Release:
Japan: 9-18-2010
Overseas: Spring 2011/TBA
Platform: Nintendo DS
Genre: RPG
5th Generation Pokémon is here to expand the universe with more Pokémon, characters, and places to explore, this time the game will take place in the Isshu Region, a region much farther than regions we've explored:
Added with the fact that this is a farther region, routes will not be related to previous, as the first route in this game is reset to Route 1.
Professor Araragi, New Main Playable Characters, and childhood friends Cheren and Belle who are your rivals.
Professor Araragi will send you and your rivals the 3 starters as gift Pokémon to start your journey. (All 3 starters will be in use in this game instead of having and player and 1 rival pick 2 starters.) (Left)Cheren is intellegent and will give the trainer tips and trustworthy advice, his goal is to be the champion, while (Right)Belle is spontaneous and goes on a Pokémon journey against her father's wishes, she's a bit unreliable at times.
A mysterious charactered called N, he claims Pokémon are his "Friends" and wants to split them and humans so that the world is "Black and White." He seeks power and challenges the player ocassionally to meet his ideals.

New Attacks & Abilities revealed so far:

New features revealed so far:
on-3 battles, if your Pokemon is, for example, on the far left, it won't be able to hit a Pokemon on the far right. There is a button on the bottom left hand corner of the battle screen which is called "Move" and allows you to swap your Pokemon's positions. Thus, a Pokemon on the far right can hit the opponent's Pokemon that are on the far right as well as the middle. The magazine also says that if the Pokemon in the middle uses an attack that hits all Pokemon, then it will be very powerful.
-A new item called the C Gear, it has features for Wi-Fi, local wireless, and infrared.
-With the DS's infrared signal, you can have speedy battles with up to four players and speedy trades directly from your party or PC box. You can also automatically exchange friend codes over infrared now.
-A new feature called Passing By will allow your DS to connect automatically with other players that are nearby. As you advance in Black and White, you will be able to help others on their journey. It is part of the C Gear.
-The High Link is a building at the center of Isshu through which you can connect to other players' games. Using the High Link, you can travel to another player's world and adventure with them together.
-The games have a Live Caster feature (not for the old DS or DS Lite), which allows you to use the DSi's camera to talk to friends through video feed. Locally, you can talk to up to four people, while over Wi-Fi you can only talk to two. The Live Caster will have a pen and stamp tool so you can play with the pictures while using the video chat.
-The Pokemon Global Link, which is the service that allows you to upload your Black and White save file to a special website, has two different modes: one where you have your Pokemon play in a dream and another where you can battle online. You can unlock the Global Link feature once you obtain Musharna, the evolution of Munna, meaning it is one of those "gimmick" Pokemon like Plusle and Minun were for 2-on-2 battles.
-If you are registered through the Pokemon Global Link, you can play online battles using a "Rating Mode" or "Random Match" mode at to the Global Terminal inside the Pokemon Center. It will send your battle results to a server and you can compare your results to other players to see who is a strong Trainer.
-In the World of Dreams, your Pokemon have their own rooms that they can play in and they can play mini-games with other Pokemon. Pokemon that your Pokemon becomes friends with in the dream world can be taken back to the real world, being your game; you can capture Pokemon not available in the Isshu PokeDex and transfer them to your games in this fashion. To transfer Pokemon to the computer and thus to the World of Dreams, there will be a new Game Sync option available through the C Gear, which allows you to choose one Pokemon to send to your computer.
-Version Exclusive Areas, and areas in both games will have differences in their looks depending on which version you play

Am I the only one who has noticed that female heroes seem to not wear much and the male is wearing almost too much?

I remember reading a rumor that said that this games region could be based off America. But if that's the case I hope that Japan doesn't think American girls are all Keisha.
