The 2012 Japanese Arts and Hobby expo was held in Tokyo this past weekend, and some of the biggest toy manufacturers and entertainment and media companies in Japan were there to show case their upcoming products.

Thanks to AAPB, we have the following translations:

Big Scoop!

Mysterious Pokemon will be introduced in the next issue

Is it related to a Pokemon from Unova?

Only time will tell. Please read our next issue to find out!

The above text suggest that it is related to a Pokemon from Unova? It’s too early for Genesect to be revealed so it’s most likely Meloetta’s other form. But who knows?

April 4th isn’t too far away so the scans could leak any day now! Who do you think the “Mysterious Pokemon” will be?

Thanks to AAPB for the translations and 2ch image board for the scan

Pokemon black 2 and white 2 for preorder at EB Games!

I saw this preorder case for Pokemon black and white version 2 today at the EB Games at the Werribee plaza but none of the staff knew anything about it, they don’t play Pokemon games. What kind of games store staff don’t play Pokemon? They said they have received 3 preorders for it so far though.

A new sales flyer has been distributed by the Pokemon Center stores in Japan and has revealed the first merchandise of Black Kyurem and White Kyurem!

These goodies will go on sale on April 14th at various Pokemon Center store locations across Japan.

Below is a list of items that will be available for purchase:

1) Clear file
2) Handkerchief? (to be confirmed)
3) Sticker sheet
4) Gummi cup
5) T-shirt

Too bad there aren’t any figures and plushies in this set but we can expect a ton of merchandise of these two closer to the launch of the games and the movie.

An image of the upcoming My Pokemon Collection plushies was released a few weeks ago with two hidden Pokemon. The two hidden Pokemon will most likely be revealed to be Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. The two MPC movie edition sets will go on sale in July and August.

Upcoming My Pokemon Collection plushies

Finally, a full wall-sized poster of Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 has been put up for display at the Pokemon Center store in Tokyo. The following texts are written on the poster: “Sparkling Blue” and “Burning Red”

Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition - Coverage Day 1


Our friend Coronis has received his copy of the new game Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition and has started to feed us information about the game. Over the next few days, we will uncover and detail every part of the game as we discover all the aspects within including Pokémon, areas, the special episodes and more. To start us off, Coronis has given some simple bits of information from his first couple of hours of playthough
There are around 199 Pokémon and 200 different Bushous (essentially trainers) to encounter and befriend within the game
There is a Pokédex style system which registers each of these Pokémon and Bushou.
Once you claim the city, the areas within it open up for you to find the Pokémon and Bushou
Passwords are locked until you have defeated the game's narrative
Each city has the ability of having up to six Bushou assigned to it. These can be changed at will
The amount of Bushou and Pokémon you can befriend depends upon how many cities of which you are in control
