Storyline and Characters Discussion Thread [Read First Post]

[Geekachu]

So I'm guessing the '2' implies that these are sequels of Black and White. Given that, I'm assuming that BW2 are almost the Gold and Silver to BW's Red and Blue, albeit far more reductive. Since the Zekrom/Kyurem fusion is a mascot for Black, and vice versa for Reshiram, then this is obviously going to build on N, considering that in the original Black N was in possession of Zekrom (and, again, vice versa for Reshiram.)

N was generally reformed at the end of the past games, so it should be interesting to see how things transpire in this game.

Just continuing the parallels between RBY-GSE and BW-BW2, it would be interesting if we get new protagonists, and the old ones can be challenged in a Red-style battle at the end of the game. Who knows.

Same with this thread guys - a lot of one sentence posts going along. Remember the first post and the current rules of this section:

Remember that all speculating posts must have at least 3 sentences of detail.

Repeat offenders can expect infractions too, so please take note. Quoting a post with 'I didn't know that', 'I don't understand' or 'That is cool I hope that happens' does not an interesting discussion make.

If it is an actual sequel, like a new game continueing on the story of B/W, N might get a completely different role. What if he becomes a boss battle like Red!? That would be very awesome indeed .

[Shining-Platinum]

If Pokemon Black and White 2 do end up being sequels to the original Black and White, I really want it to be set a few years after. I always thought that Anville Town always looked like a starting town, so my guess is that the new player starts off the Anville Town and then travels through an extended part of Unova on the west side of the region. I also really want the airport in Mistralton City to be used sometime and for a new Battle Frontier and/or the airplane taking you to the Hoenn Battle Frontier to allow accessibility with the future RSE remakes.

[mitchman_93]

The story should be a complete sequel. As mentioned the Pokemon got switched back, and based on the previous events, N having Zekrom in black makes sense for the title mon to be Black Kyurem and vice versa. What I expect is that N let it out in the wild, or tried to recreate the original dragon and damned the entire region. How its gonna work I dunno, but it would be nice if the sequel part is based on chasing him to whatever region he went to.

[Pokemonpal7]

What if the goal is to fly between the different regions with Skyla in a plane and look for N? I think that would be pretty cool, as that would be 40 badges to collect, 16 different Elites, 4 Champions, and lots of different Pokemon available to catch. Hunting N andGhetsis down and having the 2 new Kyurem formes could have a big storyline impact.

This sounds superduber cool, but horribly irrealistic to be honest. I could see that airport having some sort of role in chasing or something, but not betwee all regions. Maybe just Hoenn? That would be awesome in itself! Where in Hoenn would you land your plain though? It has the space place in littleroot and the boats in Lilycove and Slateport, but that's about it.

[bobandbill]

I doubt we'd be getting multiple regions in the game, and certainly not multiple old ones. Say with Hoenn it'd make more sense for them to make a new game and hence make more profit from a Hoenn game, and so forth. Four-five regions is even less likely - you also have other constraints to consider (levelling, file space, etc).

Mind you I wonder if it'd even use Unova in the first place. That's not confirmed after all.

[smartie]

Not using Unova... That is a very interesting concept, though I think that too is quite unlikely.. Maybe just add a new part to the region, that seems a whole lot more likely. Though now that I think about not using Unova, that is sooo interesting!

A different area, at least, remains to be a possibility. This generation is really straying from previous conventions, so I guess that anything's possible. Well, not anything, because I highly doubt that Hoenn will be involved when they could milk it for a remake.

As noted, Zekrom and Reshiram feature on the opposite version as their predecessors, which implies that N will make a return, considering that in Pokemon White N owned Reshiram and vice versa. Considering that N was spotted in a different region, it's possible that the story continues to follow N and his shenanigans, assuming that this a canonical sequel to BW.

[Wulava]

I personally think that the whole story still takes place in Unova but only with expanded and additional areas.
Since this is a sequel, the events might take place a year or two after the events of BW.

It is also entirely possible that we have a new set of main characters. Maybe people who just recently moved in to Nuvema. Old friends such as Cheren and Bianca are still present, while Hilda/Hilbert will be training somewhere in Unova, similar to Red in Mt. Silver. That said, we can start the game fresh and battle the Pokemon League again as we go along the new plot.

[mitchman_93]

It should be a canonical sequel based on the reversal alone. And a new region would make sense, or better yet expand on Unova. What I mean is, do what Johto did for Kanto, but instead of basing 2 whole gens on it, get it all in 1 gen. Have undiscovered Unova Pokemon or something like that, and have the game take place a while after BW. The main characters might not change, considering how in BW they basically tie into the tale of the 2 brothers.

This makes the most sense [since they have a region base in Unova already, and these games were probably being made alongside B/W to release it just over a year and half after the B/W JPN release].

[ironsjack]

I reckon it will start out the same as BW. You go through all the gyms and beat the elite 4 (with obvious plot changes as N won't be there) and then after you get told of N. You then use the airport to fly to the place where N is hiding. Who knows where that will be, my guess is Hoenn.

[misterdarvus]

I personally doesn't like the sequel idea (who actually say that it's a sequel?).

I have some speculation about how we meet Kyurem, maybe N will go to Giant Chasm to meet Kyurem. See that bridge outside Giant Chasm? I would be another way to go inside Giant Chasm, because Kyurem can make hailstorm, the area on route 11, Village Bridge, route 11 would be covered with snow, preventing us to encounter non-Unova pokemon.

[Toxicated92]

Gotta love it
There I was thinking it was going to be 'Pokemon grey' but instead sequels
EPIC! So as I got Pokemon Black I can now get Pokemon White 2
I recon the story is going to be similar but contain the 3 ninjas! We'll find out who they are, and we'll also discover why/how they got to be who they are
And that they are the reason how Kuyrem merged with Zekrom or Rerisham

[Poke_Mania97]

It would be so awesome if it was set a few years after! Maybe Hilbert o whoever the girl one is are the champions OR they are NPC's you encounter like Red. maybe like Red they released the legendary they caught (red caught mewtwo and released it as you find it in GSC). Hmm that could work with the story, like maybe a New NPC will need to catch that for the story. Im not too sure.

But i would love it if N was an Ally or a badass NPC like Red on top of Mount Silver. Although I kinda want that whole 'N being in another location with a dragon pokemon' to be a hint towards Generation 6. as in he will be in the gen 6 games.

I really do hope these are SEQUELS to Black and white. Im sure there wont be a new region. it will most likely be unova or a new part of it

[Skegs]

I don't really like the 2 games instead of one. Then you have to decide which one you want, while if they came out with Grey/Gray there would only be one. But oh well, we can't change it now. I hope this plot reveals a lot about Ghetsis and N's past. I would love for some really strongly thought out things in the end, like maybe even having someone die. I hope Straiton gym is replaced, like they had to do some business (SHADOW TRIAD ANYONE?)

[TehLulzMastur]

I'm guessing that somehow, N's Zekrom/Reshiram has been captured by somebody trying to follow Ghetsis' legacy (Perhaps the Shadow Triad?) and was merged with Kyurem. Now, they're hunting you, trying to capture your Reshiram/Zekrom so they can finally complete the original dragon of legend. Also, I propose that the nicknames for these new formes be either Reshurem and Zekurem or Kyuram and Kyrurom.

"A completely new adventure will begin" is all we really know bout the games from the site. Unless its PR fluff to mean we're gonna get the same 2 games again, which would be a no, cause its just ridiculous if they're gonna do this and have us go through the same game twice, for 2 new forms. 3rd versions were already pushing it, doing this would be the breaking point.
