The site also shows us two new legendary Pokémon that were just reveiled in Japan too. Reshiram is the white Pokémon in the picture and will be on the cover of Pokémon Black. Zekrom is the black Pokémon and will appear on the cover of Pokémon White. Yes it seems backwards.

Nintendo of Europe has announced that PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure will be released in Europe on July 9, 2010. There is no information on it coming to the United States at this time.

Quote from NOE Article
Get ready to run, jump, and smash your way through Pikachu's latest action-packed adventure for all ages when PokéPark™ Wii: Pikachu's Adventure launches on Wii on 9 July.

Playing as Pikachu, you must solve the crisis that has befallen a strange new place, the PokéPark. Along the way, you'll befriend key Pokémon as you take part in Skill Games and the many challenging Attractions to be found in the PokéPark.

Up until recently, the PokéPark was protected by an item called the Sky Prism. But the Sky Prism shattered, and its pieces were spread all across the PokéPark. In order to save this magical place, you, as Pikachu, will need to explore the PokéPark and collect all of the Sky Prism Pieces.

PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure is the first Pokémon adventure title for Wii. As well as pulling you into a deep and engaging action adventure story, you will meet and talk to a wide variety of Pokémon.

As you work your way through the story, you'll explore various zones within the PokéPark, each very different to the last. Whether in Beach Zone, Iceberg Zone, Lava Zone or Haunted Zone, you'll find various Attractions, which comprise the main challenges in the game.

Each Attraction is a mini-game, such as a footrace, a test of strength or an obstacle course, designed to test your skills to the max. Beating the high score in an Attraction is often a way of receiving a Sky Prism Piece. Shake and tilt the Wii Remote to fly, swim and skate your way through a whole host of fun Attractions, such as:

- Rhyperior's Bumper Burn - Pokémon fight on a stage. You have to try to push opponent Pokémon off the stage!
- Bulbasaur's Daring Dash - What could be better than a Pokémon footrace! Shake the Wii Remote to accelerate.
- Salamence's Air Ace - Shoot airborne targets while flying high in the sky during this intense shooting game! Hitting targets while controlling the Pokémon is a serious test of your skills.
- Venusaur's Vine Swing - Timing is everything in this test of your vine-swinging skills. Get the momentum right if you want to achieve a long jump.
- Gyarados' Aqua Dash - Race against the clock, avoiding obstacles and using boosts to set the fastest time you can on this aquatic course!

For those of us in the US, it is probably safe to say we will get it around July 9th as well.

While most of us have already had the Jirachi disitribution in our area, Europe and Australia are still left. Well, at least Europe is now. Toys"R"Us has revealed in their catalogue that Jirachi will be distributed in June.

According to the page, Jirachi will be distributed in stores from June 3 to June 13. It does not say if it is limited to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum or if HeartGold and SoulSilver can also receive the event.

It is safe to say that this Jirachi is going to be identical to recent distributions and it will unlock the Pokéwalker course, Night Sky's Edge.

There is also another promotion going on. You can also buy Pokémon Plush dolls for $2 each. Characters vary at each store and are strictly limited.

It is no secret that Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver are popular games. The results are in for April sales and they are near the top of the U.S. video game sales list.

According to the independent NPD Group, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver are in the top five games. Pokémon SoulSilver Version came in at #2 with around 243,000 copies sold. Pokémon HeartGold Version came in at #4 with over 192,000 sold. HeartGold was just a few thousand short of #3. In case you are wondering, #3 was New Super Mario Bros. Wii at 200,000.

Keep those numbers rising Pokémon fans!

Right on schedule, the official Japanese Pokémon site has updated with clearer images shown in CoroCoro.

The first three images are Ken Sugirmori's artwork for the three starters.

There are also some pictures of battle scenes featuring Raikou and Zoroark. As you can see, it first looks like it is Raikou vs Entei. But, it is actually Zoroarak and you can see the transformation back.

To conclude this week's update, the official Celebi movie page has been updated to announce an in-game event in HeartGold and SoulSilver with Celebi and Team Rocket. It says that if you take the Celebi to the shrine in the Ilex Forest, you will go back in time to the beginnings of Team Rocket and meet a younger Giovanni.

This month's issue of CoroCoro is scheduled to be released on Saturday, but images are now leaking onto the internet of the issue. Of course, the only thing we care about is the Pokémon section featuring Black and White.

We know have one picture that features one page out of the magazine showing some of the region, the new main characters, and the three starter Pokémon.

The region is apparently called the Isshu Region. You can see the two trainers in the bottom left corner of the picture. On the right, you can see the three starters. Their names are not yet 100% confirmed but we will update this with the names.

The official Japanese Pokémon site should update either this or next Friday will clear images of the starters.
