Headline: Starters, player characters, region revealed
A scan from the June 2010 issue of the magazine CoroCoro has appeared online, revealing various information on the upcoming games Pokémon Black and White.
According to the scan, the first Generation V games will be set in the region known as 「イッシュ」 Isshu, which is quite a distance away from all previous regions. The magazine scan implies that the region is a foreign place that must be traveled to by boat or airplane. Legendary Pokémon reports that a new location titled 「ヒウンシティ」Hiun City will possibly be in the games, though this has yet to be confirmed via scan.
The new playable characters are also presented. They are stated to be more grown-up than past protagonists, and both are wearing devices on their wrists that may be the successor of the Pokégear, PokéNav and Pokétch.
Finally, the scan also shows the starters of Pokémon Black and White; as in previous generations, the starters are Grass-, Fire-, and Water-type. The starters' names have yet to surface in a scan, though PokéBeach reports that they are possibly 「ツタージャ」 Tsutaaja, 「ポカブ」 Pokabu, and 「ミジュマル」 Mijumaru, though these have yet to be confirmed.
Update : Further information has come in, with updated information about Zoroark. As previously reported on Bulbanews, Zoroark has a new method of catching. It appears that it will appear when one of the three legendary beasts from the thirteenth movie giveaways is transferred to Black and White. Additionally, it has a new ability, 「イリュージョン」 Illusion, and two new moves 「イカサマ」 Trickery and 「つめとぎ」 Claw Sharpen. Again, this is unconfirmed by official sources.
