Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 for DS Coming to Japan in June

I know I said in my last post (today for me) that I was going to cut down on news, but this shiz-nit is major. The "third" entry of the fifth generation of Pokémon has been announced, but it's not what most expected. It seems the theoretical Pokémon Gray for 3DS will not be coming out, instead two games will take its place: Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2 will be coming out in Japan this June on the old-school DS. The featured mascot for both games is the Pokémon Kyurem, though it seems to be fused with the legendary Pokémon Zekrom and Reshiram for Black 2 and White 2 respectively, though Zekrom and Reshiram were the mascots for the opposite game in their original appearances.

DragonBall Z's Fusion technique meets Pokémon. It was inevitable.

This is quite the shocker. Everyone who gave half a damn about Pokémon expected the "third version" of Black and White was going to be on the 3DS and be called Gray Version. That may be why Nintendo decided to take this route, because no one expected it. The big thing for me is that it's on the now-archaic DS. While this will benefit those kids who haven't upgraded (like my sister, who didn't get my DSi until I got my 3DS), those who have may feel like they're being cheated on. There is some rumors of bonus features for DSi and 3DS users, so that may quell some misgivings. All I can say now is that me and my sister probably should finish up Black and White, because we're both really early in our respective adventures, even though we bought the games on their release date.
