AWESOME!

...They literally look the same.
Way to *EYFF* this one up, Nintendo.

These designs look really cool, if a bit busy. I wish they'd give Reshiram some kind of highlight or emphasis coloration to make it stand out more, as its pure white body makes it very hard to show any sort of gradient or shading. And is it just me, or does Zekrom look very Palkia-like?

I wonder why they're revealing it so early here now?

*Faints from epicness*

Um, why do those two Legendary Pokemon look more like something that would be in Digimon? Especially Zekrom. They are really good-looking designs nonetheless. And I disagree with them looking exactly the same.

I love these.

You gaiz are cwazy... THEY'RE SIMILAR~!!!!!! NOT THE SAME~!!!!!

It's a....It's a.... actually I don't know what this is? How does this resemble Pokemon?! Those are one the worst legendaries, scratch that, THE WORST I've ever seen. Okay, I'm sorry. DON'T FLAME ME! But, they don't look as colorful as Lugia or Ho-oh. They just look like monsters into a machine. The white is a little colorless. Even in gold Ho-oh had multiple colors. And the black looks like a machine that you would see in a M rated war game. Please don't flame me for this ,but this is my opinion and not yours.

I'm more surprised about the fact that they are telling us about something in Japan this early. It isn't even summer yet and they're already revealing the titles for the US (which, thankfully, are still Black and White).

Eh. They're all right, but I just don't find them to look THAT spectacular. I'm sure I'll get used to them soon, but as a first impression they don't really impress me.

Zekrom is badass. Epic win.

I am rather impressed myself, and for once a quick U.S. release.

Looks like we may have the boxart:

wow, PokéBeach stole it from me!

Ah! You're going to make Movie Maker belly-up for having it render five videos in one day!

Anyway, that box-art has to go in the first post.

For the sake of contrast, of course. A white legendary Pokémon on a white background wouldn't stand out much, would it?

On an interpretative note, it's possible that Reshiram's name may be referencing a race of giants in Hebrew folklore/mythology called Rephaim. This is probably unlikely, but the two names immediately struck me as something biblical or Hebrew when I saw them.

I dig these legendaries!

Well the boxart confirms Wi-Fi, no suprise there.

These are certainly interesting. I'd like to know their function and what in the world they are, though.

Wow, lovely new Pokémon! I have decided to still buy Black but I don't like its legend so far though. SO FAR, but I will.

*looks at title* Oh! Pokemon Black and White are going to be released in 2011... And the legendaries! *clicks*....*faints after too much epicness*

Also, as found on GoNintendo, these games are going to have DSi-exclusive features!

I don't know what DSi-exclusive features will be there but sure.

I want more save slots!
Yeah.They are like enhanced wi-fi or something like that.

That'd be a cool, I'd have a save file for every starter.

I doubt we will be able to trade between save files.

Sorry Jad, I didn't see the Article.
That code on the Boxart seems cool though. Good thing I have a DSi

I love these guys.<3 They look like guardian angels.:3
I have to say, bravo!

This is awesome.
Also, this is just my opinion, but Reshiram's face looks like a mix between a dog, fox and a deer.

Is that a strange thing?

I've seen quite a lot of people (not on this particular forum, but several others) hate on the legendaries, but I honestly love them. I'm also a bit surprised that the English website has posted the announcement for BW so early, but that definitely isn't a bad thing.

In any case, if these legendaries are a sign of further things to come this generation, I'm really excited.

I think Zekrom looks really awesome, and his expression is just epic.

"Yeah, that's right. I'm just that badass."

On the subject of the DSi enhancements, I doubt they'll be worth enough to justify buying a new system unless Nintendo decides to make the game exclusively for the DSi, which I doubt they will. I haven't seen many examples of DSi enhancements on games, which leads me to believe that developers will be cautious with their experiments into what the technology is capable of at this time. The additions will probably be Wi-Fi enhancements like previously speculated, though I'm a little doubtful of the multiple save slots, unless they decide to put in on an SD card.

On the other hand, they may create files which can be saved to SD cards which, when placed in the DSi, will unlock new features in Black and White, like the dongle mode for Pearl, Diamond, and Platinum.

Hold on - Which boxart's which? Is the one with the white background White version, or is the one with the white legendary White version?

The box which has Reshiram is Black Version and the box which which have Zekrom is White Version.

I want to keep my eyes away from new pokemon, I would rather be surprised like in Ruby Sapphire.
Save Slots would be wonderful D:

Anyone else think the Black one looks like a cool Digimon? Not a bad thing, looks amazing.....

They indeed looks like a Digimon but w/e they are cool!

I honestly don't like it. Totally not buying the game.

I like zekrom but reshiram is also cool

This will probably be the Last Pokemon Generation i'll be with :0
4th Gen disappointed me :/ hopefully 5th gen will make up for it

I'm getting Pokémon Black then! =P

And how can you judge a game based on 7 Pokémon?!

They have realized that the U.S. is a great buyer of Nintendo products. At last!

The legendaries look amazing and definitely more 'mature', but they are not completely outstanding. Reshiram might turn out to have yet another dual-type that we have seen a lot of times before. Zekrom, however, promises more diversity type-wise. Both of them look equally impressive to me, so I'll probably be confused as to which game I'll buy.

Anyways, I'm really excited about those legendaries, and I hope more information about them will be revealed soon.

I like these two. Both of them look really nice. I think I like Zekrom more. He looks more evil and stronger. I guess I am getting Pokemon White.
