Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 confirmed. Fresh from Pokémon Smash.

Spoiler

Those are either Kyurem's alternate forms, or...

...we're gonna start seeing fusion pokémon in gen 6.

It's on the US site now too!

This is really bumming news.

: (

The level of excitement I just left.

[Saltonara]

Wow, seems like a really cool and fresh concept! I applaud Game Freak's creativity! Day 1 purchase for me!

[[robo9]]

I have a feeling this will lead to a hell of a lot more pokemon fusions

I miss the penis wing.

[Sonikku]

im sure we all wanted a kyurection

I really don't know what to say about this at all.

I mean, on one hand we're getting an updated version of black and white rather than a third version all together. So if game freak is smart enough then the best hope we do have is that we get a shit ton of new areas, actually getting back things like safari zone and pokemon contests, etc..

Or this whole thing is going to be a flop and game freak is literally going to start acting like the fanboys who splice pokemon everyday and the game will be the same fucking thing as version 1.

ether way, I will be happy when I see this in there:

Well jeez, Gamefreak just proved me wrong, they still haven't dropped the phat DSs. :O

And I really hope those are alt forms for Kyruem, (who would have guessed it was hiding a few alts under our noses!) because it'd make sense if were to somehow attain the abilities of Reshiram or Zekrom, like how Zorua can change its shape depending on which critter is at the end of your party formation.

If they're not, however, then I agree with the poster above me; wtf! It's the only thing worse than recolors. I mean, Greek Mythology has a lot of hybrid beasts, but at least they were creative. xD

[Maxpphire]

Honestly, I'm a little dissapoint but I'll try it.

[DioShiba]

bear in mind game freak wanted to get a new start with black and white.

perhaps black/white2 might be what we need, but my only concern is that it's a really huge gamble at this point. Still I don't mind this given that there is so much to improve on in black and white as a whole. Just think of what can be solved here:
-resolution to the first two games plot (which is sort of dumb given that you'd have to have one of the last two versions to understand shit, but that could be okay.)
-more areas to explore in Unova
-bringing back missing features from past games (even if they are novelties like pokemon following you)
-more competitive play

So on and so fourth.

All good points there, and I'll have to admit I was a little disappointed by the lack of options in the Battle Subway, (No battle arcade?! The Hivebrains in Platinum were so cool too.) even if I didn't miss things like the safari that badly. Revisiting the game(s) could be what it really needs, if that's what they plan to do with the sequel. Either way, I'm eager to see what any leaked screenshots will look like, once a few pics are released to the press; will keep an eye on it.
