There are certainly times when I wish I spoke Japanese, typically when I am watching horribly subbed episodes of Bleach online.  However, the newest gameplay footage of Pokemon Black and White has me wishing I would have taken at least one Japanese course in college instead of Classical Music.

The video which popped up on Filbe.De was originally broadcast in Japan on Pokemon Sunday. 

The gameplay footage focuses on overworld travel; showcasing the games new camera perspectives.  While the game footage is nothing to get too excited over, the Pokemon Sunday crew's antics are truly hilarious.  I can't make heads or tails of what they're saying, but the slick silver lab coats and the haircut of the guy on the left had me in stitches. 

I can only imagine if grown adults in Japan are this excited about the game then the millions of 9 year old Japanese kids watching at home were literally pissing in their faces at the footage.  There's no doubt the Pokemon series needs a overhaul, however it doesn't appear that's what you'll be getting with Black and White.

If you're down for a laugh, have a look at the video below.
