He's referring to resort area, the mansion there that you eventually get to use for yourself previously belonged to Steven, who recently left the area.

A grunt in Plasma's Castle says so.
EDIT: The point is he indeed mentioned Rocket and Galactic.
He doesn't say plazma learnt from them but that team R & G made them selves to obviouse
Well, yes...that they made themselves too obvious and because of that they learned from their mistakes.
Reading through this thread, I've noticed a lot more than I had just looking at the scans myself. Glad I checked it out.
And yes, Quickster, the Kami trio's typings are confirmed (Check it out on Serebii. There's a new section detailing all we know about the Kami trio's new forms).
He has fluffy cloud things on his paws (sounds cute) that keep him levitating I guess.
In the scan of the anime, aside from Cynthia in her blue summer dress getup on the left of the page, the very bottom of the page also depicts Cynthia in some fancy pink dress garb.
It's nice to see variety!

Unfortunetly it will probably be anime only. If memory serves here battle sprite has been shown to still be her black outfit like usual.
I hope my Boss gets some role in BW2 and not just be random addition in the tourney. I also hope I appear there since I am the coolest Executive and I would be said if HG/SS is my only appearance. =(
Those jewels look like a belly button / belly button ring. Considering their pseudo-cleavage and the bikini-like breast plates I'm now more inclined to believe they are female forms.
I'm deciding whether or not to import W2. My original plan was to just preorder a JPN copy and rent one for the VGCs. I have an ENG 3DS, and an ENG DSLite (which can play JPN games). I really want these new beast mode genie forms, but if I understand correctly you capture them on your AR Searcher game on your 3DS and transfer them to your game. I think I would have to have an ENG copy of W2 in order for it to run in my ENG 3DS and transfer it over from the AR Searcher game to the cart, right?
If that's the case I'll just pre-order the ENG W2.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that's how it works. You would need a Japanese 3DS with AR Searcher to catch and transfer them to a Japanese B2/W2 game.
I wonder if there's a Dark-type using gym leader, though more likely not since the gyms might still reflect to the predecessors Black & White.
What I also like is if the touch screen will be used often like that in HGSS (probably the best in the 4th Gen games IMO) compared to DPPt.

The moustaches.
They're not as it is basically impossible to have a female Genie as they are all 100% male. They do not have bras either. Those things were on their original formes, it seems more like chest hair anyway. Plus guys can have belly button rings too.
Unless it gets locked into Defiant.
They could be female forms that we haven't discovered yet. Why is everyone asserting these forms can be altered? We have TONS of unalterable forms (Gastrodon, Basculin, Unown) and we've already seen aesthetic distinctions between male and female sprites. It's not "basically impossible" at all. Either way, they come off as incredibly feminine to me, in particular Thundurus. Just looks like Kim Kardashian on the beach or something. Blah.
But none of those pokemon were legendary; more importantly, it seems that like many other legendaries, there is only one of each of the Kami trio. (I don't count the anime as canon, so the multiple Lugia don't count.) So, if there is only one of each, then the formes should logically be alterable.
I'm guessing that maybe the new formes come with a held item or something that allows them to change forme. Like Giratina in Platinum. That could keep the formes exclusive to the AR searcher and to BW2, so that would solve that problem.
The beast forms of the kamis are actually pretty cool. I am pleased. I hope they don't just end up being superior versions of the other forms...
The world tournament thing is awesome! I wonder if they will only include a few gym leaders or all of them and I wonder if any members of the elite 4 will appear... I've always wanted some kinda tourny involving important characters from past games. Does anyone see Brandon/RSE male below the screenshot of the battle with Gary?

That's Steven Stone.
Legendary status is irrelevant. There was no precedence for breeding legendaries until Manaphy, no precedence for alternate forms of legends until Deoxys, no precedence for unlocking a legendary using others until Regigigas. Why would this be any different? You know, generally game developers enjoy introducing new ideas and possibilities in their games. Also, if you don't count the anime as canon, that doesn't mean everyone else should disregard it. It IS canon. Plus, are you really going to base this logic on the game world? The games don't want you to have multiple of the same super-powerful Pokemon! Game balance is thrown out the window once you introduced multiple Lugia in SS. You're assuming there is only one of them, but you have absolutely NO evidence to back this up. At this point, saying something is impossible is downright narrow-minded. Neither side has any evidence to support their claims, but you're the one spewing dogmatic language about.
Predicting stats for these things:
Tornadus - 79/90/95/100/95/121 or 79/90/100/90/100/121
Thundurus - 79/110/70/140/80/101
Landorus - 89/140/90/110/80/91
Unfortunately stat-swapping doesn't work as they're actually raising Thundurus & Landorus' best stat with these forms, so it probably will end up looking like that. And by that I mean just moving points around. I really doubt they'll raise their BST.
Tornadus would make one hell of a Bulk Up user if he actually has the bulk to pull it off since that's really all he's missing right now. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that the Sacred Beasts have an entirely different move-pool from the Incarnation Formes due to them being AR Searcher-exclusive which implies there's no way to switch them between formes. It would be weird for them to keep their move-pools anyway. A bird using Hammer Arm...what?
I would love to see Rapid Spin on this forme as what spins more than a tornado? It would definitely give Beast Tornadus a powerful niche over it's brothers and it's Incarnation forme.
Base 101 Speed Thundurus would be completely manageable and might actually give Lightning Rod Zapdos some healthy competition in the future. A stupidly powerful Thunder would be it's biggest draw, but on the off chance it keeps Prankster, that sweet, sweet Priority Thunder Wave will definitely see some action in OU. If it's Defiant...meh. It could make a mad cute Scarfmon just like Landorus does for Sand.
DJ Beasty with Base 91 Speed gives it's promised Attack boost without making Incarnation Landorus entirely pointless. Beast Landorus may end up being the new Choice Scarf user due to the extra power it gets, but a Sub Sword Dance set could potentially be more destructive than Incarnation's, hitting like SD Haxorus.
But we'll see in a little over a month what happens for real in terms of those 3. I have high hopes though.
