Love the graphics you've created for your write-ups mZuzek.

Thanks, they're actually the same layout as last year's but they were good enough to keep

Anyways, I want today's game guessed, so here goes another hint!

#38 - The only numbered sequel in the mainline series of a franchise over 25 years old.
Hint 2 - It was announced with a cool anime trailer that put this franchise's actual anime to shame.
Hint 3 - It was the last mainline game in the series to primarily use 2D graphics; there's a perception that they went downhill since the move to 3D.

Took a bit of thinking, Pokémon Black and White 2
