Sounds like the new pokemon game might be released next year in japanese, since they're already giving names to the games.

Next year? This link http://www.pokemon.co.jp/bw/index.html has "2010" in it, wouldn't that mean THIS year for Japan? :O :O idk though, can't read Japanese. XD


jeez i hope this isn't some late april fools joke. >__>

Eos Aduro April 8th, 2010 7:57 PM

Im REEEEAAAAALLLLYYYY hoping that Black and White arent kept as the names, Im not against the idea, but something like maybe.... I dunno, Obsidian and Ivory... Dusk and Dawn... but Black and White??? They already did colors in case anyone remembers...

La Foudre April 8th, 2010 7:57 PM

Wooow. Black and White? Loving them already.

musesum626 April 8th, 2010 7:59 PM

If they really are black and white, then I'm starting to think a Light type might be possible. By the way, what would they name the 3rd game? Brown? Anyway I actually like that they're going back to regular colors, even though they might be tentative names.

JP April 8th, 2010 8:00 PM

Yeah, I never thought I'd like "Black & White" but I love the simplicity. Plus, technically they're not colors... they're shades. :P

I'm wondering if this is any sort of hint towards a "light" type? Not too overly excited about that idea, but you cant be sure I guess. :0


Third installment would probably be Gray/Grey.

Eos Aduro April 8th, 2010 8:06 PM

Pokemon Gray? Ugh, that sounds terrible!! And while it may be leaning towards a Light type, which if you're a regular here you probably know my stance on that matter (its against by the way), its in no way confirmed. And this seems to be the most divided naming yet, most are similar, this is an exact opposite. Its seems to be like a coin, both sides totally different but its still one thing. Im personally not happy with the naming, but I think the English name versions will probably be more extravagent than Black and White, probably either synonyms or things closely related to the colors, like my examples of Dusk and Dawn, which I want it to be :P.

I'd love Dusk and Dawn as well. I somehow can't see them changing Black and White for the English names though, not unless there's some sort of racial tension going on. XD

Eos Aduro April 8th, 2010 8:14 PM

I can see racial tension being a factor, its kind of a clear split. If Jynx pissed poeple off, this definitely could send some of the more volatile protesters into a frenzy.

Waffle-San April 8th, 2010 8:24 PM

OKAY FREAK OUT FREAK OUT!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH Ahem, got that out of the way...well not really but whatever. :P Just as long as these games aren't actually in Black and White. :P Sepia for the win!!

I can see their being possible racial issues but Black and White is a huge theme throughout all of history. Personally I'll judge the titles more when we have more info on the games themselves.

YoungO April 8th, 2010 8:47 PM

pretty cool.. i can wait 4 Gen5!!!!

Vrai April 8th, 2010 8:54 PM

I actually really like the names Black and White. They're.. sleek, compared to the latest names. And, honestly, the relation to RBY almost makes it seem like it's going to involve some nostalgia and therefore make it epic.

There is already a Digimon game called Dusk and Dawn, so I don't think that would be a good idea...

Jynx had black skin and big red lips, so it's obvious that people would complain about it, even though it's based on gangaro fashion. Black and White is used a lot in the media so I highly doubt it.

5th Generation Game Titles Announced!
 
We finally know the names of 5th generation pokemon games. Pokemon BLACK and Pokemon WHITE. Announced on the official website: http://www.pokemon.co.jp/bw/index.html

Back to basics rather than carrying on with the 'gem' theme, and I quite like it. What do you guys think?





Destiny Bond April 8th, 2010 9:17 PM

Thats like one of the most retarded name they can possible give to the 5th gen of pokemon, no offense.
I'm not racist so ill get pokemon Black and White as well when it is released

loliwin April 8th, 2010 9:19 PM

I love the names! And it's simple. Zoroark may also be a version mascot of one of the games! :O

Yamikarasu April 8th, 2010 9:21 PM

Haha, I can imagine the awkward conversations. You got white version? Yeah, you would, wouldn't you?

I love the names. Black and White does sort of give the feeling that they are returning to the past. They also give me the feeling the story line might be darker than the other games.

wee187 April 8th, 2010 9:24 PM

Hm. Yeah it'll be awkward but nevertheless I like it. I'll probably get black though simply because I like nighttime better than daytime. lolwut xD

Izanagi April 8th, 2010 9:25 PM

Yeah, I'm hoping for an epic story line. I'll be getting Black of course... what? You just know Zorua will be in Black version.

Christopher April 8th, 2010 9:26 PM

BLACK and White eh? sounds um..... old and a little racist ^ lol at the you would wouldn't you thing. I really don't like the names though they were running out of gems to use weren't they

So why is everyone getting black? No one cares about whites? What about pokemon asian?

Bahahaha, I hope that was a joke.

Hmm, the idea of Black and White appeals to me, sounds like they might be going back to basics and by that, I mean back in time, perhaps? Maybe to the days of Aerodactyl and Kabuto?

Haza April 8th, 2010 9:56 PM

Just what I predicted. I truly see a darker story line coming (and the death of the light type idea) and also a lot of 2012 freaks wigging out. (Arceus movie theme and now this)...

vibratingcat April 8th, 2010 10:26 PM

AAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so awesome!!!
u know that most people are american here when people start talking about races.
black and white.... so awesome. this could mean that pokemon is heading to a more darker story line which would be EPIC. aarrgghhhh!!! so excited XD

Polizard April 8th, 2010 10:36 PM

I like the name black and white i love the simplicity of it i do also like the 2 pokemon already released and im excited to see what else gets revealed
