Wow. This is the worst announcement for a Pokemon game of all time.

.I really liked the look of Kyurem and now they have dressed it in Zekrom and Reshiram features.
.Adding 2 to the end of the name is very unoriginal, surely it will take a completely new name (such as Ebony and Ivory).
.Everyone excepted a release of Pokemon Black/White on the DS, however it's sequels should take the jump to 3DS.

Anyone just want a Pokemon Rainbow with a world as vast as Skyrim?

really, and the reason are 100% financial:

- a 3DS Pokemon sure would sent 3DS sales very high, which they don't want right now because they are selling 3DS at a loss, so they will announce a 3DS Pokemon within the next 2 years probably, when 3DS gets profitable

- they lost a lot of money this year, so they choose to develop a low cost title instead of high cost one, which will be more profitable helping the financial situation



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Nintendo said that the 3DS will become profitable starting April this year.

Correct, why would B/W 2 on 3DS not be profitable then?

@NintendoPie The Hoenn remake games might come on 3DS. The full reason behind putting the games on DS might be revealed next week. I'm still hyped to see what's coming!

The full reason is because it would be stupid to release a successor to a 13 million selling game for a 15 million selling console only, especially when considering that the DS has a 150 million install base. Why ignore them when you can have both, and why waste so many resources?

Get real, people.

Pokémon Black and White 2 was announced instead of Gray which the cool people expected to be a DS game anyway. Some of you guys are acting as if this was Generation VI being put on the DS.

B/W2 will release in June in Japan, so a Generation VI release on the 3DS is still possible to happen during the next fiscal year (ending in March 2013), at least in Japan. Naturally, it's probably not going to be announced before B/W2 is released.

Nintendo's main battle is in Japan, so they'll try to stagger the releases of their 3DS games as best as possible instead of having long droughts without any big games. Given the situation the Vita is in, the 3DS can be in cruise mode right now, so the Japanese release schedule for the next four months is sufficient. The Vita is not going to gear up until the second half of 2012 and that's when Nintendo plans to release Super Mario Bros. 3DS and who knows, perhaps Monster Hunter 4 is ready by then too. This, along with the countless smaller releases, would be enough to fend off the Vita for the year and spring 2013 would have Pokémon Generation VI.

Hopefully that'll be a 3DS Exclusive. That would just demolish the already crused VITA.

I am 100 % sure that Generation VI will be a 3DS exclusive. I am 99 % sure that there won't be a Pokémon Gray now that B/W2 has been announced.

I was talking about MH4. That is why I bolded it, Rol. Still, I agree with your above statements.

I guess we can appreciate that, but we can all agree on a name change and changing the Kyurem forms.

Spring 2013 means Black and White 2 won't even last for one whole year. At the earliest, Gen VI will probably release June 2014 to keep up the 2 year trend. (Platinum and Black/White released 2008 and 2010) 

Agree with everything else though.

HG/SS released around a year before the release of Black and White.
