The hypetrain is going harder and harder. Rumours spread around the internet and fake scans appear. We’re back to prerelease-season!
But all those things aside, what would YOU want to see from Black & White 2? Give us your best shot at what you think will appear in the new games. Do you believe there will be a new region, or even new Pokémon? Everything’s possible!
I’ll be busy going shopping and enjoying my Easter Break, but the rest of the team is standby to bring your full coverage of Corocoro. It can leak anytime soon, so keep an eye on this site.

Here are my heart’s desires:
The Pokemon follow you. This was the game’s manifestation of the bond between a trainer and their Pokemon that previously only existed in the anime and manga. This was an incredible feature.
Honestly, new characters. I feel Hilda/Hilbert, Cheren, and Bianca have played their parts in Black and White and it’s time for a new cast to shine. I still have no idea when B/W 2 takes place, but it’s been stated to be a “direct sequel”, which I interpret as it taking place directly, or fairly soon after the events of B/W. New characters are the only way I can see this working, since it doesn’t make sense for Juniper to have the character ditch all of the previously caught Pokemon.
A hope somewhat branching from the previous thought and hope involves the fact that N has fled to a faraway land. This has to involve him someway. I’m hoping it features somewhat of a sub-region in Gen V, similar to Orre and Fiore in Gen III, and this is where N has gone. What if, similar to ganondolphin’s rumors (which I don’t believe have any truth to them since the only truth we thought we had were the scans, now proven to be fake) this region sort of branches off from Unova. It has all of the Unova Pokemon, but there are new evolutions and pre-evolutions stemming from its sister region.
Then the characters living in this region have to deal with N’s arrival on the dragon he captured at the end of B/W. This explains still using Unova starters, and not being Hilda or Hilbert. Some of the Unova gym leaders could have come here as well. Hell, this could even be where Chili starts that Fire Gym he talked about, or where Iris gets a gym of her own. I think the idea of a sub-region to Unova is very appealing.
That said, I’d like to see some new Pokemon. I know this is not Gen VI yet, but if the new Pokemon were to come from Gen V Pokemon I see this as possible. After all, as many have stated, Game Freak is throwing us for a loop here, they have been since Black and White. They’re breaking patterns we used to predict their actions.
Black and White were announced the same day in Japan AND the US. The same thing happened with these games, and this is the first time in all of the main games, and possible all of the games period (I’m not sure) that we get the game the same year it comes out in Japan. We had to wait a full year for Black and White after it was announced here, but we are getting it Fall 2012, the same year the games were announced.
Given all of these broken trends I’m not ruling out anything really, because I see it all being possible.
I’d love to see some new Evos for the monkeys. I always thought they’d be like Eevee and have some different type evos. Hope so.
Also better region, not a fan of Unova layout.
I quite liked the pokemon following you too. Might be nice to have the option to turn it on or off then it would please everyone 🙂
i want those rumours to be true! I know that scan was fake, but the person who made it just based it off the rumour so anything is possible at the moment!
What I am really hoping for is the new region. I swear, GameFreak must know at this point that a new story in the same region is not enough to satisfy their fans. I don’t mind not entering a new generation, but it would be kinda ridiculous considering there are TWO versions. Just imagine if they were both designed the same way Platinum was, with the ONLY difference being the Kyurem formes. That would truly suck and prove that they only want more money. I’m sorry, but I stick to that statement if what I hope doesn’t occur is true.
I think that we should think logically about Black and White 2. From what we’ve seen in part 1, there’s a lot of unexplained characters and happenstance around all of Unova.
Starting with the characters, we’ll defiantly see N’s two sisters take a more prominent role in the story, with N making a re-appearance near the end of the story. Ghetsis probably won’t be part of the story, but the Shadow Triad will. Perhaps both Reshiram and Zekrom will be prominent as well, but I think we can assume that the story will revolve mainly around Kyurem.
Unova is a very land locked region with much of the surrounding land unexplored to us, as it’s only a sequel, it will also take place in Unova but perhaps we’ll see some sort of Kanto/Johto thing happening but perhaps we’ll continue to the north. Regardless, we’re going to see more of this vast region.
To have these games come out this fast they’ve had to have used the same basic map from the first one, and to have another two games come out besides one means that there will still be many version differences, perhaps we will see Unova go completely futuristic like Opelucid City in Black 2. Or a nature driven region where cities are no more than a gym and a few homes in White 2.
All I know for sure is that we’ll be seeing Unova in a whole new light and that we could possibly be seeing some vast differences from every other Pokemon Generation.
Expect the unexpected.
New Pokemon, MAYBE 3D models for battling (sprites would be fine too)
The “Pokemon follow you” system used in Heartgold…
That’s basically it.
1. The Owl dude would be awesome
2. A new region
3. Exotic cool storyline Ex: Rainforests, Volcanoes, Glaciers, Deserts and such.
More of an adventure and fun stuff and quests other than just beating boring gyms.
But this probably wont happen because why not name it something different than black and white 2? Because it has to be a continuation of sorts.
I want rematches for gym leaders,
Pokemon following you, (i found it very dumb that the game that preached pokemon being free left this out)
Custom Main characters,
Going to an old region,
More pokemon from previous regions,
More triple/rotation battles.
And that’s it.
I think it’d be cool if all the Unova Pokemon in BW2 have their hidden abilities. THat seems like the kind of gimmick they would do, right? Plus that way we could actually get them.
So I’ve said this a couple of times, and I think many people already know this:
Gold/Silver were actually called Red and Blue 2 at first. They had a new region, though significantly smalled, to explore, along with the old region, simplified.
I would want the new (original character) hero to start in an extension of Unova and then work his way through, until he meets the hero from B/W and helps him confront N. When N is beaten, the hero from B/W releases his Legendary and forces N/makes N realize that it’s better to release his. Then you can catch both.
I don’t care that much for new Pokes, since I don’t want to take a gamble at them ending up shitty.
What I do want is:
-bigger and more significant graphical and gameplay enhancements of the seasons system.
-better use of weather. Get inspired from the rainy routes in R/S/E
-Widescreen support for the 3DS (possible to do even with a DS game)
-3D effects for the 3DS (possible to do even with a DS game)
-Some new areas
-Post E4 something happens that floods old pokes over the already existing areas. this creates a balanced mix of old and new okes.
But most importantly:
– MY POKEMANZ BETTER FOLLOW ME
L=A
my wishlist
-starters ability has a side effect of transforming them into a new form
-genosect event with a battle with an npc mewtwo battling with you
-SAFARI ZONE,
-indentity of shadow triad ninjas
– changing the pokedex sprites into other art styles
– use of internet within the game
– extracievery messages voiced by voice actors
i want to see these new character in a anime on the air/ t.v. i mean
