On October 7th Nintendo will be releasing several new Pokemon games, Pokemon Black Version 2, Pokemon White Version 2, and Pokemon Dream Radar.

In Pokemon Black and White 2, players will thrust back into the Unova region two years after the events of the previous game.  This time, however, there are new places to be seen, new adventures to have, and new things to do.  PokeStar Studios has been added to the game, where gamers can make their own movies with their Pokemon.  There are many genres to choose from, including horror and romantic comedy.  Once the movie has been created, it can be shown in the in-game theater.  Depending on the moves selected and the order, the crowd will either love the movie or hate it.

There are many new places to explore in Version 2, including Virbank City and Aspertia City.  Virbank City is the home to Pokestar studios, while Aspertia City is the starting point of the new Pokemon Journey.  Aspertia City also host a Pokemon Gym, who’s leader is Cheren, the rival of the gamer in the previous game.  If you’re curious about the second rival, Bianca, she’s doing fine too: Bianca’s has become Professor Juniper’s assitant.

The most significant addition to the franchise comes from Pokemon Dream Radar.  Available via download through the Nintendo eStore, those with a 3DS will be able to capture Pokemon in a refreshingly new way.  Using the Nintendo 3DS’s video camera, players will use augmented reality to snag Pokemon, some of whom are quite rare, and transfer them to their Pokemon Black Version 2 or Pokemon White Version 2.
