Just happened on Pokemon Smash the TV show. Coming out in June for Nintendo DS. Two new forms of Kyurem:

Pokemans...

I is disappoint.



Thank Arceus it's for DS though, yet another reason for me to hold off on 3DS! : D

 

[leroidys]

How long is it usually until we get actual details about the game?

 

[The M.O.B]

Hate playing DS games with blackbars on 3DS :/

 

[bduddy]

Serebii is filled with a bunch of hacks.

Back when HG/SS (I think it was anyways) came out in japan, Serebii mysteriously got their review copies about an hour and a half after the games had leaked out on the internet. When I popped onto their forums and made a thread wondering how the hell a western fan-site got their copies before anyone else (making the obvious implications there), I got banned for like a month.

And then they posted about the anti-piracy "no XP" thing without realizing what it was, leading to a C&D from Nintendo until they actually bought the game. Remember that?

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

So I'm guessing we're traveling to a nearby country?

TAKE YOUR GUESSES PEOPLE CANADA OR MEXICO

From Anville Town, we could either go to the Rust Belt, New England, or the Chesapeake Bay area for a new region counterpart to Unova. I think the whole Great Lakes/Rust Belt region would be the best choice, as we could try more wintery stuff alongside more water routes and such.

I'm not too surprised that, considering how large Game Freak is now, they can do something like this while developing Gen VI in their backyard. Let's hope that's the case.

 

[udivision]

Shock wearing off... This is kind of cool. Rather than "new hat!" third offering, they're actually going ot expand on the games while keeping it in the same gen? Maybe make enhancements without worrying about adding new mons? I guess it's not too bad...

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

Damn. I was hoping for something DS-related. And here I thought the DS would be dead after SMT: DS2. And they're coming out soon, too!
Now that I think about it, at least the reveal wasn't a new TCG Deck or something like that.

 

[Nori Chan]

So you're telling me I still don't have to buy a 3DS?

i aint even mad

 

[Professor Fog]

Nuts. I would have bought a 3DS for this.

 

[Uno Venova]

I never thought I'd see they day they'd use a color twice. Not on 3DS is surprising, I would have had a 3DS in my sights if it was.

 

[rdrr gnr]

What?

 

[MatthewB92]

And then they posted about the anti-piracy "no XP" thing without realizing what it was, leading to a C&D from Nintendo until they actually bought the game. Remember that?

lol yea. He said it was a feature.

 

[Coldnoodle]

YES! YES! YES! THANK YOU BASED HO-OH!

So what does a Pokemon numbered sequel mean exactly? Lots of new pokemon? New region? D:

 

[Codeblue]

I wonder if 3DS sales will spike anyway when it comes out. Should be interesting

 

[shadyspace]

Well, glad I still got my Phat.

 

[davepoobond]

it's actually called pokemon 2 black and 2 white.

ahhahaha excellent.

 

[Mafro]

Nintendo are in disarray.

 

[botty]

ORGEN.

REDEEMED.

How ...?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Now I wonder if there's something going on between The Pokemon Company and Nintendo. This is so strange and doesn't really make any sense for Nintendo.

As I've said a billion times before and was just proven, Nintendo doesn't dictate anything to Game Freak. They're partners, not master and slave.

 

[sorijealut]

->

 

[Vigilance]

Eh needs a better name.

 

[Anth0ny]

ORGEN. REDEEMED.

 

[Keyouta]

Will you start the game as a beginner trainer again? I wonder how the story progresses, does it start from the end of B/W? Also, disappointed in no 3DS release Guess the ruby and sapphire remakes will be the first.

 

[Jeels]

DS? Not interested. Black didn't even advance the series enough for me after D/P which for some reason I was impressed with.

I think I'm pretty much done with Pokemon unfortunately unless it fundamentally changes.

 

[GSR]

 

[Busaiku]

I hope these get some 3DS stuff.
At least full screen on 3DS.

PLEASE

 

[darkside31337]

So you're telling me I still don't have to buy a 3DS?

i aint even mad

They're even telling you to not buy their new games too.

I would have bought a 3DS for a new Pokemon game. Bummer. Really dumb move.

 

[Electivirus]

So hyped! If these are actual sequels, imma jizz myself.

And that's, what, four mainline Pokemon titles (grouping together versions) for the DS? NINTENDO DS CONFIRMED FOR BEAST MODO

And holy shit, that June release! So early! Hopefully, it gets localized this year as well. :O

 

[vall03]

connectivity for the inevitable Gray on 3DS!

Spoiler

Believe!

 

[Huff]

im really curious about the details. same main character? same gyms? why should i buy these

 

[Boney]

man this is too much even for me

 

[mclem]

So... what actually makes this a sequel and not a new game? Same setting?

Is this, effectively, Pokémon: Brotherhood?

connectivity for the inevitable Gray on 3DS!

Spoiler

Believe!

Gray or Gray 2?

 

[upandaway]

I'm so satisfied right now. Glad I stayed for the show.

I wonder if it's still in Unova.

 

[clemenx]

This means they will take their time in making a good 3D world and models for a proper 3DS game... I'm ok with this.

 

[Wichu]

Teaser site is up. Somebody rip those artworks stat!

 

[Conor 419]

My mind is fucking blown. I could have never predicted this.

June 2012? DS? Possibly a trilogy?!?

Will this game have a new region? If so, why is it called Black/White 2? If not, why isn't it just a single game (Grey)?

Coro Coro has a lot of explaining to do.

Where did you get 'trilogy' from, because a lot of youtube commenters used the term as it was announced live.

If it's a trilogy then WTF.

 

[Oni Link 666]

http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/b2w2/

It says 3DS on the bottom. ?

 

[Pappasman]

So im assuming that B2W2 will be in unova again. This makes sense. Game freak didn't want to create a whole new region and would rather add content to their completed work.

Im hype though. This sounds really great. My DSi looks like its still got some life after all.

 

[Natiko]

Now that it's sunk in a bit this just seems pointless. If they wanted to do a sequel they should have kept it as one game. I doubt they're going to be adding in a bunch of new pokemon so the game split seems unnecessary.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

ORGEN.

REDEEMED.

What makes you so certain that Nintendo and Game Freak have gone batshit insane?

Absolute crazy talk.

Really guys? You're buying this Black and White 2 stuff from a guy speculating on Vita and iOS mainstream Pokemon?

Come on.

people kept saying black and white 2 and i was thinking it was possible because microsoft doesn't have its own handheld and they've been making games for the nintendo handhelds for the last decade or so, but then i saw it meant pokemon black 2 and pokemon white 2 and that's even dumber.

it will be grey

it will be on the 3ds

and we will be finding out about it in the next week or so

probably

I hope you get banned if this is bullshit.

oh my god pokemon b&w 2 for ds has to be the worst rumor i have ever read on gaf

Seriously what the fuck.

It makes negative sense.

Seriously, it makes absolutely no sense.

Holy shit

 

[udivision]

Eh needs a better name.

Pokemon Black Vigilance and White Knight

 

[GSR]

http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/b2w2/

It says 3DS on the bottom. ?

It says, "can also be enjoyed on Nintendo 3DS". Same thing is on the Nobunaga site.

 

[ColtraineGF]

I dig the logos.



I have some crow for you losers, why don't you have some?

It doens't count, this isn't Grey.

<_<

>_>

 

[BassForever]

Now that my initial shock is over, I must say I'm kind of glad we're getting a sequel, I really enjoyed B/W's story and want to see those characters (particularly N) get a follow up

 

[Uno Venova]

ugly

Holy shit

haha, so good.

 

[Tuck]

I wonder how much of a sequel it will be. Gold/Silver style or more direct?

No, they're doing something smart for once.

How is this smart? Pokemon on 3DS would make the handheld's sales go into the stratosphere.

 

[-WindYoshi-]

I never thought I'd see they day they'd use a color twice.

Not everything is so black & white, when it comes to black & white.

 

[vall03]

Holy shit

my god, the thread was glorious! lol

 

[farnham]

I like the decision

3ds players can still play it on their system and for 3ds Idlike a real update rather then a 3ds game that is just a BW with some random 3ds features retrofitted in. im perfectly fine if that game hits 1 or 2 years from now

 

[g.r.e.]

Way to sell those 3DS, Ninty.
