Sadly this is what I'm thinking now too. If the game was a sequel with a completely brand new story, I don't understand why they wouldn't cover it for the 6 months that they usually do? Leaving it to 2 months before release is just giving me a bad vibe, honestly.

Usually main games are revealed in April-May, and then released in September so they have about 6 months of build where they release information, even third versions. However, this game was revealed about 4 months before release and we only have 2 months left until its released and we have NO info on the actual game. Do they plan on fitting 6 months on information into the next 2 months or something? Very suspicious IMO.
Nobunaga's Ambition/Conquest and B2/W2 might be beginning of new style in promoting new games. Everything is sped up. Release time is sped up (June instead of September), release time outside Japan is sped up, so maybe they refuse so long to give info because info time will be also sped up. I think when they will start revealing info there will be so much in so short time, just like they revealed so much at B2/W2 announcement - new forms, game titles and logos, release month, movie poster and shortly after release date outside Japan.

Gamefreak did Pokemon Conquest right? If so, then you could very well be right and its a new way Gamefreak/Nintendo plan to market games.

I guess they have two Coro Coro issues, possibly three if the game is released in late June, to reveal information. Plus then we have Smash which will be on every week so I guess its not that bad.

I just can't wait for Coro Coro to leak! Really hope we will finally see screenshots of the game. That will get me hyped up for the next Smash episode where we'll be seeing videos of it.

Hmm yeah, I like that positive attitude. Funny thing, with B/W there wasn't really much information from July - September really, well, nothing major. They could just be kinda getting us up to date with B/W I guess, idk.

No, GF didn't do Conquest, but that doesn't really matter because Conquest's release outside Japan is one of the quickest of all Pokemon games and B2/W2 will probably be quick as well, so this could be a sign that Nintendo changed marketing strategy to release more info in shorter time.

They also fired the guy that was originally leaking all the early information. Remember the Starter Evos? They were released 2 weeks early due to an inside leak. They guy that did that was also leaking all the other information that we kept getting for B/W and previous generations before. GF/Nintendo (Don't remember which of the companies he worked for) caught, fined, and fired him.

I don't know about you guys, but all I want is one screenshot and then I'm good to go until the games come out in North America. This wait is killing me! :P

June 23rd seems like a reasonable date and although it's not confirmed it seems very plausible.

Man, I was hoping it was going to be around June 4th so I could pretend GameFreak was giving me a very Japanese birthday present.
Oh well, it's still just right around the corner.

I'm ready for some CoroCoro.

I'm awaiting the designs of the player trainer characters more than anything else. That's one of the things that could make or break B2/W2 for me, as petty a detail as that may sound to some people.

Didn't realise that Corocoro is being leaked today/tomorrow, time really does fly and I'm hoping to see something worthwhile.

Its already the 11th in Japan and if we go by Smash time which airs about 4-5 pm for me here in Central Time Zone, it has to be about 11 or 12 ish in Japan on April 11th.

It's almost 9.30am on April 11th in Japan, so its less than 3 days till its released there. I bet you guys that knowing our luck, we'll get scans like one day before its actually released -_-

I'm going to freak out when news comes though. As it is, we don't know what to expect at all. It's going to be such a huge surprise.

I was going to say they wont reveal the trainers in CoroCoro as they usually reveal them a little further into the revealing process but then again, if they have already showed us the mascots and the box arts and theres not much chance for new pokes then we might very well get trainers in the leak! BUT Nintendo pulled a fast one on us by making it a sequel so we actually have no say in what might be revealed. I dont trust Nintendo anymore but its still really exiting! LEAK NOW!!

Don't worry guys, I actually googled this and found out that leaks are always 11th or 12th, so it'll definitely be today or tomorrow :3
