Pokémon Sunday Reveal In-Game Footage From Pokémon Black And Pokémon White

Pokémon Sunday, a TV show in Japan, has followed up the Pokémon Black And Pokémon White story from the CoroCoro Magazine, again in Japan, by revealing in-game action of Zoroark and the new Starters.

The first video shows of Zoroarks ability, Illusion, and the way to capture it is to weaken it and wait for it to show its true form. You can trade over the shiny Entei, Suicune, or Raikou from the the Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark movie ticket preorders, Japan only at present, to battle a Level 25 Zoroark. The Second video shows the new starter Pokémon fighting each other and also shows off Hiun City, revealing that people talk to you as you walk past them and the new viewing angle. People also appear to move out of your way and appear more animated in the game world.

Both videos reveal the new battle movements. The videos show that both Pokémon on screen move around, and the camera focuses on your Pokémon as he makes an attack. the backgrounds also appear to change depending on the type of move you use, Razor Leaf makes the background go green for example. There appear to be different movements for doing an attack, receiving an attack, and doing nothing on the screen.


Zoroark Capture.

The video shows Kevin creating his own Racer and what he looked for in making a track. This track can be downloaded when ModNation Racers is released by searching for the PSN ID: ArtistSpotlight1.

Like all Kevin Butler Adverts, Jack Tretton makes an appearance somewhere, and at the end of the advert, Kevin Butler teases his next advert could be Gran Turismo 5.

What Have You Played This Week?

I played a fair bit this week, unfortunately not finishing any of them. It was a fairly busy week but I still hope to finish IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey so I can send that back to Swapgame and get something new in return.

Football Manager 10 – PC – I have had issues with my Annan save since the 10.3 update game out...and it finally crashed. I've started a new game with San Marino, the club not the country.

Rocket Knight – Demo - PS3 – I've never played Rocket Knight game before so I was interested in giving this a go. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to buy the game out right, but I gave the demo a go. The demo is a good size, letting you play a few stages which, themselves, provide a variety of different gameplay mechanics. The graphics look good and stylised, the controls are simple and responsive. The demo is well worth a try and it does feel like a 16Bit style platformer which is very refreshing.

IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey – PS3 – i've nearly finished the campaign mode, but still have plenty of single missions to work through. As you progress in the game, it becomes clear how each of the planes handle differently and it can keep you on your toes. The campaign mode is somewhat varied and it doesn't get dull as each part of the campaign mode is short. Still found no one online, but not totally disappointed. I'll finish the campaign mode, but not sure if i'm going to work my way through all the missions.

Halo Reach – Beta – Xbox 360 – i've played alittle more. Still would prefer to play the single player, but this will do until then.


Bookworm Adventures – PC – still playing this now and then. Its a good little time waster.

what have you been playing this week? feel free to add your weeks gaming selection in the comments, or you can comment on the game i played this week.
