‘Black’ and ‘White’ Prerelease Leaks, Pokemon Special Information

As we reported yesterday, Black and White have shipped early – many Japanese have already received their copies and are posting information and images on forums like 2ch. We will be compiling all of their information into this post, so be sure to keep checking back – this post is a team effort by Viper.Fox, Mew Jadester, Gin, Bangiras, DarkVulture, and Predator675! The points below are arranged from newest to oldest; read them from bottom to top if this is your first time reading this post. We’ll begin our own coverage of the games once we receive our copies.
