Is Pokemon Grey going to be the NEXT Pokemon Game??
Mad rumors abound that Corocoro will be revealing the next Pokemon game early next year. The powerhouse Japanese gaming magazine will have the world exclusive on the next unannounced Pocket Monster, aka Pokemon, game in their January issue which is scheduled to release in Japan on January 14th, 2012. So, what do you think this new game might be? I’m guessing Pokemon Gray!

Pokebeach offered up N’s true name.
Junichi Masuda must want Internet attention this week – he just updated the Gamefreak blog with some surprising background information about N. He finally revealed that N’s full name is “Natural Harmonia Gropius.” Yes, N’s first name is actually Natural. And yes, laughably, his last name is Gropius (I see two similarities there, one Pokemon-related [Tropius], and one not XD.) On a serious note, and Masuda did not say this, but “Natural” is English, “Harmonia” is Latin, and “Gropius” is German, meaning N’s name comes from three different languages (and he’s German?). Masuda stated that the abbreviation “N” actually comes from “natural number” since N is highly intelligent in math – he is even called a “magician of mathematics,” which isn’t surprising considering his character design shows him wearing a Menger sponge.

The official Pokemon movie website has updated with the two movie 14 titles: Victini and the Black Hero: Zekrom and Victini and the White Hero: Reshiram. The website has revealed that, as predicted, the movies will basically be two “versions” of the same plot, with the defining difference being the Legendary Pokemon that appears in each. However, we still do not know if there will be more differences beyond that.
So how will this work in Japan? Do you get to choose which you want to see when you go to the theater, or will certain theater complexes only show one of the two films? At least now if you want to see the movie more than once, you’ll have the option of getting a slightly different experience (or should we rather consider this an evil marketing scheme to get more money out of the little childrens, like with the video games? :p). How will Cartoon Network handle the two different versions when it decides to air them in America, and will both movies be released together on DVD?
The blog section of the movie site has also revealed that the Victini players can download at movie theaters will know Ball of Flame in addition to V-Generate. Ball of Flame has 100 base power, 100% accuracy, a 30% chance of inflicting Burn, and five Power Points. The blog also mentions that there “might” be another big announcement regarding the films at the start of March. Considering the Pokemon you can download for preordering a movie ticket has not been revealed, we can probably assume that is what this future announcement pertains to (and maybe it’s Keldeo?).
