5th Gen What does "2" mean?

[Glitter_Time]

Game freak may be watching profits, one version vs two versions, what would everyone rather? Some fans only want the one version instead of buying both, so the 2 game saves idea could possibly incorporate elements of both into one card. Black first play-through, white post-league, and other way around. but that leaves trades in question...

^ that would be cool but that would make less people likely to buy both...
The 2 makes me think of Z, the initial of the first pokemon announced this gen, Zoroark and Zorua...which N owned/owns...
Also Z is the last letter of the alphabet, symbolizing the end of N's story (N has an alpahbet name, well nickname, so why not?)

It has to be something bigger than just a revamp of B/W, plus the "2" in the title isn't lazy at all it's something game developers use to indicate sequals, if they wanted to pull a "FR/LG" or "HGSS" and they would be released many years from now. Another thing that seems to be important is that the title pokemon has more relevance to the previous title pokemon in its forms I can't make much of that as of now, but it seems special. Like some people said before I feel that this game is sure to express a few things.
The questions that mean the most to me are:

• What Kyurem was doing in space before crashing into the Giant Chasm area
• The true identities of the rest of the important members of Plasma not given much development i.e. 6/7 Sages, Anthea and Concordia
• The identity of the Shadow Triad
  
  Spoiler:

  I'm leaning towards them being the Striaton Trio, they just so happened to be the only Gym Leaders not present in the final confrontation in N's Castle, they also happen to be the least active throughout the progression of the game.

I was content with the third version pattern. Maybe its just because I was cathing up on all the gens since the first one, so I've been grabbing the third version from Gen 2 on.

But I just hope we don't have to wait too long to find out what this means. I really want to pick up my Gen 5 game, but I am definitely waiting till "2" comes out.

2 = 2

what else do you think it means? 3? LOL

I prefer my games to be stand alone adventures. The plot in Pokemon games should focus around YOUR journey, and your mission to beat the elite 4, or what-have-you. This is why N really pissed me off. Everytime I start up the game, I see that lame cut-scene of this guy that I hate. What happened to Emerald's awesome, and vague intro that implied a Open Grand adventure? By focusing too much on that "N" guy it takes away a lot from my own personal journey. And it isn't just N, its Cheren and Bianca too. The game is essentially forcing me to care and deal with these characters, contrary to earlier games when they were an occasional road-block. I wasn't a fan of cut-scenes either. It broke the visual style of the games too much. Pokemon is about imagination, when you add all that crap, you kind of lose that.

I would hope, that B&W Version 2 is an extended cut of B&W, but with a lot more added. Like a second region to go to after you completed Unova. I also hope they tone back on N a bit, after a while. And Pokemon better follow you around this time, Goddammit! >.<

I believe this is not exactly a 3rd version, but more like a continuation of the storyline established in Black/White.

There are so many mysteries in Black/White that are not explained:
*Who are the Shadow Triad?
*Why does the Shadow Triad do absolutely nothing but escort you for a few seconds?
*Who are Concordia and Anthea?
*Why does Concordia and Anthea appear very briefly in the castle, and are considered important enough to get their own overworld sprites, and even appear in the intro, when you only see them once the entire game?
*Where is N?
*Where is Ghetsis?

I'm thinking the story isn't over yet, and we will see more in Black 2 & White 2.

I'd put money on this being the case.

Excellent post.

It could mean that there are "2" third games instead of one, that would be a let down.

That's my guess...

If they are in fact sequels, B2 would be a sequel to Black, W2 will be a sequel to White, and N's dragon will fuse with the God Stone to become Black/White Kyurem. Reasonable?
