More details about the game’s setting and characters were disclosed by Coro Coro Comics. You can play both a sporty-looking male or female character, the game takes place in new towns and locales and much more. Hit the jump to read about it.
Via Andriasang:
Coro Coro Comics has a first look at the new cast, including new male and female characters. As with Black & White, you can select between male and female characters. Both have a sporty look. The female lead has Princess Leia hair bunches.
Joining the two new leads are a new set of friends. Coro Coro introduces Rival, the main character’s childhood friend (I’m not sure if “Rival” is actually his name). Also introduced is Akuroma, a mysterious man who appears to be a researcher who’s conducting research into the strengths of Pokemon.
Two gym leaders are introduced in the magazine: Homika and Shizui. Homika is good with poison type Pokemon. Shizui is good with water type. As a bit of omake info, Coro Coro reveals that Homika will appear in the June 14 episode of the Black & White anime.
The game also has a new location. While it’s still set in Isshu Region, you start off from the new town of Hiougi City, which is located in the South of Isshu. Facilities introduced in the magazine include your house, a viewing area that offers full views of the city, and a Pokemon Center and trainer’s school. You can also expect to see new facilities.
The game will be out in Japan this summer for the Nintendo DS.
