During the rather slow news period, we have been upgrading various parts of the site, and now that is starting to include classic main series games. With special thanks to Korusan for putting time into it, we've now upgraded our classic Pokémon Gold & Silver section up to the standards shown with our coverage of Pokémon Black & White last year and it contains all the information about the various aspects and introductions within the game.

Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition
Online retailer Amazon has posted higher resolution box-art for the upcoming game; Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition. This boxart confirms something we thought we saw on the smaller box art, that the game is DSi Enhanced. All games come with a specific product code which dictates the game and the system it runs off of. Normal DS games have NTR, 3DS games have CTR but DSi enhanced games, including Black & White, have the code TWL. Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition's code features TWL. It is currently unknown whether or not this means the game is region locked, as many DSi Enhanced games are or if the game utilised the special DSi features including more RAM, WPA online compatibility and the camera.

You make new Pokémon friends by linking with wild Pokémon outside of battle and befriend the leaders who can then aid you with their special power, increasing your strength, movement or Hit Points.
You also have the ability to battle with friends across the Nintendo WiFi Connection and wireless play.
The release date is also confirmed to be March 17th 2012 and will retail at 5,800 Yen. It also revealed new warrior leaders and their Pokémon

Pokémon Black & White - Pokédex
Another thing which people have asked for is for more easy access to see moves that Pokémon haven't been able to obtain since Generation III within our Generation V Pokédex, especially in regards to the Move Tutors and XD Purification only moves. As such, I have included this update among a few bug fixes in the setup of the Pokédex, allowing for even easier checking for set possibilities without the need to check through multiple generations.
