Today, Pokémon Smash revealed that you will be able to play B&W2 in a retro black and white pixelated perspective just like in the original games on the Gameboy. This revelation has sent fans wild with anticipation after the initial announcement of B&W2 left some fans feeling a bit Sceptile (see what I did there!?). The unfortunate news is that you will have to beat the Elite 4 before it becomes available in the game menu (where you go to start/load the game). However we are promised a full render that will unlock the nostalgia factor in long term fans. “It is a thank you for sticking by the series for all these years” said Satoshi Tajiri when he was briefly interviewed on the show. He also went on to say that there are more “surprises” awaiting for long term fans. What could he mean? Will it be an old region? Or could an old enemy be returning? For now though, this is all we have to go on. What do you make of this shocking but exciting news? One person said to me “This is more epic than Arceus, Mewtwo & Deoxys all merging into one Pokémon!!”, another simply said “This is better than Piloswine bacon :D”. Please note we do not tolerate cruelty to Pokémon and this person has now been reported to the RSPCA. Leave your thoughts & comments below.
