That is not necessarily true, if you look at Johto you'll see it is really short just like Unova (each gym in the next city) and in Johto you go to Kanto. If you look at the logo for the BW2 you'll see something that seem to be a fire/ice crystal and electric/ice crystal but it maybe a Ruby and a Sapphire. The fire ice and the electric ice crystals in the background are maybe hinting to something bigger.

Back to BW2, there were hidden moves and Kyurem did have secret forme. All of this was embedded into Black and White so they were working on this since the original games were finished.

Well I think since in every generation there's 5 main games, maybe they will remake emerald instead of R/S.
So now i think if you give the god stone to Zekrom it will fuse with kyurem, the same would happen to Reshiram.

Slooooooowwpooooke. :P


Well, i'm glad to see more and more people are starting to warm up to these titles. I was kinda shocked at first, thinking they were re-releasing B/W separately rather than in one game, but after realizing these are sequels I feel like the Pokefans are a kinda blessed.

There's far more pros than there are cons at this point, in my opinion.
Pros being:
-It's something new that we've never seen done in the Pokemon franchise before.
-It's not Gray, so we're not buying something we already have only slightly tweaked.
-It's for the DS, so even those who lack a 3DS can enjoy it.
-It's coming out very soon.
-There's more story to be had, so loose ends get tied and we get far more game to play.
-In addition to more story, i'm sure it will include the new features that would have been added if it were merely a 3rd version.

Cons:
-It's NOT on 3DS. I know it contradicts my pro, but I would have liked to see some graphical improvements. It's understandable seeing as it's a B/W sequel, though.
-The two Kyurem forms don't look that cool, but that's just my opinion. There still are plenty who like them.

Can't wait to get more info!

lol After all it was true that there will be no 3rd game to Gen V.
Probably we'll get more information and pics from the next Corocoro.

Omg why do people nvm. But that is not what that means the ice is covering the lightning/fire because kyurem is fused with zekrom/reshiram this also points out that they will most likely be fire/ice and electric/ice. This has nothing to do with another region. Our only hope is a chain of islands(sevii island type). Gf won't waste money adding another region when they could make another game in the future to make them a hell of a lot more moneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoney.

As far as the time thing goes, gen 1 and gen 3 share the same time period. Likewise, gen 2 and gen 4 take place together about 3 years after 1 and 3. If we get Hoenn remakes, that you mean 5 takes place in the same time as 1 and 3. But seeing as BW2 are sequels, we can either get 5.1 taking place with 1 and 3 and 5.2 taking place in a unspecified time jump. Or we could get 5.1 take place before gens 1 and 3, and have 5.2 take place at the same time as the other two. I think having 5.1 before the beginning of what we know of as the beginning of pokemon would be a pretty interesting twist :P

Nah, they're just learning from Digimon. They're doing the right thing.
I say hit me up with Zekyuremon.

So, who's gonna wait for the Grey/Pink/Rainbow version of this game instead?

Oh right.

Spoiler:
real talk though im gonna bet they'll do a third game for this. Kyurem fuses with both Zekrom and Reshiram yo.

That sounds like a very interesting idea, but there's one problem. If you remember, in N's Castle, one of the grunts states that: "Team Galactic and Team Rocket drew too much attention to themselves. That's why their plans were thwarted." Also, the Team Rocket Grunt that stole the machine part in G/S/C/HG/SS appears in Iccirus City. This shows that B/W must take place after the events of gen 2+4, and therefore, gen 1+3 as well. The only way I can think of gen 5 coinciding with gen 3 is if 5.2 takes place before 5.1, but that's very unlikely.

As for the games, I'm so glad that they're being released. I was always kind of frustrated that B/W had so many mysteries left unsolved (Who were the Shadow Triad and where did they go? Where did N and Ghetsis go after the end? Who on earth were Anthea and Concordia?), but now I see that it was all intended, and are probably going to be solved in B2/W2. I just hope that they pull it off well.

Well to anyone that's complaining, "why isn't this on the 3DS?", imagine all the complaints we'll get when people start complaining they don't feel like spending close to $200 just to play Pokemon. I know that I wouldn't do it, even though I have the 3DS already. If I didn't, I wouldn't even bother.

Black 2: coming soon to Tashiro's DS. Zekyurem looks gloriously hideous. <3

Will this be the one that's packaged with 3DS systems? I hope so. I'm holding out on buying a 3DS until there are Pokémon-themed ones.

Hoen appearing in the sequels is a very very VERY low chance. Yes they COULD do it like Johto EXCEPT, Johto and Kanto were literally just a short walk away from each other. Unova and Hoen have a vast ocean with untold miles between the two and Gamefreak would be less likely to add them in just because of them wanting to Separate Unova from the other four.

Unova isn't supposed to have any connections to the older regions, that's why its so far away. For them to magically link the old regions to Unova would be undoing all the work they put in to solidify the fact that its extremely far away.

I think these are smaller projects hence why 1 they're kind of rushed considering they got a release date the same day they were announced and that release date is just 3 months away because they want to save a bigger project for the first Pokémon game on 3DS. Also, Hoenn and Unova are too similar in appearence so it would kinda be pointless.

Here's an idea

Introduce passports as an item and allow access to airports post-game.
Have some sort of plane pokemon or whatever.

EDIT: How is the game rushed? It's gonna be out 2-3 months after B/W hits its anniversary.
This game clearly has been developed for longer than a year.

Unless you actually think this game is gonna be any different besides a new (useless) plot and some dumb improvements here and there.

I wonder when the next update is, whenever it is I'm looking forward to it as the possibilities of these new games are endless right now in speculation.

Ffff, the one time I decide to go out early in the morning and not check on news, but as soon as I saw this I was just like... WTF?!?!

So, much, discussion, going on right now...

I'm so sad this isn't going to be on the 3DS. ;.;

I can see kyurem getting caught in between reshiram and zekrom, tryimg to freeze the world and what not but instea isolates a conjoining fusion flare and fusion bolt, the result... Kyurem splitting 3 ways black kyurem and white kyurem and the frozen shell of lacunosa lore.
Which would leave the latter still in their resoective dex entries, with only a peice of reshiram and zek ripped away in the fusiom, we still have reshi and zek to catch post game. Hmmm. Plus I think white kyu and black kyu will hold new dex entries, if they make his form interchangeable through a held item then that deletes the purpose for ppl to purchase both versions

Yes you can. Three types makes no sense and is too complicated. They'll be Dragon/whatever type.

You are right, but I think that would be a very, very big sort of thing to do, and would change mechanics a lot. They'll probably do something like Fire/Ice and Electric/Ice whilst retaining dragon moves in move pool.

Still waiting for that Gen V Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.

Anyways, I highly dislike these new forms and think that combining pokemon like this is a little stupid and unoriginal. I'm also upset that they are breaking the name cycle from colors and stones like Green, blue, yellow, ruby, pearl, diamond, etc. Could've at least called it Gray Version.

The only thing cool about this is that we might be able to find answers to some of the plot gaps(anyone thinking N here?), but again I just dislike this entire thing in general. Better be funner than the other pkm games I've bought.

I think it's only going to be one region because the only games that had multiple regions were GSC, that was their exclusive feature and we had HGSS in 2009 so having ANOTHER game with 2 regions 3 years later would be kind of pointless the whole 16 badge concept etc. I can see new areas but that's really it. Also not to mention the development time would be longer than it actually is being released.

Skyla said that Kanto and Sinnoh were far away. Nothing about transporting you there.

Also, this needs to be stickied.

If the games were in a new region, I wouldn't expect them to have a name that connects them with B/W. By calling them B/W "2" there's a definite expectation that they're gonna have some connection to B/W, and that more than likely means taking place in the same region.

After all it's not called R/S "2" or G/S "2".
