its funny how people are mad that they made a 2nd black and white when most of you would have equally been as upset at a pokemon grey.

Some of you are thinking this is milking, uhh no, making a grey would have been milking, this is a NEW game! so what if its the same engine, it makes sense.

and as far as pushing boundaries, when did gamefreak ever make a part 2 of any of their games...well there you go.

Pokemon belongs to nintendo, they can do what they want, none of you are the authority just because you purchase their products. No one tells an artist how to make their art.

Couldn't agree more. 

This kind of attitudes are what creates extreme schisms between fans in most long running series. Some fans believe that the series should go the way they want to and then complain when it deviates even slightly from their "plans" for it. While other fans just appreciate what they're given if the end product is of good quality and actually offers something good and exciting. 

Speaking for myself, i'm much more excited for a true sequel of the best pokemon games of all time (IMO Black&White overcame the greatness that were Gold&Silver) than I would have been for a remake with added features and story events, even if I would have loved that remake, just as I loved Yellow, Crystal, Emerald and Platinum.

In a way, Gamefreak are taking a huge risk with this one, since there has never been a true sequel to the pokemon games. One could argue that they attempted to do so with Pokemon Gold&Silver, but it played out differently than a normal sequel (though I did love being able to explore both Johto and Kanto at the same time). This time, we don't know what to expect from these new games, and that's something to really look forward to
