Nintendo has confirmed that Pokemon Black and Pokemon White for Nintendo DS will ship in spring 2011. It also confirmed the Western names for the new legendary Pokemon. Gracing the cover of Black will be Reshiram, while Zekrom will be on the cover of White. Here’s a snippet from the press release:
The launch of Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version follows the incredible consumer response to Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version, which have sold more than 8.4 million units combined worldwide to date. The Pokémon video game series has sold more than 200 million units worldwide since it was first introduced 14 years ago.
I’m always down for more Pokemon RPGs. I’ll just have to sing a few lines from the cartoon: “Pokemon! It’s you and me. I know it’s my destiny!”
Have they announced their types yet?
"I wanna be the very best. Like noone ever was!"
@Sandrock323 The speculation is that Zekrom is dark and Reshiram is the new light type.
@Ray
*drools* I haven't heard anything about a light type. Secondary type guesses? (Please say DRG)
I am very excited about this. I am gonna have to really study a lot about the pokemon types to get ready for this game. That and get a DS, or whatever system this will debut on (I'm still thinking the 3DS could be a possibility).
Dibs on the Light pokemon. Especially since my husband thinks he already owns black. Big meanie *sigh*
