 Today, Nintendo announced what we all knew was coming: Pokémon Black and White, the upcoming entries in the popular series, are coming to North America and Europe.    


Due for a spring 2011 release, roughly a year after Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Black and White's covers will feature Reshiram and Zekrom respectively.    


POKÉMON BLACK VERSION AND POKÉMON WHITE VERSION FOR NINTENDO DS COMING TO EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA IN   SPRING 2011    


New Legendary Pokémon Reshiram and Zekrom Grace Covers of All-New Releases    


May 28, 2010 — The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo revealed today that Pokémon™ Black Version and Pokémon White Version, featuring the next generation of all-new Pokémon, will be released for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems in spring 2011 in Europe and North America.    


Additionally, the companies divulged that new Legendary Pokémon Reshiram™ (Pokémon Black Version) and Zekrom™ (Pokémon White Version) will be featured on the covers of the all-new releases worldwide.    


"It's rare to find a franchise with such worldwide appeal and dedicated fans as Pokémon." said Laurent Fischer, Managing Director Marketing and PR, Nintendo of Europe. "We're excited to inform our fans that this eagerly anticipated adventure, featuring an all-new generation of Pokémon, will be available in Europe in spring 2011."    


The launch of Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version follows on from the popular Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions, which have sold more than 8.4 million copies worldwide to date. Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions return players to the scenic Johto region, first introduced in Pokémon Gold Version and Pokémon Silver Version, launched nearly ten years ago. The Pokémon video game series has sold more than 207 million units worldwide since its inception 14 years ago.

Whew, we dodged a bullet there.  I mean, this is such a niche series with its small but loyal fan following that it's amazing we're getting these games!

Way to go for the obvious joke there, pal.

I'm not bitter at all about the fact that you beat me to it.

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

What is up with the wonky time? Apparently Neal posted this 25 minutes into the future.

I wonder if the legendary pokemon will have to do with light and darkness or even a grander theme of Goodness and Evil.  That would be very interesting and good provide an interesting story with exploring the overall good and evil in all life.

Oh I hope not Spang although I'm bitter my Pokémon screenplay of a deadly Pokévirus killing Pokémon, some to extinction, was rejected.
