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.

Out June 2nd.

From Masuda’s twitter.
I’ve seen some speculation that this might actually be a mix between the 5th and 3rd generations.
If you look at the logo, Pokemon Black 2 has a blue gemstone….while Pokemon White 2 has a red gemstone.
Ive seen some speculation that the earth is flat.
I do not want it to be in Hoenn in anyway possible. RSE deserves its own game, either because you thought they were awesome and want to see it again, or a second chance if you hated the game.
That’s it. I quit. YOU WIN, NOSTALGIA! IT’S SUPER EFFECTIVE!
No they don’t. If HGSS weren’t released you’d be seeing Lugia and Ho-oh in them XDDDD
They’re the patterns of Reshirams/Zekroms tail. Simple as that.
What are you talking about?
I wanted to reply to the comment below yours, sorry for that.
Cant be the first time someone did that unintentionally, It makes no sense for the name and all to appear below and so unobvious .____.
Look at those lines on the 2’s!!!! they resemble Kyogre/Groudon in some way 😀
No they don’t. If HGSS weren’t released you’d be seeing Lugia and Ho-oh in them XDDDD
They’re the patterns of Reshirams/Zekroms tail. Simple as that.
Masuda’s Twitter doesn’t say what day it’s out, actually. There’s just so many 2’s that someone misread it.
And, I thought this announcement was just gonna be about Keldio or something
Also, I have to wonder if the names will change before release…
Wow, wasn’t expecting Kyuram and Kyurom (that’s what I’m calling ’em), but that’s awesome nonetheless. 😀 Looks like I’m getting both games again! XD
I’m quite relieved that those will be for the DS instead, I don’t feel like shelling out a ton of money for a 3DS when I own a perfectly good DSi XL that I saved up so much for. If they ever do plan to make R/S remakes within this gen, I hope they keep it consistent and have them on the DS as well.
Wouldn’t hope for that.
Nine main games on the same handheld is already a bit too much.
… I knew it. Kyurem is a parasite. More exactly, a space parasite. Almost like deoxsys!
I use my Polymerization card to fuse my Red Eyes Black Dragon (Zekrom) with my Kyurem!!!
I just use my dispolymerization card on Kyurem, which lets him fall apart in Black and White Kyurem.
Kyurem’s formes look a lot better than its original forme, I must admit. Maybe it’s because it actually has “normal” eyes.
I’m not sure which game to get for myself and for my younger bro. I picked White, he picked Black, so maybe White 2 and Black 2, respectively? Also, I’d be so stoked if Hoenn was included in this game, too!
Now that you mention it, suddenly the empty eyes make complete sense. xD
And yes, if they are sequels, you can’t just go and buy the opposite one all of a sudden.. >:0 Actually I think it’ll be important to get the same coloured sequel as your first game. There’s not much difference between B and W, but it’ll still be there, right?
Personally I’m the slightest bit bummed because this breaks my tradition of buying the third game in each series (I don’t have BW!!! Please don’t hurt me!!!!!!) but it’s entirely outweighed by them punching tradition in the face. 😀 So proud of our lil’ Game Freak. And I am estatic about this RS speculation, even more tradition-breaking, I am all for it. Some people don’t like all this shaking up, it looks like, but Pokemon as a whole has needed new vitality for long enough.
Why wouldn’t you be able buy the other?
It’s just going to have some minor story differences and as always, exclusive Pokémon. It’s not that they would incorporate some sort of save file transfer.
This should be good news, but I’m apprehensive:
Two games seems even more cashgrab than usual. That is unless, like someone said, they are also connected with Ruby/Sapphire, which could be interesting.
Kyurem’s new formes actually seem to have really bad designs if you ask me – way too samey. And what will they be called?
Black 2 and White 2? Really? Having avoided lazy sequel naming (Pokemon Stadium aside) for so long, they fall straight into it now? I hope those aren’t the final names.
However, if the 2 means they’re sequels, that would actually be kinda interesting, seeing what they would do to existing places. Maybe they’d make Unova less boringly linear?
I’m eating my old shoes when they aren’t sequels.
If they weren’t, they would just call it Gray and release only one game.
But think of the money!
If they want money, they should release it on the 3DS and sell everything in small packs of DLC for a few dollars a pop.
Want a different coloured bike? 2$! An extra Master Ball? 5$! Unlock flee from trainer battle? 10$!
I am curious if they are going the sequel route. Naming it Black 2 and White 2 is a huge break from tradition so anything is possible.
It would be stupid to call something 2 while it is hardly a remake, wouldn’t it?
If only stupidity were a business consideration, what a different world we would live in. 🙂 One can only hope that this is a continuation of the game, a true sequel for a change. But I doubt it. I think it will be two version of what would be pokemon grey with some minor changes. I don’t know that they will break that far from their traditional pattern.
So releasing two versions and slapping two on it isn’t breaking with traditions?
That remains to be seen. For all we now, it is just the expected Pokemon Grey, in two versions, to get more money. The question is does a naming convention actually mean anything substantial.
I don’t think money is a primary concern. If 1 out of 5 buys two versions, it would only add some 1 or 2 million sales. Which is certainly not bad, but I don’t think Gamefreak is going the activision way.
They don’t need to be totally new, but I except them to pack a lot more change than they’ve done with previous ‘remakes’.
the 5th gen of the games was all about tradition being it so bring it on Nintendo & GameFreak, Im just happy that my prediction that kyurem’s forms wont be limited to one, who knew that they will make direct sequels from the pair versions of pokemon black and white, anyways 3ds owners should be shut the idea of the games being on 3ds, the designers in many interviews they had after the release of black and white..have categorically made statements that there will be no pokemon black and white in 3ds, with the circumstances surrounding the 2 new games, they are just keeping what they promised. whats the sense of making it 3d when in fact the game’s signature graphics is 2d. not to mention that pokemon games in general have a relatively huge amount of game data, imagine adding extra bytes there is quite impractical . I sense there will be a launch of a tao trio toyline similar to digimon where in you can combine kyurem to zekrom and reshiram.
Just thought I’d let everyone know that the game is supposed to come with additional DSi and 3DS features…probably just the X-Transceiver though.
Also, am I the only one wondering what type these two will be?
I am so beyond excited right now, I cannot even describe it. I’m glad I’m the only one home right now, because my family would’ve thought I was going crazy or something…I yelled quite a bit… :$
Why no 3DS 🙁
Oof, don’t even get me started.
Kyurom and Kyuram in generation 5.5 games?
Not sure if I should fangasm or wait for info/screen shots…
ya know, with this game being announced, i had an idea, when news starts pouring in about this game. I think we should try our best to limit ourselves from looking at it, and especially from trying to play the game early before it comes out. don’t you all remember the surprise and confusion you got when you’d go into a new area or find a new pokemon in the old days? Well lets try that again with this game.
so i guess its a slow news day(!)
im not too fussed at it being on ds cause ill just play it on the 3ds..! see problem solved.
i like the new formes, they seem cool (sorry i know im not that punny)
I guess ill get both, although one at a time(white first methinks), start with good ol oshawatt in one and start with the fourth starter in the other one(!)
Yes, it’s really a slow news day. I hoped for more stunfisk merchandising, and they come up with this. I’m seriously disappointed.
I’m reserving my real opinion for an exciting article coming in the next few days.
Similarity will love it 😛
We got BW 2 instead of Gray, how surprising.
I think that the mashup looks awesome! I didn’t like Kyurem’s basic form much because he looked like a frozen chicken wing (I know I’m not the first to say this). Now what type will they be? Also, I’m expecting new character designs for this game. Not just the player character and rivals, the Gym Leaders, Elite Fours, and Alder too.
But regardless of however magnificent logo design of the game… I know the English title will have that unfitting yellow and blue Pokémon logo on it. *sigh*
Well, it was called ‘frozen chicken wing’ by Pokéxperto, during the leak of the whole dex.
And I don’t expect many redesign of existing character, but rather them together with a whole new cast.
It will probably end up like how Kanto was in Gold and Silver. Except hopefully with areas epanded instead of downgraded.
Which makes me realize that G/S had a new region – MAYBE SO WILL THESE! Well, probably not. Maybe it’ll be Hoenn!
Now I have to go explore Pokemon Black to see what needs a sequel!
I have a prediction!
Paired games have always been an alternate-universe situation. The games are the same, but you can find different Pokemon, or the storyline is even slightly different.
Black and White played this up with having cities that existed only in one version.
So my prediction is that B2/W2 will play it up even further – if they are sequels, which is probable, they will be sequels only to their namesake, and I think this will result in alternate timelines! Remember how Reshiram/Kyurem represented truth/ideals? These new games will be based off the worlds resulting from choosing one of these.
Or maybe that’s too deep for Pokemon, and we will just get different Gym Leaders and cities like in B/W, but up to eleven!
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DS?!!!!!!
Just oh my God is really all i can say. The new forms are soo cool. The new games aswell was just an extremly welcome bonus 😀 😀
SOOO EXCITED FOR THESE!!!
would never have guessed sequels….was so adamant it would be Gray..lol.
I would love them to be connected to Hoenn…the game logos certainly suggest it but well see- i can definitely see them conneting to other places beyond Unova..i mean Anville Town is just screaming out for a railway expansion of that train in the centre (IT MUST GO SOMEWHERE!!), not to mention the airport which could take you to hoenn or somewhere else…
i really cant see any new pokemon beyond these form changes, new pokemon generally means new gen in fan terminology… maybe a couple new ones but not much…
I cant wait to see how they change the current areas of unova.. hmm, maybe pinwheel forest will have overgrown nacrene city lol.
I can see the striaton city gy leaders possible have splitted up??
i could go on forever ol…so much stuff that could have happened lol..
