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 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! | ||

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 (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.

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.
