It seems like an interesting topic because as any BW fan knows, Black and White were attempts at a new, fresh start in the franchise, and many things in BW parallel the first generation, such as Mewtwo and Genesect being illegal experiments with the objective of creating the perfect life form.
I've also noticed that the names of each game is not without motives. Red, blue, green, and yellow were named for obvious reasons. Gold and silver represent the sun (Ho-oh) and the stormy sky (Lugia). Ruby and sapphire were named because each gem grows under certain weather conditions. Diamond was named because it requires a lot of time for any to form (hence the time theme) and pearl was named because pearls in the real world are hard to find (hence the space theme). Black and white were named because of their yin/yang theme, which brings us back to how they strongly parallel generation 1.
Assuming future games will still be named accordingly, what can we expect from them?
