WOW! Looks awesome. Quick facts we know:
- Releases June 2012
- Mascots are Kyurem’s two formes
- For Nintendo DS
- US site has posted about the games! No release date however
- New pokemon’s names are: Black Kyurem & White Kyurem
But can we just take about two hours to speculate on this?! I admit, I’m a huge fan of the Kyurem formes now.
<;3 pokejungle
Ok heres what I think. We go back to Hoenn, or its built in as a mini game part. The story involves the legendary of each version and combines w/ Kyureum to make its powerful (Ghetis plan). N will tag team w/ us. And pokemon will walk with us once more to make us more friendly w/ them.
I think it’s kinda strange that they put Zekrom in Black instead of White, and Reshiram vice versa.
I’m not sure why though. :p
It’s probably because in the first games N takes the legend mascot away with him so the other one is use to fuse with Kyurem in this one.
oops forgot something and bad grammar
so the one N doesn’t have is probably the one involved in the plot to fuse with kyurem
It actually makes sense because they are probably making the boxart background blue, to differentiate from BW1.
By putting the Black Kyurem on the box Black 2 and vice versa with White Kyurem, it is a lot clear for all the casual folks who don’t know about the story (and I agree it also has to do with the story).
I was just like: WHAT?! when I watched the livestream. XD Can’t wait. I’m lucky, I’m getting White 2 cause I had the original White, so I get the badass reshiram thing… XD
Its crazy!!! I cant wait!! but im sure its june in Japan right??? so maybe august/september for US??
Interesting. That’s all I can really say at this point. Interesting.
OMG. WE’RE PROBABLY GONNA GET MORE N BACK STORY. <3
We’re probably going to get a lot more backstory on everyone [i]and[/i] mainstory.
Why the hell they didn’t just made a single 3rd game, being those two new forms in it…
**EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION, THIS IS IMPORTANT** The reason there are two games is because reshiram and zekrom came for one dragon, the royal dragon. If there were two dragons in one game, the whole game would be screwed up.
Also, y’know, it gives them a chance to sell more games.
True, but this is capitalism. It’s a matter of choice, you’re lucky that you don’t really have to buy them both, except if you’re like me for your collection. Yes, I admit, I’m a slave of capitalism. And I don’t even care.
I’m curious to why on the DS though since the system is starting to die off since the 3DS has been going crazy in the West….last breath attempt I guess
Probably because they want to have the Gen VI games out early on the 3DS, so that they can truely take advantage of the hardware and that those have a unique selling point. Developing for a new system takes time, and GF has now most of the assets complete for the DS. With that they can totally focus on gameplay and story (which they’re doing here I guess)
ugly!
Nintendo DS. ugh….. a little disappointed it’s not on the 3DS, but other than that not bad. Kinda sucks how it can’t just be one game too. Now I have to decide again.
I was expecting Gray, but this is even BETTER!!!
But now that there are two versions, I have no idea what to choose for my starter since in “Gray” I would have chosen Tepig
Well you could… choose Tepig.
lol
The official US site also revealed the games! I’m thinking december release?
As much as I want the games to be released in the US (Believe me, I want these games in my hand. NOAW.) I don’t think that’s the case. D:
Remember how the US site revealed Reshiram and Zekrom at the same time Japan did? But the game came out in the US 5 months after the JPN release. :l
Yeah I remember that. But the key is that these games are being released in June ( a whole 3 months earlier than usual) vs. September. Anything could happen in my opinion.
Five months after June is November. It’s very possible that these games will come out around then.
OMG. YOU’RE RIGHT. 8D
/ozysucksatmath
You don’t suck at math. You’re just way too excited and your brain isn’t functioning right haha.
to be honest with you, I had to look at a calender. A calender I dropped from excitement (that didn’t happen, but it easily could have. We live in exciting times)
I’m thinking of an october release, so that it can ramp up towards the holiday season. December is a risky month, not for fear of low sales, but for sold out stock and dissappointed customers.
Wouldn’t surprise me if it hits in February.
They’ve been confirmed for autumn release in Europe, so localization looks like it’s gonna be pretty fast!
For UK people, the games have been announced there, too. THIS IS A THING PEOPLE!
They broke tradition!
I wonder how they the sequels are gonna work since they are in the same generation.
They already broke tradition by bringing a new generation on the same handheld. (Gold and Silver don’t really count because they were marketed for and took advantage of the GBColor)
what could we expect?
its a sequel(like the initial pokemon 2 that was renamed gold &silver?)
could be there a second region (possibly hoenn?)
could be new just discovered pokemons?
could be that this time they dont leave so many plot holes(shadow trio, the two girls, who really is N, what are the underwater ruins,)
release in june? that is really breaking the mold, why a mid year release?
Hey, guys. I actually do believe that Black 2 and White 2 are actually sequels and not just remakes.
Notice that Kyurem’s formes in Black 2 and White 2 represent the dragon opposite of the mascots of Black 1 and White 1. Black 2’s mascot is Kyurem’s Zekrom forme, while White 2’s mascot is Kyurem’s Reshiram forme.
The dragon pokemon that N catches near the end of Black and White is also opposite of the one you get in those games. N has Zekrom in Black and Reshiram in White.
When you defeat N in battle, he still has possession of the dragon pokemon that he caught. After the end of the main game, Looker tells you that N is “in a distant land with a Dragon-type pokemon.” This could happen before you decide to catch Kyurem in Black and White, so that aspect of the timeline could be shifted entirely.Perhaps Kyurem is located in this distant region and has absorbed N’s dragon (Reshiram in White, Zekrom in Black) to change into the form that it has in either of the games.
This could very well mean that the player character will also travel to that distant land and battle/catch Kyurem. What do you guys think? Is my theory plausible?
I think they left us with these plotholes on purpose, so they could bring a direct sequel to it.
First I thought they were going to patch the holes in the third version, but a follow up makes more sense. (and if naming it nr. 2 isn’t a good indication enough)
Kyuresh and Zekyu? This is so interesting….I can imagine nintendo laughing at our past speculation of the name of the third game: “These suckers have no idea..” lol. The Kyuresh one looks awesome! and that awkward tuft of hair is gone! Hooray!
I like the Reshyurem. x3
EY GUYS. Do you think we’ll get in this or in any future game (Version 3.0? lol) the Original Dragon (a.k.a. Kyurem + Reshiram + Zekrom)?
It’s a combo-breaker! Two new games instead of one….. I want both of them ,but if I choose one, it’ll be White 2 for the Reshiram-Kyurem mix.
I’ll admit…. these new forms are very strange, however, I just… love how they look 😛
I guess today is national nerd apprectiation day.
Between new Kyurem formes and a new Legend if Korra trailer, i’ve gone through 3 pairs of wet pants from excitement.
Dude, I know.
Between Korra and Pokemon I’ve soiled about 15 pairs of pants. ;-;
I love the new forms but I still feel like we’re getting 2/3 of the pokemon. Maybe there is a third form, the original form?
I just…I CANT EVEN COMPREHEND. I went on FB and saw an article about this and came on here to see cause it seemed strange to me. and MY MIND EXPLODED alkdjgdjfkgh. Really wish I didn’t miss the live stream.
It’s different. And I like it. NO, I LOVE IT.
brb gonna hardcore fangasm. *insert foamy guy for Avatar here*
Yes, it took us, Serebii, Pokebeach and Bulbapedia a lot of effort to fake this and record and hack pokemon smash.
But we’re glad everyone believes this, including you. 😉
Your efforts were marvelous! It seems so legit. ;D
So, um, that thing I was saying about Gray Version being on the DS and not the 3DS? Not gonna say “I told you so” but boy is it tempting right now.
You totally have the reason to me tell that, similarity. I admit I was wrong 🙂
In fact, I’m even doing an article about that one, coming (very) soon.
So, um, that thing I was saying about Gray Version being on the DS and not the 3DS? Not gonna say “I told you so” but boy is it tempting right now. So glad I don’t have to hash out extra money to pay for some pointless 3D effects in my Pokemon game!
