Game Freak have announced Pokémon Black Version 2 And Pokémon White Version 2 for the Nintendo DS. details are scarce, all that is known so far is that the game is coming out in Japan this June. Pokémon Black Version 2 And Pokémon White Version 2 appear to be direct sequels to Pokémon Black And Pokémon White, the first direct sequel to any main Pokémon games.
having sequels to main Pokémon games is a strange move. a new Nintendo handheld typically means a new Pokémon TV series and then a new Pokémon game. Pokémon Black And White was released late on the DS and the current TV series is progressing fast. the logical move would have been to release a new 3DS main Pokémon game.
having a sequel on the DS leads me to speculate the 3DS game, if one existed of course, might have been delayed when the 3DS was having problems and Pokémon Black Version 2 And Pokémon White Version 2 was designed to be a stop gap to take advantage of existing DS owners and 3DS owners. If a new Pokémon game is coming to the 3DS, i expect it to come out by mid 2013.
