I didn't think it was zekroms cry, I thought it was a whole new cry altogether.
What if Overdrive "charges" Black and White Kyurem so they don't have to charge for Ice Burn and Freeze Shock?
For those speculating about a "DW Tutor", I'd like to point out that since whether a Pokemon gets its Hidden Ability is determined by a flag(0x66 hex I think). so a character who could activate it is not impossible, though it's unlikely.
Hmm... After re-listen it, it sound like Zekrom cry but shorter.
(OMG, new form cries after Shaymin!)
Achroma does kinda look like Ghetsis, but I doubt it is. He doesn't have that cybernetic eye thingy, but it could have been helping Ghetsis's goals. Would be quite the plot twist if Achroma was an enemy, but since we don't know any other info, this is all just speculation. :3
Considering the fact that the new professor guy is interested in Pokémon Abilities (and that we're getting the same starters yet again), I think it makes sense that the starter Pokémon will have their Hidden Abilities. You know, to make the experience using them entirely different from BW1.
I'm also gonna predict that the professor will at some point give you a key item with which to make encountered wild Pokémon have their Hidden Abilities.
On to actually confirmed information: SWEET ARCEUS THOSE ANIMATED TRAINER SPRITES. The intro scene (where it says "GameFreak Presents") is also fantastic.
And now for my desired Black 2 team thus far (assuming DW starters):
Snivy
Azurill
Riolu
EDIT: Oh snap, never mind about starters having DW abilities. Just remembered Oshawott used Tail Whip on Snivy in the video, and it did lower Defense. No Contrary Snivy for me. ;-;

Not just you, it looks like Ghetsis cut and died his hair, while the explanation for the eye color would be either his method of escape or the new art style.
Achroma might actually work for Team Plasma. You never know. They never technically disbanded, since Ghetsis is still at large, and the Ninja Triad are still out there. The scientist that revived Genesect is still at large too.
I'm using Google Chrome to translate the story page on the website, and it says Hiougi stands for Blackberry Lily. Just an observation. Also, I'm really liking the rival sprite. What looks like a movie theater is probably the gym. At 1:47 in the trailer, is that a cyborg Tyranitar? Any ideas what that square area surrounded by grass containing a Minccino is? Also, based on the cutscene for Black & White Kyurem, they are definitely in a new location. Thoughts?
Watch the video. There is a charge turn and they even emphasize it by, before the attack works, cutting back and showing it charge up.
Hmm... so they made some new animations, cool.
I really hope they fix the sprites of some Pokemon.
They should use HG/SS sprites from the old Pokes and not the ones from DPPt.
Aerodactyl, Omastar, Nidoking, Sandslash, Kangaskhan and many others looked soo good in HG/SS, but looked like **** in B/W. Aerodactyl even had an unfinished animation (just look at his tail... but the sprite itself looks really bad, his face... yuck).

Random thoughts:
N left for another region with his dragon.
Main Character HAS to catch the other dragon, barring all boxes being full.
Could something have happened to the MC of the previous game? I presume B2 will follow Black, and W2 will follow White.
Also, Frozen Unova... the pokemon leuage is in the frozen area... interesting.
Also, poor Young Juniper. First female Professor, and gets upstaged by her father, who's more renowned than her. Then there's this new professor who lives in a big city for B/W2, who, since he lives in a big city and not some 4 building village, probobly upstages Juniper too.
---
Random I wants:
Dark Gym. 41st~48th's time's the charm
A large amount of variety early. B/W didn't have that. In fact, it's variety was poor. It seems like some non-Unova pokemon are wild [unless said clips are post-national dex and Trollfreak is Trolling], but I'm really hoping for earlygame diversity, rather than 3 mon choice, one of which being utterly useless [Purrloin...]
Cheren as the champion. Especially if my theory about something happening to the MC of the previous game is true. Being the champion was Cheren's goal after all, I personally think it would be nice to see Cheren have acheived it. Even a mention of him being an Ex-champion at some time over the 2 years would be nice.

This would have been a good idea, to set these starters apart from the ones we were presented with in BW.
NO! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, runs Leer/Growl/Tail Whip at the start of the games, giving Contrary to a starter would be a plasbad idea.
I also don't think the new Prof will be a DW Tutor, Nintendo would not want to make the Dream World even more useless than it is now, I do think he will be researching DW abilities though so maybe a new way of getting DW abilities? Perhaps B2/W2 DW will have different Pokemon in everyone's DW to promote trading rather than the current "everyone can find everything that's released"?
Tbh, I've always found that tweet suspicious. Didn't they say one time that we wouldn't be getting G/S remakes? I personally think Hoenn in not in the games(but I would never be so happy to be wrong), but it wouldn't be the first time they have lied to us.
The tweet just refers to Hoenn in Unova remakes. They never denied 3rd gen remakes and in another tweet it was confirmed that "They were interested in working on it" or something like that to some extent.
What's a likely candidate for an alt forme, or even a set of formes like Rotom?
I was thinking about Druddigon, since both of its Pokedex entries allude at its rock-like skin. Could be interesting.

The item that Achroma said he created might be one that changes a pokemon's ability to their DW ability or something.
Maybe he was trying to do good and this item will be used by the new antagonist to access the dream world and/or dream world Pokemon. There could be some interesting gameplay elements if you go to Entree Forest and it's completely different as a result of the villain entering the area.
What I don't understand is why are you gonna fight Achroma in a battle frontier like building? Is he a brain?
Wait, do we have to battle Achroma or something? Or is it like a Pokémon Musical thing?
Well the thing is, Dream World Pokemon aren't exactly accessible to your average Pokemon fan. You have to put in a fair few hours to even get to areas like Windswept Sky. I know when I was a kid, playing the same mini games over and over again would become fairly boring. And there are still a crap-ton of unreleased abilities.
Just pointing some things out
There's a lake or some body of water next to the Pokemon League now.
There seems to be another body of water where a cloud used to be above Lacunosa Town.
Part of Route 13 seems to have drifted away into an island with part of the route extending directly above it.
It might just be the ice, but Giant Chasm seems a lot bigger since there's a larger dark area where it was.
I think it's safe to say that the ice, if it's actually there, is going to all melt away.
