...You mean, like, new pokemon? I get a feeling that the Keldeo event is getting closer (but a date has not been set anywhere iirc), and it could be possible to catch Meloetta in the new games (but it will most likely come from a future event).

Highly doubtful as they outright said it would be for the DS no point in making one for 3ds and saying 'hey remember mystery dungeon red and blue? well we fucked you all with having it on two different platforms, you should know better' and be done with it
That would actually be a really cool concept
ugh I am so hyped for this @.@
How do you know we're going to get a sixth generation that quick? Not trying to be argumentative, I just really want to see a new generation. (Unova isn't really my thing.)
People who have been playing the gameboy advance since Ruby and Sapphire would be pretty pissed if the new pokemon game came out for the DS. You'd have to go and get a whole new handheld. And it's not like you can't play gameboy advance games on DS anyways. Everyone has access to it this way. No one is "missing out on sales" for the ds at all.

See what I did there?
That argument makes no sense. The DS is for all extensive purposes dead. Nintendo is pushing the 3ds. It's a more powerful machine with new potential for the series. Just because people are accustomed to something doesn't mean they shouldn't go in the proper direction. I'm not looking at it for a sales standpoint, but rather the standpoint of advancing pokemon as a series. The 3ds provides MUCH more potential than the DS and it's not like the 3ds is an unreasonable price. I'm pretty sure its only a little bit for expensive than the DS was in 2007 with the release of diamond and pearl. Moral of the story, shut up. Platforms evolve and new hardware is more powerful than the old. I'm sick of people being glad that this is on DS. This was a lazy thing on gamefreak's part as they are a first party nintendo development studio. They've had enough time with the 3ds hardware and should be using it effectively, not continuing to do something they are comfortable with. For those who are glad because it's on the DS, sure you can be, but a 3ds is a good purchase, it is a great system, and a pokemon game on 3ds would be a much better experience than on DS.
So, maybe we can expect a different type of dual region game (like G/S/C), except with unova and hoenn.
First sequel in pokemon. Pretty exciting. Looks like they're finally emphasizing on storyline.
Did anyone see 3DS on right corner of the site http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/b2w2/ ? I can't read japanese, but if anyone can translate it, that'll be nice.

If it gets rid of that horrible Dragon/Ice typing (at least in Overused and Uber standards, or for people who don't like hail), I'm in.
Just kidding. I'm getting it no matter what.
(but still what happens to the Dragon-typing?)

Sorry but the whole fusion thing with Kyurem is making me think too much DBZ involvement...
Other than those horrible fusions, about time GF does something new and different than before. I think I might go back to Pokemon if the new games have a additional story, new tutors, and Hoenn! Mostly the latter is going to push me to buy not one, but both.

It means "Can also be played on 3DS".
Im very disapointed.
GF: guys these bitches actually buy the third version of the games
GF: what if...
GF: we made 2 versions of it ! $$$

Wait, so is it confirmed that the new games are going to touch up on Hoenn too?
Empire State Pants going on in here tonight. Totally getting one. I mean the game and an Empire State Pants.
Oh, and to clear some things up that you people keep saying over and over:
-The typing for Kyurem's formes will NOT be determined by what the competative fanbase wants. In fact, is there really anything determined by that? VGC is run by the creators and what does it do? Double battles. No one plays doubles (that was totally serious and not in any way an exaggeration for the few that I know will think that was serious and not in any way an exaggeration). The typing isn't decided by the competative community, they are the creators, they will do what they want with it, and we will have to deal with it.
-They're doing this to make money. Yes. That's why they've been releasing generations in pairs since the day Pokemon was ever created. Red/Blue/Green/Yellow? You think that wasn't for money? They need to pay people who work there. They need to eat. They need to run the company, pay rent, electricity. They need money. They are doing it for the money. They are in it for the money because they need the money. Get over it.
-They're releasing it on DS because not everyone has a 3DS. Everyone who can't get a 3DS by the release date is a lost sale, maybe permanently. If they offer it to the wider market, then they are going to make more money because more people will be able to buy it.
I'm not going to make any speculations. But the speculations I have seen here, especially regarding Hoenn, which is by far my favourite region, please re-read my first sentence. No, my first three.

Lol, they probably do say that. But so what? From a sales standpoint, it's a pretty smart move. It's pretty much the same reasoning behind why the final Harry Potter movie was split into two parts.
I myself will most likely get only one, the decision being entirely based off of which pokemon are exclusive to which version.
So much this ^^
It makes perfect sense. I am such a Team Rocket fan lol
It's hilarious how we all of sudden became Smogon Hardcores to Fanboys
Talking about story line and such. Lol
canno
formerly The Reptile
Pretty sure B2 and W2 are Pokemon "Grey/Gray"
But if there was a "Grey/Gray" they probably would tbh. :\
Didn't people use that same argument when b&w was announced and there was speculation it would be for 3ds?
It's game freaks baby and they can do whatever they want and release it for the ds or 3ds if they want to. Nintendo can say "we'd like it if you made this for the 3ds as it would boost sales for it" but game freak ultimately decides what it's going to be on.
From what I understand, Nintendo owns Creatures. Nintendo owns 1/3 of Pokemon, Creatures owns 1/3 of Pokemon, and Game Freak owns 1/3 of Pokemon. This means Nintendo actually owns 2/3 of Pokemon and has final say, not Game Freak.

P(n) = 1 - (1 - P(1))^n
From a business perspective, a DS release makes the most sense, since you're not limiting your market to early adopters. Let's face it, the number of people who own a DS (or DSi if you count it) dwarfs the number of 3DS owners by an order of magnitude.
Besides, the 3DS is backwards compatible with DS and DSi games.
