Pokemon Black Version 2 and Pokemon White Version 2 will be released for DS systems on October 12 in the UK, Nintendo has announced.

Pokemon Black Version 2 and Pokemon White Version 2 bring players back to the Unova Region two years after the events of Pokemon Black Version and Pokemon White Version. There are many new areas to discover, and changes to familiar places for you to explore.

Pokemon Dream Radar will also be available for purchase in the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS on the same day. This downloadable Nintendo 3DS title allows Nintendo 3DS owners to catch their favourite Pokemon, including some very rare ones, via the Nintendo 3DS cameras, using motion control and augmented-reality technology and transfer them into Pokemon Black Version 2 and Pokemon White Version 2

Fans of the original games will also meet up with some familiar friends. Cheren and Bianca return two years after the events of Pokemon Black Version and Pokemon White Version – Bianca is now the assistant to Professor Juniper, helping her with Pokemon research, and Cheren is now a Gym Leader and a teacher at a school in Aspertia City.

Players will also be able to catch some of the Pokémon from outside the Unova region − such as Eevee, Riolu, Tyranitar, Arcanine and Mareep− right from the start of the game.

Also launching this autumn in the Nintendo eShop is Pokedex 3D Pro for Nintendo 3DS. This enhanced and upgraded version of the original Pokedex 3D includes detailed information about every known Pokemon featured in the history of the Pokemon video game series.
