why black and white 2

it's pokemon - it needs new colors :mad:

but yeah - more pokemon

First they say they're not going to release a 3rd edition (like Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum) but now they're going to release a 3DS version of B/W. Should've just done Gr(e|a)y / Chrome and made it 3ds-only

Looks like it's still going to be DS+. Hopefully they don't just keep making DS games with possible 3DS enhancements (like the DSi-only enhancements).

Interesting... Pokemon is nearing final fantasy levels of ridic:p

All i wanted was ruby/sapphire remakes, now i have to force myself through Unova AGAIN!
And yet annoyed as i am, i will give them my money in exchange for this creative stasis. Damn me and my stupid brain:pac:

Wolverine359 · 26-02-2012 2:12am

Are Nintendo deliberately trying to kill the 3DS again?! :eek: I know the DS has a much more solid foothold in terms of owners, but shouldn't they try to launch the new Pokemon games on their latest system, as a built-for-3ds title? It was bad enough when they released black/white only a few weeks before the 3ds launch last year. This is coming out over a year later, but it's not going to be a 3ds exclusive, just a DS game with (probably) a few tacked-on 3ds enhanced features... Agh!
End of rant.

jaydoxx · 26-02-2012 2:37am

btw is this confirmed to be ds or 3ds title? maybe they'll release 4 versions of the same game?
for a total of 6:pac:

GTR63 · 26-02-2012 2:49am

Seeing as its a sequel it opens up a big opportunity for them to do something different than the usual tried and tested formula of getting the 8 badges, beat elite 4 & done. You could be a gym leader & train certain pokemon types or something else that does a 180 on the format.

nitromaster · 26-02-2012 3:38pm

I see so many complaints about this....I don't think a lot of people realise it's not just black/white with two added new forms for one pokemon :roll eyes:

Would have preferred 3DS, but still likely a day one purchase

cloud493 · 26-02-2012 6:42pm

It'll just be the same treatment as releasing Emerald or Platinum. Not that is stops me being super excited

deathrider · 01-03-2012 8:22pm

I've only really started to delve into the world of Pokémon myself lately, so this news has hit at a great time for me. I'll look forward to this... Taking it for granted I can beat my way through the back catologue before it's released.

A lot depends on your idea of "beat" - the main story? Full 'dex? Battle frontier? Living dex? All-shiny living dex? Breed a charmander with perfect IVs? Etc etc

Full story, and cathing/leveling up the ones I personally want, being happy with my team's level and skills- That would do me grand.

Very interesting article about this on IGN right now, I can see that this game being released on the Nintendo DS really extends the DS life and makes the 3DS just seem more and more like a relaunch of the DS as opposed to a separate console of it's own. Who'd of known the 3DS would be in this much trouble a year after launch, developers obviously don't want to make games for it.

RobbingBandit · 03-03-2012 11:44pm

Would love to see a Team Rocket return in this.

Did someone call me?

It's looking like this is going a proper sequel as opposed to the emerald/platinum tweaked remake which is great

New girl protagonist is delicious.

Xevkin · 19-04-2012 1:31pm

Does anyone else feel that each time a new Pokemon game is anounced, one can't help but hope that GameFreak will make *the* definitive Pokemon, giving us the things which would be so easily implemented - multiple save states, modifiable characters and Pokemon, a stronger post game, greater online integration - but that we all know in our hearts that this newest iteration will just a slight variation to the same formula?

And we'll still buy them.

K.O.Kiki · 20-04-2012 1:42pm

Zelda hasn't changed much either.

Xevkin · 23-04-2012 8:40am

The Zelda formula has been cracked; for what the LoZ series is, I don't see how they can actually drastically improve it. But Pokemon? There's a lot that could be done.

Scavenger XIII · 23-04-2012 9:26am

Has the series really progressed at all in the last decade? I've always liked the concept but frankly I was bored (entire series -1) games ago.

Basically what Xevkin said, but with more cynicism. :pac:

RobbingBandit · 23-04-2012 10:18am

Great game for those of us with OCD,fcuking basterds and their gotta catch em all.

ussjtrunks · 09-10-2012 6:09pm

Anyone know how much this is going to be in Hmv?

deathrider · 09-10-2012 6:16pm

Full price I'd imagine. Try checking their site.

ussjtrunks · 09-10-2012 6:20pm

The site says its £27 / €35 but I doubt it considering every other highstreet shop is charging €40+

deathrider · 09-10-2012 6:23pm

Not too much of a jump between €25 and 40 anyways. 35 sounds like a damn good deal. Best bet, ask instore.

Grimebox · 09-10-2012 10:38pm

I haven't played the pokemon series since Gold/Silver which was pretty much identical to Blue/Red imo. Has the series evolved at all? Judging from some gameplay videos, I think not. I would love to hear people say otherwise though

cloud493 · 09-10-2012 10:45pm

Pokemon has significantly evolved from gold/silver
