Seems the rumors were true, and they're apparently on the DS.



Someone shoot me please.

http://www.pokemon.c...hite-version-2/ We might suggest the games are coming out soon after the Japanese launch.

I'm excited but it being for the DS is a little let down the 3DS has a pretty big consumer base now they could have made it for that :/

Just another image with what I assume are the mascots.

Hey, guys. Visit the official website. Now, look at the text that has 3DS in caps. In google translate, this is what it says: But I play Nintendo 3DS!

It says it's "also playable on the 3DS", which would be a no-brainer considering backwards compatibility.

It probably just means it's compatible on 3DS I hope it means something else but that's probably all it means.

Hmmm, this makes me wonder why they made a "2" instead of the usual new sequel...


Maybe a conclusion to the story with N in another land?

I think that's what they are going for with it, the story didn't really feel concluded to me.

[Zok]

Well, at least it's a new pokemon game...

This is what I'm thinking the rationale for the title is: Black 2/White 2 are sequels, and as such are continuations to the story presented in Black/White. There are also rumors of other regions being introduced, so if this is the case that'd be pretty cool.

This would actually be a really big change to the Pokemon franchise formula, I'd say.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!
WHY?!?!?

They have to make a new one.

Hopefully they'll make grey or something later for WiiU too.

That's a bit worrisome... Why change an already successful idea?

Worrisome how?

The change would be that rather than simply remaking an enhanced version, they can lengthen a generation, and keep it fresh by introducing new ideas with each sequel. It may also mean that Gamefreak wants to really emphasize more on the story component of the game rather than every game being about being the champion. You have to realize that very soon, remakes are going to be pretty weird since fourth generation is on the DS which is completely playable on the 3DS.

I'm in support of any move like that, and I love Pokemon anyway, so even if they do screw up, I wouldn't mind too much.

I don't know that Nintendo can afford to screw up right now... me thinks.

[Nin10dude712]

I am VERY dissapointed that it's not on the 3DS, but hey! New Pokemon games.. !

[Joshua]

I think that's what they are going for with it, the story didn't really feel concluded to me.

Now that you put it that way, that may be why there is a sequel to Black and White. I wonder how this is going.
Apparently this game will be set in different regions.
