Just a quick update. Basically Pokémon Sunday this week didnt reveal any new information. In fact, all they’ve done is just tease all the new Pokémon we know about from this months CoroCoro magazine. There are 2 reasons why this has happened, one is because Pookémon Sunday is filmed a few weeks in advance and the second is because this months issue of CoroCoro magazine isnt officially due out until the 15th of this month. Hopefully we’ll have some video of the new Pokémon in action next month, but Pokémon Sunday will unlikely reveal any other new info.

As for CoroCoro, we’ve got a few pieces of additional infomation. Zorua and Zoroark are only available by thier respective events (the 13th movie Celebi for Zorua and one of the Shiny Legendary dogs for Zoroark). Interestingly, the Zorua and Zoroark are suppose to represent the Zorua and its Mother Zoroark from the 13th movie, Ruller of Illusions: Zoroark.

Zoroark will know Fury Swipes, Faint Attack, Scary Face, and Taunt when you catch it in Black and White, while Zorua will know Scratch, Leer, Pursuit, and Fake Tears. Zoroark can learn a new move called ‘Night Burst’ that will also lower the opponents accuracy. It is clamed to learn the move at a high level.

Aparently, Hihidaruma’s ability, Encourage, will boost the power of attacks, but will disable any secondary effect they have (which would be useful is they disable effects that would lower your own stats)

Acording to Pokebeach, Meguroko’s new ability, EarthquakeSpiral, should be translated as Overconfidence. While this makes more sense for a move that boosts attack power after it KO’s an opponent, most sites seem to be sticking to EarthquakeSpiral for now. However see the note at the bottom of this news artical for info on names.

Also according to Pokebeach, Zekrom’s Ability should be Teravoltage, not Terra Voltage. This makes more sense as teravolt is a unit of messurments for voltage, where as terra would more be for earth moves. Still again, see the note below for names.

One thing to note about names of new Pokemon, Abilities, Moves, Towns or anything introduced into Black and White, is that the name we have for it now is the Japanese name, and it is likely that it will be changed for the English version of the games. The only exception to this are Reshiram and Zekrom, as their names have been featured on Pokemon.com and Nintendo.co.uk – both English speaking sites. However every other name of a Pokémon, Move or Ability has the possibility of being renamed. However until it apears in English, all we have is the Japanese names to work with. As soon as we know English names for things, we’ll start posting them here.

That’s all for now, we’ll bring you more news when we know it!
