Pokémon - New Pokémon?
Following the surprise appearance of what may be a new Pokémon and/or form, more people have been able to see the movie, Hoopa & The Clash of Ages and due to this, thanks to another friend of mine, we have a far more accurate sketch of it now which differs slightly from the original ones we had yesterday. It includes elements that were lost previously on it including a red stomach. Of course, there is still likely to be some discrepencies between the sketch and the actual design but this is a close approximation. Also, the massive Pokémon shown in CoroCoro that's also in the trailer has pulsating hexagons in the trailer around its body. It's not currently known when these Pokémon/forms will be completely revealed with official art and screenshots, but when it is, we'll post it here as soon as it comes.

Pokémon - New Pokémon?
Today in Japan, the latest Pokémon movie, Hoopa & The Clash of Ages, opened and within it, according to our envoy and close friend to the site, Gin who just saw the movie, there was something new appearing in it.

This was then followed by the large new Pokémon silhouette revealed on July 12th. Gin has kindly provided a few possible sketches of this Pokémon, but it is likely to differ greatly.

Satoru Iwata
It is with a heavy heart that today we learned that Nintendo President, Satoru Iwata, unfortunately passed away on July 11th. The man's legacy lives through the Pokémon series as he was responsible for more than just supporting Pokémon, but he helped compress Gold & Silver to allow for the Kanto region to be included and he ported & recoded the battle engine over to Pokémon Stadium himself within a week. He will be sorely missed.
