file.
• The player will receive the C Gear from Makomo, Professor Araragi's friend, after they do something she asks. The C Gear has features for Wi-Fi, local wireless, and infrared.
• The High Link is a building at the center of Isshu through which you can connect to other players' games. Using the High Link, you can travel to another player's world and adventure with them together.

Pages 14 and 15

• With the DS's infrared signal, you can have speedy battles with up to four players and speedy trades directly from your party or PC box. You can also automatically exchange friend codes over infrared now.
• A new feature called Passing By will allow your DS to connect automatically with other players that are nearby. As you advance in Black and White, you will be able to help others on their journey. It is part of the C Gear.
• The games have a Live Caster feature (not for the old DS or DS Lite), which allows you to use the DSi's camera to talk to friends through video feed. Locally, you can talk to up to four people, while over Wi-Fi you can only talk to two. The Live Caster will have a pen and stamp tool so you can play with the pictures while using the video chat.
• Characters in the game will use the Live Caster feature to talk to you as well. o.o' N is seen using this in the trailer that showed on Oha Suta a few weeks ago.

• As has been rumored for months, the two games will now support Kanji for Japanese players. Apparently, the game's script will change a bit as well, perhaps since those who would change to Kanji are older players (will it be a little more detailed with more advanced vocabulary?). This feature won't be in the English games because it's a Japanese language thing.
• There is a new feature called Feeling Check that checks the compatibility of players. One of the things it shows is a game where two people have to keep the same rhythm.

Pages 16 and 17, 18 and 19

• The Pokemon Global Link, which is the service that allows you to upload your Black and White save file to a special website, has two different modes: one where you have your Pokemon play in a dream and another where you can battle online. You can unlock the Global Link feature once you obtain Musharna, the evolution of Munna, meaning it is one of those "gimmick" Pokemon like Plusle and Minun were for 2-on-2 battles.
• If you are registered through the Pokemon Global Link, you can play online battles using a "Rating Mode" or "Random Match" mode at to the Global Terminal inside the Pokemon Center. It will send your battle results to a server and you can compare your results to other players to see who is a strong Trainer.
• In the World of Dreams, your Pokemon have their own rooms that they can play in and they can play mini-games with other Pokemon. Pokemon that your Pokemon becomes friends with in the dream world can be taken back to the real world, being your game; you can capture Pokemon not available in the Isshu PokeDex and transfer them to your games in this fashion. To transfer Pokemon to the computer and thus to the World of Dreams, there will be a new Game Sync option available through the C Gear, which allows you to choose one Pokemon to send to your computer.
• There is going to be an event held from 8/7 to 8/31 where you can encounter an Eeveelution in a dream on the Pokemon Daisuki Club website, perhaps a way to teach players how the new feature will work. Presumably, you can send the Eeveelution you encounter back to Black and White once they are released.

Update (7:00 PM, Monday) - Whoops, we switched around Rankurusu and Gochiruzeru's names as explained here, as well as some of their information. Corrected below. | Update (6:00 PM) - A new batch of photos has been leaked. Scroll down below for translations of them.

The July (technically August) issue of CoroCoro magazine is beginning to link on Japanese forum 2ch; the first photo leaked shows the Ken Sugimori artwork of the bird Pokemon that was shown on Pokemon Sunday this morning. Click the thumbnail below for a larger image - we will post images of the other pages as soon as they crop up. Thanks go to Heerosferret and Yaminokame for the translations below. This post will constantly be updated without edit notifications (unless a new scan pops up), so you might want to refresh once in a while.

1st Photo

• Wargle (ウォーグル) is the Valor Pokemon. Its name derives from "war" and "eagle." It is Normal / Flying, weighs 41kg, and stands 1.5m tall. One of its abilities is Keen Eye and it can learn a new attack called Free Fall (フリーフォール). Free Fall involves the Pokemon grabbing the opponent, lifting it into the air, and then on the next turn throwing it to the ground.
• The names we posted on Friday have been confirmed:
• Rankurusu (ランクルス) is the green, cell-shaped Pokemon; its name could derive from "ranma" (chaos) and "homunculus." It is a Psychic-type, stands 1.6m tall, and one of its two abilities is Magic Guard, which was previously exclusive to the Clefable line.
• Gochiruzeru (ゴチルゼル) is the black / purple Pokemon that looks like a woman; its name partly derives from "gochikku," which means "gothic" in Japanese.

2nd Photo

• Musharna (ムシャーナ) is apparently the evolution of Munna. The magazine says the Pokemon has a secret related to something called Dream Smoke (ゆめのけむり).
• Right now, we're not sure what Dream Smoke is. This is all we can see from the photo: "Get 'Dream Smoke' and you will be able to receive a 'Game Sync,' which allows you to go to the Pokemon Global Link." Apparently, Dream Smoke has something to do with uploading your Black and White save file to the Internet (the Pokemon Global Link) and is somehow related to Musharna.
• The woman's name is Makomo (マコモ) and she is Professor Araragi's friend.

Rest of the Photos

• 1st and 2nd Photos: One version will exclusively feature White Forest while the other version will exclusively feature Black City; Black City is in the first photo while White Forest is in the second.
• 3rd and 4th: These are two childhood friends of the main character. The girl boy with the short hair is Cheren, who was revealed in the Oha Suta trailer two weeks ago. The blond girl is either named Yuberu or Beru (too blurry to tell).
• 5th: Ken Sugimori artwork of three previously-revealed Pokemon. Kibago (キバゴ) is the green Pokemon that slightly resembles Larvitar; "kiba" means "fangs." Kibago was revealed on the anime character sheet last week and later as a toy. Koromori (コロモリ) is a bat Pokemon that was also revealed on the anime character sheet. It is a Psychic / Flying type. The Pokemon's silhouette appears on the hat of Kurt from The Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark, meaning it was technically revealed back in March. We revealed Minezumi (ミネズミ) yesterday.
• 6th and 7th: This man is a mysterious person named N. He also appeared in the Oha Suta game trailer from two weeks ago. Next to him it says, "Pokemon are 'FRIENDS!'"

New Batch of Photos

• In 3-on-3 battles, the placement and setup of your Pokemon will be important to the battle. Depending on who is in the middle and in the front of your party, the way attacks hit will change, so switching your Pokemon's positions based on battle strategy becomes the main point of triple battles.
• A new feature called "Passing By" will allow your DS to connect automatically with other players that are nearby. As you advance in Black and White, you will be able to help others on their journey.
• There is a new "High Link" feature that is reminiscent of the rescues in the Mystery Dungeon games. You can take on missions from a building in the middle of Isshu to help players who are in trouble.
• The DSi will now have a "TV Transceiver" feature (not for the old DS or DS Lite). You can use its camera to talk to friends that you have exchanged friend codes with using "Live Caster." Locally you can talk to up to four people, and over Wi-Fi only two. This may or may not be a Black and White-exclusive feature.
• A new attack called "Magic Room" negates the effects of all items held by your and your opponent's Pokemon. Rankurusu can learn the attack.

Pokemon Sunday just finished airing. In the preview for next week's episode, a silhouette of an unknown bird Pokemon was shown. According to TV Tokyo's schedule, there will be a lot of new Black and White content on next week's episode, though of course CoroCoro scans should leak before then and will probably have the same content. Click the thumbnail below for a larger image.
