Following Thursday's leaks of CoroCoro, the official site has posted all the information and images about the game. While it doesn't provide any further news bar Mareep being #025, Arcanine being #052 and Azurill being #030, the images do showcase the game properly and provide the first true insight into the game. As such, I have created a pre-release screenshot page which contains all of these images. We'll also be creating pre-release pages to showcase the new information Click the image to go to the page.

Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 - Pokémon Smash Details
Pokémon Smash has just aired and is showcasing Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 details. While it has primarily showcased the same parts of the game revealed in CoroCoro and the video shown above, it did provide a small playthrough with Junichi Masuda showing the presenters going through the first part of the game. It shows that Hiougi City is a massive city, unlike previous starting towns and confirms the starters as Snivy, Tepig & Oshawott. The Pokémon have new animations and the routes are more detailed. Azurill & Lillipup found in an early route.
They then showed a battle between two presenters beginning with Reshiram VS Black Kyurem. Our friends at Filb will have a video shortly

Pokémon Black 2 & White 2
The first images from CoroCoro have started to come. These images showcase the first screenshots of Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 and provide a lot of information. First, the game is set in Unova and shows the new trainers and the rival. The game is set 2 years later than in BW and features the map of the Unova region being partially frozen, while other areas have been updated, such as Route 4. The Unova Pokédex has 300 Pokémon within it. There are various new areas in Unova including Hiougi City (ヒオウギシティ), where you begin your journey. There are other areas which has a gym leader who focuses upon Poison; Homika (ホミカ), who is also said to be in the anime this June and sits in her gym which is a music club, fitting her appearance with a guitar. Another gym leader is Shizui (シズイ), the Water-type leader. The trainer with the spiky hair is the rival and there is a new researcher called Akuroma (アクロマ) who researches Pokémon Strength
Hiougi City has a Pokémon Centre and a Trainer School and areas where you can look upon the areas. There are shops, underwater tunnels with clear glass (Mantine flowing overhead), building with blue and red statues all around Unova.
That's all the information these scans provide.
It has also been confirmed that Black Kyurem will know the move Freeze Shock and that White Kyurem knows the move Ice Burn.
Within the new Unova Pokédex, which contains a combination of old and new (Unova) Pokémon, Psyduck is #026, Riolu is #033 and Metagross is #254, with other Pokémon such as Tyranitar, Lapras & Arcanine being available. We'll bring more should it come later but click the thumbnails for the larger images

Hidden in the cover of this issue, in addition to informing us of Black 2 & White 2 information, is the revelation of Meleotta's Pirouette Forme sitting in the title of CoroCoro as seen to the right, indicating it will be showcased in full during the issue. For those not in the know, Meloetta's Pirouette Forme is a Normal/Fighting-type and changes from the Normal/Psychic-type Aria Forme when a move, Relic Song, is used in battle. The image also showcases what many believe may be new characters, but there is no evidence to support them being related to Pokémon at this time. Images from the issue are expected any moment now so keep checking back
Edit @ 23:58: Oha Suta aired a short time ago and showcased a new feature based upon the upcoming movie: Keldeo VS The Sacred Swordsman: Keldeo.
