Pokémon Black and White 2 [SPOILERS]

I apologize if there is a problem with this thread, it's the first one I made. So Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 are released June 23rd in Japan. I hope this to become the place where we speculate and discuss this upcoming game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpQTCNWAc8k At 1:19 is that a robot Tyranitar?

That looked like the set of some Toku show.

Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye on this one. It's the first direct sequel since G/S/C. I wonder what the plot will be like...

Also, I'm digging the ability to encounter Eevee, Riolu, and Mareep in the wild in this one. Looks like it's time to pick and choose bits and pieces of my party in the other games.

I hope they'll actually be common and not be a shaking grass only, -1%, and only when it's swarming like they've done before...

That wasn't too bad for me, but hopefully they'll bump up the encounter rates for cases like that a bit.

Eevee would be good.

Wait, B2/W2 are on DS Classic?

(nods)

so thats what the new pc designs look like...

...uh

I think these may be the games that finally pull me back into the series. I haven't played a game since Gen 3, but I'm not sure why, because I love the 3rd generation.

Cool, to me.

The female one looks like she's a Sailor Moon cosplayer.

Speaking of which.

I love how the one generation I decide to be finantially responsible and wait for the third version, there isn't one.

Still, looks great so far.

I really do want to see what the story is like. Will N return? Was it N's dragon or Hilda/Hilbert's dragon that gave its power to Kyurem? The heck is Ghetsis doing with Sinnoh's Dragon Orbs?

Sweet, don't have to drop cash for a 3DS for this.

Also, FUCK YEAH A POISON GYM FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE AT LEAST GEN II!

Oh, guess this means I can transfer Pokémon from my Black over to B2/W2. Would I need a second DS for that?

Also, I'm kinda indifferent to the new PCs, but the new rival and Homika look really cool.

Is it my corrupt mind, or does the female PC have the biggest knockers among all female P Cs?

Can it be both?

@ Enlong: Considering that the Fused Kyurem's color is opposite that of the respective previous version legendary's color (B1=Reshiram, B2=B. Kyurem and W1=Zekrom, W2= W. Kyurem), I think it's safe to say that it's N's dragon that Fusion Dances with Kyurem-Prime.

However, that still leaves the question of "Why would N fuse his dragon with Kyurem-Prime?", and if N isn't the one that does it, then "Who does?", and "What happened to N?" / "How and why did N get separated from his dragon?" That and the obvious "How did Kyurem-Prime fuse with Reshiram/Zekrom to become W. Kyurem/B. Kyurem in the first place?"

Also, I hope that the Abyssal Ruins (or whatever that undetwater temple thing you need Dive to get to) get explained.

Why are Zekrom and Reshiram Kyurem'd?

I really like the rival as well.

The rival makes me think of a modernized, younger Madara Uchiha, and I have no idea why. Probably just the outfit, though.

No, Kyurem is Reshiram and Zekrom'd

I'm slightly miffed that they haven't announced a 3D pokemon (RPG) game yet, but this should still be interesting.

I noticed something while I was looking at the B&W 2 Unova map. There appears to be two new islands off of Undella Town, which are either brand new areas or those Underwater Ruins revealed above sea level due to the ice.

I hope the main adventure is longer this time, sure the main reason I play Pokémon is for the post game training and how you don't lose everything when a new games comes out, but It'd still be nice to spend more than 10 hours collecting badges...

id prefer it is the games plot didnt railroad me into going to fight the elite 4 before i even see half of unova.

actually id like a little less railroading in general. there was always a reason to stop you from exploring past a certain point before fighting a gym...-sigh-

the old man in the first gym town was particularly egregious.

The guy that prevents you from leaving Pewter before defeating Brock in the Kanto games is so much worse as a road block. Especially if you're playing a hack where Brock is stronger/has a better team.

Because clearly, I should be fighting level 2's in the Viridian Forest when simply over levelling my starter isn't going to cut it.
