Corocoro, Yahoo's Pokémon website and the official Pokémon websites have all updated to post tons of new information about the upcoming games Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. The English box art has been revealed as well as a brief description of the story.

Story Outline

Your journey takes place in the Unova region two years after the events of Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version. You’ll start your adventure in Aspertia City, in the far southwest corner of the Unova region. Many things have changed in the region, including some extraordinary new places and people for you to discover. Plus, many of the returning characters from Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version have taken on new roles when you meet them.

Look forward to uncovering the mystery of Black Kyurem—or White Kyurem—somewhere in the Unova region. Little is known about this enigmatic Pokémon, except that it’s a Dragon- and Ice-type Pokémon with a devastating Ice-type attack—even stronger than Zekrom’s Fusion Bolt or Reshiram’s Fusion Flare!

Main Characters in Black 2 White 2

Returning in Black 2 White 2 are Bel and Cheren but both have taken up different roles as both have completed their journey's as two years have passed since the events of the first Black and White game. Bel has impressive red glasses and is now Dr. Araragi's assistant. She helps the players complete the Zukan and she visits the players in their hometown of Hiougi City (ヒオウギシティ) to give out one of the three starter Pokémon.

Cheren is now a Normal-type Gym Leader who holds a book in one hand and the player is able to battle against him. Bel and Cheren meet up for the first time in two years as the player goes to challenge him. Two years ago, N acted as the king of the Plasma Gang and even defeated the Champion Adeku. Now no one knows what has happened to N!

Returning Characters for the Pokémon World Tournament

Various Gym Leaders, Elite Four Members and Villains will be returning from previous games in Black 2 White 2 for the Pokémon World Tournament (ポケモンワールドトーナメント). Confirmed are: Kasumi, Takeshi, Daigo, Wataru, Shirona, Green, Denji, Sakaki, Erika, Anzu and Katsura. Players will be able to battle them in single and double battles.

PokéWood (ポケウッド)

is a term that combines Pokémon with Hollywood. The aim of this new game feature is to make a movie to attract an audience by making a scenario that would appeal to them. Players are given a variety of script options to choose from and film it in front of a green screen. After screening the movie, players are given reputation points for how well their movie did. A mechanical Bangiras seems to be a main feature in the creation of these movies.

I really can't wait for this autumn... I was already quite excited about the game itself when it was announced, back in March, but the more I learn about it, the more I want to play it.

I'm just a tad disappointed Takeshi won't get to play any significant role in the game, but I'm still glad he's back, along with the other previous gen. characters.

Maybe I'll try to complete White's Pokédex before I play those...
