Pokémon fans, get excited for two incredible new adventures! Announcing Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2, coming soon for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems. The games can also be played in 2D on the Nintendo 3DS™ system.

Keep checking Pokemon.com for details, including news, images, and videos, which will be revealed throughout the year.

Wtf are they doing? The 3rd versions with everything in them are the only versions I've paid for since gen 3. Split it up into 2 games = pirate it or skip for me.

[Akiyama]

Honestly, White/Black's story was really, really good and in depth for a Pokemon game. Wasn't your typical 'beat the E4, win cookie".. I'd try and play it somehow.

But I wasn't expecting a sequel.. I figured it'd be pokemon gray or something.

[Tyrath]

No love for a Kyurem version huh?

[samalis]

Was expecting gray but whatever. I'll just get white this time and GF will get black. I'm hoping they add a shit load of new content at least. Also maybe fix the jaggies during battle. Always bothered me.

[Akiyama]

Well, Kyurem looks to be within Zekrom and Resh.. so, Haha. Maybe we'll get a three-typer sort of poke.

[samalis]

I'm wondering if this will actually be a sequel or just a remake with extra content like crystal,emerald, and platinum. If sequel I wonder how the story would work, considering you beat E4 and all that jazz.

People are saying it says ""Universal release June 2012" from http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/b2w2/

Anyone who reads moonspeak able to confirm?

[Insanecyclone]

Well the US PKN site says updates "throughout the year" so probably not.

[Akiyama]

Can't speak moonspeak, sadly.. but I'm sure someone can. Still, if they do universal release, that'd be amazing.

The words underneath the titles say:

"The latest in the Pokemon Series, coming to Nintendo DS! On sale June 2012!"

I see nothing there that says worldwide simultaneous release. Maybe people are looking at another page for that detail but it's nowhere on the quoted page.

Aw, lame. Thanks for translating!

"Junichi Masuda has revealed the names of Kyurem's new forms via his Twitter account. The forms are simply called Black Kyurem & White Kyurem, though he interestingly lists them as seperate Pokémon"

[Correction]

I guess these new legendaries are basically Reshiram/Zekrom except turning into glass/rock golems? I can't think of any other reason why their designs are such lazy copy/paste retreads of B/W legendaries.

[Rokku]

You know, I can't stop looking at that promo image and doing anything but going "what the fuck Nintendo". I mean, really? Version 2? Crazy looking love-children of the legendaries and Kyurem?

[Warudo Ecksu]

I had heard that there was going to be a big pokemon announcement this week. At least I'll have something to use my 3DS for other than swapnote drawing penises.

[Akiyama]

I'm glad it's on regular DS. I don't want to buy a 3DS lol

[Not Kuno]

Apparently this is a sequel so..... Fucking awesome.

[Serra]

I wanna know if there are going to be new pokemon with this, or is it a sequel in the sense of the 3rd version games, just split up? Guessing not since they haven't even made all the extra legendaries available yet. Seems like they're just doing an experiment to see how splitting the third game into 2 affects sales..

[Makwa]

So this is the "gray"? ....It'll take some getting used to these DNA digivolutions.
Will most likely get a copy, seeing as how I haven't played White much, beat N then lost the cartridge.

We don't know yet, from what people are saying is that it's most likely a sequel instead of just a rehash with added content like gray would be. But I guess we'll find out when they leak more info.
