Pokémon - Black & White - More New Pokémon
Sorry for the delay. Last night, Oha Suta revealed soime new information from a new video. Courtesy of Filb, where you'll find the video. First, the evolution of Minezumi has been revealed, called Miruhoggu (ミルホッグ). Next, a Deer Pokémon called Shikijika (シキジカ) got revealed, as did a stork Pokémon in a new feature that presumably replaces contests; Pokémon Musical. The video also indicates that seasonal areas exist within the game and confirm Team Plasma as the new Team within the games. The transfer of Pokémon is also now done through a mini-game called the PokéShifter.
We also have new details on a new mode utilised within Triple Battles where you only control one Pokémon within the middle and can rotate the middle one around at will. This is done on the attack selection menu and appears instantaneous, thus creating loads of possible strategies
In the High Link, you get missions as you know, but we have the first mission detailed to give us an idea on the missions; Item Mission - Hide an Ultra Ball in front of the Tower of Heaven on Route 7.(If you get talked to then you have to restart!). Time Limit of 180 seconds and the prize is 3 "Derudama". There is also a subway throughout Isshu called the Battle Subway
In addition to that, we have some new details on moves;
First, Mamanbou has a new move called Soak (みずびたし)
Next, Pokabu has a move called Fire Oath (ほのおのちかい)
Finally, Tsutarja has a move called Grass Oath (くさのちかい).
I have also added some new pictures to our Pre-Release Picture Page
Edit: With this information, in addition to updating the New Pokémon Page with the three new Pokémon, Ihave also edited the Battle System Changes page with detailed description of the Rotational Battles, as seen above. I have also created a page on the method to transfer Pokémon from Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold & SoulSilver to Black & White known as the PokéShifter

Pokémon Black & White - Chiramii Official Romanisation
The Japanese Trademark database has been updated with a few new trademarks for the Japanese names of the Pokémon. As always, most recently seen with Victini this weekend, the Pokémon get their Japanese names as well as an official romanisation, being the Japanese name stated in English. Usually, we just include the literal translation of the names until we get the romanisation. Well, today we have received the official romanisation for the Pokémon Chiramii (チラーミィ). It's official romanisation is Chillarmy, derived from Chinchilla and army. It is unknown whether this name will be utilised in the English versions of the game. In addition to that, we got confirmation that Munna's romanised name remains the same.

Serebii.net IV Calculator
With special thanks to our friend Arty2, we now have a massively updated IV Calculator. This updated IV Calculator adds a variety of features in order to get you the most accurate result possible. First, the calculation has been tightened up with varialbes checking for Characteristics and the details that are given within the Battle Frontier in the games. Next, is the functionality to add multiple levels of the Pokémon into the calculation to try and pinpoint the IVs more preciesely. In addition to that, you can also calculate the IVs of all of your team simultaneously for easy access. This is toggled by clicking the Single Pokémon button within the IV Calculator. There are lots of other bits of the calculator which have been fine tuned so it's definitely an even more valuable resource than it was before. Click the picture to go to the page

Pokémon Black & White
Pokémon Sunday has just started airing and showed the silhouette of the new Legendary Pokémon. This Pokémon is to be revealed later on in this episode and matches the Pokémon shown at the end of the 14th Movie Trailer. We expect more details in the next hour.
Edit: Pokémon Sunday has now revealed the rest of the details. It reveals that this Pokémon is a new Legendary Pokémon, a Phantom Pokémon in the similar manner to Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy & Shaymin in the past.
This Pokémon is called Victini (ビクティニ Literal; Bikutini).It is listed as #000 in the Isshu Dex. Its name could be interpreted as Vikutini or Viktini which would make sense based on its ears and its pose of the Victory sign, but we'll wait until we get official confirmation before we fully go either way though we do have a domain listing for Victini so we'll go with that for the time being.
In addition to that, we have received its distribution details. It will be obtained by a WiFi event giving the Liberty Ticket (リバティチケット) from September 18th 2010 to October 18th 2010.
It also aired some details on triple battles, confirming what we knew already about the mechanics but did show Chiramii knows the move You First, Gochiruzeru & Rankurusu both know PsyBeam and Munna knows Hypnosis.
Edit 2: The official site has also updated with some screenshots of this reveal. I have added them to the Pre-Release Picture page and click the picture to go to our Pokémon page for a larger image
