Masuda took to Pokemon Smash to play through the beginning of Pokemon Black 2 and White 2, and some other battle footage was shown. Find the full story at: http://pldh.net/home/archive/140412

Where are you seeing these sprites?

[Ze Colonel]

I'm just looking at the sprites these Pokemon have in Black and White.

Most Pokemon took their fourth generation sprites and had animations placed around them. This is what happened to Eevee:


(Platinum -> BW)

But for other Pokemon, they have sprites that are completely new. Some of the changes are small, like the placement of Pelipper's wing or the way they coloured Espeon's sprite. Or perhaps they were flipped around, like Vaporeon and Absol. Others are just completely new:
