New features
- It is now known, that in Triple Battles, the position of the Pokémon in the battlefield does impact the battle: the middle one can target all three opponents while the ones at the sides can only target the opposing and middle-placed opponents. In case a middle user attacks with a move that hits all Pokémon on the field, it will hit with full power. A new ability called Telepathy [テレパシー] allows the one that has it to avoid damage from team-mates whilst a new, unnamed attack helps the team avoid group attacks such as Earthquake.
- Pokémon Global Link has apparently two modes. Using the Game Sync feature, a a select Pokémon can travel through the internet to a dream world, where the player can play mini games through their PC or befriend and capture creatures not available in the cartridge. The second mode is a random battle feature, complete with a ranking system.
- Beside Black City and White Forest, several places may vary depending on your version.
- Using the InfraRed port embedded in the game cartridge, the player can have a timed speed battle or even trade with 2 or 4 friends. Friend Codes can also be exchanged over IR.
- Similarly to the DSi’s photo editor, the player can draw on other people’s faces while using the Live Caster video chat feature, which is also to be used by in-game characters. An added option called Feeling Check, calculates the player’s compatibility and specifically, a mini-game that asks the players to keep the same rhythm is shown. (Fild.de now has a related video from the Oha Suta show)
- Japanese players, can now optionally switch their game’s text to Kanji.
- Using the High Link feature, the player will be able to interact with players all over the world (via internet) in a certain section of Isshu and help them along their missions.
- As an extra indicator to Isshu’s region remoteness, the routes have been reset and will begin with Route 1.
New characters
- Beginner trainers Belle and Cheren get their first Pokémon from prof. Araragi as well and begin their journey along the player. Belle is described as a rather unreliable, spontaneous person that goes on the journey against her father’s wishes. Cheren is intelligent, helpful and intends to be the Isshu Champion.
- The enigmatic N is the player’s antagonist. He calls Pokémon his friends but apparently intends to set them free from people. He’s seeking the means to realize his dreams.
- Makomo, prof. Araragi’s assistant, gives the C Gear to the player, after completing her chores.
