Pokemon Black 2 and White 2

[Tetsuya]

Because a good portion of the Internet seems to be exploding over it.

Yes, Black 2 and White 2. Not Grey. Not a new third version. Black 2 and White 2.

The only details so far are that they will be for the DS and feature the above Pokemon- new forms of Kyurem called Black Kyurem and White Kyurem respectively. Scans revealing the Rival, Main Characters, and a Gym Leader(girl with guitar) have also recently surfaced, as well as some other bits. These new versions will be released in Japan in June/July 2012, and in the U.S./Europe this Fall. And yes, this is very legit- here's the link to the official Japanese website.

So, are you excited? Are you enraged? Can you careless about Pokemon? Let's hear it.

It.... looks like....

it looks like they chopped off all of Dialga's spines and slapped them onto the white/black legendaries.

This makes me sad. What makes me even more sad....is that I'll still probably play it.

Oh conflict inside me...

[Tetsuya]

Personally, I'm just glad they turned out to be new forms of Kyurem. I freaking love Reshiram, and I'd be sad if they screwed with its design at all

Also, I noticed that the logos look sort of gem-like...given that and the hints about Hoenn in B/W, perhaps we'll be able to go to Hoenn in these versions.

[Mary Sue]

I WOULD LOVE THAT! Hoenn was my favorite region.

Honestly, I don't like how they just spliced the legendaries.

I really don't think it's gonna be very good at all...

Unless of course they include a FANTASTIC storyline. [possibly with N returning?]

[Tetsuya]

I'm guessing it'll likely be a continuation of the story, yes, though since I haven't beat B/W yet, I'm not sure what they could do with it.

But yeah. Right now the only thing we can do is speculate, since they haven't revealed much.

The curtain of disappointment draped over me when I heard of this. I mean, I half expected it, and just because they aren't doing the 'grey' third installment... I'm still not too excited. I mean, I have bought most pokemon games in the past anyway, including White, but I will watch it for details anyway.

If anything, it's a shame they didn't at least move it to 3DS to take advantage of some possible new tech. Though, if they were just gonna use the flat sprites to 'pop out' with the 3D-- I wouldn't be surprised if they did--then it may as well stay on DS. ^^;

*lurks around internet for researchness*

[Tetsuya]

They've already said they wont be doing any fancy 3D stuff- it's too difficult to do.

Although, they HAVE hinted that it might be 3DS Enhanced, similar to how B/W were DSi enhanced.

[XunknownX]

*mumblessomethingincomprehendibleaboutthetoodiffic ulttodothing* Nyeh. >>

DSi enhanced? I dunno what you mean unless it was some camera/microphone thingeh. o.o
Aw well, I'll look it up when I'm bored enough~

Oh, what about you then, Tetsuya? You looking forward to it or anything? Unless I completely zoned out and missed it, I mostly only saw you being happy about the new form thing?

[Tetsuya]

I don't really have an opinion right now- there's not enough info for me to decide. Although by default, I'm usually looking forward to the main Pokemon games, so.
