Brand new Pokémon for the new generation of Pokémon titles!

We've already reported that a brand new generation of Pokémon games, with yet more new monsters to catch and battle, are being prepped for unveiling imminently. Breaking tradition, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has confirmed the games will still be released on the DS, the same platform as the current generation of Pokémon titles.

The world will get its first official look at some of the new fifth generation critters on February 21st, as Japanese weekly TV show Pokemon Sunday will reveal the mysterious silhouette below. We'll also be keeping an eye on the next CoroCoro magazine (out on the 15th) which the picture below claims may reveal all first.

The silhouette in question belongs to the mysterious fifth-generation Pokémon code-named "Z", star of the upcoming thirteenth Pokémon movie: "The Ruler of Illusion: Z".

Two new Pokémon have been fully revealed by early leaked scans of the above mentioned CoroCoro magazine, which has itself confirmed the leaks are genuine. Welcome your first new Pokémon in several years below:

The critters above are Zorua and its evolution Zoroark, both Dark type Pokémon with the classifications of "Evil Fox Pokémon" and "Monster Fox Pokémon" respectively. The two will be starring in the next Pokémon movie, out this year in Japan, now confirmed as being titled: "The Ruler of Illusion: Zoroark".
