Damn, you beat me by mere minutes! I wanted to be the first to mention this confusing new announcement.
Anyway, now they're going too far. TWO new sequels? Like two versions of the first Unova movie weren't enough. This black/white division has gotten utterly ridiculous.

But yeah, I'm pretty baffled by this. Especially just from thinking what is going to be in these games. I mean, are they sequels?! Or will they just be expansions like all previous third games? The mind boggles.

I hope they'll be real sequels that take place many years after Black and White's storyline. Return of Team Plasma with a new leader, different Gym Leaders, different Elite Four and Champion, etc. Probably not going to happen, but it'd be really cool if it did.
And I totally agree, the reason they didn't make Grey was because they didn't know which spelling to use.

I think it's quite obvious why Gamefreak is doing this. It can't cost that much more to make a slightly different version of a game, and they're sure plenty of fanatics will buy both when they come out.
It's obviously a money grab. Almost as blatant as Skylanders.

I am very glad I gave up on Pokemon games after I finished Diamond.

Hahaha what the hell, Nintendo. Why didnt you make Game Freak make the game for the 3DS? We still need games for that thing you know.
I really don't know why they're doing this. It would make muh more sense to have a Grey version. Hell, even a 3DS remake would make more sense. Making a sequel to a game released on the DS in a time when Nintendo should be trying to pump up the 3DS is stupid. C'mon son.
MOD STUFF: Might want to add the Serebii post to the OP, Dotty.

I had heard that Kyurem merges with Zekrom/Reshiram.

Because they knew not that many people bought the 3DS, and that they'd be pissing off a lot of people (as well as losing out on a lot of profits) if they made it 3DS-exclusive. The way they're doing it now, they can pull in profits from anyone who owns a DS-type system- which is a lot of people.

Yeah, but it would be smart to make a game like that 3DS exclusive. You'd be surprised how many people will buy a system just for one game. Remember how bad the PSP did? It's sales exploded when Monster Hunter came out on it. Something tells me that the same would happen if they released a Pokemon game for the 3DS. To increase sales some more they would make a limited run of Pokemon Black/White themed 3DSs. People go mad for the system and sales go up. Bish, bash, bosh. Even if you exclude all of that it makes perfect sense for Nintendo to support it's current system. The DS is last gen. By not even acknowledging a 3DS release, regardless of exclusivity, Nintendo are making a pretty stupid mistake. Sure, the DS is still popular. Cool and all that. They should at least push out a 3DS version with improved graphics and the like.
