So about four months? Is that the fastest a game has ever been localized? It's not near-simultaneous like I'd prefer, but I'll take it!

Now just give me some gameplay footage and screenshots to drool over for the next few months.

I can recall when I first made my way across Skyarrow Bridge and saw Castelia City for the first time. I hope the new game has visuals that measure up.

Very unusual, but looking back, I like that release dates are being changed around. Spring has been the time for games to be released over here for as far back as I can remember, since at least Ruby and Sapphire. We haven't had a main series game released in fall since the original Gold Version and Silver Version, and haven't had a non-spring main series release since Crystal Version was released in the summer of 2001.

I'm confused, what does version 2 have that version 1 does not? Or is it how say ruby, saphire, and crystal relate to each other?

At least it's better than spring 2013 like most people predicted. I'll just get everything spoiled before then though.

As I understand it, it isn't a third version/remake in the vein of Blue, Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, or Platinum. It's more of a direct sequel to the events in Black/White, so will presumably pick up where Black/White left off (what happened to Ghetsis, N being spotted in a faraway land, etc).

They still have to reveal the true identities of the Dark Trinity.

Oh, uh, G-Cis and N are important too... I guess.

Who's the artist behind that comic? Because that is really interesting...

I've got White in Japanese and Black in English. I'll probably be doing the same thing with the sequels. White 2 in Japanese. Black 2 in English... once I finish Black 1 first...

I'm still a little confused. So are these enhanced versions of Black and White or are they different games?

Well, we don't know all of the details yet, but I've been hearing that Matsuda has talked about them being direct sequels to follow the story of Black/White.

There's a bunch on there about the Trial Triangle being the Dark Trinity

Wow, I thought I'd never see the day when a Pokemon game doesn't get released around my birthday ( and my B-day is March 28th so for the last several years they've been releasing them closer and closer to that date.) But this is awesome, I'm very much looking forward to this. And knowing Game freak and the POemon company in general this is not going to be a dissapointment, I hope the graphics are even better in this game! Very Happy

*cough*Pokemon Battle Revolution*cough*

Though I agree that the Game Freak games are generally pretty good. Genius Sonority...eh. Colosseum was alright, I guess, but I never bothered to check out XD.

We need HAL Laboratory to crank out a Pokemon Stadium 3, though.
