I think the best example of this is Ash, from the anime. he's been there since the beginning, but he's went on several new adventures. This leads me to ask... could we theoretically be going to a different, past region in this game? Probably not, but... Hoenn? Bah, probably not gonna happen.

No problem. I'll probably pop up again if there's any more tweets/information, etc.

New tweet. ""Black Kyurem" and "White Kyurem" are the names of new legendary Poke'mon!!" ...Wow. Did different formes ever have their own differentiation as legendary?

Except a shiny charmander is still inherently a charmander.

Oh, he just tweeted in english. "Long-awaited new series are called "Poke'mon Black Version 2" and "Poke'mon White Version 2"!!!!" ...no need for me to translate, heh

Adding on to that, it seems like these new pokemon are actually POKEMON, not just formes. Though, this depends on if you restrict 新ポケモン to mean explicitly "pokemon" or include "pokemon formes".

New Tweet. "フォロワーのみなさんだけに、先ほど世界初の情報公開のOKが出たので、発表します！！！この情報はみなさんだけしか知らないので、RTやブログで広めてください！！！お願い！" trans: I just got the OK to release some never-before-heard information, followers, so I'll say it now. This is information distributed to you guys only, so please spread the word! New tweet...

Twitter handle is @Junichi_Masuda

New tweet. "フォロワーのみなさんが一万人突破したとき、みんなに恩返ししたい！と言ってたでしょ？これが、恩返しになるかどうかわからないけど、、" trans: I told my followers that, once I reached 10,000 followers, I'd find some way to thank you all. I dunno if this will be my way of thanking back, but... EDIT: he currently has around 15k followers.

A better translation for ニンテンドー３DSでも遊べるよ！ would be Playable on 3DS!, but you get the general idea.

Trans: I feel like I might give away another secret to my followers! Wait a bit!

ニンテンドー３DSでも遊べるよ！ trans: You can play on the nintendo 3DS!

2本同時発売 is pretty obviously referring to the games, not international releases of the games.

To clean up the google translation: It's official! RT @ Pokemon_cojp: [Game] 「Pokemon Black 2 • White 2」Released simultaneously on June 2nd, 2012!

From the website: "Keep checking Pokemon.com for details, including news, images, and videos, which will be revealed throughout the year." Pokemon.com doesn't generally give details about games after their release, so I'm willing to bet it won't be released in the US until late 2012 or early...

THIS.

Did Masuda/Pokemon ever explicitly state that they were sequels? To my knowledge, we immediately dubbed them as sequels because that's what first came to mind. Mmm, but then the "2" comes into question.

Guys. This just came to mind. What if this game wasn't a direct sequel... But a direct prequel?

Wonderful. Apparently Crunchyroll claims that it _is_ a direct sequel, but I don't trust their interpretations.

Just goes to show how much more aware NoA is becoming of its consumers.
