I have absolutely no idea how to respond to the release of these two games.Its interesting but with the lack of info its hard to pass judgement. I probably wont get them even if they are real sequels instead of directors cuts. I've got better rpgs to play (devil survivor 2 anyone?).Not that i don't love pokemon, but its getting a little old. ill get back to it in a year or two and hopefully by then things will feel a little more fresh.

Bad thing for you, you were only carrying your starter and the main legend at that time (and Amanita's PC is unavailable for some reason [it wouldn't be fair for the game to give ALL your pokemon from the previous game, would it?]) and they somehow got infected with the same level-decreasing dissease the pikachu from the show suffers every time a new season begins.

i would go and hack the game...is my response

Actually bad thing for you that the theif is carrying something that no theif has though of carrying in Pokémon EVER before! A gun!

But seriously though, it would be simple enough for Gamefreak to make it part of the story that you walk out of your house after hearing a noise, suddenly the screen goes white (yes, you'd white out ) & when you wake up your pokémon are gone.Maybe they stole your PIN to the Pokécentre PC & robbed your boxes too? You could even forget your name in a strange part of Unova so you'd have to enter a new name... later on you could choose to keep it or change BACK to your B&W name.

EDIT: No, you get your pokémon back at the same level they were stolen... Gamefreak would seriously annoy (<-read that to be a rude word I'm not allowed to type) a lot of gamers if they delevelled peoples pokémon. I'd say you get them back after the Elite4 ooooor completing the main storyline. Whichever comes last.

Though to be honest, having a direct sequel using the same character wouldn't work in the world of pokemon.

Why? Simply because you'd need to find a way to explain why your character hasn't any of his/her previous pokemon or items that doesn't involve a "lost in combat" kind of scenario.

I think they'll go with the same "X years later, new kid in town, trainer from the previous game is legendary by now and is unknown where it is at right now" thing they have used twice already.

Though I really want to know what will the do.

Samus just tells you to deal with it

I'm curious how you will trade with Black and White versions if they are in the past. Maybe they'l just ignore the fact that Black 2 and White 2 are in the future if they even are in the future. I am curious. Curiosity did kill the Meowth though so I gotta be careful.

Your question was answered ten years ago with the introduction of the trading time machine in gold and silver.

Black and White import pokemon from 4th gen just fine, but that's beside the point as Black 2 and White 2 will still be 5th gen. We just won't be able to trade Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. Easy.

slaps myself in the head

Oh, so THAT'S why there's the moves Freeze Shock and Ice Burn! Why didn't I think of that before?

So if Black Kyurem and White Kyurem are being listed as separate Pokemon, do you reckon we'll catch them in one form we can't change? /shrug

By the way, why hasn't this been moved to DS/DSi already?

Because we can't move topics here on the forums, Nibelilt. We'll be able to when the eventual forum update hits, but for now it's fine where it is.

Pokémon B&W2 needs to have more to do than just new pokémon and a new story. I think they should incorporate the other 4 regions into the story, letting you travel to them on a boat (like the sevii islands). That way you could catch each of the pokémon in their original regions.

But of course if this is the filler game that I think it is, they'll have one new region and just a single new team to take on... team Higgs-Boson.

Maybe we get to play through Black & White again, but this time as N? Or even better, we start off as a low level Plasma grunt & work our way up through the ranks while snagging pokémon and cash along the way... kind of a GTA/Saints Row/Pokémon mash-up. Grand Theft Rowkémon?

Wow, I'm honestly surprised everyone else is getting it this fall. That's great! Really excited to learn more details about the game.

I feel like this will have some sort of HUGE Battle Frontier, considering all the new mechanics, Street/SpotPass integration, since they can totally do that, battlews with the 7 sages and the return of N as a protagonist, claiming that "I used side with the wrong people, until one day I met this teen who changed my life for the better. I want to rematch him, so I can show him what I'm really worth." and the new character would "look up" to Black/White. Chen could be the new champion or a Gym leader, like Blue, and Bianca could be the professor's assistant. There will most certainly be another region (sub-region maybe) and this can all fir on a SD card, seeing as DS games can hold up to 16GB now.

Has it even been legitimately confirmed the game will have 3DS exclusive features when popped into one? I don't see GameFreak doing that. If It happens I can't see the enhanced features being anything more than ugly tacked on 3D. If I'm wrong though, hurray. ( I would absolutely love one of the enhanced features to be the game using the 1 FC 3DS has.)

I'd love the games to include a "3DS mode" where the game uses the whole 3DS screen and in-game scaling that doesn't look blurry. (ala Harvest Moon: Tale of two Towns, but in the same cartridge maybe?)

Would be nice, but is that even possible? :/ If it is, i wont even mind if the game is in 2D

@Zerox

I agree this will probably have a new story (based on the title at least) and I would hope that they would incorporate a Battle Frontier similar to Emerald or Platinum/HG/SS. Your ideas for the plot certainly sound interesting.

However, as far as I know, DS games can not hold up to 16 GB; no where near that actually. If memory serves, the largest capacity DS game card is 512 MB. For that matter, 3DS game cards only currently go up to 4 GB, and that's only for the largest of games like Resident Evil.
