The new information we got in CoroCoro has now been added to the official Japanese website for Black/White. If you wanna see some clear screenshots head on over to the site. Very little new information, but some confirmation on a few things:
- Moguryuu’s abilities BOTH activate when sandstorm is active ‘Sand Scatter’ raising speed and ‘Sand Power’ raising the base attack for ground, rock, steel type moves.
- Kurumiru’s ‘Bug Resistance’ attack hits two opponents and lowers Sp Def.
- It appears that ‘C-Gear’ has a feature that allows for you to participate in polls similar to the channel available on the Wii
They have also added a new video feature Global Link information which has not been previously seen. Here’s a quick summary:
- Items you get in the dream world can be transferred over, the video showed a number of berries and Fresh Water being obtainable.
- The Dream World also features short maps that you can traverse by clicking arrows (forwards/backwards/right/left) and encounter items/pokemon.
- Your berry garden needs to be watered and I can’t help but be reminded of FarmVille.
- Interior of your house can be decorated.
- You can add your friends and visit their houses over the internet and your pokemon can “hang out”.
- ‘Global Battle Union’ is the name of the site portion which houses Rankings. They are updated continuously as you battle people and will show the results of your battle.
- GBU battle video shows off Desukan and Doryuuzu again in a single battle against each other. Been waiting to see their animations :3
- You can also add your friends to communicate with them through mail and access ‘Fun Menu’ which seems to have various stats or information about your friends on it.
UPD2: A small amount of official information has come out from the Pokemon Daisuki Club.
- Video was put up showing Vaporeon with ‘Hydration’ ability (cures status ailments during Rain) in which Munna put it to sleep with Hypnosis and it woke back up. The animation for vaporeon slowed while it had the sleep condition! Cool 8D
- Glaceon’s ability is ‘Ice Body’ (heals 1/16 of your pokemon’s max HP while it is hailing)
- PGL is where you will download new C-Gear skins and Pokemon Musical songs
- You can create your own profile. Things displayed include playtime on B/W, badges earned, time spend in Dream World, and Friend List
- You can gradually expand the area you have for planting berries
- The house appearance is customizable as well as your yard… not just the furniture inside.

The dream world seems more interesting the more i hear about it. I will have to fix my wifi before this game comes out D:
What ability was activated in the battle with Doryuuzu and Desukan?
Also, Drill Liner did neutral damage to Desukan.
Good eye, that -should- mean Desukan cannot be a Rock Pokemon.
Meant to add that “if Drill Liner was a Normal or Ground-type move”. It can still be something else like Dark.
But if it was something like dark wouldn’t that have been super effective considering Desukan is most likely a ghost type? (It’s widely accepted as ghost I think)
And if Dark Liner was Normal, it wouldn’t have worked. The easiest assumptions to make on the move are that it’d be Ground, as that is what Doryuuzu’s type will probably be based on the pre-evo, Dark based on the design of Doryuuzu, Steel due to it being a drill, or pure Normal.
If Desukan was a Rock-type, the move can only be Dark-type.
If Desukan is a Ghost-type, the move can only be Ground-type.
If Desukan is a Ghost-type, it can be any of these types.
inb4imessedupbecauseallthisinfohaskeptmeawakeallweek
See? I KNEW I would. :l
Last sentence should say “If Desukan is a Ground-type”. Hope you don’t mind me double-posting up your comments to fix my errors, Jungle. :C
Couldn’t drill liner be Steel type though? It is a drill after all…
Don’t forget steel
you also mean drill liner in the first sentece dont you colonal? lol
YUP. Bl
It also means that Desukan will be a Ghost/Ground Pokemon.
O.o danggggggg you have a really REALLY good eye.
I can’t find the Daisuki Club video. D:
Video is here if you’re logged in: http://www.pokemon.jp/portal/member/summer10/eievui/
Thank you! I love the little nuances in the animations, like Vaporeon’s eyes closing when it’s asleep.
I wanna see the video of my animated cuuuuutie :u: -snuggles vaporeon-
Then consider this my personal gift to you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekeL044SAlA
😀
All other videos are also up on the channel if you wish to see them.
Tyy! ;u;
Where can we find the video?
http://www.pokemon.jp/portal/html/summer10/eievui/
Cool, so we got more info than Corcoro was giving about abilities!
I so want a Moguryuu, but one with Sand scatter…? One with Sand power? I still can’t decide~
Get both.
CLEAR SUGIMORI ART!!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDD *fan boy scream*
and the dream world is sounding better and better by the second. :DD
can some 1 give me the link to the Doryuuzu VS Desukan battle ???
if you go to the official site under the videos, it the global link video, it won’t let me link it DX
but ya the battles, in there. 😀
this doesnt help for the 99% of us who cant read japanese…..
on that page there is a vaporeon video and a glaceon video, then at the bottom some warning about logging in. Do you have to make an account to even watch them? Why doesnt someone upload it to youtube?
nvmnd found it. this video apparently. still loading : /
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vPw4GaSXoU
http://www.youtube.com/user/PLDHnet
Feel free to check ’em out there, then. They’re all uploaded. The battles are grouped together (sans Vaporeon and Glaceon) and Desukan vs. Doryuuzu was part of the trailer for Global Link/Dream World.
I think I might spend more time in the dream world than the actual game! Lol I want to have play dates with my friends. :3
Does the video show the front of Desukan?
nope, just his back again. Hes animated weird, like something rocking the casket trying to get out lol.
Come on Gamefreak! Turn it around!
http://i36.tinypic.com/33k5agh.jpg
Arceus? Is that a demo shot or another fake? I can’t see any reason why Arceus would be in the demo of all things…
I hope they turn eeveelutions’ abilities to weather based ones, since weather takes a big role in this generation.
Would it kill them to show a front sprite of Desukan for once? lol
Things that take my interest..
Being able to customise your house and garden, sort of animal crossing style by the sounds of it, awesome
Glaceon’s new ability, is that instead of snow cloak?
Pokemon slow when they have sleep condition, that’s neat, but does that mean there are other animation changes for other conditions? :p
Loving this game more and more everyday
i think everyone is :DDD
Ewww Farmville knockoffs. I think I’ll just grow my berries in DPPt, thanks. >.< I can do without them for the main storyline.
Pretty awesome about the Ice Body Glaceon… so now we've had 2 abilities revealed, and they're both about recovering HP….
Well, Leafeon will propbally get Solar power, Espeon will propobally get Anticipatation.
If they will show us one more time Desukan’s back sprite, I will elpxode, I WANT A FRONT SPRITE!
(CoroCoro will propobally reveal Desukan and Doryuzuu, because they showed them twice in battles)
not sure if this is anything “special”, but other Pokemon you can meet in the DreamWorld?
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t262/Auraleaf/poke_dream.png
What’s the second one? The others are all clearly recognizable, is that one new? Kinda looks like it has a toucan beak.
i’m pretty sure it’s Farfetch’d
but i could be wrong.
Ah, phooey. You’re right. XD Wouldn’t make much sense to have a new pokemon in the dream world anyway.
Yeah it’s Farfetch’d, I saw the leek it carries.
hopefully 😀
it’d be cool to get a togepi in the DW. :DD
but it could just be the party pokemon you have as there are six pokemon.
dik….we’ll see soon 😀
the only problem with the party Pokemon thing is that a larger picture of Pokabu in DW style [i’m gonna call it that now XD] was shown next to it.
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t262/Auraleaf/poke_dream2.png
too bad the quality is really bad, i don’t know how well the Japanese can be translated >_<
anyone have a link to the new videos
I WANNA SEE A NEW FIGHTING POKEMON! We’ve almost every type except that!
Its a general consensus that Mijumaru’s evo is gonna be water/fighting. So you could consider that one.
I don’t care about that general consensus, nothing is confirmed. Besides, I really don’t like mijumaru.
Awesome news, we can finally decorate our house again!!!!
Thats one of my favorite features of silver/gold.
Anyone seen this yet??
It’s the final evolution of Tsutaja but no one knows if it’s fake or not.
http://pokemonblackandwhite.net/2010/08/11/rumor-new-pokemon-and-tsutaja-final-evolution/
That looks pretty believable to me. The quality of it looks about the same as the Pokabu in the same screen, but it’s with the Toucan which I think was proven fake on Pokebeach a little earlier. Its better than most of the fakes around. I’m gonna say that its fake though, since none of the main sites have anything about it on their main page so far. Maybe you should ask Serebii or someone.
They look fake to me. The toucan doesn’t seem to have any shadow at all, while Tsutajaa’s evolution’s shadow doesn’t match up with its height and size. And if Tsutaaja’s real final evolution was anything near that it would make it the first final evo I dislike :C
Hmm, it is called Tsutanaga, just like someone claimed in a thread on Pokébeach (http://pokebeach.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=83742). Doesn’t quite match that description though.
Those were obviously bogus rumors 😡
Toucan is a confirmed FAKE. I love how people have been using their fingers to cover up the name section so they have less work to do 😡 Tsutaaja’s evolution is an obvious fake too
Fake is fake. There’s too drastic a change between the Stage 1 and Stage 2 to be believable. Not to mention, when you put it next to Tsutaaja’s sprite (as they’ve conveniently done for us) the sprite quality is vastly different. There’s not a single crisp line on the entire sprite.
Plus, the charaters at the bottom of the screenshot prove it’s fake.
http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/chiramiibattle.png
Bottom part look familiar? it looks like they tried to edit out Chiraami’s name and put in their own, but they made a mistake. They took out the ‘no’, which is a particle, not a part of Chiraami’s name. Therefore, it is grammatically incorrect. 🙂
Plus I doubt Big And Powerful Tsutaaja evolution would learn Sweep Slap, which to me still appears to be a juiced-up Doubleslap.
Excellet sleuthing skills!
Not so excellent typing skills. XD I misspelled ‘character’, of all things.
No prob. 🙂 I’d hate for people to get TOO jazzed about a fake and feel disappointed when the real one comes out.
So what types do you think aloe and dento train with my guess is Dento trains with electric and Aloe trains with rock
I think Dento will be Normal or Grass type and Aloe will be Rock, just because of the term of “Shippou” and for the museum.
As long as first gym isn’t Rock/Ground I’ll be good. (I think I’m safe there, Dento really doesn’t look like he trains rock types.)
Dento – Normal, Electric, or Bug
Aloe – Grass (Based off name), Ground, Flying, or Water
I think Leafeon will probably get ‘Chlorophyll’ as its pokedex entry always talk about it.
Dento: Bug
Aloe: Psyquic
Dream world is so interesting..
