As expected, Nintendo of America has announced that Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 will be released this Fall. So if you’re keeping track at home, that means Japan will get the pair of DS games this June, followed by a European/North American release a few months later in the Fall.

According to Nintendo, “more game details will be announced throughout the year,” so I think this is the last we’ll be hearing about Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 for a while.

One day after announcing that Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 will be available this June for Japanese audiences, Nintendo has revealed it’ll be released this Fall in Europe. That means only three to six months will pass between the Japanese and western releases of the DS game, a new record for a Pokemon title.

I’m sure Nintendo will announce a similar American release window for Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 later today.

I guess Nintendo finally ran out of colors as they announced the development of Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 today. The monochromatic sequels will be available for the DS in Japan in June.

Black 2/White 2 will be the first direct sequels in Pokemon’s fifteen history. Usually, Nintendo follows up the previous year’s pair of Pokemon games with a third title as a companion game (Red/Blue and Yellow, Gold/Silver and Crystal, Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald, etc.).

A North American release wasn’t announced, but this is Pokemon, of course there’ll be one. Typically, the American release lags six to eight months behind the Japanese one. So Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 should cross the Pacific in early 2013.
