News \ Pokemon B&W Starters and their names & Characters Revealed!

The Pokemon Black and White Starters have been revealed! The fire-type is a pig-like Pokemon with a similar tail to a Spoink. The grass-type has a longer, pointy mole-like snout and the water-type being a complete rip-off of Piplup.

The new playable characters have also been unveiled, with CoroCoro telling us that they are "Much older chracter's than those of the previous pokemon games"

The game is also set in the fictional land of the Isshu Region

Some new scans have also come in, revealing a full body picture of the main protagonists. It also features a place that appears to be a train station.

Stay tuned for more details!

Oh not, it's blue, lives and the sea and looks nothing like a penguin
I fail to see how the sea otter is a rip off of Piplup.

also you may want to actually put their names in the news article, at the moment the titles lying to me

If you look at the bottom of the middle picture. You see a train track. Maybe its like Gold and Silver how theres 2 Regions and you can travel between them with a train?

That's going to be such a pain in the ass flying tp that one middle spot to get to the other region just because it's too "far away" for your Pokemon to fly to.

We already have an Otter Pokemon. That is Buizel. Pigs, we have Spoink, and Grumpig. Grass Snakes? Well...That just looks like the baby of a Sceptile and Arbok, then.

Saying the trainers are 'much older'...could that hint that the new transport is a car?

G-Ramsey said: well the water one is actually a friggin sea otter. animals in real life that live in the same habitat will look somewhat similar. if you put pokemon into the equation, they will look very similar. anyway, those are the shortest short shorts i have seen in a pokemon game yet... i think.

Looks like the Pokemon company are marketing the games for older audiences now.

K-Man said: Wait until their third evolution. They always look mean by then.
Doesn't change how they look currently

Yay said: Are we looking at the same ones here?
Yes.

Yay said: It's Japanese?
Yeah, true. It'd be pretty hard for a girl to get that hairstyle in real life though.
