This is what the public currently knows about the upcoming Generation V games.
Generation V will be released on the Nintendo DS on September 18, 2010 in Japan; the American release date is not yet known, but will probably be roughly Spring 2011. On April 8th, 2010, it was revealed that the games will be called Pokemon Black and White Versions. We don't know how many new Pokemon will be present; which older Pokemon will be present; which older Pokemon will get new evolutions or pre-evolutions; or where the region will be, although we do know that its name is the Isshu Region.
The first two of its Pokemon to be revealed were Zorua and Zoroark. Zoroark was revealed as a silhouette on the Japanese TV show Pokemon Sunday on February 4, 2010. On February 10, 2010, early copies of the March 2010 edition of Corocoro magazine were scanned that revealed both Zoroark and its pre-evolution Zorua's appearances. Zorua, the "Evil Fox" Pokemon, is 2'4" tall and weighs 27.5 pounds; Zoroark, the "Monster Fox" Pokemon, is 5'3" and weighs 179.4 pounds. They are pure Dark-types, and Zoroark is also the star of the upcoming thirteenth movie Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark.
On April 17th, 2010, the first gameplay footage was shown on Pokemon Sunday. On April 23, 2010, TV Tokyo announced that the Diamond and Pearl saga of the anime would be concluding in the third quarter of the year. Because it was previously revealed that Black and White will be released in Fall 2010 in Japan, and because the anime usually times the beginning of a new saga with the release of its parent set of games, it seems extremely likely that Black and White's Japanese release date will be in September 2010, which is the only month that is both in the third quarter of the year as well as the season of autumn.
On May 1, 2010, Pokemon Sunday revealed that they would showing a silhouette for another new Pokemon on the following week's episode and that the Pokemon in question would be revealed fully after another week. On May 8, 2010, silhouettes of the starter trio were revealed on Pokemon Sunday. A few days later on May 12, 2010, Corocoro finally leaked, revealing that the games will take place in the Isshu Region and unveiling the three starters:
On May 28, 2010, Pokemon.com updated with a new promotional animation for Black and White. In addition to the North American release of the games given as Spring 2011, two new creatures named Reshiram and Zekrom appear at the end of the animation. These are the new version mascot Legendaries.
On June 11, 2010, the July 2010 edition of Corocoro was leaked and revealed seven new Pokemon as well as the Isshu Region's Professor. The Professor is Araragi, a woman. The new Pokemon are Normal-type chinchilla Chiramii; Normal/Flying-type pigeon Mamepato; Steel-type Gears; Psychic-type Mun'na; Fire-type ape Hihidaruma; Electric-type horse Shimama; and Ground/Dark-type crocodile Meguroko.
On June 24th, 2010, Pokemon Sunday revealed that the games would be released in Japan on September 18th, 2010. The next day on Oha Suta, a new gameplay trailer revealed eight new Pokemon and knowledge that triple battles would be added to the games. The new Pokemon are Moguryuu and Doryuuzu, a mole family; Denchura, a possibly Electric-type tarantula; Desukan, a sarcophagus; and Ononokusu and three unnamed Pokemon (later revealed to be Gochiruzeru, Rankurusu and Gigaiasu). Several screenshots of this video, featuring the new Pokemon, can be found here, while the actual trailer can be watched here. Twenty-two BW Pokemon are currently known, with apparently none being related to older Pokemon yet. On the same day, some concept art from the anime was leaked that was later confirmed as likely to be legitimate. It contains four new Pokemon, including Mijumaru and Tsutaaja's evolved form.
On July 5, Koromori, the flying Pokemon from the concept art, was revealed as legitimate, and on July 9, the other Pokemon between Jessie and the new girl was shown to be real via in-game sprites. This Pokemon was shown as a Bandai figure with several confirmed Generation V Pokemon, including the starters and mascots, and another bear-like figure that might be a Pokemon. Only July 9, users on 2ch.net also revealed that a BW demo was out and a screenshot was shown with a bird Pokemon that might be Mamepato's evolution as well as a rodent-like Pokemon. On July 11, the August 2010 Corocoro leaked, showing Wooguru, an eagle-based Pokemon whose silhouette was shown on Pokemon Sunday a day earlier, and Mushaana, the evolved form of Munna, and officially naming the gothic humanoid Gochiruzeru and huggy white Pokemon with a green aura, Rankurusu.
On July 21, 2010, Oha Suta aired footage of a triple battle that showed the back of a new Pokemon, Mamanbou, and officially revealed the name of the Rock-type from the trailer with Gochiruzeru and Rankurusu: Gigaiasu. On July 24, Pokemon Sunday named the Pokemon shown at the end of the Zoroark movie: Bikutini. It is #000 in the Isshu Dex. On July 30, a new Oha Suta trailer aired that showed Pokemon Musical, the new replacement to Contests; a new feature of the C-Gear, named the Hi-Link; the Isshu region's villainous Team Plasma; and three new Pokemon: a stork or swan, a baby deer (Shikijika) and Minezumi's evolution Miruhoggu.
On August 3, the Sugimori art of the first new Pokemon of the month was leaked on the Japanese Yahoo! site, along with stock art of Bikutini, Shikijika, the swan Pokemon, Aloe, Dento and Team Plasma. Bikutini was confirmed as a Psychic/Fire-type with a new ability; it is 0.4m and 4kg, and its species is the Victory Pokemon. The new Pokemon is a caterpillar that is almost certainly a Bug-type. On August 6, two more new Pokemon were revealed via Pokemon Search bus tours: Emonga, an Electric/Flying-type flying squirrel, and Hihidaruma's pre-evolution, Darumakka. Shikijika was also confirmed as a Normal/Grass-type who changes appearances with the seasons, and Gigaiasu was confirmed to be pure Rock-type. Two more Pokemon revealed from the Bus Tours were Tabunne, a rabbit, and Basurao, a fish.
A few days later, two new Pokemon were shown in a demo trailer, but the quality was low and no further information was revealed at the time. On August 20th, Pokemon Sunday confirmed the legitimacy of the Grass-type monkey figurine, named Yanappu. There are currently 43 confirmed Pokemon from Generation V.
This thread will now be opened to serve as Black and White's catch-all news thread between now and their release.
