Jesus christ, this isn't the first time this has happened. The reason why we're not getting any more scans is because some dolts over at 4chan decided to raid 2ch with rude remarks demanding scans directed at the guy posting leaked information. This apparently made the guy mad, so he decided not to share anymore as they were being ungrateful.
So yeah, we may not receive leaked information until this weekend when the magazine officially becomes available to everyone unless the guy pulls himself together and decides to start sharing again.

I wonder if there's any possibility they will learn not to do that? I swear, they've done this for both HG/SS and Black/White in the past and always with the same result.

Well, irregardless, here's an even larger scan of the title page. It's still pretty hard to see, but this is a more accurate size that doesn't require as much squinting.

Hmmm, 4chan? I go there quite a bit, i might go and see if i can fix something up for us!
(edit)
Went there, they have all gone nuts. They apparently have confirmed that the two characters are the protagonists, theyre like cavemen around fire. One guys saying that the official site of another franchise being covered in this month's CoroCoro put the cover on its blog. Dunno if its true but it might be, guess we wont be getting scans for a while then :/

There's nothing to be fixed up at 4chan, as now everyone's posting in remorse thinking "Well if I would have known calling him names wouldn't have gotten us scans I wouldn't have done it."
2ch's where the info's at, but unless you can speak non-broken Japanese there's not much to be done. Besides, i'm sure other 2ch members are trying to get some more info out of him.
4chan's a bloody mess right now, as everyone is posting fake information and art saying Serebii/Archaic/Masuda confirmed, so i'd avoid that train wreck.

Worst case scenario is the guy doesn't post more images from CoroCoro and we have to wait just a day or two longer. CoroCoro comes out this Saturday (I think), which is Friday here.
I feel like somebody else in Japan has to have the magazine early and not just this guy though.

So much chaos just for one scan, he could post them tomorrow or not at all, no one knows really. What we do know is that we've got Saturday to look forward to which will basically provide us with all this information and more.

At this rate, I wouldn't be shocked if we don't get the scans until Coro Coro is officially released. I'm so frustrated already, after waiting over a month and a half I just want to see something! And now it seems that for the first time in years, Coro Coro may actually not leak early because of all the English fans hassling the people who have the issue on Twitter and 2ch. Just hoping someone else in Japan gets it and posts it.

I don't think the protagonists will have spiky hair. It is a common trait in anime character, but look at how long Pokemon has gone without giving us spiky hair characters.

Current BW protagonists look rather conventional and European if you ask me.

Call me cynical but I'm quite enjoying the chaos...makes things fun.
Both the people in the scan look like boys to me...maybe we get a bifauxen character (a girl who looks like a guy) this time around...

On the topic of protagonists, it's kinda hard to tell going by what we currently have but by the looks of their appearence etc. it looks like the female is on the right and the male on the left assuming they are for B2W2.

Haha, maybe the female will be an SNL Pat scenario:
Spoiler:

Bahaha! Oh me... i'm the only one who gets that reference. I'm so old...

But oh well. 1-2 days never killed anybody. As Suicune said, we'll be getting CoroCoro and then some on Saturday.
I recommend staying away from 4chan, as they're posting A LOT of fake photoshopped scans, and it would be easy for someone to get fooled.

I checked a zoomed in version from Pokebeach just now and they still look like boys, maybe the afro guy is the rival (if this is connected to Pokemon).

3- It looks like a pokeball pattern on the front of whatever the guy at the front has on his head (its not a cap because you can see hair sprouting from it at the back, look closely)
4- Its bunched perfectly with all the other B/W2 stuff, why would they put random characters from a different game bunched up with Pokemon and not say they are different. They are practically right next to Kyurem.
Case closed :)
1) they had others with similar style drawn before that weren't related to Pokemon.
2) Blue is a Girl and Red is a Boy.
4) The two boys last time were mixed in with Pokemon news and had nothing to do with them. They were surrounded by Pokemon stuff.

Massive debate on it. No one knows.

But this really should be an interesting week.

Also this was translated from 2CH although it's not necessarily true but still fun to speculate:

- Team Plasma is back
- N is missing
- Story takes place two years after BW
- Kyurem, Darmanitan, and Cryogonal have new forms
- New Pokemon
- Cheren is now a gym leader
- Adventure begins in Castelia City
- More 3D stuff (Not 3DS, graphics)*
- Protagonist is 17 years old*
- Expanded C-Gear that has a ‘secret’*
- Map has new towns and places*
This is what I posted when those rumors first came up.

- N is missing | Giovanni went missing
- Story takes place two years after BW | Gold/Silver took place 2 years after Red/Blue
- Cheren is now a gym leader | Blue becomes a Gym Leader.

The boy has a ridiculous amount of spikiness going on up there.

That is if the one in the blue is a girl and the one in the red is a guy. If it's the other way around, ugh.
I told myself I wasn't going to complain though. :P
Blue is wearing a Visor cap, like the tennis caps and her hair is coming out and over her shoulder near the back. The one it red is big bushy hair. Him not having a hat seems like it would mean he isn't a protagonist. First with no type of headgear.

It could well be two males, after all these games are slightly diverse from other traditional patterns, who knows what move Game Freak will make next.

Two males would really be a major step back, though >__>; I don't think they'd do that, or at least I really don't want that. Much rather if they were from Adventure Camp ;;

I agree, plus it'd be really... pointless. They gave a female trainer option for the female players, so they would be pissing off the female players if they did make two male protagonist.

I'm thinking it's rival. And his red coat reminds me of Dawn's...maybe it is a girl who looks boyish, I mean Hilda was a Tomboy, so why not a boyish looking girl?

Guy on serebii is flat out saying the person on the right is a girl do to being similar in looks to Hilda. I told him that the one on the right must be a girl too since it looks like dawn after being zapped by pachirisu. I'm not going to say what gender they are until we get better non blurry pics.

Magmaruby and Aquasapphire is right, besides, every girl I can think of in the Pokemon games have been tomboys


The next leak is due to be out Tomorrow correct? I hope it shows the Protagonists in it, if not, then we will definitely see it on Saturday (outside of Japan)

Speaking of better, non-blurry pictures, filb.de has something from the show Oha Suta.
This is probably the best image we've gotten so far.

Spoiler:


I seriously think that's the male protagonist and a male rival. Neither looks like a female.
I mean, the one in the blue has a girly face... but definitely lacks a female figure.

That's the confusing thing. The one with the hat kind of looks like a male, but the female figure makes me think its a female.

By the way, filb.de also added the new Movie 15 trailer which shows Kyurem going into overdrive mode. Pretty cool.

It's kind of a large stretch, but I think the character with the blue shirt has black pants on judging by what can be barely seen underneath that giant Japanese symbol in the way. :P
Still, kinda hard to tell.

By the way, we're definitely not getting any leaks now. Somebody linked to the 2ch thread and now everybody on 4chan is pestering the hell out of the 2ch members. -_-
See you guys Friday, hahaha.

Ugh... Stupid 4Chan people could they seriously have not waited like a day?... Patience is a virtue. But anyway, I agree that it's a male rival and a protagonist, especially after seeing a fan sprite art of Afro-man, it definitely looks that way. Man I definitely hope this game matches all this hype, they seem like they have so much potential.

I got creative with the title ;)

I really don't want that to be the rival. The rival is meant to be badass like N.

4Chan's ruined many past potential leaks, but they're just a bunch of lovable dummies when it comes to this stuff (myself included! :D ). And did anyone else think of a young Alder when you saw that cover? Maybe the person with the afro has a Bouffalant for his/her signature character haha. I'm thinking they're just new characters, not the playable characters. That, or they're unrelated to Pokemon. Has it been confirmed whether or not they're Pokemon characters?
