You know what's so ironic about this? As JAD posted this in chat and asked me to move it, Back in Black was playing in iTunes.

The logos look kinda sleek. I like it. Hopefully Black and White will insinuate really cool looking mascots.

You know what this means, guys?

The third version will be Pokemon Gray. lol

Sweet!

The names are boring. I'm just glad it isn't Pokemon Turquoise and Coal. I want to make fake games named that!

I hope maybe that they make it a little more 3D, If you know what I mean. Maybe have every Pokemon have a model for battle, and a sprite for other things. Ya know, push the DS to the limit!

...And the racial conflict begins.

DAMN IT!!! When it comes to Pokemon I'm ALWAYS LATE!!!

One of my predictions for possible 5th-gen names was Yin/Yang, so Black/White comes pretty close to that.

For a 3rd following game, Chrome would totally be a cool choice for a name.

Now we're back to simply naming after colors. White counts as a color, right? Reading Lite's post makes me want some kind of Thumbs Up system for posts and stuff. Like Youtube.

Although the names are a bit simple, the logos look really amazing.
Also, I don't think the games will cause racial controversies, since I'm 100% sure nothing offensive is intended. I think they chose those specific names just to make the games sound more classic.

Anyways, I'm very optimistic about the 5th generation games till now, and I can't wait until more information is revealed about them. I hope they turn out to be even better than Pokémon HG/SS.

Figures they're called black and white. All I can think of is the original red and blue games.

Seems like Nintendo is high off nostalgia right now and wants everything to feel like "way back then." Fortunately, they're good at this and no one can put them down for it very easily.

Oh well. I figured they'd finally reveal a "light" Pokemon type to counter "dark" (theory still, but pretty obvious), but two games with these titles must either mean "black" is for a featured dark Pokemon and "white" is for a featured light Pokemon or something entirely different.

I know I could quite honestly be wrong, but doesn't it seem obvious? I mean, what else can you derive from a title like this? Realistically?

I invite anyone to debate me on this.

Talk about boring names...

The names are normal, but hopefully, the games won't. I think that the mascots of these two games are two different colored legendary Pokemon following the title of the respective game.

I seriously thought this was some kind of joke, until I saw on Serebii. This is..........I don't know how to respond to this.

Let's just hope they're not IN black and white.

I MUST IMPORT THESE!!!!! WAHAHAHAHA!!!

Pokemon Black and White? lol they ran out of Gem names..
Anyway, looks interesting.
New Region? New Pokemon?
Nice, i hope we can travel to hoenn too for the lulz.

Alright. Sooner or later I'm going to mail Nintendo saying:
"Stop with the color names. We need more gems. Like Garnet and Jade. You have Red, Blue, Green, Yello, FireRed, LeafGreen, Gold, Silver, HeartGold, and SoulSilver. Seriously, stop with the color names. Make something else up with like..............I don't know! Just figure something else out other than gems and colors!"
I bet the Black(RACIST) mascot is going to be like some type of mashed up remake of the Giratina sprite. And White(RACIST) is going to be a mashed up version of Celebi or something like that. Maybe even mashed-up Mew. XD
Oh well. These logos look pretty sweet. Atleast be as good as the originals. Don't create a whole new Pokedex. Don't make up 150 new Pokemon. Keep some oldies in there too!
Well, my thoughts of this game are hopefully good.

Simple yet effective names. However, I'm guessing the names are going to be changed when coming overseas to something like Light and Dark, but who knows. Looking forward to seeing more!

I don't mind the names much. All I care about is that these games are decent enough for me to put hours of gameplay into them.

I'm genuinely excited. <3

So, Black and White are the upcoming main sereis pokémon games! Which one are you getting? Personally, I'd wait until the mascots were revealed.

At first I was like fgsfds, but I quite like the names now actually.

I'll pick whichever one has the cooler legendary.

I agree with Cat. It is just like in Diamond & Pearl. There, I loved Dialga, until it grew to become now my favorite Pokemon. Now, I think I will be waiting to see the mascots. However, current;y, I am 70% with Pokemon Black, as the color black is my favorite color.

:79: <---Me

Holy crap this is awesome! I actually like the names because of how simplistic they are, I'm kind of glad that they didn't choose to give the games names based on gems. I'm probably going to buy White version (I really hope that "racist" jokes don't explode all over the internet.), but I might buy Black if the exclusives really draw me in. and now we wait, for more information to be revealed...

I really hope the version mascots are revealed on Pokémon Sunday, and then I;d see which one is cooler. What I also hope is that the mascot of White version is a light type and Light could be a new type introduced in these games, and the mascot of black would be a dark type. I also want the idea of having pokémon following you reintroduced in these games. I'm getting both games, but if I would have to pick between one of them it'd be the game with the mascot I like best. Also, I think you should be able to catch both mascots in one game, just like in HG/SS you were able to get both in either game no matter which one it was. Since the 3DS won't be out for a while, my guess is the third game will be on the 3DS and the first two will be on the DS and DSi. I just hope TPC puts LOADS of effort into these games

I like these names, it's sort of like going back to the beginning when they just had R/B/Y/G.

They preempted themselves? I'm surprised they didn't milk the Pokémon Sunday reveal for as much as possible.

Hmmmm, perhaps when they translate it, the games will be Ebony and Ivory. I really like those names!

Oh wow the names are so orignal. I can't wait!

Careful Yoshi, mixing "Oreo" with brand names can be hazardous...



Oreo Barbie.

0_o Orea Barbie is weird. I can see where your going, AlakazamMaster.
I will moist likely not but I'll proably import one of these games and then i'll get the other one in english or maybe both in english but the one I like better in JPN.

I going to get the "Black Version"

I bet the Japanese names are Black and White and stupid Americans will ruin the awesomeness with "Light and Dark" or "Bright and Eerie". Translators can ruin alot of games. And it is quite strange that some people find these games racially offending.

I hope they create a Light type :3
To balance out dark~ I always thought they had dark.. so why not light? ;3 ;P

I don't think they'll make a new type, but you never know.

No new types they've never found anything wrong with them for 10 years they shouldn't change now.

The type changes in Gen II were more or less necessary, though, because the entire balance was broken. It's not broken now, so there honestly is no need to change it unless the developers just feel the need to have more types. However, there are so many type combinations that haven't been utilized yet under the current system that I see no need for a new type just yet. And if there is one, I sure hope it's something more original than "light." :/

I found something with the Pokemon. I bet it doesn't matter but it's worth posting.
Like HeartGold and SoulSilver, you can only get certain Pokemon in certain games.
So in Black and White, it's going to be Mr. Mime for White, Jynx for Black. Jynx made Black pop out for me.

Here are the possible starter silouets.

I don't think it's real.

that would be cool if they were real...It's a DOLPHIN!
who wouldn't want a dolphin?!?

Not digging the visuals of this game right now from what I've seen. Shame too. They could have been more creative or really pushed the system, but it looks too similar to our current game engines besides a slight camera change.

That is kind of pushing, either you;ve been playing to many PSP games or you havn't noticed that it is unless you espect like what they had in Super Mario 64 DS which I think looked pretty bad.
