Pokemon Black and White 2-Now with a sexy rival.

[Spiral]

not sure if trolling

Not trolling haha I'm serious.

[Yorckie]

Does anyone have the 3DS or even the DS?

3DS here. Yes, worth the months of starvation.

So much to expect from these guys I can't even... lol I can't even give form to an expectation. All I'm dying to hear of is the existence of a new Battle Frontier with diverse facilities and a good-close-enough/way-more-awesome Frontier Brain Battle Music ala HG/SS one.

[Chicocl]

The games are prequels, the new forms of kyurem are actually the state between the separation of zekrom and reshiram from him.

Good to know. I've been dying to get back into some type of handheld/console gaming and I think the 3DS may be a good start. Are the old DS games compatible with the 3DS (I'm assuming they are since Nintendo has done that in the past)?

How soon do you guys think they'll release 3DS versions of Sapphire and Ruby or other DS games?

[Solarboy]

They will probably release them in about 1-2 years. And yes, the DS games can be played on the 3DS.

[Lozmaster]

It's not a 3DS game?... Really? That's a major downer.

It was bad enough that they didn't hold the original Black and white backa month and make them 3DS launch games, but making the sequels DS games too, almost a year and a half (when these actually come out) after the 3DS launch is just stupid.

[Celan]

MFW:
DAFUQ. DAFUQDAFUQDAFUQ.
This is confusing.

It's DS, not 3DS? No need to buy another console.
I, as a proud DS owner, am happy another NormalDS game comes out. It's not THAT suprising, because required to buy ultra-new console for follow-up game of a DS game just kinda trashes the storyline.

you kidding me? i don't want to be forced to buy a new console just to play pokemon, the fact that i can play it in my regular DS is probably the main reason i'll be getting it.

You don't want to buy a new console just to play pokemon? Then why aren't you still only playing pokemon red/blue/yellow? You don't buy a new console JUST to play any single game, I agree. But using 8 year old hardware compared to the 1 year old 3DS is moronic at best.

"Trashes the storyline"?Sequels on follow up consoles? IT'S INSANE AND COULD NEVER WORK.

Just as crazy as Fire emblem: Radiant Dawn and Path of Radiance being on seperate consoles. Or Golden sun 1/2 and Dark dawn. Or Gold/silver (GB with GBC enhancements) and Crystal (GBC only). Or Metroid prime 3 being a wii only game.

Fact is, they could have made a significantly better game by making it for the 3DS. The original Black and white had no buisness being original DS games in the first place, there is just no excuse for the follow ups to be DS games this far into the 3DS lifetime.

[Olsi]

Betting my money that Kyerum is super evil and took over Zekrom and Reshiram like a virus.

[Razmos]

I know it's a long shot, but it's not entirely impossible that they won't introduce new pok�mon in these games, it's already been hinted that Kyurem Black and Kyurem White are separate pok�mon.

It's never happened before, but there has never been a direct sequel either.

[FelixTM]

This is quite exciting. First time we've ever had a chance for proper sequels. I hope they do go that route and expand on the story, since Black and White are by far the best versions storywise.

Kinda want a few new ones to come out, but only if they're actually designed well(IE not a f'ucking ice cream cone or bag of trash). s:
Either way, probably going to get one of these, after buying B/W 1(put that off cause of s'hit designs) to see the story between them.

because i can name at least 10 other games in each handheld that i've gotten and enjoyed, the 3ds still doesn't have a single one, only 2 and they're in development, besides, this would be the "third" game of the series.

as for your other examples, guess what all of the consoles you mentioned had? that's right, backwards compatibility, i could play my red and blue on my GBC, and GBA, i could play my ruby and emerald on my DS (annoyed they didn't allow for playing of GBC games), same with pearl and platinum, and now black and it's "third game"

and unlike golden sun, i didn't have to wait SEVEN YEARS for this sequel. (and i'm still annoyed at no backwards compatibility to my lost age)

if the next pokemon is on the 3DS, sure, i don't have any complaints, but if black/white started on the DS, they damn better end on the DS, don't forget the DS is the first one to have freaking 4 different versions, that's too much imo.

[Myles]

Wont be surprised if Nintendo release both games on DS AND 3DS.

[Scaeva]

While it's nice that people that don't have a 3DS can enjoy this game too, I think it's a bit silly that they decided against making these games one of the 3DS killer aps, which would sell a lot of the system, possibly have some more people buy Pok�mon Rumble Blast and set up a nice install base for whatever game they decide to release on the 3DS.

I'm personally going to hold of on any speculation until we get a few more details. Too many wild ideas going around right now. One thing is for sure though: these games will reuse the Black & White engine.

[Kirov]

I would, that wouldn�t make any sense.

Also on the American website it specifically says the game can be played in 2D on the 3DS. Since you know the silly consumer still doesn�t know the 3DS can play DS games.

[Dredragon]

It could go down like that. Remember pokemon mystery dungeon red and blue? One was for ds, and one was for gameboy.
I hope that we have new rivals, I need more challenging story battles to happen. I want more ways to grind, getting to level 100 was kinda bad.
I hope they add a battle frontier like area too, that would be nice. :)

"Pok�mon Black/White 2" Dated for Fall in North America, Europe


By the way, I SERIOUSLY can't believe how many people think this is a "remake", "rehash", or whatever. I know it hasn't been explicitly confirmed, but it's pretty much known that this is a SEQUEL.
How difficult is it to get it? I mean, the games are called "Black 2" and "White 2"! TWO. DOS. 二. DEUX. DUE. 두. ZWEI. DU. DUO. два. DOUS. दो. tv�. สอง. IKI. HAI. KAKSI. δυ*. TO. DH�.
TWO.
