Not that we can promise you that you'll actually like them.

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

Various Japanese forums have leaked the following high-quality pictures of the upcoming CoroCoro magazine, which has lived up to it's promise of revealing more about the new Pokémon Black and White games.

In this scan, we find ourselves with four new Pokémon and the Professor of the Black and White Region, her name believed to be Dr. Araragi (アララギ博士 ).

The handsome fellow in the top left, yes that is sarcasm there, happens to be currently known as Gear (ギアル). It is the Gear Pokémon, is a pure Steel-type. It is 0.3m, 21.0kg and has the abilities Plus & Minus. It has a new attach called Gear Saucer (ギアソーサー) which attacks multiple times. What this really means remains to be seen.

The shy little powerpuff reject in the top right corner, or also being attributed as the pig like Pokémon, is called Munna(ムンナ). It is the Dream Eater Pokémon and is Psychic-type. It is 0.6m tall and 23.3kg. It has the abilities Forewarn & Synchronise. It has an attack called Telekinesis (テレキネシス) which makes the opponent float in the air. How delightful!

The Pokébird, creator of the Pokédoodoo that is currently ruining my car, is called Mamepato (マメパト). It is the Baby Pigeon Pokémon. is Normal-Flying type. It is 0.3m and 2.1kg. It has the Super Luck ability or a new ability called Pigeon Heart (はとむね) which seems to prevent its Defense stat from lowering. Indeed.

And last, and probably least, is this handsome little fellow in the bottom right, who is taking a break from outsmarting Tom every day, is a Mouse Pokémon said to be called Chiramii (チラーミィ). It is Normal-type, the Chinchilla Pokémon. It is 0.4m tall, 5.8kg. It's abilities are Cute Charm & Technician. It has a move called Sweep Slap (スイープビンタ) which attacks several times consecutively. No doubt it'll end up being one of those Pokémon far too cute for it's own good.

Well, well, well, what do we have here? The Firey Ape, not that they've done the Fire Monkey before at all, is called Hihidaruma (ヒヒダルマ). It is the Flaming Pokémon, is Fire-type. It is 1.3m and 92.9kg. It has a new ability called Encourage (ちからづく). Looks like it's just as angry as I am with seeing these designs.

The lovely, doesn't have a face like you've stuck something up it's bum, horse happens to be Shimama (シママ). It is the Charged Pokémon, is Electric-type. It is 0.8m and 29.8kg. Its abilities are LightningRod & Motor Drive. It has a new attack called Wild Bolt (ワイルドボルト) which hurts both Shimama and the Pokémon.

This young croc at the bottom, who blatantly would have gotten a better deal at Specsavers, is Meguroko (メグロコ). It is the Desert Crocodile Pokémon, is Ground-type & Dark-type. It is 0.7m and 15.2kg. Its abilities are Intimidate & Earthquake Spiral (じしんかじょう) which raises its attack when the opponent is Knocked Out. That ability sounds too cool to be true, no doubt Gamefreak will just hinder it's power by letting it have really awful stats.

Of course, we have some further semi-interesting tidbits that seem to have found their ways into the backs of our minds...

• Reshiram is Dragon/Fire while Zekrom is Dragon/Electric. Unfortunately neither know Transform, which might allow them both to look a little less awful. They have two new abilities: Turbo Blaze and Terra Voltage respectively.
• You'll need to transfer your special event Celebi over to Black/White to get yourself a Zorua in a special in-game Zorua event. Celebi apparently follows you around during this event. Probably trying to finally return that damn GS Ball back to you.
• The Professor is like, a female!
• There's some kind of new feature called the C Cog, which allows you to battle with various different connection capabilities. Whatever that may mean.
• You can now enter Random Match mode when battling online - whereby you enter a random battle against anyone else, anywhere in the world, who is also currently using the feature. How unspeakably thrilling.

All the new mon information can as always, be found in the Preview Dex.

With this, we give thanks to Lugiafanatic on the forums for the part he played, along with delivering us this delightful image that we'll finish the report on, and for giving us the descriptions. So if they're wrong, you know who to hunt down and hurt. Not that we'd let you do that.. =]

Everybody say 'Awwww'
