Nintendo have promised a "Dark and sinister" plot for the game, a "serious plot, because Pokémon is serious business".

Nintendo have promised a "dark and sinister" plot for the game, a "serious plot, because Pokémon is serious business." While some fans have expressed reservations over this, given similar promises made regarding Pokémon Colosseum which some mature fans feel were not kept, it is impossible to know at this point what the plot actually is, and thus impossible to actually comment on its maturity level. One can safely speculate, however, that once again, the plot will involve "snagging" dark Pokémon and purifying them.

Additionally, Nintendo of America has released a number of new screenshots. Several previously released screenshots have also been released in a higher resolution.
