    Um, guys, remember that Ash can get more the one of the starters, heck all three if that's how the writers want to go. My prediction for the starters:


    Ash will get Tsutarja and Pokabu, Iris will get Mijumaru, and being a Gym Leader Dento doesn't really need a Starter (especially one from his home region).


    As for Ash's design, let's take a look at all of them "back-to-back" to see how "different" the art styIe is with his Isshu clothes:


    Kanto & Johto | Hoenn & Battle Frontier
    http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/71/Anime_Ash.pngFile:Ashag.png
    Sinnoh | Isshu
    File:SatoshiDP.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/3/3a/SatoshiBW.png


    Now disregarding the clothing *cough*Hoennisthebest*cough*, Ash's face hasn't really change since his debut. So I think the reason we note the eye color change is because this is the first time he had color added to his eye which was normally all black. In fact I put the Isshu picture in Paint and painted the eyes black and it looked back to normal. So all in all nothing has changed with Ash except for addition of color to his eye.


    As for the clothing, the Isshu one does things the other didn't. For one Ash's pants are black for the first time as in the previous Generations they were blue. Also the shirt has much more white to it then the others, and there looks to be one white then blue meaning Ash is overall wearing a lighter color shirt then his previous ones which were overcome in a blue or black making them look darker. One other little change is that Ash's hat has seemed to reverse back to his original design minus the green "L" (which has been replaced with a blue Pokeball logo) and the seam running down the middle. Oh, the remember this is the stock artwork and the one for Isshu probably looks odd because they didn't really shade it that much. A better version will hopefully come out eventually.

    Well, lets see how they animate them when it's not the promo art. Cause I remember that many seasons gave him weird animation, like his eyes were often times made lower on his face, or the last season of Johto gave everyone way different animation than before. Like less straight lines and more slightly blobby art. Instead of doing Ash's irises like Dawn's but brown, they should've done it how in other seasons where they do show the brown in his eyes, its just barely showing at the bottom of his eye. Less jarring to see because they made his iris color a brighter brown than before.

    As others pointed out, Ash looks much fruiter with this style change. Arent they supposed to make him look OLDER? Anyone notice a difference in Pikachu?

    What difference do you see in Pikachu, besides it getting thinner?

    I highly doubt that this will be the case. For one thing, Ash was seen battling a Tsutarja in a "Pokemon battle environment," and one clip suggests that it was Shooti commanding it to use Grass Mixer. Also, Mijumaru was seen jumping in front of an injured Pikachu and Kibago to protect them against "something," and also seen battling Dento's Yanappu; so it could likely belong to Ash or Shooti (I'm guessing Ash, especially if Tsutarja is Shooti's).



    Now, that boils down to Tsutarja most likely belonging to Dento (since he's likely a Grass Gym Leader) or Shooti, and Mijumaru most likely belonging to Ash (or Shooti, if he doesn't have Tsutarja). Since we haven't seen much of Pokabu, I'd say it could belong to either Ash or Iris no matter which other scenarios take place, and Ash if he doesn't get Mijumaru.


    As for the part about a gym leader not needing a starter, Gardenia had a Turtwig, and Brock had a Mudkip (which evolved), so that point is moot.

    I don't know. Something seems off.



    Pikachu beat Latios. Now we'll see it "reset" and grt pwned by someone pint sized starter.

    I say Ash gets Mijumaru (which I think will be female, judging by the clips its seen in), Dento will Tsutaja and maybe also Shooti (Dawn, Kenny and Barry all had members of the Piplup family, so why not), and Iris will get Pokabu because in the seen with it, you can tell she's the one squeezing its face because of the skin tone of the hands.

    I'm certain this is the episode where Mijumaru is captured.... there is a short clip when Kibago& Pikachu are shown on the ground, with the opponent most likely being Team Rocket or this Meguroko and then Mijumaru comes to the rescue....

    No one's saying Ash can't have more than one starter, Pikachu, we're just saying what we think. I'm sticking with my theory that Dento will have Tsutarja and be a Grass type gym leader (though his badge doesn't support that theory...it doesn't really suggest any type...), Ash will have Mijumaru. I still think Iris will have Pokabu, but I'm willing to say that's not a certain. But I'd guess she will. As for Shooti, I've not a clue.

    It also looks like Pokabu is also battling, so unless Iris is also participating in Gym Battles (which would be kind of pointless) there is also a chance Ash is getting a Pokabu.

    Giovanni looks okay, but come on, couldn't they at least change the design of Jessie and Jame's uniform? They look exactly the same except in black, it looks like a bad re-color. Though I do like Meowth's pose.

    I actually like the Black. Reminds me of the game Team Rocket.

    Giovanni reminds me of someone... but who?... anyway, the new color looks good, they seem more competent even and more in tone with Team Rocke- LELOUCH! Yeah, the guy from Code Geass, at least the clothes remind me to his.

    The first two titles were apparently shown in a Japanese TV magazine and are,

    BW001 - To the Isshu Region! Zekrom's Shadow!!
    BW002 - Iris and Kibago!

    Apparently in the first episode Pikachu is unable to use its electric moves because of Zekrom's shadow, so Ash goes to Professor Araragi's lab. I'm not 100% sure about these, but Newtype leaks should happen today or tomorrow to confirm



    Zekrom already!?

    So he's like Mesprit, Ho-Oh, and Suicune. Always appear in the first episode of the new region.


    None for Hoenn, huh.
