If a mod could move this over to the DS thread that'd be great. It's just been confirmed it's for the DS. Made this the second it was announced, so my bad.

Just announced minutes ago on Pokemon Smash (A japanese television show) Pokemon: White 2 and Pokemon: Black 2
The first direct sequels in main Pokemon games, ever. Also confirmed: Kyurem has 2 new forms. Their names are just Black Kyurem & White Kyurem. The release date is June 2nd in japan.
Discuss.

WTF happen to my pogeymang?!

I can't decide which to get. I thought the forms looked lame in the poster but they look bad*** there. :< Let's see... Freeze Shock or Cold Burn? Cold Burn I think. But now I decided I like Electrice better! Descisions, descisions... Which one are you guys getting?

I

I

I CANT COMPOSE MYSELF ATM

AUUUUGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE YOU GAMEFREAK

Geez, I have no idea how to feel about this. I'm a bit mad and happy at the same time. Soooo much speculation going on in my head right now too. This is crazy.

Can we say that they're running out of ideas now? I mean, I've been saying it since R/S/E, but now it's like official right?

Eeyup.

Dammit, Gamefreak. Why not make ONE on DS and the other on 3DS?!?! /RAGE!!1!1!1

I need more information before I decide if this is good or bad.

This image pretty much confirms DS only- no 3 here

First off, I love the new Kyurem forms. Not just because they look totally awesome, but because they appear to be fusions of Kyurem and the 2 legends. If this means fusion, even if only with legends, is somehow coming to Pokemon my mind will be blown. I thought Kyurem was cool before, but ..wow.
I'm really curious how they game is even go to be laid out,story wise. If it picks up right where B/W left off with it's story this could be a sign of GameFreak getting serious about giving Pokemon games stories.
I'm disappointed it's on DS. I mean, I'm not surprised. At all. But I really want to see what can be done with Pokemon on the 3DS.
I know nothing about this game yet though, so I'm not going to complain or praise just yet.

Won't repeat what i did in chat, but well played nintendo well played.

Still they missed a big money flood for a Nintendo Network online DLC pokemon game.

This is cool and all, but I want to see the movie more.

I guess their engine isn't ready yet. Think about it this way; it would be too complex to port the Gale of Darkness engine onto a 3DS, let along porting the pokemon figures. They have made brand new ones for G5 in the Pokedex 3D, but htne they need to reformat the 493 other pokemons to fit on a 3DS cartridge. My guess is they'll wait for 8GB storage on 3DS cards to proceed.

From what I posted in the 3DS topic about this:

I'll have to jump in on this one. I skipped out on Black & White, and I really don't want all my hard work across 4 games and over 8 years to just go away, so hopefully there'll be a Pal Park I can transfer ALL of my Pokémon through.

"Both games will be released for the Nintendo DS in June 2012 but will apparently sport additional DSi and 3DS features"

Maybe 3D? MAYYBEEEE??????!?!?!?

Also the mascots seem to be reversed to the colors match.... AND now we are all have purchased 4 games into gen 5 instead of 3 if it was grey! YAAYY MARKETING

^ Everybody thought that about Black and White 1, remember? but it didn't happen. Unless they hint at it somewhere don't get your hopes up.

I thought this was a joke.. Cannot believe this is real

Welp, because I got White last time, I'll get Black 2.

Unfortunately, yes.

its not ruby sapphire remakes but god i hope its better then black 1 & white 1
