Junichi Masuda, the main director of the Pokémon game series, has said that he'll be making an announcement today at 7.30am JST. (which is in like 3 and a half hours)

Two days ago, Nintendo had to contact Apple after some app developer tried to sell a fake Pokemon Yellow app for the iPhone, so I'm guessing they want to start releasing their games in the app store.

Others have said it's going to be a new 3ds game, but this seems a little over hyped. Another prediction is a new MMO series. Either way, this can only be all kinds of awesome.

EDIT: Confirmed as the upcoming release of Black & White 2 on DS

Nintendo always sues when their IP is used in fan creations. I don't see this as any indication that they'll be doing anything on iOS. Nintendo rarely does anything with 3rd-party platforms.

If Masuda is involved, it's probably Pokémon Gray, RS remakes, or something for 3DS using the Pokédex 3D graphics engine we previously concluded was more than meets the eye.

There is not going to be a Pokemon Grey.

There is, however, going to be Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2, releasing in June 2012 in Japan for the Nintendo DS. So, that'll probably be a Dec. 2012 release for us, just in time for the holidays.

Aye definitely seems to be B&W 2. Bit of a let down, don't have a DS. Might play the emulation when it gets released, but meh.

Wait, what? No, it's on the regular DS. It's just DSi-enhanced.

Also, the release date of June 2012 in Japan is amazing, because it means that we'll definitely get it in December, just in time for ridiculous Christmas sales.

EDIT: And this is definitely better than Pokemon Grey or any remakes in my eyes. It's an entirely new game!

"Both games will be released for the Nintendo DS in June 2nd, 2012 but will apparently sport additional DSi and 3DS features."

Nintendo would still have to authorise it if Pokemon was ever to go on the appstore, if that's what you're referring to.

Oh, and thanks, guys, for not being those dolts who think that Black 2 and White 2 have "2" in their titles because they're going to be mildly enhanced versions of the first games. Ow, my brain... That really makes no business sense at all because then you're just deceiving your customers and risk losing your customer base. The only time game publishers put "2" in the title is when it's a new game, and Game Freak is not going to break that trend for no real reason whatsoever.

Ah, how I love the internet...

Releasing it on the old DS when the next generation of portable gaming has already been out for literally a year? Nintendo/Gamefreak, stop being autistic.

On a less repetitive note, Y U NO Pokemon ReBurst: the game?

Because the transformations in ReBurst are creepy.

So it turns out Pokémon Black & White are not only in two versions, but also two parts? One game for the price of four now?
At least now I know why Unova was so disappointingly simplistic.

It's most likely going to be a sequel, I don't think Nintendo are dumb enough to release another 2 games that are essentially the same.

This, on the other hand, makes no sense to me either.

Looking forward to it nonetheless :)

Since pokemon black/white you only see shitty pokemon.
They need to have a brand new idea. And not the same story as normal!

Bump.

Player characters have been revealed and good god what the hell were they smoking when they designed their hair
They look like 10 again.

Half of Unova's frozen and more parts of it are revealed. Ok.

I wonder how they're going to explain the change in gym leaders from B/W.
