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? ;-;
looks freaking amazing!
I cannot Wait to play this game!!!!!!!!!! lol
Just a note, the HP bar has been redesigned, and the In-Battle landscape designs have been improved, such as the grass around the Pokemon being longer and more realistic, rather than a green circle. Also, there is a higher quality frozen-over map on the official site.
Here’s what I get from the video:
1. There seems to be a new evil team, or a redesigned plasma.
2. That researcher guy is a big deal, and there is some stage you go on with him. It kind of looks like a battling stage…
3. You get to star in a movie, and the overworld sprite of that one guy has one of those green suits with the yellow motion tracker balls on him.
4. The Marketplace you go through is similar to the Castelia City walk when you at the farthest northern point.
5. You have to find a lost Minccino in a forest?
6. The Water Gym has a lillypad puzzle.
7. The battle scenes are designed better.
8. Trainer sprites move now as well.
9. The Kyurems are in some kind of eerie black cave.
And comparing the map some more, here are more things I noticed:
1. There are actually boats docked at Castelia City.
2. We have a lighthouse on the island at the opening of the bay.
3. There is a new building to the right of the ferris wheel.
4. Of course all of the new stuff at the bottom left of the map.
5. Mistralton City is the same.
ONE MAJOR THING THOUGH
It seems as though Opelucid City cannot be reached my normal means. If this ice IS coating most of Unova, that means that both entrances to Opelucid are blocked. The way we first got there – through Twist Mountain – does not seem to be accessible. And then the other side appears blocked too.
We have no idea what the ice hides.
The actual reasonable explanation is that Twist mountain has some surprises, they don’t want to show yet.
This looks FREAKING AWESOME!!!!
I love the look of the water gym and the trailer does seem to clear up the confusion with the map…looks like Unova is ACTUALLY frozen and it wasn’t just corocoro’s way of hiding parts of the map for future reveal’s. God i concur…why isn’t it June yet????
Look at the damn ice. It has a white border.
Are you fucking serious.
I dont understand whether people are really that uncapable of noticing that, or if serebii and co have such a huge influence that no one actually checks for themselves when there is clear pictures available, WHILE noticing every single other detail on the map.
they’ve improved the 3d a little bit
Its just more use of other angles. We saw that even in HGSS on the lighthouse for example. Its not new graphics or anything.
But yeah, I love that they use more interesting angles to show beautiful scenery.
Hmmm, maybe the researcher is using the protags in his research. Would make sense since the protags always get crazy strong.
The website seems to have the story posted as well.

Stage of the adventure, a kind of region two years later from the “Pokemon Black and White”!
Indicate the stage of the adventure, a map of the frozen sheets, and Why some kind of accident that occurred in a rural location two years later, what relationship.
The ice sheets were caused by something happening two years ago. They are real and not something being used to hide something on the map.
one thing nobody noticed, if you look at the very end, you see emboar punch his fists together, something he doesn’t do in his old sprite….they changed the sprites! 😀
did not notice that!
Great observation! So excited for this!! The graphics seem to have been altered ever so slightly, like theyve changed the viewpoint or something 😛
Speaking of noticing things…
Did anyone else notice the Mantine in the picture of the underwater passage just chillin’ there??
from what i read in the above comments, unova is experiencing what happened in new york in the LAST MAJOR ICE AGE, so gamefreak must of possibly looked at books concerning this era in time
Oh and anyone notice the thing around 0:52 – 0:53 Which pokemon is that?
The Pokemon is definitely Minccino
I think that was just a godzilla-robot type thing, not a pokemon. Related to the new red/blue/gold building I presume.
if your refering to movie like bit i think its a robotic tyranitar
No I mean the 2-3 seconds which show a metal like pokemon thing with a different character
Oooohhh, that seemed to me to look like a Tyranitar
Yeah, I was thinking Tyranitar too. Maybe a Godzilla reference?
I thought it resembled a close up of rayquaza but maybe my minds just playing tricks with me :-[
It says ‘Enemy? Rival? Mysterious Character Akuroma’ – This is really backing up the argument for his name deriving from ‘achromatic’ isn’t it?! He could be either a completely neutral character with a set goal who won’t go out of his way to help or hinder anyone or someone who sways from one allegiance to another. Well you seem to star in a movie as yourself and later are shown going onto a stage with Akuroma acting out dialogue, so presumably Akuroma is also starring in this movie for whatever reason
In the starting city there is a trainer school and pokemon center, which is unusual. Also Homika has freckles, couldn’t see them from the previous scan lol
When you go on stage with Akuroma, people cheer ‘yay!’ when he walks on and ‘ぶっとばせえ’ when you walk on from the opposite side, assuming Akuroma is still on the stage at that point, it hints at you going on to fight him. I’m still presuming this is acting
The map shows that the piers coming from Hiun (or Castelia I think it is) are different and show boats outside now, it might just be more detailed since there was definitely atleast one or two boats there last time which didn’t show in the old map. There’s also a building with a yellow roof in Raimon (Nimbasa) that wasn’t there before, by the ferris wheel.
this game is goin be epic i cant wait for these games idec about speculation no more
Judging by the number of Pokemon she has (only two), Homika is either the first or second gym.
Considering that he’s the only other confirmed leader, I’m guessing its safe to assume that Shizui will also be either the first or second?
I bet the new Pokemon is Genesect!!!
Are they going to announce Genesect or has it already been announced?
most likely genesect. It hasn’t been announced yet
that building is probably pokealthon. black white kyurem seems to have ag like sprites. +: hopefully ”genesect” will hqve a regigas like role
I feel like the fact that they’re announcing all the event-only pokemon this early means they’re gonna end this generation earlier than they have other ones. They waited a while in gen 4 to announce arceus, but they’re already maybe announcing genesect?
Well i doubt it, Because it might have a new movie about genesect. Its kind of early to say it you know? Maybe it could be.. But A New Pokemon could be a forme of another Pokemon for the new movie, or a secret one. Which could be Keldeo new Alt forme (as a secret spoiler to it).
Why would it be Genesect, that would be for the next movie.
I’m thinking it will be a bonafide newbie. But we don’t know how new.
I wonder if it’s a brand new pokemon(though I highly doubt it), what we will call it and probably the new pokemon that will follow it? Gimme dat Generation 5.5
and @PokeJungle: I know you’re in love with Serebii, but man the people on that forum are so unbearable. ._.
I stay away from the forum :B
As a longtime member of Serebiiforums, I assure you we’re not all bad.
Guys the poison gym leader uses a koffing x3 and probably a venipede according to her guitar ;P but look at the top of this screenshot!
