Update News
Purchase Pokemon Black 2 or Pokemon White 2 Early for Genesect Distribution
REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 10, in the year of our Lord 2012
- The release of the Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White
Version 2 games for the Nintendo DS family of systems is quickly
approaching, and Nintendo is giving fans yet another reason to
be excited about their Oct. 7 launch. Consumers who purchase
either of the new games early will have the opportunity to
connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (broadband Internet access
required) before Nov. 12 to receive the Mythical Pokémon
Genesect for the first time ever through a free, limited-time
distribution. In Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White
Version 2 - which are also playable in 2D on Nintendo 3DS and
Nintendo 3DS XL systems - players will return to the Unova
region and embark on a new adventure set two years after the
events of the Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version
games.
Genesect, the newly discovered Mythical Pokémon, has been
restored from a 300-million-year-old fossil. Modified by Team
Plasma, this Pokémon has a signature move called Techno Blast.
Genesect is the only known Pokémon with this move. Genesect is a
Bug- and Steel-type Pokémon with the ability to adjust its power
levels based on the foe it's battling. This powerful Pokémon
will be available Oct. 7 through Nov. 12 in the United States.
"Not only can players dive into a brand new adventure on Oct. 7
with Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2, they
also can receive an incredible new Pokémon right off the bat,"
said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America's executive vice
president of Sales & Marketing. "This limited-time distribution
will get players off to a great start with what is sure to be
one of 2012's biggest games."
The Unova region of Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White
Version 2 has undergone significant changes, and new additions
can be found in both Black City and White Forest. Black Tower is
now a part of the Black City found in Pokémon Black Version 2,
while White Treehollow is found in the White Forest of Pokémon
White Version 2. In Black Tower and White Treehollow, players
can battle with high-level Pokémon to earn Exp. Points and
items. The layouts of the Black Tower and White Treehollow are
randomly generated, creating a unique experience that will
challenge players to solve their maze-like construction and
defeat the Trainers who stand in their way again and again.
Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 are now
available for pre-order from major retailers throughout North
America for a suggested retail price of $34.99 each. A deposit
may be required for pre-orders. See individual retailers for
details.
