The official Pokémon Youtube Channel has posted a teaser trailer for the next English dub series Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies. The series starts on February 18th, 2012 on Cartoon Network in the United States. New foes, new friends, and dozens of never-before-seen Pokémon await Ash and Pikachu in Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies.

The first three episode titles for the series were also announce: Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!, Battle-Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym! and Lost at the Stamp Rally!. The trailer for the season is posted below.

Nice of them to post a '1080p' video for the trailer yet never actually release the previous series on Bluray, only poorly encoded DVD's. We're just *finally* getting Bluray's of some of the movies now. Hopefully they'll *eventually* release the series on Bluray.

Viz might as well upload the movies on YouTube if they are so cheap to press blu-ray for sales. This way we'll get our 1080p. -_-;

Does anyone think the first episode title for this show sounds a bit Engrish-y? It's missing the ''the''.

The official trailer for Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies was taken down off the official YouTube account for Pokémon by ShoPro, the Japanese distributor of the Pocket Monsters anime. It could just be a case of YouTube automatic scanner detecting scenes in the trailer that match content that ShoPro has got indexed for removal on YouTube though, so we'll give them the benefit of the doubt. It is funny though that the official trailer has been taken down due to copyright infringement. Just shows how stupid intellectual property protection has got lately.

I will leave the video embedded still as I assume TPCi will be getting this video unblocked by YouTube.

Trailer's back online now... good thing you took a screenshot! ;)
