Though we already saw it in the new Black & White rulebook, we now have a clearer image of Klingklang (#76) from Black & White. The card will be holo in real life. The set’s prereleases take place this next weekend and we should have more scans soon, so be sure to check back next week!

Right on time, Pokemon launched Global Link today. If you’re not familiar with what that is (again), here’s the write-up from the Global Link site:
The Pokémon Global Link
The Pokémon Global Link website links with the saved data of the Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version Game Cards. The main features of the PGL are the Pokémon Dream World and the Global Battle Union.
The Pokémon Dream World and the Global Battle Union
The Pokémon Dream World is a dream world that unfolds in the Pokémon Global Link. In the Pokémon DW, you can redecorate your home or make friends with Pokémon by playing minigames.
In the Global Battle Union, Trainers can check online battle Rankings and Ratings worldwide.

Hi Friends,
Tomorrow, April 13th, is the official start for our next contest. Around 7:00pm (EST) the “Name That Pokemon” Facebook contest will begin. This contest will run for 10 days total (2 days in between each round) and the winners will get their choice of the Pokemon Black or Pokemon White posters that our local GameStop donated to us. Also, 1 lucky winner will get a special prize that is Pokémon card related.
Anyone can participate in this contest BUT it will only appear on the World of Pokemon Facebook page. For the time being, we will only be awarding prizes to winner here in the US but don’t fret, the month of May will bring us another contest that will be open to everyone on the site.
I sure hope you have been following the news here on the site because this will be a BIG help in the “Name That Pokemon” contest! I’ve already tested the first round ( that’s it at the top of this post but it is blurred out
) and I stumped the pro’s (ha ha!!). That’s why everyone will get 2 days between each round, it make take that long to figure these out.
Just so everyone knows, each round will consist of 5 Pokemon numbered 1 through 5. I will only reveal a tiny part of each Pokemon AND they will be in black & white since they are from those games! (No color here, that gives too much away). You will need to correctly submit your answer to each post & in order.
There will be extra points for the first person who correctly names them all in each round. And while you can answer multiple times during each round, in the long run that will go against you. The people that correctly name all 25 Pokemon with the least amount of guesses at the end of the contest will win! Brush up on the new batch of Pokemon, have your reference materials handy and be ready @ 7pm EST.
Good Luck!

In Pocket Monsters, “Team Rocket” is fairly harmless organized crime unit that steals, sells and captures rare and powerful Pokémon. The Team Rocket characters are typically comical, but surely, the concept of dealing in stolen Pocket Monsters is prime grist for a game. More »
