The official Japanese Pokemon Black 2 White 2 website has updated with the info we got fromCorocoro, as well as some new screenshots (Click the spoiler to view a few of them), and finally, some gameplay footage! (PJ edit: Finally uploaded the video to our own YouTube channel)
UPD: According to the preview in the latest Corocoro, the June issue (Which we’ll get the leaks for in May) will announce and showcase a new Pokémon! Is it an untimely Genesect or something entirely new? Thanks to AAPF for the heads up!

P.S. Why isn’t June yet? ;-;
Anyone know what this is? http://i39.tinypic.com/20r2s1y.gif
Its GODZILANITAR xDDD
People in the pokemon world make silly huge monster attack movies it seems 😀
What better basis to use than Tyranitar.
In the back of the shot it kind of looks like people leaning over a railing toward a boat… All I can think of is XD with Mecha Groudon & Mecha Kyogre. Chobin’s been at it again!
So the building ing the third picture is apparently some sort of movie set. There was a giant green screen behind the player character in the trailer. Also in the picture, there are film strips on the outside of it.
So the ice IS in fact apart of the map.
Hahahahahhaha I told you so =P
Its not.
There is a beach with palmtrees is under that ice…………………………
Giant Chasm was a forest and Kyurem insta-froze it.
The Ice is real if you take the time to translate the story page. It was sudden which leads me to believe Kyurem froze it.That’s not to say that after you beat the game/evil team/e4 that it won’t thaw out. Three Gym towns are covered by the ice and we have two new ones announced. Perhaps a third leader will be announced or somehow another leader survived. I know lots of people are hoping for a battle frontier/high speed train to Hoenn, but these are facts. The Ice is real, it was caused by an accident two years ago.

You personally understand japanese well enough to be sure?
Its still bullcrap though. There could be a larger area than the crater affected by whatever activity, but we don’t know anything about that because the ice blocks our view.
The ice we see on the map is fake. Theres clear pictures now, look at it.
Undella has a sandy beach with palmtrees even though its underneath a doomsday glacier? I dont think so.
Kyurem filled the crater with snow, not cover it with mile a high ice sheet.
Hi there. PokéJungle translator Kriffix here.
It was too my initial interpretation the the actual area was entirely frozen over. Though in the CoroCoro scans it was ambiguous saying the “map was frozen over”, which can be interpreted as A.The map you see or B.This map that reflects the frozen region.
It can be interpreted both ways. At this point its difficult to say.
Some people say the way the Ice is drawn makes them think its not real ice but instead just hiding the info. Though it is a valid arguement, equally it could be interpreted as a style to hint at this being the work of Kyurem. Which is fully plausible.
There are good arguments for both sides, although I would like to point out that the page you linked to does not explicitly state it is the work of Kyurem (though if half of Unova really IS frozen over it almost definitely is).
I’ve done some translations that I’m saving for tonight to go with a live Pokémon Smash translation post. Please keep checking back for more info that will shed light on the situation.
Thank you for using PokéJungle as your news resource 🙂
Look, if you
-cannot tell from looking at it that its fake because of a white border, the ice going over the edge of the map, by the stylized texture and its zero interaction with the region (look at skyarrow bridge etc)
-think areas covered by a single miles wide and thick chunck of ice makes any sense (its not even snow like in Kyurems crater)
Then consider this:
There is a beach accessible in the games.
There is no beach on the already visible parts of the map.
The Beach may well go off of the map to the left or right. We know nothing for sure.
It’s honestly impossible to come to an absolute conclusion with the information currently available. It’s simple enough to say it doesn’t look like ice is physically there, but then we’d be denying the possibilities of abstractness or style to get across the idea or hint and Kyurem. Not to mention the fact that the Japanese text focuses on the ice abstracting things. (admittedly saying “map” but at the same time not outright denying the possibility of anything else).
I honestly believe it could go either way, but now lean towards it being a ploy to hide the map (In my PERSONAL opinion 60%/40%, but its best to be as unbiased as possible when translating and reporting).
Yay! So frozen region is true! I want to know more about this game ;< awww When they could reveal more info's….
Its not. Stop believing these unrealistic claims (like seriously, if it was snow Id understand, not freaking ice) and look at the picture. The ice is not part of the region.
I would agree to your claim that the ice is fake and just serves to block off edited areas of the map, but the official site actually said that the ice is the result of some sort of accident that occurred two years ago. Is this a lie or a mistranslation to you?
Basically CoroCoro and the Japanese site says “What has happened to Unova!?”. And then goes on to talk about the map covered in Ice. Whether it means map as in the map displayed on the page or whether they mean map as in the map that reflects the region is quite ambiguous.
There is no defining evidence for either one, so just sit back and we’ll let you know as soon as we do. 🙂
It doesnt directly relate the two.
It points out how half of the map is covered in ice for now and mentions that some rural accident happened in Unova.
No idea what that means since the ice is in the way

If you take a serious look at this picture and still honestly believe its part of the region then there is no concievable way of preventing your disappointment from when you’ll be walking on a beach instead of ice.
OMG
This just looks outstanding. I just cannot wait until the release! 😀
if you think about it it’s impossible for the ice to cover as much as it does on the map bacause in the picture it covers the pokemon league.
There are no new Pokemon, is Genesect 🙂
I’m not sure if anyone noticed this, but I seen this from the video… It definitely says “Black 2” which is the name they’ve been using for the male player character. Here’s a (bad) paint thing I done for y’all!

yep. I’ll be writing an article about the potential PokéPerfomances later on. Keep your eyes peeled.
just an idea. alot of people have pointed out that in castelia city’s port, theres what appears to be some new boats. alot of people have questioned how we would get to opelucid city, so maybe, castelia will be the second to last city, so you could get on a boat there, and travel from there to opelucid, under the bridges or something.
@Charon You seriously need to lighten up dude. Jumping all over others for their personal opinion trying to get your opinion across doesn’t make for good discussion. You are taking the fun and friendly part out of fun and friendly debate and discussion. Lighten up. We are all entitled to our opinions. Thank you.
That new water gym leader kinda….scares me. xD
ASDFGHJKL so excited. I need this. ;o; Everything looks amazing so far!
By the way, what’s the chances of Pokemon Smash showing anything new?
I think there will something little at the very least. Possible something of medium size if we’re very lucky.
Don’t forget we have the possibility of a new Pokémon on our hands so we need to keep our eyes peeled.
We’ll be doing live translation of the news here on PokéJungle with regular updates and other translations that we’ve made and have been saving for the trailer shock to cool off.
What time does Pokemon smash air? I checked serebii and it says they will be most likely playing BW2 and it will have “a lot of information”. Here’s hoping!
It’ll air in about 4 hours. Theres a chance that the new trailer spoiled most of what they were going to reveal. But either way Masuda will be there. We’ll be doing a live news report so keep checking back!
Awesome! At the very least there will be proper gameplay, which I’ve been waiting for..
I have feeling that it’ll just give us a little more insight on how the actual game play looks. Noting much more in terms of brand new info though.
If everyone looks at the map in the trailer and look to the right, there is a city/town in one of the mountains on the border of the glacier.
Maybe the rumored “3rd” replacement gym leader is located there?
Isn’t a battle supposed to be showcased in smash?
Stuff I can see through the ice: new islands on the right of the map, and some kind of lake near Victory Road.
PS: Animated trainer sprites, yay!
Cannot WAIT for this game!
Also, I can see that Giant Chasm is all iced up. Further proof that the ice is fake – how can you have ice under more ice?
I think Smash may reveal what Overdrive is. Also the guys over at smogon will be watching the battle to see if we can can some estimates of what both of the formes BSTs are.
I’m pretty sure Black Kyurem has 150 Attack and White Kyurem has 150 Special Attack, because if you look at their signature moves, Freeze Shock is physical and Ice Burn is special.
Lol, its not frozen. its just a way to ”cover” up other parts of the map for new areas, like how they did with the clouds in DP if i remember
