The third AND FOURTH 5th generation games have been announced
Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2
Which means that they are selling what is essentially the same game FOUR TIMES >.<

"...*Sighs* Guess I'll have to start saving my money..."
You know what they say. "They are using me, and I am the fool."
Odd that they are for the DS. They are using Nintendo too.
Why do people buy both versions when they could just get the extra Pokes from GTS?
>now
...I guess in the DLC age, people are used to it.
^^^ Touche
And I can't not see the mental image of that red eye shaking its head if it could.
Heh. Robots can shake heads in 360 degrees.
I'm pretty sure Black 2/White 2 would be more sequels than the same game...
As a matter of fact, even the article agrees.
^ Ah, ok, that's more fair then
Wait, so this is Generation 6?
Well, damn.
No, it's still Generation 5, just with different games.
I think they finally understood that throwing more pokemons at people is not creative game design.
And considering that they actually took new directions with the plot in Pokemon Black and White...
This could be a wonderful new beginning
Which, indeed, was the point.
Now I'm excited
How will they pull it off though? Do they have it right after you've dealt with Team Plasma, then things shift? Or what?
Well, I imagine there's some focus on N.
If they're proper sequels this might be a good thing. I think I'd like more emphasis on new mechanics and game evolution than more critters.
They won't introduce new mechanics, as it's not a new generation.
There could be an emphasis on triple battles and the like, though.
Oh. (sigh)
However, I doubt there will be a significant number of new Pokemon either.
But there are lots of cool Pokemon in the new generation! There's a whip-fighting ermine, and a cotton ball sheep, and a construction worker ogre, and a dragon with an axe for a head, and a hydra WoMD, and a--I'll quit fanboying now.
and an ice-cream! What's not to love about that?
And a trash monster! And a water ghost with a mustache! And the Three Musketeers as legendary quadrupeds! And some sort of psychic fetus thing!
I probably sound like a parody at this point.
Which is nice and all. So they should further the gameplay around those rather than just ditch them and create new ones.
Why couldn't they?
Wow I was ninja'd
That's not how they work. They introduce new mechanics every generation, but every game within the generation has the same mechanics.
None of them are ditched; it's just tougher to catch certain pokemon in certain generations. The additions keep things fresh, but it's always possible to play with the old ones. And the gameplay is already pretty solid, so there's no real need to revamp, especially as there are new moves to mix things up, as well.
