Differences in Pokémon Black and White versions revealed

Monday, July 12, 2010

On Sunday leaked scans of an August edition of CoroCoro Magazine have hit the interwebs through PokéBeach.com detailing the new Pokémon Black and White games. To cut to the chase, the big difference between Black and White versions will be different areas included in each game.

There will definitely be a White Forest in one version and a Black City in the other. I would guess that the White Forest is in the White version and the Black City is in the Black Version, although I would be wrong if they turn out to be evil temples for the opposite color.

Also included in the leaked scans was information on the new strategic 3v3 battles. The set up of your Pokémon will depend on the order in which they get attacked by the other team. It will be based on who is in the middle and in front of your party.

Rankurusu will have an all new attacked, Magic Room, which will negate all of the effects of the items, held by both your own Pokémon and your opponents Pokémon.

There was also a mention of the new Passing By feature which allows players to connect to other players nearby and help each other out on their journeys.
