Okay, so, when Nintendo makes a Generation, what do you expect? Two mainstream games and and third game that's essentially the same mainstream game with bonuses added, right? It's been that way for 4 Generations now, with Red and Blue, and then Yellow for Gen. I, Gold, Silver, then Crystal for Gen. II, Ruby, Sapphire, and then Emerald for Gen. III, and Diamond, Pearl, and then Platinum for Gen. IV. So, when Black and White come out, we were all expecting a third game for this generation as well. If you assumed that......you'd be "WRONG!!!!" Because, on August of 2012, Pokemon Black and White 2 will be released. These games take place two years after the plot in the original Black and White, effectively making this a sequel. Let me just summarize this in four words: TOOK...THEM...LONG...ENOUGH!

Okay, so, what we know so far is that for one thing, the two new forms of the ice dragon, Kyurem: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem (which, in my opinion, look like Nintendo found what we spriters do, and attempted to make their own fusion...which went quite well, I might add). Another thing, as of recently, is the fact that there are two new gym leaders, one using Poison type Pokemon, and the other using Water type Pokemon. Whether these are adding on to the current eight gyms or replacing two old gyms, we don't know yet. Also, the main trainers, as well as the rival and the professor, are different. (I personally think the male hero's hair looks dumb, but that's just me). Even the starting town is changed, it being an actual city with a Pokemon Center and everything, instead of just a small little town made up of only 4 houses. As for the the region of Unova, itself, it's eastern half, where Undella Bay, White Forest/Black City, and Lacunosa Town are, is now encased in ice. (How much do you wanna bet that's the work of Kyurem.) Also, some of old is mixing in with new as Pokemon like Riolu, Psyduck, and Metagross, are said to be in the Neo-Unova Dex. There also seems to be a group of people dressed in the same black outfit. It's most likely that these are the new villains. So yeah, a lot of new stuff.

Now, my personal opinion on this bold new move by Nintendo? HOLY HECK YEAH, MAN!! I CAN'T STINKING WAIT!!! I seriously can't wait for these games to come out. It's something new, something different, and something awesome, in my eyes! And what's even better, we still don't know if Nintendo has any more surprises for us.  This is gonna be AWESOME!!!
