Not sure what that has to do with it since Nintendo doesn't handle the localization of Pokémon titles anymore.

This is a version beyond Black. You can call it... Black 2.
Couldn't you say the same about the PS2 & PS3? Should Square have developed FFXIII for PS2 instead just because it had a larger install base?

Pokemon Company Translates the games I'm pretty sure.

Isn't this exactly the sort of game we were all expecting? It's Pokemon Gray in all but name.

Black & White 2 for DS. R/S/E remake for 3DS. I can see the logic in this.
That and also MS's money helped an awful lot.
I think this is kinda like God of War 2 scenario here, though. Simply Game Freak most likely doesn't have an engine on the 3ds running yet and they do on the DS. So instead of making us wait for the next generation for ages they are releasing these two games on the DS.
Having said that they really should have released them much much sooner

It's also true. And I hope that a new engine will allow more things, to make this serie evolve. I hope more detailled towns, more NPC, 3D battle, but fast battles.

Cmon, thats being a bit drastic isnt it?here we have the move that will re-launch Vita in japan
how non-sense for the 3ds system, honestly.
to me, I'll not pick up the game, I'll wait for a real "3ds" title, hoping for some improvement on the graphic and structure of the brand.
I thought it was going to be on 3DS, with all of the modern graphics/online that comes with that.
Maybe instead of been DSi enhanced it will be 3DS enhanced?
To be fair, they were never going to do that for the third version even if it was on 3DS. The most they would do for a third version on 3DS is make it widescreen, have the C-Gear use streetpass and maybe give away event Pokemon would spotpass.
They wouldn't overhaul the graphics just for a third version, they are saving that for the next generation or a R/S remake if they ever do that when they get a chance to do a new engine for the 3DS instead of having to make sure it is still compatible with Black and White.
uhm. yes
it was "drama", but you know? this means postpone a big hit (maybe the biggest of 'em all!) for 3ds until 2013 (late 2013). not so smart in the actual strategy of nintendo with the 3ds that is aiming to chocke vita from the beginning.
that said, I don't want to poison this thread with sales-age prediction, eventually I'll keep'em for the media-create threads.
from a consumer point of view, I'll wait for the real 3ds title, that's not drastic

...lol? DS? Really?... I can't stop giggling at this.
saw a bunch a people asking why they were doing this(black and white 2 and not just grey and why on Ds and not 3DS) and being someone with general sense id like to answer the concerns.

putting out two pokemon games with almost virtually no production cost difference and and a system with a bigger install base = more money guys. its a smart move on their part.

I rarely care about stories in games, let alone a Pokemon game.
I also never beaten a Pokemon game.

Would be nice if Nintendo was willing to have a faster localization for B/W2 so the rest of the world doesn't have to play a DS game in 2013.

They thing that made Black and white good was how new everything did feel with only new pokemon I think ill skip this one, and hope they do same for the next real new gen
No info yet, but the 2 implies a new adventure.
I kinda expected a Grey as well, but I guess I'll be buying White this year.

Wow. Why DS?
Great news anyway.

You're the reason Black/White was a straight line.
But the mons look the same as in B&W?

I wonder if these will be nintendo's last games for the DS?

What can they do with the DS games at this point that would warrant me getting these games 2 years into the 3DS's life?
Add in the features they forgot to add to BW like Pokemon following you? Make it so that you can plaint and grow berries ingame? Expand upon the damn story (that though I liked I wouldn't care to buy a game just because of it)? The best they COULD do is make this a mixture of BW and RS ... like a half RS remake half BW 3rd game that makes a part 2 to the story following N.
I don't think anyone here fails the understand the reasoning behind this (greed), but that doesn't mean we should be happy about this.
I think the way they are handling the franchise is disappointing and lazy. I get why they are doing this, but I don't like it nonetheless.

Great news since I'd rather import, I don't get the reactions.

All they have to do for me is kick the cgear out of the bottom screen. That would just be fantastic.
Honestly, they kinda have to seeing the power of the 3DS is RE Revelations and KH Dream Drop Distance. If they don't then it's probably gonna be the biggest disappointment in the 3DS library

Yeah, it's much easier to develop a potentially proper sequel to a game for the first time in the franchise's history, rather than add a battle frontier and a few other elements to an existing game and call it a day.
This is a much better option than the traditional "Grey", and they were never going to update the graphics for the 3DS for the 3rd version, anyway.
Jeez, I can't stand the self-righteous, fan-wank entitlement going on.
Pokemon has never pushed the graphics of the system it's on. While I expect a reasonably big bump from BW2 to Gen 6, it likely won't be anywhere near the level of RE:E or KH3D.

This reminds me of Super Mario Galaxy 2: maybe B&W2 was born as extension and after a while it became big enough to be called a game.
oh yeah i know, i was just using those two games as an example of what the hardware is capable of.

So many questions regarding these games...
1 - If it's the same characters, what happens to their old Pokemon and what do they do in the game? They can't go round doing the gyms again, that wouldn't make sense
2 - If it's new characters (maybe with cameos of the old ones), we as players have done the gyms already so that wouldn't be fun either
3 - If it's a new region, what ties it to the first Black and White?
When I think about it, BW kind of ended abruptly for me; Ghetsis just disappeared, N flew off and it seemed like things weren't really over. So it kind of makes sense for there to be a sequel, and I'm really interested to see what they do with it. They could completely change the formula of the games with this one because it's a direct sequel (presumably).

1.They do this by making a new region.
2.If it is in the same region the gym leaders would hopefully have new pokemon.
3.N. He still has a legendary. Pokemon doesn't have the best story but somethings are left unanswered in B/W and they might be answered in B/W2.
