Pokemon Black 2 / Pokemon White 2

Smells like Nintendo wanting to turning their 3rd edition (Yellow, Crystal etc) game for this PKMN gen into two separate versions and watch the $ flow in.

Unless this actually warrants the "2" by being an actual sequel. I believe that would require the game having an entirely new continent, or a vastly expanded or changed Unova to explore and at the very least new starters and previous gen Pokemon in the wild to open up the team possibilities for the main game beyond the strict "all new" Pokemon of B/W. Some further evolutions of B/W Pokemon would also be nice. Anything less would really just make this a scummy way to sell two separate copies of the same game again.

Still feels a bit weird to me, though. Nintendo is getting into this strange habit of tacking older names into new products as if they're afraid they need to keep very strict brand recognition. Case in point - Wii U.
