Well said, LeSabre.

The English names of the games are Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2. This highly suggests you're all being duped and that my two-third-versions theory is more likely.

I agree, if it wasn't going to be based in Unova it would have a completely different name I'd assume but that's obviously why they have added the two.

Well just because they are more than likely going to take place in Unova again, doesn't mean they still can't be sequels. That's like saying Harry Potter being set in Hogwarts year after year in each book of the series aren't sequels to one another. The difference between these two games and the originally thought up "Gray" is that Gray would have been the original two games merged as one with a few enhancements, upgrades, and extras but overall the same story with N and Team Plasma. In Black & White 2, we can have a new story that takes place after the events of Black and White making these games a sequel rather than a traditional third game.

I can't believe some of the hate in this thread, though the general opinion seems to be changing. But seriously, do people hate change this much?
I think this a fantastic idea, they say "2" right in the name, they're obvious sequels and not Pokemon Gray split in two. And I will firmly believe that until I have any evidence to suggest otherwise.

Without knowing anything about the game I'll reserve the rest of my judgement but I am definitely excited about the possibilities here. And if Hoenn does show up, I'll welcome it.

Also Porygon is a pretty stupid looking Pokemon. =/

Please don't use the world "Obvious" multiple times we've used that word this generation it turned out to be wrong like Luvdisc having an evolution, the third game being called Grey/Gray...
It could just be an alternate version of BW with many changes not a true sequel...though I hope it's a sequel...

That is very true! & All we have is a name and two mascots as well as their names. I think we need to lay back and just wait for some more news, haha.

I think Nintendo stalked all Pokemon forums and saw we were expecting Grey and deliberately made Black 2 and White 2. We just got trolled.

I think the same...they proably did that with the so called Luvdisc evolution too...the remakes proably won't even be called MRAS now either...
Something strange is that despite the close release date they didn't give us a video...I wonder if the games are still in production...

I sure hope we see RS remakes in the future! But anyway, as for B2W2, I did want a third game as opposed to a duo sequel, but the fact that it's so different from the normal thing intrigues me. So I'm looking forward to these games and more updates on them. And this is coming from someone who hates change, haha.

Game Freak is huge on shocking people and subverting expectations tbh, that's why I insisted it wouldn't be called Gray haha. Of course no one saw this coming though, they just took it to a new level. But I honestly don't think Gray was ever an option, they probably wanted to shock people from the beginning.

I think it was due to the hints they dropped like N saying the world had become too Grey and that it needed to return to being Black and White and Kyurem being grey...Wait a minute maybe the fact that these games aren't called Grey is a hint about Plasma...it could mean that the world is still divided into two or that they still seek to keep the world Black and White...

GF Boss: "Alright team we already ran out of clever ways to use colors/gems/irons/metals"
GF Team: "What??? Awwwwww, now what are going to do with new releases?"
GF Boss: "Good that you ask young one, NOW WE HAVE NUMBERS! And they are infinite over 9000!!!!"

But seriously this has been the biggest troll they could have given to us, we here expecting something of the usual but then they go make 2 different versions of Kyurem and give us 2 new games instead of one, now i can't wait to see the clever ideas they came up with to have this game interact as in, white1 can only interact with white2 and the such xD.

I'm so hyped about these games. Just what I've needed to get back into the Pokémon spirit. In my opinion, Black and White never seemed finished to me. The story was way too short and the region was relatively small. Also, since all the games released on the DS thus far aren't completely compatible with trading anyway, I wouldn't rule out any new Pokémon being introduced. Aren't White Kyurem & Black Kyurem separate anyway? I'm expecting to see them integrating more Pokémon from other regions, and maybe adding a few new evolutions. That's just me being hopeful I guess, but it's possible.

^ I'd love for the regional dex to not just be Unova this time around. If anyone has been keeping up with my blog, I've used every Unova Pokemon. lol So I am honestly sick of Unova Pokemon, unless they are named Petilil or Victini. Plus, I think a lot of other people are sick of just Unova. It can't just be me. So yeah, I'm really hoping for some other non-gen V Pokemon to be incorporated into the games. The beginning of BW was so bland too. The trainers hardly had any diversity. Before the first gym, you can only get your starter, Lillipup, Patrat, Purrloin, a monkey, Audino, and Munna. Compare that to say, Ruby and Sapphire where you could get your starter, Zigzagoon, Wingull, Wurmple, Lotad/Seedot, Ralts, Shroomish, Tailow, Slakoth, Ninc-- okay you get the point, lol. There was a lot of stuff available and trainers had better team diversity (some had stuff you couldn't even get right away, like Machop and Geodude). So yeah, I'd love to see more options with B2W2, especially in the beginning of the game.

Yeah, well they mixed up the Dex in Platinum from Diamond & Pearl so I can only think they will do the same with this.. maybe adding Hoenn Pokémon considering they're hard to obtain currently... well some of them are anyway.

Sydian, I think you just made the most unexpectedly true acclaimation to Game Freak's overall personality – This is what they're up to, folks. ^^;

My opinion as to why Game Freak is switching things up is, simply put, they aim to shock us, but with a well-thought out system that is slowly revealed. Very sneaky and smart, those folks! ;D

I can't wait to get info on this game. Coro Coro will likely be our first source of info for the game, unless Pokemon Smash gives us something little before Coro Coro like they did with HG/SS.

The poster pics gives me the impression of "morph evolution", i.e. two Pokémon evolving into one.

Sequel? Now wouldn't that be interesting. . . . It would certainly make me feel better about the new Kyurem forms looking like bad splice jobs. It just seems odd that the third version will be two games. . . . *Sigh* Guess I'll be buyin' 'em both again, lol. The fact that they're also "Pokemon 2," . . . is, well, I guess it just bugs me because it seems odd in the world of Pokemon. HEY, it's interesting and something new. I like it.
Ugh . . . I guess that means the two signature moves of Kyurem depend on what forme you get, doesn't it? BAH. I'll get them both anyways, because I'm that awesome. Sadly, I could not read this whole thread because I'm lazy and have little time to. However, I hear that there's much hate going on? LET THIS SOOTHE YOU:

There, the world is right once more. I'll be seeing you.

It sounds to me like they are making an entirely new story based in the Unova region. Whilst this may raise the question of: "Is Game Freak running out of ideas for new Pokemon?", it also adds an interesting layer to Pokemon which we haven't seen much of before; Continued story-line.

I can't remember who said it but someone suggested that we might return to Hoenn during the game. I like this idea and there is evidence to support it. They played gen 3 music before the announcement of the games and also made reference to gen 3 several other times.

I'm actually pretty excited about the new games :D

@ first line: 10/10.

@ second line: Nooo don't say that ;; I'd much rather a sequel since EXCITING. Whereas just an alternate version? Not really. ;x New adventure implies otherwise though!!

Definitely, or at least that'd be kinda awesome. I look forward to seeing my ideas included in Black 2 and White 2.

My reaction, was ''A SEQUEL!?'' it was very suprising, I guess Nintendo aren't as predictable as I thought. Here I am expecting a third game, or a R/S remake, or even a proper 3D adventure game for 3DS, but I guess I'll have to wait a little longer for that... The formes look awesome as well! Can't wait for more info on the game though.

You guys have to pray that it be an actual sequel. We need at least two or three screenshots of the overworld to at least get some information.

OFF TOPIC: I remember when Black and White screenshots were revealed and everyone was wondering what that cave was.
