It would appear that this game takes place two years after the first.

Unfortunately, they were referring to Freeze Shock and Ice Burn. It roughly translates, "Kyurem now has a move with 140 BP, which is above Reshiram's Fusion Flare."
The purpose was to show off all the new mons and give a new feeling rather than seeing the same goddamn Zubats and Geodudes. Although this game went quite the opposite, having a Regional Dex consisting off 300. (The largest if I'm correct)
If I had to guess it's probably comparing their power, maybe? Or just saying how these are the Kyurem's own moves, like how the other two had the fusion moves.
I know what the reason was; the problem is a lot of those new mons were complete garbage.
A mixture of generations like Platinum is perfect.
Holy Wow!! They're really sequels, man I'm so pumped for these :D
Loads of information, on that Bulbapedia translation sight it says the Professor is studying the "Latent Pokemon Abilities". I wanna believe that means In-Game DW abilities, specifically the Gen 5 ones! And new gym leaders!
So I don't wanna go crazy but one set of rumors is pretty close. It said it was 2 years after BW and that the Unova pokemon was bigger. Said there'd be new gym leaders etc. It also said there'd be new pokemon.... Now I'm never one to believe rumors but otherwise the guy got pretty lucky with the rest of his "rumors"
So excited!!

I just don't like using sources I can't trust! Serebii never lists his sources and relies on shoddy translations so I'd rather wait for a site like Bulbanews.
In any case, as Synre pointed out, this could be very interesting:
Edit: Damn you Joeyboy. Well I got it in the OP before that post so there!
Yes, and I'm really excited for this game. Although Plat's extension mainly included side evolutions to Sinnoh mons (read: Gardevoir, Jolteon, etc.) at least Unova will likely bring more random, unrelated stuff to the table like Absol, Houndoom, Altaria, etc—what Plat brought over.
/me hoping for Tropius to show up in the Regional Dex.
Edit: New PCs feel like they were ripped from a Shounen manga.
Bulbapedia said:
Wait dude what
Wait, Bulbpedia is saying there will be 300 additional pokemon added to the 156 Unova pokemon, so a pokedex of 456? Holy shi-
It's probably a mistranslation or miswording on their part.
And a complete re-numbering at that, judging by Psyduck & Riolu's placements
Or Bulbz is right and everyone else is wrong? I seriously don't think it's 456 though, since that's sort of an overload.
Well, this made me feel all better about this game.
No real similarities to B/W, old Pokémon from the start, new Gym Leaders (who look really cool btw), and new towns. Just awesome. I'm glad that it's a direct sequel and not like Emerald and Platinum. Though I loved those games, it was getting old.
I'm glad I pre-ordered this, and june is almost here.

I'm feeling that the missing 20 points off Kyurem's BST is going to end up on the appropriate offense for Black and White Kyurem. For the past few gens they've been giving title legends a base 150 stat. Also, Freeze Shock and Ice Burn are physical and special attacks respectively so it'll make sense if the formes also have a higher Atk or SpA.
Anyway, the games are just about what I thought they'd be: true sequels.
It's good that people will stop saying they'll be like two Greys.

Well, that settles it. Time to import (and seriously consider repairing my DS Lite...)!
