OMGOMGOMG!!!!!

I actually died when I saw this!! Cheren and Bianca look so awesome!!

EDIT: Has anyone else noticed that Bianca's wearing Cheren's glasses??

She's not, though.

She clearly is. They have the exact same design.

They are not the same.

Also, where the heck did Hilbert run off to? I wonder if Cheren and Bianca will even acknowledge him. After all, they are childhood friends, so it'd be weird to have them ignore the fact that he went missing.

There's still pages of Coro Coro that have yet to be posted, and the leaker did say that Hilbert and Hilda were featured in this month's issue.

They definitely need to leak the rest. I want to know where "I" am.

When was it confirmed that Alder is no longer the champion?
He's referred to as "the champion from BW". That can be taken many ways, but literally it means he's no longer champion. And it would make sense if he isn't, he wanted to resign in BW, and every characters ambitions/goals have been fulfilled, so its logical if his resignation did happen.

The same crest for the tourney is seen with Achroma's appearance. I full and well believe this thing will be wholly important in-game.
We'll have to wait and see. Either way though, GameFreak didn't see it to be important enough to justify redesigning and remaking sprites for 36 different characters.
Well it does make sense in some context that those sprites also have to be animated past the 3 animation frames of Pt/HGSS.

Whoa, really? Is this confirmed or is he just pulling our legs?

I'm still a bit annoyed that the older gym leaders are using the same exact designs they had in previous games. I mean, didn't they age at all? Also, where the heck did Hilbert run off to? I wonder if Cheren and Bianca will even acknowledge him. After all, they are childhood friends, so it'd be weird to have them ignore the fact that he went missing.

There's still a chance that they were just reusing the artwork that they are already widely recognized by. Also, it's not like they are main characters, so it doesn't seem extremely necessary to give them new artwork. The in game sprites might have a different look, though.

So, a lot of the World Tournament trainers are event only?

Someone asked the leaker about Hilbert and Hilda (bwの主人公) here, and he did confirm that they had new artwork.

Not sure about that, if anything, they will end up like Red, reduced to staying on top of a mountain the whole time, and then getting a "........" message when you talk to them, keeping them as silent protagonists.

Where did you get that information, that the world tournament is yet ANOTHER pointless distribution event.

What makes you so certain of this?

I don't think Hilbert/Hilda deserve the Red treatment. It wouldn't hurt to give them a canon personality, seeing as their roles in B/W are too important to simply reduce them to a lame cameo battle with a team of over-leveled Pokemon.

I would love to see them give you a heartwarming speech, then fly off on their dragon to somewhere else a couple of different times in the story.

Serebii updated with it today, even stating that some of the trainers we've already had confirmed are event-only.

On the plus side, if these are event-only and the data aren't in the game, essentially handling like DLC (musicals and C-Gear skins are essentially that), then it may explain the use of really outdated art work. They simply haven't finished with their designs yet, and will release them when the trainers are up for download (obviously, with the images shown as beta). Hopefully, this isn't just wishful speculation as I can't see any logical reason that they'd make these guys released through distribution methods.

Except that the sprite shown for Steven was entirely new. Unless they're working on the characters that don't have DS-era sprites first (See: Hoenn characters).

I hope Hilbert and Hilda are somewhere in BW2, they're my favorite protagonists!

It would be weird if they weren't in the sequels.

We've seen multiple beta sprites shown in the magazine in the past. Obviously the sprite for Steven is new since they can't use GBA sprites. We know some of these trainers are going to default, and it may be more understandable for an adult like Steven to not get any visible changes. However, we can't say the same for every character, especially when we don't know who will be given out through download.

Oh please, dont make the most awesome event to happen in the game be download only. That would pretty much ruin it. And Dawn returning? the horror of seeing piplup and oshawatt together...i dont know if its worth it.

I can agree, there are already so many things that are event only, now they're just taking it too far here, making Zorua and Zoroark event only in BW1 was going a bit far since they are not legendaries (forcing me to use Bisharp as my teams dark type instead), luckily, there is signs that they will be in-game obtainable in BW2 (and finally get to use them in my team).

To be fair, download and event only content (known as DLC) has affected pretty much the entire VG industry, Pokemon is just one series that abuses the DLC aspect to no end, at least Nintendo doesn't charge money for putting event content in our games, like Capcom has to their games, charging people for downloading DLC into their games.
