Another new trailer for Black and White aired during Oha Suta today. The first section showed a bunch of previously-revealed Pokemon, some 3D models of Reshiram and Zekrom, and a bunch of previously-revealed characters. However, in this group were two members of Team Plasma, the newest villain team. There was also a "VS" screenshot against somebody named Aloe (Aroe in katakana). In the Generation IV games, only important characters like Gym Leaders or Elite Four got those, so it might be somebody noteworthy. It's also probably the series' first black character, discounting Rosie from Battle Revolution who was only black outside of Japan:

The second part of the trailer shows off the C-Gear item that Makomo gives you, including the four-person battle capability and a new feature called Hi-Link. It looks like the Hi-Link lets another player visit your game, sort of like the Animal Crossing series. A shot of the in-game map of Isshu is also shown:

During the third part of the trailer, something called "Pokemon Musical" is shown. Since only little girl players were shown, and you can dress up your Pokemon in this activity, a lot of people have assumed that these are the new equivalent of contests. Some promotional art for Pokemon Musical was shown that contains a new bird Pokemon. It looks kind of like a stork or a swan to me:


The trailer then moves onto battles, and a new Pokemon is shown right off the bat. The heroine is shown to release a Pokemon named Shikijika. It's a cute little baby deer. Surely people will start going "ZOMG STANTLER PRE-EVOLUTION" but I'd like to point out that a Stantler pre-evolution would probably have... you know, antlers.

Then the Dream World is shown off for a bit. The player is shown to be able to grow berries here, and there is footage of the player catching a dream Pikachu as well. It is officially confirmed that Pokemon from Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver can be transferred up to Black and White with the PokeShifter, and you play a little mini-game with the DS's touch screen to catch them:


At the very end of the trailer, the main characters are shown walking down a route. The male is shown walking and it looks pretty regular. Then the screen shifts to the female walking and the route takes on a very autumnal appearance. Do we finally get seasons?
We also get sneak peeks at four new trainer classes, including an American football player and a baker:


Finally, we see Minezumi's evolution, Miruhoggu, attacking in a wild double battle:

As always, thanks to those Japanese media watchhawks over at Filb.de for capturing this trailer! I've also added the three new Pokemon to our list of known Gen V Pokemon.
