On Sunday, some concept art from the upcoming Black and White-based anime had leaked to the internet that revealed four unseen Pokemon and new characters. We neglected to mention the leak at the time because there was no confirmation that it was legitimate. However, after today's episode of Diamond and Pearl aired in Japan, a promo played for the upcoming series, which is officially titled Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes, and a shadowed character was shown that matched the girl next to Ash in the concept art:
As such, it is likely the concept art is legitimate. In addition to the female character, there's an older male character with an Umbreon whose role is not yet known, as well as Ash, Jessie, James, Pikachu and Meowth. Shown between Jessie and the female character are two new Pokemon: a small creature about the size of Pikachu and a winged creature. Between Team Rocket and the unknown older man are what appears to be Tsutaaja and Mijumaru's evolutions.
Best Wishes is set to begin this September in conjunction with the release of the new games. It's unknown if Dawn or Brock will be returning, but their outlook isn't so bright based on this artwork.
