1. Pokémon Black & White release is just on the corner. Gen V is almost here with version specific cities, new pokémon, redesigned city layouts and interactivity! Less than 2 weeks man, less than 2 weeks.
2. Pokémon events! the shiny legendary dog trio event just ended but many more are on the horizon! from now to the 8th of march (I believe) you can download Celebi from any gamestop location as well as Victini (a Gen V legendary) will be available starting march 6th, and the Zoroark event can be triggered by trading one of the shiny legendary dogs to your B&W game.
3. Starting soon players will be able to play an online version of the Pokémon TCG. There will be several starter decks to choose from at release with more available in subsequent updates. it's stated the decks will be customizable but to what extent isn't yet known.
4. Did I mention new pokémon?? Ha!
