Ello again Nintendojoers! (It’s a word!) (Maybe.) It’s time for this week’s poll and since we’re still coming down from the endorphin high that accompanies any major Pokémon announcement, we thought we’d ask you all if you’re excited about the fast approaching sequels to Pokémon Black and White, Pokémon Black 2 and White 2! (We agree the titles are a work of creative genius.
Not much has been revealed about the games (although we did have a good old discussion about them last week with Mr. Pokémon, Joe Merrick of Serebii.net.) (Wasn’t Bill originally Mr. Pokémon? I’m digressing) but we do know you will take the role of a brand new Pokémon trainer from Unova, two years after the events of the first game. The first trailer (below) also reveals that in that time, massive parts of the region have been incased in ice and non-indigenous Pokémon have populated the area. Could this be the work of Team Plasma? Our money would be on yes.
So does all this info regarding the next games in the Pokémon canon get you itching to strap on your running shoes one more time and catch ’em all? Or have you been round the Pokéblock (unintentional pun) so many times that you couldn’t care less? Let us know in the comments below! (And be sure to let us know what you think about the trailer, especially if you can understand the eager Japanese chap narrating.)

I can’t wait for the new one. I have purchased every version that’s ever come out and love them all.
I’m really looking forward to these. It’s refreshing to see Game Freak trying something new with the series, and I really hope that mentality carries over into future generations.
(On a slight tangent, I got Junichi Masuda to wink at me via Twitter last night. My life is pretty much complete now.)
