Pokémon Black/White Concept Art, New Details Added To Official Site
A few days ago we revealed the starter Pokémon that will appear in the upcoming fifth-gen Pokémon titles Black and White. Unfortunately the critters received a less than stellar response. Perhaps the other art and screenshots available on the games' updated official website will garner more excitement.
First off, we can now identify the starters with their proper names (names which will most likely be localized if/when we see Black and White stateside). From left to right:
Tsutaja: Grass type (classification: grass snake Pokémon), ability: Overgrow, height: 0.6m, weight: 8.1kg
Pokabu: Fire type (classification: fire pig Pokémon), ability: Blaze, height: 0.5m, weight: 9.9kg
Mijumaru: Water type (classification: sea otter Pokémon), ability Torrent, height: 0.5m, weight 5.9kg
The news section of the site shows off Zorua and its evolution into Zoroark, it's pretty cool looking. Moving on.
Here are your starter characters. Choose between male and female teens. Good thing they're wearing comfortable shoes because they'll traverse the giant landscape below.
Black and White takes place in the new 3D-centric Isshu region. Check out one of the towns you'll encounter, the booming metro area named Hiun City.
To get a closer look at the tiny screenshots sprinkled on each of the pages, check out the official website.
Excited now?
