For those who don't browse /v/ but are curious to the fan names so far for the new ones seeing as the English official ones aren't out yet.

Water - Wotter (Water + Otter)
Grass - Smugleaf (his last forms already nicknamed "Conseeded", forgot what his 2nd form was nicknamed)
Fire - Pignite (Pig + Ignite) and Pignition (Pig + Ignition)

Pokemon Black & White Official Site Updated

Existing B/W site: www.pokemon.co.jp/bw/index.html
New Pokemon group page: www.pokemon-sp.jp/top.html
New B/W site: www.pokemon-sp.jp/series/bw/

The Pokemon Black & White official site was updated today with all the information that leaked out of Coro Coro Comics earlier this week.

Of particular note is our first official look at your three starter Pokemon:

From left to right, you have:

Tsutaja
Type: Grass, Classification: Grass Snake Pokemon, Ability: Overgrow, Height: 0.6m, Weight: 8.1kg

Pokabu
Type: Fire, Classification: Fire Pig Pokemon, Ability: Blaze, Height: 0.5m, Weight: 9.9kg

Mijumaru
Type: Water, Classification: Sea Otter Pokemon, Ability: Torrent, Height: 0.5m, Weight: 5.9kg

You start the game by selecting one of these three as your partner.

But first, you have to pick your main character, selecting as always from a male or female protagonist.

You can perhaps see why there's some buzz about the main characters being so much more adult this time around. The official site refers to the male protagonist as having a smart/stylish image and the female protagonist as having a lively/active style.

Black & White takes place in a new setting, Isshu Region. The screenshots we've seen so far have been from the towering Hiun City. Now we have a closer look thanks to the official site:

The tiny screenshots shared at the site showing the more 3D nature of the city -- most notably the streets that extend out into the screen. There's also a shot which shows the player at a dock. "Will you be able to board a ship from here?" asks the site.

Also new to the site is a section on connectivity with the upcoming Pokemon movie. This section provides a slightly better look at Black & White battles.

Purchase an advanced movie ticket, and you'll be able to bring special color versions of Suicune, Raikou and Entei to Black & White.

The screens show a special battle that pits Raikou against Zoroark, potentially allowing you to catch Zoroark. While it looks like you're facing off against Entei, that's just Zoroark using his "Illusion" move which transforms him into other Pokemon.

^ That kinda made me sad I, was hoping for Tsutaja to be Fire...
Oh well.. Looks like Treeko has a cousin!

Edit:
And so like... I looked at their site...The male character looks alot more attracting in the original art then the fan... ._.
As for the female.... That's some ponytail! I think she now deserves to be thrown in the list of Chracters with Crazy yet attracting hairs XD

[YunaGold]

They really outdid themselves<3
I would so move to Japan just to buy it,
and secretly move back haha...

[WafflyWaffles]

heeeee
I'm still picking the male character for the lulz and cause i like em

also Yuna your Icon and Sig s-so cute

[Ascherit]

Those are some crazy short-shorts.

[Vindicta™]

Today's Pokemon Sunday:



Featuring starters, in-game battle scenes, movie 13 in-game bonus, Hiun City.

[TonSensei]

O_O! Holy crap!
They can actually breath/move in battle now! - Instead of just hopping up and down xD
And the Part in Hiun City! that was amazing how it seemed like people were shopping and running from/to somewhere! and they move out of your way instead of just bumping into you -- Standing there like robots for all eternity waiting for you to move Haha.

Well Done<3!

[Mega]

YAY! They finally did something about the battle scenes with the frozen in place sprites xD

Even though I said I wouldn't buy these I might have to if they're changing this much

[Bolter]

Hmm, looks alot more realistic now compared to the previous generations.

[Zelkyri]

Now if they can make us go back to one of the previous generations' region like Gold/Silver did then it would be PERFECTION.
But, aside from giant pixels, I'm interested in what they'll add this time to the battling. GS gave us new types, RS gave us abilities and nature,and DP gave us the physical/special attack type separations so I can't really think of anything more aside from the usual attacks/abilities things.

[Fayt]

Wow. Looks visually great so far. I only hope that they don't go overboard with the graphics and wind up screwing up something else D:

[Bolter]

and the next remake is Ruby and Sapphire, so there you go

man at first I thought they will use up the whole Japan and that will be where it will finally end, but I guess not.

"We failed arts in school and now we shall use the legendary Pallete Pokemon to take away all color from this world!This world shall enter an eternity of Black and White.Long live Team (Insert Name Here)"

I foresee this happening if they really want to take color from the world

Their Signature Pokemon would be Smeargle,I can see it now
