Pok�mon + Nobunaga's Ambition - Coverage Day 1

Our friend Coronis has received his copy of the new game Pok�mon + Nobunaga's Ambition and has started to feed us information about the game. Over the next few days, we will uncover and detail every part of the game as we discover all the aspects within including Pok�mon, areas, the special episodes and more. To start us off, Coronis has given some simple bits of information from his first couple of hours of playthough
There are around 199 Pok�mon and 200 different Bushous (essentially trainers) to encounter and befriend within the game
There is a Pok�dex style system which registers each of these Pok�mon and Bushou.
Once you claim the city, the areas within it open up for you to find the Pok�mon and Bushou
Passwords are locked until you have defeated the area
Each city has the ability of having up to six Bushou assigned to it. These can be changed at will
The amount of Bushou and Pok�mon you can befriend depends upon how many cities of which you are in control
Each Pok�mon can only have one possible move rather than a selection. Abilities make a return within the game with similar effects to the main games
Edit: We also have a list of the first 10 area names and will be creating Area pages shortly
Hajime Nation - (Hajime Nation) - ハジメ
Flame Nation - (Kaen Nation) - カエン
Fist Nation - (Kobushi Nation) - コブシ
Earth Nation - (Daichi Nation) - ダイチ
Plant Nation - (Aoba Nation) - アオバ
Spring Nation - (Izumi Nation) - イズミ
Pupa Nation - (Sanagi Nation) - サナギ
Tram Nation - (Shiden Nation) - シデン
Wing Nation - (Tsubasa Nation) - ツバサ
Dragon Nation - (Ryu Nation) - リュウ
Gem Nation - (Gem Nation) - ゲンム
Pointy Rock Nation - (Kigan Nation) - キガン
Poison Fang Nation - (Dokuga Nation) - ドクガ
Shadow Nation - (Yasha Nation) - ヤシャ
Edit: As you get into the game, you first get attacked by Hideyoshi's squad in the Hajime nation. Defeat them and you gain access to the nation areas where you can raise your Pok�mon in battle against wild Pok�mon. After that, you have the opportunity to go to the Flame Nation to bring the battle to Hideyoshi. Once beaten, Keiji will appear.
Edit @ 19:53: Each of the various areas within each nation can increase in level as time goes on allowing for stronger opponents to arrive. Edit @ 20;34: After obtaining the Spring, Flame & Plant nations, three more nations open up, the Fist, Tram and Pupa nations. You also learn about Nobunaga's role in leading the region
Edit @ 21:49; Once you have defeated the Fist, Tram and Pupa nations, you unlock the Earth Nation and the Gem Nation
Edit @ 22:35: Created a preliminary Area Listing which will be continually updated over the next few days
Edit @ 00:43: Defeating either Gem Nation or Earth Nation will get you both nations and both trainers Kenshin and Shingen. This then unlocks four new areas; Wing Nation, PointyRock Nation, Poison Fang Nation and Shadow Nation. There is a tree in some areas that boosts up the power of your Bushou
We'll bring more as the days progress and I get my own copy this weekend so keep checking back

Pok�mon - Kyurem VS The Sacred Swordsman Keldeo & Meloetta's Sparkling Rectial

The official site has updated with some further details of the movie. It updated with a basic plotline of both the movie, and the Meloetta short
For the movie: Ash and Co. head toward Rooshan/Roushan. While on a train passing through the mountains, Ash spots an injured Pokemon he's never seen before, collapsed. This is the phantom Pokemon, Keldeo who is said to be the successor to Cobalion and Co., the masters of the Sacred Sword who protect the world. At that moment, Kyurem appears and begins attacking, changing into Black Kyurem & White Kyurem in doing so. This blocks Ash & co's path to Keldeo. Ash and co. just manage to escape from Kyurem's pursuit, by the skin of their teeth. The battle rages between Kyurem, chasing Keldeo, and the train and hot-air balloon in the sky. Can Keldeo, Ash and co. overcome this danger?
As for the Meloetta short: "Meloetta, the phantom Pokemon, begins its recital when the full moon rises over Whispering Stone. The elegant dance and the mysterious song resonates with Pikachu and friends...wait? What? A sudden sandstorm. The Melody Berries, that were producing music, have been blown away! The recital is in danger of finishing too soon. Pikachu, friends! Go find those Melody Berries!."
A new trailer was also added on the official site, with screencaps being made and added to the section
