With the release of Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition (ポケモン＋ノブナガの野望) only a few days away, a ton of new information about the game has been revealed in various magazines and on the official website. The game will be released in Japan on March 17th, 2012 and it features an all new system for Pokémon battles, known as "Combat" (イクサ). Below is all the newly revealed information.
Officers make Pokémon their partners. Pokémon and officers share a bond called a "link"; if their link is strong, they will be able to draw out each others powers. The link has a maximum limit deterined through the compatability of officer and Pokémon, so discovering the "Best Link Pokémon", the one they are 100% linked to, is one of the things officers aim for. Our characters page has been updated with the information about these officers.
The Weekly Famitsu 1215 (週刊ファミ通 1215号) posted more characters and officers that were also revealed on the official website. Nothing other than their name and Pokémon partner was revealed though. Our characters page will be updated when more information about these officers is revealed.

Distribution of the pencilboard starts Saturday the 24th, so I'll guess they're at least going to bring it up on this Sunday's episode.
Given that the entire episode is based around the game, showing them creating the imagery on it shouldn't be too out of place, either.
