Pokemon Black 2 and White 2
...Yup. For real.
http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-vi...ite-version-2/
They're for the DS... WHAT? The 3DS has been out for practically a year. This does not compute, at all.
However, a sequel. For the first time since G/S/C. That makes me very excited.
Re: Pokemon Black 2 and White 2
This makes me very, very sad actually.... I'm not even a major pokemon fan.. But this stricks a nerve.. As to me it's just milking the cow after the huge success of white and black a few years ago..
Re: Pokemon Black 2 and White 2
w.t.h did they do to the legendaries?!? They look like zombies! And whats wrong with just coming out with Pokemon Gray???
Jebus...

It was probably easier to release a DS game then port it to the 3DS, considering the 3DS can already play DS games. They wouldn't lose much money on it.

Black and White were only released like a year and a half ago - in Japan.
And really, it's not milking so much. It would have been if it were just Grey.

What, you wouldn't rather have a real sequel? Grey would have just been an enhanced port. I'd take a full new game over that anyday.

So the design of the Pokemon matters more than the actual game?

No, its goes hand-in-hand. Sure, the last few games have been pretty much the same, but thats the formula Ive grown up on and have come to enjoy, I dont mind that theyre the same. I also dont mind when they try something new, and am a big fan of the pokemon ranger games. Just dont go screwing with pokemon designs

Oh, gee, I guess they should just ignore their success. That's always a profitable business strategy. They should try it on Mario and Metroid; instant riches.
I think it is an interesting concept. Hopefully, they expand the region, or do something to make it it less linear. We knew there was going to be a new form for Kyurem(and you should feel horribly stupid if you didn't.) I can't say I'm delighted by the new forms, but they're not terrible.
I'm about as excited for Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 as I was for Pokemon Black and White; which is to say, not very thrilled, but not put off.
Re: Pokemon Black 2 and White 2
The last Pokemon game I played was Ruby, but this is something I can get behind once I get a DS.
A sequel for a Pokemon game sounds better than a "Grey" version, although I will say I LOVED Crystal.

Bit disappointed it's not an entirly new game like "Pokemon Magenta" or something.
This. The ending for Black/White was pretty left open. Id also really like it if you can go back to the previous regions.
But Kyurems new forms still bother me >_>
We'll see what kind of back-story they give for the change.

They were mixed with the ugly dragon Pokemon that's going to be the mascot for Grey. Anyways I am VERY, VERY disappointed, not because it's just to make more money but because it's for DS and not the 3DS, this is why Nintendo is getting on my nerve and this is why there sales are decreasing.

Then Nintendo shouldn't have released a 3DS if the latest games are still going to be on the DS. =/

Why... The 3DS is only the DS with 3D capabilities, not anything incredibly new and spectacular to cause the DS to be obsolete like the PS2 v. PS3... Gotta remember a lot of people are not fans of 3D stuff yet. Like me, I wouldn't buy a 3DS since I don't want to play my games in 3D..

The 3DS& the DS was supposed to be like the PS2 and PS3, people just didn't take it seriously because Nintendo did such a crappy job on it like everything they're doing right now, I mean look at the Vita, that's an improvement, in any case you're about the 3D though, most adults aren't interested in it.

I couldn't even possibly care less about the 3D, but the 3DS is very much a next generation console compared to the DS.

The Vita has A LOT of issues (including incredibly expensive memory cards and no backwards compatibility for PSP, except for rebuying those games digitally). I really don't see how it's so much more of an improvement over the PSP, versus the 3DS being an improvement over the DS.
They both have a great gap of power relative to their respective last generation console. Just because the Vita is more powerful doesn't really mean anything. The weakest console of the generation wins. Every single time.
I don't mean to be all down on the Vita, I don't wish failure upon it at all, and am sad to see it tanking (it really is), but you all are way too biased here.
Re: Pokemon Black 2 and White 2
For everyone saying about how it should be on the 3ds because its the newest-
Just wanna say, Sony still makes PS2 games
Just sayin'
Re: Pokemon Black 2 and White 2
PSVita has a lot to work on so far although the ability to now crossplay is quite nice. Tried it out with some friends with BlazBlue. Like Bassonist said, I really hate that fact that PSP games can only be played digitally although it was expected with the PS2 games approach and I don't mean the HD remasters but the actual PS2 approach. That's simply crap.
Now about the B&W sequel; I guess I'm not really excited about this but I'll be following it. I think this is much better than Pokemon Gray, making a 3DS version of it and creating another set of ugly Pokemon. What do like is that the "third" game is actually two games. Also, considering this is a direct sequel; why the fuck would they make it for 3DS? I think the better approach is to make it for DS, especially the the NDS's it's not even close to being obsolette.

Except that Pokemon Grey isn't happening. So, it would be the ugly dragon that has two other forms which are the mascots for Pokemon Black 2 and White 2.

I don't know if you've ever seen a 3DS, but it is far more like the love child of the Wii and a "smart" phone.

This. And, I was under the impression that the remakes of Ruby and Sapphire were going to be for the 3DS.

You might as well wait for the localization. It'll only take till September or October, unless they get hit with another tsunami; in which case, November.

Do you have any proof that it isn't happening? I'm sure it's going to happen, every generation has had that "3rd" game, it's probably going to be for the 3DS in a couple of years if Nintendo is smart about anything.

Well, since Game Freak has already used Kyurem, the only other option would be Genesect, and it is purple. Also, if you haven't noticed a certain pattern, the third games will probably be named Pokemon Black 3 and White 3.
Re: Pokemon Black 2 and White 2
So they do something out of the ordinary once....
And people are hating on it, even though they haven't even seen as much as gameplay yet.
*Sigh*
This release is pretty much going to retire the greatest selling handheld console ever.
And no I would rather have this rather than the generic remix that they always do.
