Sorry for being a little quiet lately; I'm still settling into my apartment. On to the news.
First off, a small scan from the October 2010 Corocoro Special has been leaked via 2ch and Twitter. The scan shows something called Combination Attacks, which can be used in the triple battles. By executing certain attacks in the correct order, there will be additional effects on the battle. The scan shows the use of the starters' unique attacks.
Fire and Water makes a lucky rainbow to boost additional effects from your Pokemon's attacks. Water and Grass trap your opponent in a wetland, reducing their speed. Grass and Fire results in a firestorm that will affect the battlefield.
Next up, the official Pokemon site has announced a new sweepstakes. Only US players may enter. The contest runs until September 19th, with 3 drawings for winners (one per week). Each week, there will be 101 winners. The grand prize each week is a DSi XL, HeartGold and SoulSilver, 36 HGSS Undaunted boosters, 3 TCG collector tins with Entei, Raikou, and Suicune, and a pair of strategy guides. 100 runners-up each week will also receive one of the 3 TCG tins.
Lastly, the "Everybody's Nintendo Channel" on Japanese Wii consoles is showing a bunch of new Black and White ads. There are several things worth noting; a fair bit of new footage, the fact that Iris (from the BW anime) can be seen, as well as Dento's Gym.
