Talk:Pokémon Black and White

Pokémon Black and White 2
So much for a new title, the latest episode of Pokémon Smash revealed that we will get a Remake of Pokémon Black and White for the 3DS. But I need some further confirmation on this one other than the official episode itself. As in a Magazine scan or something related?--Blackgaia02 (Talk if you&#39;re Worthy) (talk) 23:31, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Edit: Officially Confirmed by Nintendo now: http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/b2w2/ I can put this to rest.--Blackgaia02 (Talk if you&#39;re Worthy) (talk) 23:37, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually for the DS per sources. Nevertheless, we can add it. Quite exciting considering all these spin-off game announcements lately. — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  23:41, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, this is completely unexpected news. This is sure to be a mess. Blake (Talk·Edits) 00:02, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * An official English-language announcement has been posted at Pokemon.com (details). The English-language titles have been confirmed to be Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2. -- SoCalSuperEagle ( talk ) 00:40, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The official English titles of "Black" and "White" are "Black Version" and "White Version", but it's not going to become the common name.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 03:26, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Just want to correct you, it's a sequel, not a remake. Hence the "2" at the end. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.7.30.217 (talk) 00:31, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Release date in Japan is June 23, 2012, as per http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/b2w2/. Someone should edit this into the main article to provide more information than the vague "in June 2012". 210.86.1.151 (talk) 05:58, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

So could someone please enlighten me why these games don't have their own article yet? They're their own entities and deserve their own article. 132.170.38.189 (talk) 05:01, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Because articles shouldn't be made loosely about everything(like all the ~5 sentence E3-announced articles). When there is enough information to fill a reasonably sized article, it can be put out. Right now, it is of a decent size, but still could use a little more before that happens. What we have now is a paragraph or two of Plot and Gameplay, but no Development. If we had development information, it might would be substantial enough to be split. Blake (Talk·Edits) 14:51, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I think part of the reason is because it doesn't have its own page. People are afraid to cram all of this info into B/W2 on a page that doesn't belong to the game. If it were to get its own page, then people would probably be more willing to put in more information. And it's not like this is just an expansion pack or something; these are brand new games. The fact that they don't have their own pages yet is just nonsense. 132.170.33.128 (talk) 21:45, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * There just isn't enough content to put in there. Once the game is released in Japan soon, there will be more content of all types to add. Until then, just wait. Blake (Talk·Edits) 00:49, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * a) There's tons of content, just go lurk on Bulbapedia to see for yourself. b) So what, the day it comes out, we'll suddenly make a new page for it? 132.170.33.62 (talk) 18:15, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Bulbapedia is not a reliable source. They have no level of editorial control or preference. The game is coming out in one week, so we'll cover more about it then.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 20:33, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Even Bulbapedia has very little information about it. Most of it, we already have mentioned here. Waiting a week or so for actual content won't hurt. Blake (Talk·Edits) 23:33, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The current content of that entire section should, surely by now warrant its own article, instead of needlessly making this one longer? ggctuk (2005) (talk) 16:24, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * There is still the separate notability issue.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 20:37, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Okay, this has been out for weeks. Why doesn't this have its own page it? 76.108.249.169 (talk) 04:33, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Because it has been out for weeks in Japan. That means, English news sources have yet to report on it, and we still know nothing more then we did before. The subject needs some development and reception information before being split. Blake (Talk·Edits) 04:40, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

図鑑
It's Zukan, not Sukan. It's not a case of dakuten. It's always spelt like that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.28.147.193 (talk) 20:47, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

"Tell her father to give up looking for her father?"
This line makes no sense. Check the Black and White 2 section. Somebody fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.227.159.150 (talk) 00:42, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

New article for Black 2 and White 2
As title suggests.

Black and White 2 are a completely new game, should related information not be on a separate article of their own? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mootootoo (talk • contribs) 09:01, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * There are not enough reliable sources to warrant a separate article, yet.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 09:31, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Absolutely not. It's a cheap rehash that shares the same 649-Pokemon roster and 90% of the same overworld. Don't need a new article every time Game Freak craps out a remake/director's cut. 10:27, 29 September 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.210.60.236 (talk)
 * It's a sequel. The amount of Pokemon and the locations are not what separates sequels from the originals. Otherwise, Colosseum and XD should not have separate pages. The game has a large amount of new areas and an entirely new plot. It most definitely deserves a page more than Platinum does. 68.9.233.144 (talk) 03:14, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * New article please :) We don't need arrogance like that first guy had, research it first buddy it is new and improved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.45.45.98 (talk) 21:39, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

It needs a new article. It is out and has been for a few days now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.26.2.60 (talk) 00:32, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It's actuallyb een out for several months now, but there have not been any reliable sources to justify creating a separate article yet.— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 05:39, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * There really are, they simply are not in the article. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 20:47, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree. Most everywhere should have reviews by this point, and there is an Iwata Asks for Development. Blake (Talk·Edits) 13:54, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

It seriously needs a new article. Cross Pollination (talk) 19:56, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not just a Director's Cut, but a sequel. It's irrelevant if it is very simmilar to its predecessor, therefore it needs its own article.--201.141.25.67 (talk) 21:21, 24 October 2012 (UTC)(Sorry, I forgot to login) --Darkeagle7x (talk) 21:25, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Agreed! There seems to be enough material in this article now to justify having a separate one for the sequels. Yellow1996 (talk) 21:05, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

News flash
Heads up. A new article was copy-and-pasted from this one today, New Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. I can't say I'm a fan of the title. I tried to move it to Pokemon Black 2 and White 2, but that page is a redirect to this one, so we'll need an admin to delete the redirect before the move can be performed. This isn't my area of expertise; I haven't played Pokemon since Yellow. But if it meets WP:GNG then I think it can get its own article. Anyway, I thought I'd bring it up here because work will need to be done on this page if you end up forking content to a new article. Cheers. Braincricket (talk) 14:05, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Btw, discussion here. Braincricket (talk) 14:18, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I've redirected the page to here. It should not have been made at that particular title and in fact the author Alzeller1 broke several rules in its creation (it copied content from this page without attributing it as coming from this page). "New Pokemon Black 2 and White 2" is also the entirely wrong title, as well. It's just "Pokémon Black 2 and White 2", but new editors don't know that redirects can be edited over.— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 17:07, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Fair enough with the redirect. But just for the record, it was attributed – I included a template on the talk page of the new article. Braincricket (talk) 17:42, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It was still just a copy-paste of the content here which is formatted in a way that is not good for a standalone article. Once we gather some good reliable souces, we can take the redirect at to make a standalone page.— Ryulong  ( 琉竜 ) 17:44, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright. In the mean time, I'll see if I can find some new sources we can use to establish notability. Braincricket (talk) 17:47, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Why shouldn't there be a page for 2?
Don't get me wrong, this page has great detail in information about both games, but how come the sequel has to share the page of its predecessor? --Matt723star (talk) 16:58, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Because there's not enough to satisfy having a separate article when it's simply an expansion of the originals.— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 17:03, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Then why have own articles for Pokémon Yellow, Crystal, Emerald and Platinum versions? After all, they differ from the initial versions even less than Black 2 and White 2 do from Black and White. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.149.216.106 (talk) 18:20, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I concur. It should be treated exactly the same as the other third versions (or in Yellow's case, fourth version). ggctuk (2005) (talk) 20:14, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Guys. No joke here. When you make the reception section have like 10 reviews, and 2 paragraphs of content, I assure you, it will be worthy to be split. Right now it has 2 reviews and a sales figure. Get working on it, and stop complaining. Blake (Talk·Edits) 03:08, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Pokemon White box art and Pokemon Black 2 box art?
Would it be appropriate to add these box arts? I feel like it might make the article more complete. Firework917 (talk) 22:21, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

The Basis
The game had a lot of potential and has evidently been the last 2d pokemon game since 2012 of the release of the remakes black 2 and white 2 which boosted the fan base by an amazing amount 200,000 to be averaged — Preceding unsigned comment added by Odd eyes unicorn (talk • contribs) 15:53, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
