The scans of June’s CoroCoro issue will probably leak Friday or Saturday of this week, so it seems like a great time to talk about what we want to see!
More new gym leaders? An explanation for the movie and green screen pictures? Some hint as to the storyline?!
Let’s get a lively discussion going! Personally I’d like to see the rest of the map…

Hoping the preview for next week will have something juicy!

It has been announced that the PGL will be going down June 5th through June 21st while they perform the upgrade. You can see a small preview of the new design in the picture above, looks fairly similar with a few minor changes. There will be a new area in the Dream World called “Cool Hole“, confirming that Black 2 and White 2 will also be able to connect.
There’s also a new “Report” page which allows you to see different statistics. Make sure to wake up your Pokémon before the maintenance starts, if you don’t you won’t be able to remove them from the Dream World until the site re-opens. Also, Berries left in the Dream World will now be “absorbed” and disappear if you don’t log in for over 100 days. Scary

ps- What would you change about the Global Link?

Pokemon Smash aired earlier today, and, as per usual, we did our live coverage! The episode really focused on Keldeo, and to showcase some of it’s abilities the cast of Pokemon Smash used it in several battles! The gameplay footage shown revealed Keldeo to be #298 in the BW2 Pokedex and showed off a cool new route covered in balance beams. As well as revealing that Sewaddle, Growlithe, Sunkern, Koffing, Magby and Magnemite can all be encountered and caught in the wild early in the game!

Hello guys, pokejungle translator Kriffix here once again!
In just a few hours we will be having our usual live translation of Pokémon Smash right here.
We have been promised a demonstration of Keldeo in battle. What will this reveal? Who knows!
That’s why you have to be here to find out!
In the meantime however, I would like to draw your attention to this little old map…
There has been much debate as to whether Unova is actually frozen over or whether this is merely a ploy to conceal information. My initial interpretation is that it was in fact frozen over. That is how the original Japanese text from CoroCoro read to me. It was only when someone pointed out that that it specifically uses the word “map” (as opposed to region itself) that I began to feel there was room for the latter interpretation.
i
To me though, word choice of “frozen map” always felt like it was trying to scream “Frozen map that reflects the actual state of the Unova region”, after all isn’t that what maps do? Plus, Japanese is a language that omits things that are considered to be ‘a given’. (I.E the map is frozen therefore the region it represents is). It feels very redundant to say something like “Here is the frozen map of the frozen Unova region”. It’s just awkward and unnecessary.
i
Alas, the fact that I too speak English has caused me to become split between my initial interpretation and the somewhat sterilised English translation.Something that may be of interest though, is that it only really seems to be the western side of the internet that is currently debating this. I have searched many Japanese threads and it took me a good 30 minutes to even find someone who questioned it being frozen.
What’s more interesting, is that the few people who are questioning it all seem to be focusing their posts on this single thread. Out of the hundreds of posts here, there is about 5 posts suggesting that it is not frozen, 3 of which seem to be the same person (judging by how he/she comes across) although they are all anonymous.
These 5 or so posts versus the couple of thousand or so that are simply saying something along the lines of “Wow, I wonder what happened to Unova!” (1,2,3,4 among others).
