An anime-style trailer for the upcoming Black Version 2 and White Version 2 games has officially been released on the official Japanese Youtube channel of The Pokemon Company. The trailer features new and old characters from Black and White, including N, the new male protagonist and rival, the Shadow Triad of Team Plasma, Cheren, Bianca and Gym Leader Elesa.
 

The trailer is in a more mature style than the regular Pokemon anime and it has been speculated that it will form part of a special episode or perhaps be featured in the Black 2/White 2 games themselves. The trailer can be viewed below.

Hello PE2K, gmandiddy here giving my thoughts and ideas of latest Pokemon Best Wishes Episode: Battling the King of the Mines.

Quick Summary

Ash finally gets the opportunity to battle Clay, the ground gym leader, in order to receive the Quake Badge. After a solid start, Ash is suddenly pinned back by a very powerful Excadrill.

Last week we investigated how one of the rare and powerful Fossil Pokemon (Aerodactyl) could help you in the competitive aspect of the URPG. This week, we’ll look at how you can actually obtain one, but be warned – the prospect can be a little bit daunting.
 
Before we begin looking at the writing methods, there is one small note: Aerodactyl can be dug out from the Underground. However, the chance for this to happen is so infinitesimally tiny that it’s barely worth discussing. Feel free to throw down $2500 to try your luck, but don’t count on the Underground as your main method of obtainment. (more…)
