Pok�Park 2 Release Date

A new commerical for Pok�Park 2: Beyond the World just aired in Japan. This commerical showed some new footage, which will be capped later, and also revealed the Japanese release date for the game. This game is to be released in Japan on November 12th 2011. We'll cover this game in full detail upon its release.
Various bits of information have also been revealed with thanks to Sabonea Masukippa for translation. In the game, Pikachu and Piplup arrive in Pok�Park and soon learn about the special Wish Park from Musharna and you play in both the Pok�Park and the Wish Park by speaking to Krokorok.
An area in Pok�Park is the Port Area, which is separted into Port Town, where many Pok�mon dwell, and a beach area which houses Pok�mon such as Maractus, Frillish and Alomomola. Samurott is the Area Master.
Like before, you befriend Pok�mon by battling or doing various quests for them including fetching items. Meowth will appear in places and will trade you various items
Also like before, there are Pok�mon who help train you. Audino increases your strength, Blitzle helps you be faster and Raichu helps Pikachu power up its specific moves.
Pikachu is the more wellrounded battler and attacks with Thunderbolt and Iron Tail. Oshawott is a swimmer, which other Pok�mon can't do and battles with Water Gun and Razor Shell. Snivy can jump to reach places others can't and knows Leaf Storm and Leaf Tornado. Tepig is the strongest Pok�mon and knows Flamethrower and Heat Crash.
Sometimes, when in battle, various Pok�mon you have befriended will come and aid you in the battle, such as seen with Fraxure in battle with Druddigon. This becomes more common the more friends you make. This makes befriending the Pok�mon in the areas even more useful.
There are some timed areas where you have to defeat a certain amount of enemies to reach a goal.
Two attractions are known; Gorgeous Dancing with Lopunny which is a rhythmn based game where you need to press buttons to do the dances in time. In Slash Fight, you have to knock Pok�mon away and get to the middle of the area. Accidentally hitting bombs sends you backwards
