While most details are too small to make out, some katakana characters from the legendaries' names can be deciphered-- The Diamond legendary's name seems to be ティアガガ Tiagaga. The Pearl legendary's name seems to be ルハキア Ruhakia or Luhakia. The names of the three new smaller Pokémon, seen at the top of the magazine cover, are unreadable. Next to them on the right are Buoysel, Lucario, and the two main trainers of the game.

The cover also revealed that a Perap card will be packaged with the magazine, and information on Pokémon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea: Manaphy will be provided.

Bulbanews will update with more news when it becomes available.
