So Homika definitely has Koffing. I'm guessing that her second pokemon must be either Scolipede or Garbodor. (or possibly their pre evo)

[AkuromaKun]

Tonight's episode of Best Wishes confirms Homika has a Koffing in the games as the first Pokemon she sends out.

Yep. The video can be seen here. Shows brief Pokewood stuff, but it also shows a little of inside Homika's gym (digging the flashing lights) and her Koffing, as well as the gym battle music.

Cool! The battle music got a remix!

Ghestsis confirmed for Brawl. I mean BW2.

[Joshawott]

Ghetsis' return confirmed.

EDIT: Damn it, ninja'd!

[Zeb]

Huh, so I was just about to post it and you both beat me to it :P

So now we know that we use N's dragon which Kyurem will obviously use to change forme (before it was speculated, now it's confirmed, I guess). Also, Ghetsis looks funky in black.

Anyone got a translation?

This is VERY interesting... I wonder what's up with Ghetsis' new outfit. Is that some kind of icicle on him?

[Joshawott]

I had always thought that when N returned, he would be on the side of the player character. Ghetsis' return was hinted at during the end of Black/White anyway.

What I imagine will happen is, N will battle Ghetsis and lose - the resulting battle will cause Kyurem to turn into Black/White Kyurem, absorbing energy from N's dragon (hence why Black Kyurem is the cover Pokémon of Black 2, while Reshiram was Black's mascot).

"zekrom ga oshietekureta kyurem ga kurushindeiruto"

Zekrom tells me that Kyurem was injured.

From the Bulbagarden Twitter:
"Zekrom informed me that Kyurem is struggling. I won't forgive selfish people who make Pokémon suffer".

[AkuromaKun]

Skyla confirmed to be a new gym and her gym is revamped.

The two poster girls return!

I'm glad they gave her a new Gym Puzzle. Hopefully it's harder than the other one.

[Jun]

It looks like the Giant Chiasm. So Gethis will beat N, and Kyurem will absorb Zekrom/Reshiram. After, we'll have the 3D scene with Kyurom/Kyuram. Then, the region will be "frozen", and the only solution left is to take the boat to the second region.

[The Outrage]

Ghetsis' return confirmed.

EDIT: Damn it, ninja'd!

Now all I need is confirmation that Akuroma took control of the BW PC's dragon and my theory will gain more credibility to it.

[Zistal]

So Kyurem is in pain, and N seems to be implying Ghetsis is the cause... I'm inclined to believe Kyurem has always been suffering judging by the state of its body, however.

Ugh, these games cannot come out soon enough. Gamefreak is being such a cocktease with the plot.

That's what I was thinking. Cue big reveal that Kyurem is in pain because it is 'incomplete' (or its existence as 'cold energy' itself is painful) and wishes to fuse back with Reshiram and Zekrom to relieve itself of this pain--and Ghetsis is manipulating Kyurem because it's in too much pain to really care.
