Pokemon Black/White 2 - New Animated Trailer on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Nintendo have released a new animated trailer for the upcoming sequel to Pokémon Black / White, with all new faces in a familiar world.

The plot this time round follows on two years from its predecessor, set in the same world of Unova. Unlike the regular long-running animé series, there isn't a prickly haired Ash Ketchum or his trusty Pikachu in sight, instead the scenes depict a new hero rumbling against a mysterious new masked foe through shards of vicious ice.

There's also battles aboard a ship, Lucario letting loose some energy - plus two fierce Legendary beasts going up against one another in a climatic finalé. All rather exciting stuff to be explored in the direct sequel for DS (and 3DS) later this year.

The Pokémon Company are on the rampage to shut this trailer down - so be sure to get a look in before it goes.


 

What do you think of this new trailer for Pokémon Black/White 2 - would you like to see a new animé series along the same lines and cutscenes within the game itself in this style?

The anime? What about the game! This little animation is great! Reminds me of the badass scenes in Chrono Trigger. If we got sweet cut scenes like this throughout the game I'd be sold, sold, sold.

He meant if only the main Pokémon anime was like that, I can't help but echo that thought because the Pokémon anime is pretty shit and the style and animation for this is so pretty... I'd kill to get a full series like this.

Either way one of the greatest promo vids ever v-v sure got me hyped as hell.

Overboard? They only created two, and they both involved Kyurem. We don't know that it's a Yu-Gi-Oh! rip-off either, at least not until we see how these fusions play out. Plenty of games have this type of thing.

In any case, I loved this. Sweet animation, and the voice acting wasn't half bad. Arcanine biting Seviper in mid-air was pretty cool, as well. I'd love to see more of this for cutscenes (obviously, nothing where the player is battling, since that would involve a ridiculous amount of work). An anime like this would be great, as well.
