Have you ever noticed something in one of the pre release pictures or a certain part of a sentence on a website of Pokemon Black/White that could represent somehting new or something all of you have been speculating for a while?

Well, share your discoveries here!

Just post the picture and/or sentence (provide the website you find them at) that you find it at and tell us what you found!

There can't be any wrong answers, because right now, we don't have any right answers either! XD

Share!

In the image below, where the male protagonist is located in a construction site of the sorts, there is another NPC in red. If you look closely at his skin color, he appears to be darker than normal NPC's from past generations. It's being thought that this could possibly represent dark skinned characters in the game for the very first time. Certain thoughts that back this up is that the region is farther from the other regions, located in a new area. It's still unclear, but it's possible I guess.

Sorry, but it only looks that way because it's a low quality photo.

It looks a lot lighter in high-quality, but I guess he/she still looks a bit darker than the hero.

There could be a chance that for once Pokémon will not be racist and Hikers probably won't be the only dark people. Maybe they could be adding every race to these games.

At 2:53 you can see people lined up at some sort of vendor. It excites me just to see such a human element added to the game.

Also my exchange student translated what the people said and I'll add it as soon as I copy and paste it from the old speculation thread.

In order of appearance:

"What?"
"Long time no see"
"What?"
"(some sort of sound you would make when you're exhausted)"
"I'm hungry"
"I see"
"Bye bye"
"(exhausted sound)"
"I'm hungry."

It looks like the ears and hands are black because to me, the NPC could be wearing a white shirt.
