The official CoroCoro website posted a new silhouette of the new 5th Generation Pokemon. As you can see from the picture on the right that it is among a timeline showing all the games from Red & Blue till HeartGold & SoulSilver. However, theres an image that comes right after the HeartGold & SoulSilver covers. The image essentially confirms that the new games will be the 5th generation's !

It is also possible that this new Pokemon would be on the cover of the brand new game coming out in Japan by the end of year. This gives us a clue on what this new Pokemon could be, either a Legendary or a

starter because in all of the previous game covers the Pokemon that were on it were Legendaries and Starters. However, it is not yet confirmed that this new Pokemon would be on the cover of the new 5th generation game.

Pokemon Sunday confirmed that they were going to reveal this new Pokemon on their next show which is on February 21st and later announced that they would reveal another silhouette of a different Pokemon. It is possible that these Pokemon are the same but at the same time they could be two different Pokemon. And it was never actually stated that this new Pokemon was actually "Z". Therefore we could be dealing with two new Pokémon.

Expect CoroCoro to reveal the new Pokemon on February 15th which is the release date of the magazine.

Today the Official HeartGold & SoulSiver site was opened. The site features a language selector that is not yet usable to other languages except for English and Canadian (EN).

The site contains information on the new PokéWalker and your partner Pokémon walking by your side. Also, those who chose to pre-order, as stated before, will be given a Ho-Oh and Lugia figure; Arceus will not be given out.

Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver were also released in Korea today, February 4th. March 14th is still the set date for released in the Northern American territory (US & Canada), and will be available on the 26th of March for European buyers.

With Kotone's debut imminent in the upcoming episode "An Egg Scramble", airing this Saturday (February 6th, 2010), the official Pokémon site has made adjustments to Kotone's page, revealing her English (US) name.

Kotone will now be known as Lyra. Lyra will also be keeping her English name for the upcoming re-release of Pokémon Gold & Silver; Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver.

As some might have noticed when we released the new site, comments worked in a particular way. Due to the suggestion of some members we have changed the way commenting to news articles work. Like before, after a news article is approved, a thread is posted in the news discussion. However, instead of the old system, where it was handled by checking the RSS feed (with some lag due to the possibility of posting right after the RSS was checked), the thread is now made in real time. Furthermore, our twitter status is updated in real time with a link to the news article.

We have also added a new feature for Admins to post updates. When we post an update, a post is made in the "Keep Updated with out updates" thread and updates our twitter status as well. For those who follow ProjectPokemon on twitter, please follow project_pokemon.

At U.S. Gamestops, the NZ Jirachi will be given out between February 27th, 2010 and March 13th, 2010. As many of you may know, this Jirachi, when traded to HeartGold and/or SoulSilver, unlocks the Edge of the Night Sky Pokewalker course. The flyer from GameStop is pictured below.
