    • I wonder if they will introduce Street Pass into the third game if it's on 3DS or some sort of 3D exclusively enhanced features.

    • They proably will, maybe it'll have something to do with the Extralink, in BW they say that it used to be bigger in the past...so maybe they will reference this by adding new stuff in it using the streetpass feature if it's on the 3DS.

    Though I wonder if GF will still make the sprites 2D despite making the game on the 3DS due to them being attached to sprites...

    I'm honestly not sure if I'm happy about 2 new games or annoyed. I love getting third versions, but is two "third versions" really necessary? I hope there's some major differences this time around then! The new formes do look fantastic though, really liking them.

    Oh shoot, seems I may have posted in the wrong topic. Whoops.

    When you choose to develop for the DS? You cut off any 3DS features you'd ever want to use.

    It's for the DS. No StreetPass. No SpotPass. Maybe you'll be able to hang on to that 802.11g and WPA2 support, though.

    The release on the DS, and the movie release date, suggests a quick cash-in on the next movie, but I doubt GameFreak aren't developing a 3DS game simultaneously. Obviously, this game isn't the 3DS game they would have in store.

    Yeah...and the date could also be a quick way to finish off gen V or at least the Unova part of the generation on the ds and start the remakes or gen VI on the 3ds...

    • I heard somewhere it would be compatible with all DS models and 3DS, what a relief for someone who hasn't got a 3DS yet.

    This is on the bottom of the official website so it MAY be for the 3DS

    I am actually someon who is studying the Japanese language and i tried to translate this and here is what i got:

    "Should be played on Nintendo 3ds."

    ニンテンドー3ds = nintendo 3ds
    遊=play
    べ=should
    でま=on

    Which would suggest that it has 3DS enhancements.

    It says on that same website, in the video itself that it is for the DS. But that implies there are 3DS enhancements. Yay~

    I don't know, I read from many sources that say its going to be on the DS, I really hope that its on the DS because I don't want to spend a few 100 bucks just on a 3DS.

    It IS on the DS. It's just 3DS compatible like every single other DS game.

    • I wasn't surprised that it was going to be for Nintendo DS, as I assumed it was going to be Pokémon Gray, turned out to be two sequels to Black/White. Now I wish it was a 3DS exclusive, 'cause they could've used 3D models, but I assume that will be left for generation 6, more than likely.

    • I would have rathered it be a 3DS exclusive. Sure it's "3ds compatible" but compatibilty with a next gen console and actually being FOR a next gen console are two completely different things. It'll be awfully hard to do all these amazing thing Nintendo has promised on a DSi.

    • The reason that they are for the DS and not 3DS is because Black and White were already pretty far in development when Gamefreak received the 3DS Dev kit used to make games for the 3DS.

    Sure, they could have made B2/W2 completely from scratch, but that probably would have added at least a year onto the release date for very minor differences.

    • Pokemon Black and White 2 for 3DS?

    I was looking at the Pokemon Black and White 2 official website and I stumbled across something peculiar. I was looking at the bottom and I saw one number and two letters in the English language, 3DS. Does this mean that Pokemon Black and White 2 are coming out for the 3DS?

    There's a screenshot in the attachments taken from the website.
    Also, Here's the link to the official website. Go to the bottom of the page and look at the right corner:http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/b2w2/

    Well people are saying it officially isn't (afaik I think that's right) so I merged with Platform Discussion so you can discuss how you feel about it.
