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.
