Five new Pokemon revealed (two confirmed as real), BW Anime details revealed[permalink]

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.
I think the older man might be Brock's replacement. I hope not, Brock was the only other reason I watched the anime (Team Rocket being the other, we know they are safe), but maybe, just maybe, there is another Nurse Joy/Officer Jenny we don't know about! Dawn seems to have gone the way of Pokemon girls past. Vanishing into the unknown. But why does that girl look different from the in-game one?
The thing next to Jessie...looks like a bat. What do we know about TR? They love poison types and bats! Jessie might just have "a flying Christmas wreath" in B/W.
If that guy is Brock's replacement, I'll be thoroughly creeped out. They already have a sex-crazed BREEDER as a young teen's best friend (just sayin), but to have an old dude accompany him across a new region? No, thank you.
So, let me get this straight, Ash Ketchum started his Pok?mon adventure at like, ten years old, and traveled across four regions and about to come to his fifth, excaltly how old is he now?
Clue: the anime's timeline hasn't matched up to ours in years. There's no way Ash is 23 right now. If each region takes as long as Kanto did in the anime timeline, then he's about 15 or 16.
A kofing with wings :D XD that's so unoriginakl but w/e. And I hope that isn't the girl that goes with Ash... and what about Brock will Brock leave us or what? Come on Brock is suposse to be "Ash's best friend"...
Well, to calm down all you Brock fans. He always leaves in the beginning of each Generation. Advanced and D/P (And Orange Islands) all say he vanishes for a while.
Water water starter evo is like a buizel and zangoose, almost. Also, the grass evo looks like a velociraptor ^_^ pretty awesome! Plus i think maybe the "flying Christmas Wreath" is maybe the Zubat of Gen V?
I like the evolutions of the starter pokemon, especially the otter. I'm not so sure about the girl. Her hair is...poofy. I think they should keep Brock, and replace the usual sidekick girl with the old guy. XD (or maybe the pig does evolve into him?)
Mama mia. If you LIKE the Koffing/Zubat thing, no offense, but that is SO LAME. I know I'm overreacting, but the pokemon in this generation and their evolutions are all lame, look like digimon, or they are narrow minded creations.
Wow, could you fit anymore cliched replies into that one comment, between calling ALL of the NEW Pokemon lame or adding they "look like Digimon"? How about "they look ugly!" or "they look stupid!" too? Don't forget other classics like "Everything after 251 sux!", "They look like [Pokemon A] and [Pokemon B]!!" or "They're running out of ideas!"
i think there's a chance that the new pokemon between jessie and the new girl are team rocket's , and the man OR the girl haves an Umbreon. or it means gray returns since he haves an Umbreon.
"Everything after 251 sux!"? Uh you talking about national dex? :o I actually like all the pokemons of all the 4 gens but this gen is only well, diferent.
yep yep..in my opinion, Zubat is the most annoying pocket monster...i just dont even like going in caves cause i know that little buggard will be in there D: D:
The old guy is prob gonna b a main character. I don't think he'd b a gym leader, I also don't think he'd b the new girls dad but its a good guess... Also 4 the new team they usually wear logos. He's prob gonna b ashs dad lol thatd b different.
i don't want kung-fu otters, i wanted him to get all chubby and cuter :3
but meh, i hope theres still some cuteness in the final evo, because otters are awesome
i think i may like flying-christmas-wreath-mon
interesting that there isn't any brock/the idea they might get rid of brock. i'm not convinced though - there isn't a replacement character there.
i don't think its likely dawn will extend to isshu though/the pattern may/misty followed changing.

that ugly puffy witch girl WILL not be the sidekick , sister or anything. that guy wont be a partner or father. i hope this is just a draft and not thr real thing because this is gonna crash the pokemon world. pokemon rocks enough no need for those people!!
Maybe this is the last season if that is Ash's father. I'm still trippin on what ash's mom said in the first episode about his father going on a journey. Plus the regions route start over so maybe it is the last game.

@fyeahblackandwhite im thinking its not a shadow hes is darker than ashs witch means she probably dark
Anybody here who thinks that all the pokemon in generation V is poorly made or whatever else is stupid. They made 4 generations and now making a 5th and this suppose to make a new revolution for pokemon, plus most of these pokemon are really creative although the new bat thing is creepy. The animated series should either restart with new kids or Ash the pansy should stick with Dawn and Brock, unless the excuss for Dawn leaving is good Propobaly her going to the other regions with Berry or somethin to win more contests. In that case the new girl should be the new avatar from Black and White.
Oh gosh... If that black girl IS a female player, oh man, here comes 4Kids to ruin Pokemon all over again! That is, if anything happens that 4Kids will ruin... Like probably everything. Darn.

@Moonwraith Idk what drugs you're on but 4kids hasn't done Pokemon for years and when 4kids did dub Pokemon, they were great so don't insult them.
