The Psydex has been updated with Black 2 and White 2 information, including level-up attacks, tutored moves and stats and sprite data for the six new formes - White and Black Kyurem, Resolution Keldeo and Therian Thundurus, Tornadus and Landorus. More work on this section to come soon!
Also, thanks to Cherrygrove, we have a budding Pokemon Conquest section. This section is also a work in progress, so expect more information to come through in the next few weeks.
Since our last update, a bunch of news has come out. For starters, Genesect was revealed in the August 2012 Corocoro, and also appears at the end of the Keldeo movie, which was released in Japanese theaters this weekend. A Japanese Genesect event will be taking place for BW2 players August 11 to September 14, meaning that all three of Unova's hidden event Pokemon were revealed in 2012. A while ago we also added the US and European release dates of BW2 to our list on the right - October 7 for the US, with the European release coming a few days later.
Speaking of BW2, we have a bunch of localized names that we've reported on our Facebook page, but not on the main site. Homika, the Poison-type Tachiwaki City Gym Leader, has become Roxie the Virbank City Gym Leader; Shizui the Water-type Gym Leader is now Marlon; Hue, your rival, is Hugh; Cheren is now the Gym Leader for Aspertia City; the Pokewood side quest is now PokeStar Studios, and the new "Professor" Achoroma is now Colress.
Cold Flare and Freeze Bolt, the newest Japanese TCG set, was released in Japan this week features EX and full art EX cards for Celebi, Cresselia, Resolution Keldeo, Therian Landorus, White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, as well as new full arts for Cheren and Bianca. There's also four Ace Spec cards - Crystal Wall for Black Kyurem-EX, Crystal Edge for White Kyurem-EX, and Gold Potion and Computer Search for anyone. Shiny reprints include Rocky Helmet, Golurk, Altaria and Terrakion. Also featured are trainers of Hugh and Skyla as well as Stadiums of Verbank and Aspertia City Gym.
The new English set, Dragons Exalted, comes out August 15th with pre-releases happening the two weekends prior. It will feature over 125 cards, with the debut of the Dragon-type and at least 15 new Dragon-type cards. The theme decks center on Garchomp and Hydreigon and are called DragonSnarl and DragonSpeed, and new EX cards include Terrakion, Rayquaza and Giratina, as well as (most likely, though not technically confirmed yet) Mew, Registeel and Ho-oh, as the bulk of the set will be the Japanese Dragon Blade and Dragon Blast subsets along with their theme decks.
A new TCG Double Box Album is coming out in August featuring 5 HGSS, COL or BW packs, the two BW-era card albums and three holo reprints of the monkey trio from BW1. Additionally, tins with reprints of Mewtwo-EX, Darkrai-EX and the upcoming Rayquaza-EX will be coming this fall! Owner's Pokemon will be returning to the Japanese TCG with the next set, Plasma Gale, which features Team Plasma's Pokemon.
Also, Meloetta has officially made her TCG debut in Cold Flare and Freeze Bolt, as well as with two Japanese McDonald's promos featuring both her forms coming in two weeks. There's also a new Japanese C-Gear skin featuring her available on Wi-Fi as of yesterday.
