On Tuesday, America's Cartoon Network posted a 45-second preview at the English dub for the upcoming North American premiere of Pokemon: Black and White!. (The preview is preceded by an ad.) The clip is taken from the first episode of the season where the main character Ash meets his newest rival, Trip (Shooti in Japanese), and begins his adventure by choosing a starting Pokémon.
The anime, known as Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes! in Japan, also introduces the franchise's fifth generation of Pokémon from the upcoming Pokemon: Black and White! DS games. The clip includes starters Tepig, a fire-based pig; Oshawott, a water-based otter; and Snivy, a grass-based lizard. The series is set to debut on Cartoon Network on Saturday, February 12.
