So much it deserves it's own article!

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

While this is really a direct follow on from yesterday's new update, we thought it might be easier to follow if we posted EVERYTHING revealed from the latest edition of CoroCoro in one update! There's a massive 20 scan images though, so do try and keep up!

Individual features: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20

Full scans: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

Scan 1 shows Gochiruzeru (ゴチルゼル), the Celestial Body Pokémon. It is Psychic-type and has the ability Frisk. It has a new attack called Magic Room (マジックルーム) which negates the effects of any Items held by the User or the Opponent for 5 turns.

Scan 2 shows Kibago (キバゴ), the Tusk Pokémon. It is Dragon-type has the abilities Mold Breaker or Rivalry. It has a new attack called Double Chop (ダブルチョップ) which attacks twice (yes, Double Chop IS new. We have every other type of Double imaginable, but not Chop).

Scan 3 shows Koromori (コロモリ), the Bat Pokémon. It is Psychic/Flying-type has the abilities Klutz or Unaware. It has a new attack called Heart Stamp (ハートスタンプ) which simply makes the Opponent Flinch.

Scan 4 shows the utterly amazing Minezumi (ミネズミ), the Lookout Pokémon (Sorry Sentret, we're replacing you). It is Normal-type has the abilities Keen Eye or Run Away. It has a new attack called You First (おさきにどうぞ) which lets the Opponent move first. Presumably some CBers can explain to me why on earth you would want to do that.

Scan 20 shows Musharna (ムシャーナ), the Trance Pokémon and the evolution of the previously revealed Munna. It is Psychic-type has the abilities Forewarn or Synchronize. Both Munna and Musharna gives off Dream Smoke, which contains the dreams of Pokémon and (god knows how) allows you to upload your game saves to the internet.

Scan 5 shows Rankurusu (ランクルス), the Amplification Pokémon. It is Psychic-type has the abilities Magic Guard or Dust Proof (ぼうじん), which prevents damage from being received by weather effects such as Sandstorm or Hail.

Scan 6 shows Wooguru (ウォーグル), the Valor Pokémon. It is (of course) Normal/Flying-type has the abilities Keen Eye or the previously revealed Encourage, which boosts the power of attacks but removes any secondary effects the moves usually have. It has a new attack called Free Fall (フリーフォール) which grabs the Opponent on one turn and drops it to the ground on the second turn. Basically what Ash's Charizard has known for years.

Scan 7, Scan 8 and Scan 9 all detail the feature we previously revealed, the Global Link. It has two modes - an online battling system, and a mode in which, bizarrely, your Pokémon appear to play together in a dream. If your Pokémon makes friends with other Pokémon in these dreams, by virtue of playing mini games, then you can bring these Pokémon back into the real world with you, such as Pokémon not normally found in Isshu. If they say so.

Scan 10 shows another feature we previously revealed, the Live Caster. Players using a DSi or 3DS will be able to have video chats with their friends, but it appears in-game characters will also be able to contact you using it. And for when you're just plain bored, you'll be able to draw on your friends faces.

Scan 11 shows another feature we previously revealed, the Pass By feature. This allows you to connect and interact with other trainers as you walk past them, although further details on how this works is still unknown.

Scan 12 and Scan 13 give us our first in-depth look into Triple Battles. We previously (at the time) exclusively revealed that Pokémon would receive different amounts of damage based on their position within the 3, and we can now expand on some of the mechanics behind Triple Battling:

• Pokémon in the middle will be able to target all 3 Opponents, but Pokémon on the ends will only be able to target the 2 closest Opponents to them - the middle Pokémon and the Pokémon directly opposite them.

• The most powerful attacks will come from the middle - say an attack hits all Pokémon in play, it will cause the most damage if used by a middle Pokémon.

• You may be able to swap the positions of Pokémon during battle, but this will of course waste a turn.

• There will be a new ability called Telepathy (テレパシー), which prevents a Pokémon from receiving damage from their team mates in Double and Triple Battles.

Scan 14 and Scan 15 show N, a main enemy in the game. He aims to seperate humans and Pokémon - effectively seperating the world into Black and White. Clever eh?

The remaining scans cover more trivial details, such as:

• Gochiruzeru and Rankurusu will both be Version Exclusive Pokémon.

• The Route numbering system will be reset, starting again at Route 1.

• All three starter Pokémon are given away by the Professor for the first time - to you and your two rivals, Belle and Cheren. Belle is very spontaneous and is going on a Pokémon adventure against her father's wishes. Cheren is very wise and trustworthy.

• Black City and White Forest are located in the same place in Isshu, rendering it unlikely that there's a way of getting both in the same game.

• Intriguingly, there will be differences in the same cities between versions.

• Another new feature is the Feeling Check that checks the compatibility of players.

• There is going to be a Wi-fi event held from 7th August-31st August on the Pokemon Daisuki Club website where you encounter an Eeveelution in a dream. This is more than likely just to get everyone used to the new system, and you will be able to transfer this Pokémon onto Black/White when they are released.

• Infra-red capabilities will allow you to have "on the spot" battles and trades, such as directly from your in-game PC!

Do check back for further updates, but the meantime, feel free to post your meaningless and annoying speculation below! For a full overview of revealed Pokémon, check out our preview Pokédex.
