Pokémon Black and White Version 2 and Pokémon Dream Radar launching 12th October 2012
Jun 29th
Dive into the world of Pokémon like never before when two new Nintendo DS Pokémon games and a downloadable Nintendo 3DS title arrive this October. The successors to the acclaimed Pokémon Black Version andPokémon White Version games, Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2, are set to launch for the Nintendo DS family of systems (playable on Nintendo 3DS in 2D mode) on Friday 12th October 2012. Pokémon Dream Radar will also be available for purchase in the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS on the same day. This downloadable Nintendo 3DS title allows Nintendo 3DS owners to catch their favourite Pokémon, including some very rare ones, via the Nintendo 3DS cameras, using motion control and augmented-reality technology and transfer them into Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2.
Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 bring players back to the Unova Region two years after the events of Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version. There are many new areas to discover, and changes to familiar places for you to explore. One new area is Virbank City, home to Pokéstar Studios. Players will be able to visit Pokéstar Studios and star in their own movie with their favourite Pokémon. The movie a player creates premieres at the in-game theatre, where the audience gives it a rating. Movies are rated based on script choices and battle move sequences, and players can even create sequels to existing movies. There are many movie genres to choose from, including romantic comedy and horror.
Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 will also give fans of the original games a chance to catch up with some familiar friends. In this game, Cheren and Bianca return two years after the events of Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version, and a lot has changed. Bianca is now the assistant to Professor Juniper, helping her with Pokémon research and Cheren is now a Gym Leader and a teacher at a school in Aspertia City – the starting location for this adventure.
In Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2, players will also be able to catch some of the Pokémon from outside the Unova region ? such as Eevee, Riolu, Tyranitar, Arcanine and Mareep? right from the start of the game. If they are playing on Nintendo 3DS, players can also transfer Pokémon they have caught with the Pokémon Dream Radar into their Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 games (visible in 2D only).Pokémon Dream Radar lets players use several different features of the Nintendo 3DS system, including the Nintendo 3DS camera, motion control and augmented-reality technology, to discover and catch Pokémon. The game includes hard-to-find Pokémon such as the new Therian Formes of Legendary Pokémon Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus.
Also launching this Autumn for purchase from the Nintendo eShop, players can learn all about their favourite Pokémon with Pokédex 3D Pro for Nintendo 3DS. This enhanced and upgraded version of the original Pokédex 3Dincludes detailed information about every known Pokémon featured in the history of the Pokémon video game series.

Lyrics:
I wake up, man that night flew by
I say what’s up to the beautiful-ness that’s outside
And it may be only blocks but you gotta’ look past that
To me it’s all big jungles and grasslands
I need some tools.
Now what should I pick-axe and a sword yah that should do that trick
And back never bored, creeper time-bomb ticks
I’m so fast and I get outta’ there quick
And it’s that double tap sprint, gotta’ love it
I’m runnin’ fast, tryin’ make somethin’ of it
And I’m always running out of food to eat
I guess ten loaves of bread just wasn’t enough for me
Hash tag #firstworldminecraftproblems
Wait, 32 ingots just to build an iron golem
Woowee better get minin’
Them I’m like OMG what’s that shinin’.And I’ve been minin’ all day
Lookin’ for that blue rock in the caves
And when I’m just about crying
I found a diamond
I found a diamond
Now I’m goin’ all the way
I can build a sword, axe, or a spade
You know I thought I’d never find one.
I found a diamond
I found a diamondFinally got it, man I’m so excited
I just wanna’ get back right up to my house but then I realize it
And it’s not gonna’ be as easy as I think
Because I didn’t leave a path to follow now my stomach shrinks
Skeletons are so annoying when they find me
They just don’t give up
And those arrows, don’t remind me
These precious diamonds, I’m holding in my inventory
I’d like to keep them please
Now just don’t let this story end on a bad note
Let me make it back out
Can you hear me notch?
Just don’t let me black out
It’s looking bad no grass topped dirt in sight
But what’s that? Yah I think it is, it just might
One more block to mine, I think I did it
Feels like an eternity as my shovel goes into it
BOOM, there’s the sun and clouds I made it.
All the animals are gatherin’ round, singin’.And I’ve been minin’ all day
Lookin’ for that blue rock in the caves
And when I’m just about crying
I found a diamond
I found a diamond
Now I’m goin’ all the way
I can build a sword, axe, or a spade
You know I thought I’d never find one.
I found a diamond
I found a diamond x2
