Pokemon Black/White 2 - Iwata Asks

by rawmeatcowboy
14 June 2012
GN Version 4.0
This Iwata Asks feature includes input from Pokemon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara and Game Freak development head Junichi Masuda.

- decision to make the sequel came about after the first was completed
- the team decided to move away from what users would expect by creating this sequel
- during Black & White's development, the dev team had an idea that they could not put in the game due to time constraints
- this idea required the release of two SKUs
- that's how we ended up with Black and White 2
- the idea to turn this into a sequel for Black and White came later in development
- takes place two years after the original
- the fact that it's a direct sequel explains why the title is hitting DS instead of 3DS
