  • Kyurem is the legendary mascot for Black 2 and White 2 with two different forms, Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. Black Kyurem looks like a Kyurem + Zekrom fusion and will be on the cover of Black 2. White Kyurem looks like a Kyurem + Reshiram fusion and will be on the cover of White 2.
    Black Kyurem has the Teravolt ability and its signature move is Freezeshock. White Kyurem has the Turboblaze ability and its signature move is Ice Burn. Kyurem keeps its Ice/Dragon typing.

bkyurem.pngwkyurem.png

    Thundurus' Therian Forme focuses on Special Attack and will have the Volt Absorb ability.
    Landorus' Therian Forme focuses on Attack and will have the Intimidate ability.
  • A new item, Reflecting Mirror, can change Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus into their Therian Forme and vice versa.

  • Keldeo, the Water/Fighting Event pokémon, has a new forme as well. It will be called the Resolute Forme. It changes its appearance in a forest near the second town.

  • A new facility called Pokéstar Studios. You pick one of many scenarios, battle behind a green screen (you can use your own pokémon or rented pokémon), and then watch your final product. Brycen, the Ice-type Gym Leader, has starred in Pokéstar Studios.
    Pokéstar Studios does not replace the Musical. Both facilities are in the game.

  • A new facility called World Tournament where you can participate in an eight person single-elimination tournament with gym leaders and champions! World Tournament supports single, double, triple, and rotation battles. You can also download Special Trainers via Wi-Fi.

New & Returning Features


  • Funfest Missions: You partake in missions with friends, similar to Entralink Missions in Black and White, and get prizes depending on your score.

  • Medals: You unlock medals by accomplishing certain tasks, such as catching pokémon, having a certain amount of battles, etc. You will be given a rank depending on the amount of medals you have collected. You can also display one of your medals on your Trainer Card for others to see. It will show how and when you achieved it.
    There are over 200 medals within 5 different categories. Collect 'Em All!

1024.jpg?md=1339748202000

_______________________________________________________________

220px-Pok%C3%A9mon_Global_Link_logo.png

Global Link will be new and improved for the release of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.
It will be compatible with Black/White and Black 2/White 2, but some features will be exclusive to Black 2 and White 2.

PokemonGLScreen.jpg

The Dream World makes a return as well as a rebrand of the Battle Union. The Dream World will feature more pokémon and new areas, with a reduction of the time cut-off from 24 hours to 20 hours.
The new Global Link will showcase a special promotion for those who registers Black or White and Black 2 or White 2 to their account. This promotion is currently unknown. You will be able to view your Global Trade Station history and stats online. A Report feature will be added for the GTS and GBU records.

If a player does not log into Dream World for 100 days, the player's berries will begin to be absorbed by the Tree of Dreams and converted into Dream Points. One of each kind of berry you own will remain in your treasure chest, however.

_______________________________________________________________

3DS EXCLUSIVES

Pokémon Dream Radar:

A new Augmented Reality game where you search around for various pokémon using the 3DS's camera. Pokémon and items you obtain in the app can be sent to your copy of Black 2 or White 2.

Pokémon AR Searcher

It will be released on the same day Black 2 and White 2 are released for $2.99.

Video

Pokédex 3D Pro:

An update to the current Pokédex 3D app. It features 3D models of the first 647 pokémon, the moves they learn, their stats, their type weaknesses, egg groups, evolution, height & weight, cries, AR viewer, and a challenge mode that quizzes your Pokémon knowledge. Unlike the previous app, all pokemon will be available as soon as you use it.

deoxysfight.jpg534480_332106066875687_1327823283_n.jpg

It's due for release on November 8th with the original Pokédex 3D leaving the eShop on October 1st (NA) and October 11th (EU). It'll cost $14.99.

Sure I do, but the geniuses at Nintendo decided to region lock the DSi enhanced games so the lite is the only one I have to run it. I have an XL and a 3DS just waiting to be used, but nope. :cry:

I was just thinking...

It's a good thing I didn't do something silly like wait for Grey version and skip out on Black/White. There's still no way i'd be able to wait that long anyway but I remember some people saying that they would wait for the 3rd version. :P

Nah I disagree,not saying you can't have your opinion but the majority of people I saw for the day who talked about this say they prefer the previous protagonist design than this one and I personally don't care for it either myself

the problem i had with the old one is that they said that the MC's in the game were more in late teens but yet it looked like the male one still wanted to dress like a 11 yr and i felt that he was such a tool wanting to be younger then he was.

Are we sure that those are new protaganists? They look pretty much exactly like the protaganists from Black and White, just with different clothes and hairstyles. My guess is that they are the same characters, just two years later

I love the new girl's design, but other than that I find this all pretty underwhelming.

The new guy looks ridiculous. :|

elbert_b_23

true but at least he looks better then the guy from black/white did

Totally disagree. The male trainer in black has a real classic appeal to him, while the new one needs a haircut. :P

Male protag looks horrible, but the other characters are alright. I just hope the gym leaders and elite 4 members from the last game return :(

Nah I disagree,not saying you can't have your opinion but the majority of people I saw for the day who talked about this say they prefer the previous protagonist design than this one and I personally don't care for it either myself

the problem i had with the old one is that they said that the MC's in the game were more in late teens but yet it looked like the male one still wanted to dress like a 11 yr and i felt that he was such a tool wanting to be younger then he was.

lol really?

.

I think with the whole "pants tucked in shoes" thing going on there is a style that's been trending for awhile now,you even see popular celebrities like Jay Z and Kanye West been doing this for quite awhile.I'm not so crazy about the long sleeve top that he's wearing but idk I really do like his design and probably is my fav out of all the previous designs before it.

Are we sure that those are new protaganists? They look pretty much exactly like the protaganists from Black and White, just with different clothes and hairstyles. My guess is that they are the same characters, just two years later

Yep it's been confirmed that these are the new protaganists,like them or not these are the characters we would be using throughout the game even though I don't care for the male one so much.

I don't like the new protagonist designs. Their hair and clothes makes me wonder if they looked at a mirror recently.

But the new rival looks awesome.

The original Unova characters looks so much much better in almost everyway. Both are just good looking.

To me Hilda looks "tougher" than this new female protagonist,she looks like she has a soft side just like Bianca

Ehhh... Okay, the girl looks pretty adorable, but the guy is a fashion disaster. Why wear shorts with spandex if you could wear pants, jeans, or sweats? The amount of extra work he has to do putting on those spandex irritates me. And his hair... He needs a haircut or a new hat. :|

It looks to me like they've downgraded the age of the characters back to 10. Hilbert and Hilda where in there teens, but there is no way these two are.

Overall, not too impressed, I was hoping for a new region, though I kinda expected Unova again, the only thing I'm really excited for is getting to use Pokemon from previous generations in the story for this one. Also is there anything about the Starters, I couldn't see anything but I'm hoping for either new ones or the Kanto or Hoenn starters, don't want the Unova ones again though.

lol the girl looks far more ridiculous than the guy. That map looks like a map from an old Zelda game manual.

The characters designs were the only good thing of the original B/W. Specially the female trainer and N.

I mean I'm still going to play the S*** out of this but dammit Game Freak I HATE visors.... Oh well I don't play these games for the protagonists looks anyways. :P

Edit: I was just hoping that maybe Game Freak would let us play as N, I really love his design.

North America and Europe can see a release date before the holiday season.
