woah, Its seems just like a few months that the new 5th gen games were released, time is going so fast. I'm very stoked to see what the new Kyurem forms will be like. I really hope the stat spreads aren't the same generic 100/150/90/120/120/95 or something like that. It would be cool one of the forms actually had a stat over 150 or 154 because in Ubers base 150 offensive stats are the norm. The only pokemon seen occasionly in Ubers with a higher offensive stat is Deoxys-A. Move tutors or may be new egg/event moves are another thing that I'm really looking forward to.

Normal Kyurem using what appears to be Flamethrower, the animation looks way too fire-centric for Hyper Beam.

I dunno, seemed a little too explosive for Flamethrower. Fusion Flare perhaps? It would make more sense given its association with Zekrom and Reshriam. It also looks like it uses those two 180BP Ice moves as well, though they could've been Fusion Flare and Fusion Bolt. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Neh, Fusion Flare is more like this:

Notice how BF has rings around it; White Kyurem's attack has rings around it too. Reshiram's Flamethrower in M14 did not.
It's either an Ice Burn that has retconned the animation in B1W1, or a Flamethrower that was made nicer looking for kicks. It was shown after Black Kyurem used what appears to be Freeze Shock.

That is for certain hyper beam
First of all the Anime LOVES Hyper Beam and uses it ALL THE TIME
Second of all, that looks like every hyper beam ever, flamethrower rarely has related explosions, where Hyper Beam always does.
God, Pirouette Meloetta is so cute. Fuck you, Relic Song.
Finally...
The new player characters look fantastic, especially the girl.
New gym leaders by the looks of it.
Appears to be a new region (or new areas in Unova at least), but Unova is also featured in the background of the last scan so that must play a role.
Old pokemon are featured (for the regional dex?).
This is awesome.
EDIT: Unova looks all icy...

HOLY SHIT IT'S REALLY A SEQUEL
GET OUT EVERY
GET OUT EVERY
The game still takes place in Unova, goofuses. We start out under Driftveil; the area that was foresty now sports at least 3 new towns.
The rocker is a Poison type leader, the swimmer is water (shock). Poofy blue haired guy is our rival
Unova dex now encoporates older Pokemon to give a 300 strong dex

I think the non-Unova Pokemon added to Unova will just be the ones that were in the post game of BW. Riolu, Metagross (Metang), Mantine (Mantyke), Golduck (Psyduck), etc. are all available in the postgame.
Thinking about it, it makes sense for them to have migrated to the main region if the right side was being frozen.

They also show Eevee, Mareep, and Arcanine, who weren't available normally.
anyway just posting what I posted on serebii since why not
ALSO MELOTTA STILL DID NOT GET SUGIMORI ARTWORK
I don't care, as long as they make a new item called Red Shoes which increases Normal- and Fighting-type moves' power by 20% and makes Pirouette the default forme.
Hey, Unova is partially frozen so maybe I'm right about Snow Warning. Let me keep on my wishful thinkings, thank you.

Apparently they might just be hiding the map with ice for teaser purposes. But that's still up in the air
And as long as God Stone adds 20% to Ice and Dragon, and auto charges Ice Burn and Freeze Shock, I'm fine.
Those are in the air, obviously
I havent watched the anime for a few months now, but as of the Thundurus/Tornadus/Landorus episode, Hyper Beam has been changed to look more like it does ingame (more of a smooth beam rather than the fiery one they used 1st gen-4th gen). But again, who knows.
Also
On the top part of the page, where the screenshots of Ice Burn and Freeze Shock are, there are captions that say Zekrom [Fusion Bolt] .... 140, and Reshiram [Fusion Flare] ...140. Can someone make out what it says to complete the sentence?
