Wow. They don't waste time do they. They've only just released the other one in Australia and they're already back onto another one. Hopefully its set i a new region, with new pokemon. Even better would be two regions in one, like gold/silver, but i guess if they can make it into two games, they get more money, so i doubt that'll happen. Although, They did remake G/S with two regions, so there's always hope.
I found a topic that says that:
in Pokemon Black and White "every aspect [of the IP] will be reborn innovatively".
Whats the IP?
Also, they've got at least one new pokemon legendary so far, called Zoroark a monster fox pokemon.....wonder whether he'll look exactly like a giant fox
Can't wait till the 15th when they release more info..

IP = Intellectual Property.
I'll wait for more info before getting pumped up about this. The only thing I can say is this: I hope they include more than 1 region ALA HeartGold and SoulSilver.

I'm not sure why I got excited when reading this. I haven't played Pokemon in years nor do I own a DS. I guess the old Pokemon fanatic in me resurfaced for a second.

Stop stealing my name ideas and Pokemon designs, gawd Nintendo.
Anyways, I'm glad they finally moved away from the Red Spectrum/Blue Spectrum names. I just hope they don't change too much with the games, because 4th gen has so far been my favorite engine in the series, finally overtaking my old favorite 2nd gen one.
Also, I hope they have no more 5 legendaries and maybe one more as the extra event-only one, because I'd like to see some more normal Pokemon again (the only good normal ones from the Sinnoh dex were like, the Glameow and Stunky lines, Garchomp, Lucario, sometimes Floatzel, and Toxicroak. I hated Shellos/Gastrodon >.>). Sinnoh added 12-13 Legends, most of which were Mewtwo counters (Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Darkrai, Arceus) and added 28 (pre)evolutions to old Pokemon, not really adding enough new lines. Oh well, I love all the evolutions and I hope there are a few more in these games (Farfetch'd? Delibird? Ninetails? Come on Game Freak, those guys need better stats badly )
I hope Zoroark is readily available because I think I'm going to have one on my first team in the games.

Iv known about these games for a while (not the name but i knew they where gona be announced this weekend) because fo nintendo official mag website
I also just realized that if 173+ Pokemon were added, I'm pretty sure I know what number the Black Version Legendary will be.

That new character looks like one of the fake ones you can find on DevianArt.

The new Pokemon Center, appears to have a Mart installed
Hidden/Spoiler:
The first city, appears to have a shadow cast over it. Might be from something passing or some sort of block you'll have to pass with an HM.
Hidden/Spoiler:
Starting Town and a bridge with cars on it.
Hidden/Spoiler:
Cave
Hidden/Spoiler:
Comparison of the 4th gen and 5th Battle Screens
Hidden/Spoiler:
Close-up of the 5th Gen Battle Screen. Zoroark appears to be using Dark Pulse.
Hidden/Spoiler:
So, now we know the appearance of both the male and female trainers (once again, the female has a super-weird hairstyle), we know that the game has a lot more 3D-effects than D/P/Pt/HG/SS combined, there will once again be a starting town and a first city that may or may not have a Gym, and we now know that the camera in battle appears to be dynamic, as I'm pretty sure they're keeping the HP bars on the top screen. However, remember that these are just beta shots and things are most likely going to change. Giratina's Platinum sprite changed weeks before release, so don't count on the Zoroa (Actual spelling by the way, Zorua is a mistranslation) and Zoroark sprites looking like that when the games are relased.
Edit: I can also see the Wi-Fi Globe in the top right corner of the center, so it appears that the two friend corners from 4th gen might have combined into one area.

Wow, I haven't touched or paid attention to anything Pokemon-related since the Crystal version on Gameboy Color, so all of that looks completely foreign to me. I suppose it still has the same basic visual style, but the 3D just looks weird (not in a bad way).

I liek mah 32-bit environments, thankyoo.
Really, I'm excited, but one thing that I always loved about pokemon games was the excellent dot work that they did before using 3D in DPt. And if they make a new evolution for any pokemon, please, please make more Eeveelutions, the only one I never liked was Vaporeon.

I like all of the Eevees except Flareon. The thing needs a few physical moves, because as of right now, Eevee would be a better choice for battle.
As for new ones, I would really only want a Flying or Ground, seeing as something like Bug would be weird and there are already enough Dragon types.
Also, I'd like to see some new type combos this generation. Fire/Psychic would work well, as would Dark/Steel (Mawile evolution?). Maybe Water/Fire?

This. I personally think that a Flying/Fighting would be epic, or Dark/Psychic. Although, if they make more Ghost/Darks, I will be... Disappointed.
