Absol and Pelipper as part of the new UnovaDex

Probably old Pokémon that appears in BW might be part of the new UnovaDex. (Solrock, Lunatone, Drifblim, and etc.)

Some 2 new arenas

Possibly a new Battle Frontier Facility?

And did somebody mention that these two games are still compatible with the Dream World?

Because it is.

Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 - Global Link Compatibility Confirmed

The official site has recently updated and has stated that the new battle season on the Global Battle Union will have a temporary pause during the duration and is scheduled to end ssometime in June. It is announced that this pause is due to the Global Link going down during June in order for a renovation based upon the inclusion of Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2. It is currently unknown how much will change and what features will be added for these games nor do we know how long the maintenance will be but as soon as we do.

I was the one who told Serebii that.

A battle against Black Kyurem and White Kyurem, looks like battle music is a remix of BW's wild battle.

A female left-handed guitarist for a gym leader?! Sweetness! Now us musicians can finally be properly represented in the Pokemon world.

(Albeit I'm a man and play bass - and right-handed - but it's close enough)

[wraith89]

Hmmm, that blue glow on Black Kyuremu and red glow on White Kyuremu gives it an interesting touch. Almost like a fusion reactor of some kind... pretty nice!

[Dluka]

I cannot wait for the next Nintendo Direct coming out in America. I'm sure we will be hearing a plethora of information for this coming year as well as the American release for Black 2 and White 2. Though, I'm still convinced that Nintendo will save the best for E3 2012. Sadly we can never go by rumors we hear or see online because when confronted about these, Nintendo always leaves us hanging with the usual comment, "Nintendo does not comment on rumors." Wow the suspense is killing me for these new Pokemon games. I am eager to see how Dream World will be affected. Who knows? We may even have an addition to Gen 5 Pokemon in Dream World. One can dream right? On a side note, I may not be a musician, but I am left handed. Does that count for something? :tongue:

From the recent Pokémon Smash Episode (4/28/12):

-Keldeo is #298 in the Unova Dex

-Summary Screen has slight aesthetic changes

-Growlithe confirmed to appear in a route surrounded by towers and bridges that connect raised platforms

-Sunkern, Magby, Koffing, and Magnemite appeared in a battle

and Serebii put up a regional dex for B2/W2

Times like this I really wish I could understand Japanese to know more about videos like this. I wish they had something like that in America when I was a kid. Thanks everyone for the news and Pokemon Smash videos. They are getting me even more pumped for Black 2 / White 2 and especially that Keldeo!

[ScientificPikachu]

Guess what?

CoroCoro leaks have shown that the Kami Trio (Thundurus, Tornadus and Landorus) have NEW forms!

Also, this issue showcases Cheren, Bianca, Brock and Giovanni *yet to be confirmed

News comes from Serebii.

CoroCoro Scans Serebii as you said, sorry my english.

New Appearances

Kami Trio (Thundurus, Tornadus and Landorus) and new forms.

Old Gym Leaders

Pokémon Best Wishes 2

[Guested]

The World Tournament feature (that deal with the old gym leaders and champions) has one piece of information on it that all the other fansites seem to have missed. Luckily, I pointed it out to the big guy that everyone copies from (Serebii).

There is a small blurb saying that you will be able to download more special trainers to battle, so this could mean the trainers we see are special trainers (and the tournament is normally fought against regular trainers), and/or we could be seeing more trainers added to this game mode over time.

I would really want Youngster Joey with 6 F.E.A.R Rattata's in such tourney then.
