Snivy, Oshawott and Tepig are the Pokemon Black & White starter Pokemon Nintendo has revealed. They will be the Pokemon you begin your adventure with (selecting one of the three) when the games are released out in the West in Spring 2011.

In addition to the official English Pokemon names, they’ve also revealed the English names of two new Legendary Pokemon: Zekrom and Reshiram.

There’s also this blurb about the new world you’ll be exploring in the game.

“Your adventures take place in the Unova region, located far away from teh Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh regions. The region is mostly covered by greenery and is dotted with modern cities with many bridges that allow you to access various parts of the Unova region. People in the Unova region live in harmony with many previously unseen Pokemon. Plus, most of the Pokemon from other regions don’t appear int he Unova region.- so you’ll encounter new Pokemon all the time!”
