You know when they announced it and they said "They'll be 3DS exclusive content"? Does this refer to the AR game thing? If so I'd be disappointed, I was really hoping for widescreen support for the 3DS!
Official Pokemon Black 2/White 2 Discussion and Info Thread
This topic is locked from further discussion.
World Tournament has to use the original battle music (redone or otherwise) or else I'll be a little disappointed.Features PokeWood, a friend battle, Black Kyurem and White Kyurem using their signature moves, and Misty in World Tournament.
I'm excited for World Tournament. :D

And after watching the video, it does. My heart... it cries tears of joy.
Pokemon Global Link is live again! I love the new look. :)
and the Japanese magazine, Dengeki, revealed some new info and early game spoilers. The info may be iffy; different translations and stuff...
First the info:
- Apparently the first pokemon you encounter could be a shiny Patrat.
- The following pokemon can be caught very early in the game: Patrat, Purrloin, Sewaddle, Pidove, Dunsparce, Audino, Venipede, Sunkern, Lillipup, Riolu, Azurilll, Mareep, Psyduck, Magby/Elekid, Growlithe, Magnemite, and Koffing.
- The map will now list all the pokemon available in a specific area.
Spoilers and the in-game Unova map:
[spoiler]
- Cheren's team as being Patrat (Lv. 11) & Lillipup (Lv. 13), giving you Work Up and Homika's team as being Koffing (Lv. 16) and Whirlipede (Lv. 18) and gives Venoshock.
- The area you change form with Keldeo in is called "Oath Woods"
- Your mother & your Rival's younger sister will give you the Running Shoes and Town Map.
- You meet Alder in Route 19
- Rival battle in Sangi Ranch.
- You need to work with your rival to find a Herdier. If you succeed, you will receive TM21. You get the medal box in Sangi Town and six hints for medals.
- You also have two battles in Alder's house
- Bianca gives you the C-Gear after you beat Cheren. This unlocks the ability to trade. You will also receive a Pokédex upgrade within Route 20.
- You get to view Homika's father's movies when you reach Pokéwood.
- Team Plasma are first fought in Tachiwaki and then Route 20. Access to Castelia City is via boat.
- Team Plasma is separated into two factions now - "Team Plasma" and "Former Team Plasma." The original one sides with N while the new one wants your typical evil plans of conquering the world: "We'll liberate Pokemon and conquer the world!"
- Akuroma has some connection to Team Plasma, though it doesn't say what (like that wasn't obvious).
- Your rival and Team Plasma are related in some way. He is also mad at Team Plasma because they stole a Purrloin that was intended as a present.

Major improvement
Some Japanese players have gotten the game early and we finally have our first review!
Famitsu gave B2W2 a 36/40, praising the after-story gameplay, Pokewood, the Fes Missions, and the Pokedex's ability to see which Pokemon are available in each area. The original Black and White scored a perfect 40/40.
After-story gamplay details in spoiler tag below.
Some interesting info about the games:
- The HP/EXP meters have black backgrounds in Black 2 and white in White 2.
- You can drag and select multiple Pokemon at a time in the PC box and move them.
- You can trade Pokemon immediately after you get your C-Gear. Even a Level 100 Mewtwo.
- The World Tournament is based in Driftveil City where the Cold Storage used to be.
- Iris is not a Gym Leader in Black 2 or White 2. :(
- The move tutor is in Driftveil City. He can teach Covet and Bug Bite, which cost 2 Red Shards; Drill Run, Bounce, Signal Beam, and Iron Head for 4; Super Fang and Uproar for 6; and Seed Bomb, Dual Chop, Low Kick, Thunderpunch, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, and Gunk Shot for an unknown amount.
- More Move Tutors(YAY!): Last Resort, Iron defense, Magnet Rise, Magic Coat, Block, Hyper Voice, Electroweb, Icy Wind, Iron Tail, Aqua Tail, Earth Power, Zen Headbutt, Foul Play, Superpower, Gravity, Dragon Pulse and Dark Pulse. Cost Blue Shards.
- Using a new feature called "Unova Link," you can connect to the opposite version of your game and get Black City or White Forest depending on which one you don't have by default.
- Repel can now be used again without going into the menu. After one runs out, it asks you "Repel's effect ran out. Use another one? Y/N?"
- The Move Deleter and Move Relearner are now located inside the World Tournament building. The guy who tells you your Pokemon's Hidden Power is also there.
- You have to play in the World Tournament as part of the story.
- The World Tournament has different battle theme music for the finals.
- Some old Pokemon that can be found include Budew, Roselia, Baltoy, Nosepass, Cleffa, Combee, Castform, Ratatta, Grimer, and... Zubat.
ZUBATS ARE BACK
-Evolutionary Stones, Macho Brace and some Lenses (Scope and Wide) can be purchased with BP.
- Apparently, if you turn off your DS/disconnect during a Wi-Fi match, the game will not let you Wi-Fi battle for a while. Your public rating will also go down.
[spoiler]
- After clearing the game, you will be given a Key - this key allows for changing the game's mode, from Normal Mode (standard levels) to Assist Mode (trainers' level will go down) and Challenge Mode (levels will go up). The Key also unlocks Unova Link.
[/spoiler]
So many improvements... :shock:
Unconfirmed news:
- Hoenn trainer battle music was found in the game. You can listen to it here.
Even though there's a chance of this being fake, it's still an awesome remix. :P
Footage of Homika performing with her band in the second gym...
DOGARS! (Koffing's Japanese name)
Nintendo Direct just revealed Homika's English name.
Poison-type Gym Leader Roxie
Basically the only thing they've shown that got me excited. Everything else was really underwhelming, but I guess it's my fault for knowing too much about the games. :P
Oh, and Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus' Sacred Beast formes will now be called theirTherian Formes.
[spoiler]
The eighth gym leader became the champion... That's already happend once.
Of course Iris is an improvement over Adeku, but from your reactions I thought Cynthia was the champion or something. That would have been awesome. :P [/spoiler]
Pixel-Perfect
[spoiler]
Yeah, it would have been awesome having my favorite champion become the champion for 2 regions, but it would have been more predictable than Iris becoming the champion. Iris was training to be a gym leader 2 years ago, now she's the youngest Pokemon League Champion known to Pokeman. Drayden would have been a more obvious candidate since he was the one training her to be the future Opelucid Gym Leader. I guess the apprentice surpassed her master.
I wonder how this affects the anime...
[/spoiler]
More World Tournament details:
- The World Tournament has different tournament modes. The "Unova Leaders" mode allows you to battle Unova Gym Leaders with Level 50 Pokemon. The "Driftveil Tournament" mode only allows Pokemon at Level 25. "Rental Tournament" randomly selected Pokemon for you to use. "Mix Tournament" allows Level 50 Pokemon and you can switch your own Pokemon with your opponent's before each battle. "Rental Master" allows for higher-leveled Pokemon. "Type Master" seems to imply the use of specific types.
- You earn 1BP for defeating Unova's Gym Leaders and 2BP for defeating Kanto's.
[spoiler]
- Roxanne, the Rock-type Gym Leader from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, is one of the many participants.
