Yay~ New PCs (always good for sequels) and new towns. Can't say much about losing a few other towns to the ice though... Nacrene, too? Now where will I get my fossils revived?
I wonder if we'll be able to see Black City / White Forest at all in the game, or an equivalent to it at least. All this ice business makes me feel really cold. I just hope we never have to see Juniper again. She's okay, but my least favourite professor. As for the new rival, seems cool, and I'm glad to (hopefully) know there's only one this time, so it should be less tedioous then BW where I fight Bel/Bianca and THEN Cheren about a second later.

it seems to me that the yellow thing the female character wears is shorts, not a skirt.

I'm thinking the same thing, actually. Aren't skirts that are actually skirts called "skorts" or the like?

Gosh, I want to play as the rival ! His character design is amazing ! Best rival in ages. Hopefully his personality will be fleshed out at least as much as Cheren's.
So, being unable to play as the rival, this will be the very first time I'll choose the female main character instead of the male. Not only her design is gorgeous (I support you FairyRed, to cover her legs for a change is a very good choice) but the male character's head is so messed up. His hair is a bit too weird for me to handle.

Wow, that's an unusual association for Poison, but I'm just glad that the only type to not get doubles finally returned. I noticed her guitar is designed like Scolipede... I was thinking of getting this game regardless of if it was just a retread with new features anyway, but I think this effectively kills any argument anyone would have over that, as this is indeed a different story. I look forward to doing this, but since I've never done it before, I'm at a loss for what kind of team I'll use since it would seem pointless to use the same team I did before.

I can't wait to be honest still. Somethings are a bit upsetting though. Like how they ruined Unova and made it so we can't get to some of the usual places. Sadly, I guess there will be no Striaton City Gym anymore :( Maybe we have to melt the glacier and then we can go to those places. I'm not a fan of Homika, but Shizui seems cool. I like the rival's design, but his hair reminds me of the Digimon Emperor from season 2 of Digimon. I like the male protagonist, except what is up with those shorts he's wearing? and it looks like he's wearing leggings! The female, lets just say I'm glad I'm not a girl so I don't have to play with her, definitely not a fan of her, but she's not that bad.

I'm not a fan of non-Unova Pokemon being in the Unova dex though. I thought that was the whole point of Unova, no old Pokemon until later! Now they are breaking their own thing.. Unless they have some excuse like a cargo ship full of Pokemon from other regions ran ashore and the Pokemon escaped into the wild. I'm also kind of mad they seem to be replacing Juniper. I love Juniper! She's my favorite professor.

I'm still really excited!

This is the cutest female MC ever
I shall call her Usagi because
In the name of the moon, she will punish you!

Judging by the hair, I thought she had a Princess Leia thing going on there. So her shaggy-haired counterpart would be Chewie, I guess. :/

I'm guessing There are two new towns and at least on new route to the southwest. should read ...one new route to the southwest, and then Liberty Garden is now shown of the official artwork must be ...off the official artwork.

Akuroma is Cheren. Look at the resemblance.

You mean the fact they both wear glasses? That's the only resemblance.

And again, two years. And his picture is in the article this thread is linked to >_>

EDIT: Also regarding this part of the article:
There have been many changes to the Unova region. There appears to be an encroaching ice sheet or glacier
Is there actually confirmation of this apart from the image? @sunyshore proposes they're simply hiding parts of the region and the ice is functioning much the same way as the clouds did in BW's release. I'm guessing if that's true, they're simply hiding it to not give away any spoilers for the future corocoro article.

Indeed, Cheren doesn't go from 16ish to 30-something in 2 years. o_o; New professor isn't cute like Cheren at all, either. HES SO CREEPY SERIOUSLY GOD.

One thing's certain: None of us expected half of Unova frozen over! It is most likely Kyurem who did this. Remember the myth if someone ever approaches the Giant Chasm, the place where Kyurem is in Black and White 1, a disaster will happen?

Is it just me, or does the water gym leader look somewhat like Deejay from Street Fighter? They're both black, shirtless, and wear pants. The few difference is that he's wearing sandals and does not have a Cheshire Cat smile. Is it also okay if we could nickname the female "Leia" for now?

Princess Leia+Sailor Moon +Hilda =female protagonist
At least her legs are covered this time.
Male protaginist's hair is a bird's nest. And those leggings. What's up with that?
I like the female more so I guess I'm choosing her just like I did with Diamond.
I don't quite the understand why they thought it was a good idea to cover over half of Unova in ice. The region looks so small now. Hoping you can explore the cities under the ice and battle gym leaders. It looks like its not completely frozen but just a dome like thing. And why is only half of Icirrus City covered up? I'm hoping the gym is accessible otherwise there's only 7 gyms.

But... but... that's my only complaint about Leia. ;_;

Oh well, at least she could be a decent rep for a female trainer and BW2 or a possible DLC costume for Hilda for SSB4.

Seems like I'll need to change my BW2 team again now that older gen Pokemon are back (depending if any of my favorites made the cut).

Yes but some people like to ignore the obvious. It's called the emperors new clothes complex, where people see something obvious and either dont ackowledge it at all, or pretend its not there. Giant ice sheet on the map, and what do some on here say, oh, its not really there, they're just hiding stuff. WHen they hide stuff in the past, they used a cloud, why would they now cover 1/3rd of region in ice, that we have already seen, it not like they hiding changes as they revealed many changes already. Also 2 new towns with 2 new leaders, possibly to replace the 2 leaders covered in ice?

Also the fact the game is based on ice pokemon, who from the movie seems to be first evil pokemon ever from what we see, and now 1/3rd of region is covered in ice, why people not see the obvious link?

I really hope that's not the case. The ice sheet is such an awesome concept that it would be a huge disappointment if this turned out to be true. It makes so much sense as well, coming from the north east where the Giant Chasm is located. Surely GF would realize that it certainly looks like a sheet of ice coming from the Giant Chasm and would have used clouds if that is what it is supposed to be. If they are using it as clouds, they must certainly be aware of what it appears to be and are just trolling.

I asked for speculation based on what's on the text in the image. Right now, the most conservative guess that makes the least amount of assumptions is that they're covering up the rest of the region because there's likely going to be changes they want to cover next issue. Clouds were used last game because that was the theme. Ice is used now because that's the theme of the mascot. Saying its real makes a grand assumption about the plot, and making accusations of others doesn't help your point.

You can speculate all you want, but that's not what I asked about. I'm asking someone who translated the leaked pages to confirm whether it was an assumption made from the picture, or outright stated--otherwise I'm sticking with a conservative assumption. There are many reasons gyms can be replaced, being frozen in ice isn't the only one, and given that being destroyed in a volcano didn't stop Blaine, ice doesn't really seem like a big deal to me. If the Striaton brothers were the Shadow Triad, that's one. Lenora's also an archaeologist, and being a gym leader kind of ties you down to a city. Obviously they'd need two new leaders just because you're starting in the opposite reason, but being frozen in ice isn't the only thing that can cause change over two years.

In short, unless you're translating what's said on those pages, you can speculate all you want but its not answering the question I had (whereas @sunyshore did translate and concluded that the map was just being obscured after translation when the initial assumption was that the region was frozen)

Is Sunnyshore a native speaker? Or has he/she just learnt it as a 2nd language? If so, is it possible he/she could be mistaken?

Also, it's not unlike Corocoro to get things wrong, they introduce new formes as new pokemon.

Makes sense really that the ice is most likely covered up areas they don't want to reveal yet. It's a fitting theme as well since Kyurem is a big plot point in the games. If that's the case, I wonder if some of the gymless cities from the firsts games recieves gyms. Also, what happened in Driftveil City for it to recieve craters around the city?!
