A silhouette of a new Pokémon was shown by Junichi Masuda on the February 7, 2010, episode of Pokémon Sunday, stated to be in the upcoming film for the summer and to be identified in a future episode on February 21.[7] This new character would also be featured in the March 2010 issue of CoroCoro Comic available on February 15, and is the start of the fifth generation of the Pokémon franchise. Since then, the character has been named "Zoroark" (ゾロアーク, Zoroāku), and it evolves from a character named "Zorua" (ゾロア, Zoroa). Both are to be featured in Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl The Movie: Phantom Ruler: Zoroark.[8][9] On April 9, 2010, the official Pokémon website updated with the titles of the game versions, Black and White, and later on April 15 released several screenshots from the new games.[2] This was also printed in the May issue of CoroCoro Comic.[10] Pokemon Sunday showed the protagonist walking around in a 3-D environment, as well as a Zoroark in battle.[11]
