The two shades of Kyurem as they appear in Pokemon Black and White 2's art.
This makes the localization for the sure-to-be-hefty RPGs the shortest translation process (localizing the games from Japanese to English) in Pokemon history… since Pokemon games contain so much text, there is usually a wide gap between the Western and Eastern releases… looks like Nintendo and Game Freak are getting ever more efficient at translating them.
Although the games are technically for the regular DS, they can still be played on a 3DS (like with all DS games, as the 3DS is backwards compatible ensuring older DS games work on it) although they will remain in 2D. However Nintendo has promised that the games will have some kind of 3DS and DSi capability….
Here is the newest gameplay trailer from Nintendo Direct for Pokemon White and Black 2!
New forms of the Pokemon Kyurem will be the main Legendary Pokemon and mascots of Pokemon White 2 and Pokemon Black 2, and will be sported on the game’s cover. They are called “Black Kyurem” and “White Kyurem.” A sort of combination of Kyurem and Reshiram (Ice and Fire type?) and Kyurem and Zekrom (Ice and Electric type?) seems to be suggested… although it turns out that both of them will keep regular Kyurem’s Dragon/Ice typing… Bummer.
Both of the characters will tie into the upcoming Pokemon anime movie (called “Pokemon: Kyurem VS The Sacred Swordsman: Keldeo” in Japan) as you can see in this trailer for the film.
