So, er, that happened!

As confirmed by Junichi Masuda on Pokemon Smash, as well as Twitter, AND NOW THE OFFICIAL POKEMON WEBSITE Pokemon Black and White 2 will be released in Japan in June 2012. There appears to be two new forms of Reshiram and Zekrom and/or Kyurem.

Erm, thoughts?

Note: This thread is just for your reaction to the news (However it is not for predicting when the next leaks about the games will occur, etc - use the News Discussion Thread for that). We have a thread on how you feel about Black Kyurem and White Kyurem to cover the formes, platform discussion to cover the platform, storyline discussion, what "2" signifies, which version you're getting, release date discussion and what you want. Anything else will be moved to said threads.

I'm still stunned... why 2? Why not just one game like usual? Not ONLY that but it's not even on the 3DS... What is going on?

The biggest thought that is running through my head, is this a full-blown sequel, or just a remastered version?

Well this was a shocker, I thought that if they did make two third versions they would be called Grey and Gray not BW2...
I wonder if this takes place after BW...

They could have shown us a small clip or something like they did with HG/SS, even if it was just them strolling around for 6 seconds.

I don't know what to think yet.
And for the DS? I mean, what's the point dude?

Well. Given the very limited info we have, I don't have much of an opinion. But it's nice to seem them doing something different from the usual formula.

My first response to seeing the update was: "What just happened?"
My response is still "What just happened?"
This is all kinds of weird.

^ I agree it truely makes this generation a reboot from the norm. I wonder if the main character's are the same or if they got new clothes...
I feel like this two third games is a reference for BW

It looks like Gamefreak's trying to get into Pokemon Fusion. Ugh those things are so weird.

Those red and blue things in the logo look like shiny gems, so I still want to believe.

That is correct...
Also the sites said that the names will be revealed later...is it possible that they got new names? Like Zekyu and Reskyu?

It's for the DS, but it's compatible with the 3DS.

It might be 3DS enhanced, but underneath the titles it just says it's coming to the DS in June 2012.

I just saw this on Serebii and it only mentioned being on the Ds. I hope it is, because I don't want to buy a 3DS for 1 game. ): Also why are the titles so creative? I hope it's just a placeholder name, and the new forms of Kyurem look cute. o3o; I was hoping for only 1 form but meh.

Oh, well it's nice to see that they made them 3Ds enhanced that shows that game freak didn't only think of those with a 3ds or those who lack a 3ds but both ^_^
I was kind of misled too...when will we get Ruby and Sapphire 2 :P

Translation:

top: June 2012 - The newest game in the Pokemon Series for DS is revealed!

right: The mythical pokemon kept slumbering appears!

bottom: A completely new adventure will begin!

A NEW adventure, it looks like its a sequel which is pretty cool!

That's cool. Perhaps we'll get to find out what happened to N and Ghetsis?
Also, what if we end up travelling to Hoenn, seeing as how much they spoke of it in B/W?
