Pokemon Black & White Version 2 announced

Remakes and revamps are staples of cutesty collect-o-RPG series Pokémon, so it's no surprise that Nintendo has announced new versions of Pokémon Black and White are on the way. They're named simply Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2.

      For those keeping score, that's 9 mainline pokemon rpg games released on the DS. I bought Diamond when it came out but haven't really felt the hunger for pokeymans yet. Gold/Silver was close but I was able to resist the nostalgia siren's call.

      Once they revamp for 3DS though, I'm going to be all over that like Onix using Bind on a rattata.

      It's odd that they are releasing two revamped games instead of the one that they normally do.

        It's Soul Silver and Heart Gold in a much shorter time frame and less upgrades.

      Pokemon 2 Black & 2 White would be a better name.

      Seems a bit odd making another DS game this late with 3DS in need of a pokemans.

      For some reason, I think that keeping the Black and White titles active implies a little more than just a simple pokemon swap and a round of polish. Somehow it seems like it might be more of a sequel. I don't have anything to go on. It's just a feeling.

      No 3DS version? I never played a Pokemon game, but that does not mean I am oblivious to their success. It would be incredibly foolish not to make a 3DS version as well. Sure you need the DS because there is so many in homes around the world. But, the 3DS has sold extremely well. Hell, I own two of them. Bought them for my kids over Christmas. A new Pokemon game would have the 3DS flying off the shelf.

      Of course, nothing Nintendo does surprises me these days.
