The early scans of CoroCoro have started to appear, and with them, more information are brought up.

It is confirmed that once again, PokéTransfer will be usable in Black 2 and White 2, allowing you to transfer your Pokémon from all Gen IV games.
There is an item called Reflecting Mirror, that once held by Landorus, Tornadus or Thundurus, will change their form from Sacred Beast form to Incarnation form.
Reflecting Mirror can be obtained by taking Landorus that is captured in Dream Radar to a specific area.
The three genies in the Sacred Beast form can only be obtained from the Dream Radar.
Said trio will be having different abilities in their new forms; Tornadus has Regenerator; Thundurus has Volt Absorb; Landorus has Intimidate.
There is a town called Sangi Town, which is apparently the second town you visit in your journey.
Taking your Keldeo, after it has learned Sacred Sword, to a forest next to Sangi Town, along with Terrakion, Virizion and Cobalion, will change Keldeo to its Resolution Form.
An image showing Keldeo's full body is provided.
A new feature called the Fes missions, in which you do missions with your friends , is available in the game. It seems there are as many as 100 different missions. You receive medals when you complete them.
There is an Fes mission you receive in Castelia City if you take Meloetta to a café. This mission is about collecting berries around Unova.
Another Fes mission is called 'Search for Audino.'
Black Kyurem and White Kyurem will have the abilities of Zekrom and Reshiram respectively: Teravolt and Turboblaze.
The first WiFi distribution is a Piplup with the move, Sing. It will be distributed from 20 of July till 9 of August.
Items can be obtained from Dream Radar.
Porygon is available in the Dream Radar.
There are items called Dream Orbs that can be used to upgrade your capture device.
Pokémon can be traded from Black and White to Black 2 and White 2 after receiving your C-Gear.
Tachiwaki City in the Japanese version of the games will be called Virbank City in the English games.
Elesa has a Flaffy in her team, and her gym resembles a fashion show.
Cities from Black and White have had a complete change in the upcoming games.
White Forest and Black City are back.
A location exclusive is a cave. In one game, it is an aqua cave, while in another, magma cave.
Some version exclusive Pokémon were confirmed: Black 2 will have Magby/Magmar/Magmortar and Buneary/Lopunny; White 2 will have Elekid/Elektabuzz/Electivire and Skitty/Delcatty.
A new item, called Gambare A Lunch can be bought from the Join Avenue. This item, once held by a Pokémon, increases the Hit Point base points obtained as EVs.

I wonder if the part about the Genie trio is true since if it was exclusive to the 3DS it would encourage more people to buy it.

It is quite contradicting on their part. The only difference I can see though is that without Dream Radar, your genie cannot hold any other item except for this specialised one, if you want it in its Sacred Beast Form. However, the ones caught in the Dream Radar shall be able to hold any item while sustaining their form.

With some thought this could have easily been made up. But it does all sound like something Nintendo would do with there games. So I am believing it.

As I have said, the information is not fully confirmed yet, since no scans were provided. But the source of this information provided details last month, which turned out to be true after all, therefore, there is a very high possibility that these details are 100% true.

UPDATE: New information was added.

The Spirit of Time · #6 June 12, 2012, 11:44:36 PM

The information is now confirmed. More details are added. Scans are now provided.

Magmaster12 · #7 June 13, 2012, 01:59:11 AM

So Magby is going to be a version exclusive to Black 2, good thing I was already planning on getting it.

Keldeo's new forme is just plain lazy, like they realized last minute they needed more formes and put this together in 5 minutes.

Elesa uses Flaffy, that I think is pretty cool.

Aqua and Magma Cave probably separately contain Groundon and Kyogre, take that RSE hopefuls!

I was thinking of it and it occurred to me that maybe we should not look at the Resolution Form as a new form of Keldeo. When Black & White were firstly released, we were told that Keldeo is more or less a youngster of the three musketeers. When I look at this new form, I imagine that this is Keldeo after he grew up and has become a master of the Sacred Sword, like the other musketeers, hence the reason he should learn Sacred Sword for him to change form.

As for the Aqua and Magma caves, I am expecting them to be a reference to the new remakes. In Platinum, Jasmine, the Steel gym leader of Johto appeared and talked about her region. The legends of Johto were the only ones not to be caught, and so many speculated the release of HeartGold and SoulSilver. I really hope this is the same.

Everytime you post something new I get even more excite. I am really looking forward to this new kind of Pokemon. But the only thing weird (for me) is that all this newness is coming from a sequel. If they're going to be venturing so far from there tradition, they should save it for a new region and generation. And I wonder if the Missions will ever have anything to do with the story. Or if they are all around the region or the appear as you go through on your journey.

I also am of the same opinion. The longer hair and more developed horn both lend to the idea that it is Keldeo after having strengthened itself and "grown up", as opposed to an "alternate" form, this seems to be the superior. And in that sense, I'm very pleased with it. It's also quite interesting, aesthetically.

This game is honestly getting better and better.

As for GameFreak, this adds more pressure to them in the future, since the next games will have to surpass these if they want a positive result from the fan base. However, the fans should be happy about it, as they should expect even better mechanics and innovations in the future.

Yes they will have have to make something AMAZING to beat this. But we still haven't got the game, we don't ACTUALLY know how great it is. That makes me think (since they are treated differently than the others) if it is maybe the last game like this. But that is hard to think of because they still have remakes to do.

Now that I am looking so far into the future, I think when they do make the remake of it (which will be in like 16 years) if it will be the usual or Black/White3. Lol, it won't.

But seriously it will be hard to beat. And I wonder if they will stick to starting in a small village or a big city like in this version.

Why do I keep looking so far into the future? This is a very different game. *sigh* I wear myself down.

I can see that the new item will be trolling PO for a while <.<

The new item is a huge addition to EV training. It speeds it up by miles. What competitive battlers require right now is a modification to the battling system on WiFi. If it happens, and I hope it does, then PO will lose many of its users.

teamplasma · #17 June 14, 2012, 07:01:47 AM

Lol, I read it wrong the first time. I read something like based on he EVs the HP goes up while holding it. or something. I don't know what I am reading! I apologize. But now that I reread it I think you are right. They will have a hard time with it.

This new item acts in a similar manner to the Power Band and Bracelet introduced in Gen IV. It increases the EVs of HP obtained while battling.
