[DS] Pokemon Black and White 2

[Jinouga87]

Prepare to have your minds blown!

[Pokemonaces]

I saw, very cool game

[Jinouga87]

Zekrom's new form is awesome! I wonder how that will be brought to the TCG.

[Pokemonaces]

Well in anycase, I'm sure the game will be cool, though I expected the name to be Grey

[Jinouga87]

Yeah I've heard that a lot. People on anther forum I'm on are saying it's coming to the DS over the 3DS and that there's a new region. I wonder if both are true...

[Pokemonaces]

Probably not, since DS is still a very popular handheld and the 3DS is young on the market

[Jinouga87]

Weren't sales on the 3DS low though due to them not putting out what they showed?

[Kaijin]

and that there's a new region.

If that's true you make me a happy geek since I'll be able to eventually add a new arc to my challenge ^^

From the looks of it, I would say that it's more of a sequel than a new game... and more considering how black and white ended. (Thus being the first installment on the series to have a sequel, since Crystal, Emerald and Platinum are restarts rather than sequels).
I was expecting to see a game instead of two (Grey) and focused on Kyurem... but it seems I wasn't too wrong about the last part since Kyurem appears on both "covers", but with different forms though (a la Giratina).

I wonder if this game will cover more of N's backstory though...
So many questions... that only time will tell...

They finally did it, they finally made a sequel! Oh how I'd love for it to be on the Wii..to have full 3D graphics and animated battles.!

There's an old saying: "Don't fix what isn't broken." Putting this on the Wii woud not be a smart move at all.

There's also a saying that "repetition leads to insanity.."

Was only my 2 cents, I always thought that Pokemon could be more than it is. That and, it's hard for me to play small handheld games because of vision problems.

Not looking to argue, was only was giving a comment.

After seeing Colosseum and XD, I'm actually forced to agree with Jinouga there...
Game Freak has still to find a way to make a "big" console game that reaches the high quality level shown by their handheld counterparts.

[Feathers]

True, funding would probably be a problem. I thought Stadium was pretty awesome myself though . I never played XD but from what I heard it wasn't the 3D designs fault, it was the fact that catching Pokemon was completely ruined because they changed the formula. Now in that case, I can agree that they should of not broke the catching part, since that is the main fun part of Pokemon, in my opinion.

I was speaking more towards evolution when I mentioned improved design. Look how big Metroid Prime was when it came out. People doubted the concept at first, but it's one of the most successful port conversions ever made from Nintendo. The same can be said for Super Mario 64, and The Legend of Zelda series. ^^

Konami has the same problm with Castlevania. I never played XD either but I wasn't a fan of the whole taking your opponents Pokemon.

Stadium and Stadium 2 were actually good games, but then again they only focused on battling... No plot, no exploration, etc... And the only way of fully enjoying the game was having a copy of a handheld game, since playing with rentals only was boring and pointless (IMHO).
The said could be said from Battle Revolution...

It would be great if Game Freak managed to find a way to port the system that made the handheld games so succesful to the Wii, but now I'm more concerned on seeing how these new games will turn out... And I'm still looking forward to see the remakes from Gen III (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald).

.P.S.:

Konami has the same problm with Castlevania.

That's a different story though... since the series was amazingly succesful on big consoles till Symphony of the Night, that was the last great non handheld game.

I'm talking about the fact that Konami has yet to make a good 3D Castlevania game. But that's another matter.

Update!

[Kaijin]

So it will finally be for the DS instead of 3DS...

I wonder what will Kyurem forms' typing be? Kyurem is Ice/Dragon but its forms seem able to use Fire and Electric attacks...

The latest vid I posted said that the two new forms will be seperate Pokemon. Type-wise I'm thinking Ice/Fire and Ice/Elec.

[Kaijin]

Ice-Fire is actually quite a great type combination.

Ice gets covers both Water and Ground weaknesses that Fire has.
Fire covers the Steel weakness that Ice has.

So it would only have two real weaknesseses: Rock (x4 since both Fire and Ice are weak to rock) and Fighting.

On the other side Ice-Electric isn't that great...

Sure that Ice covers Electric's natural Ground weakness.
But Electric doesn't cover any of Ice weaknesses at all...

It would have the normal weaknesses that a pure Ice type would have: Rock, Steel, Fire, Fightinig.

White Kyurem seems to be a way better choice than its black counterpart... at least type wise.
