Note: Although im not fluent in Japanese, im preety sure i got these right.
Took a look at the Pokemon BW new regulation pdf which contains all the basic rules for the game (like a starter instruction booklet) and saw some interesting rule changes for the game
http://www.pokemon-card.com/howto/playrule/pdf/official_rule_BW.pdf
- Players can now play trainers first turn (since in BW supporters (now called supports) and stadiums now are classified as trainers, one can play any of the 3 types first turn.
example, open sableye, collector, unown dark, crobats, and belt.
- Rare candy cannot be played first turn neither player and cannot be used on pokemon just played same turn.
- powers bodies no longer exist , merged into one again. based off a card scan from actual set in the pdf of the grass starters stage 2.
supports (i.e supporters) now discarded immediatly after play.
-however erratas were issued for cards relying for those such as jirachi RR or bucks training
- prize drawing steps kinda changed , one used to draw a prize after opponents pokemon was discarded and replacement active was sent out, now it is drawn before they promote the new active.
- Japans format is now HGSS-on
Also based on rulebook seems like no new type of pokemon (EX pokemon, or LVL X), mentions legends in it only because of hgss being legal still.
Ill see if i missed anything later on or someone can post if they catch something else
Few translations for cards in pdf
Staaja
leaf blade 10 , flip if heads 30 more
Jarooda 130hp grass
stage 2
ability - royal heal - all pokemon heal 10 in between turns (stacking legal?? no mention of it)
GC grass misaki - 60
move any ammount of grass attached to your pokemon to any other pokemon as you wish
Full restore - trainer (mantan no kusuri) not sure if exactly full restore
Heall a pokemon completly, discard all energy attached to it.
--Professor Aragi - Support
Discard your hand, draw 7
--Pokemon Center - Stadium
At the end of each players turn, that player heals 10 of each of their bench poke
