Nintendo’s combating your post-turkey coma with yet another release date, letting us know that the next installment of the Pokémon franchise will be hitting North American DS’ on March 6, 2011.
Pokémon Black Version and White Version offer two shades to choose from, and introduce a new region along with 150 new Pokémon – possibly bringing the overall number of Pokémon to something nearing incalculable.
If you’re wondering which version is right for you Nintendo offers the following – Legendary Pokémon Reshiram can only be caught in Black Version while White Version offers Legendary Pokémon Zekrom along with other Pokémon unique to each title. Black Version also features an urban area known as Black City, while White Version features greener pastures known as White Forest.
But wait, there’s more!
Both versions of the game feature changing seasons, with certain Pokémon appearing more often at different times. Players will also begin this adventure with one of three new starter Pokémon – the Grass-type Snivy, the Fire-type Tepig and the Water-type Oshawott.
Oh! Oooh. Any word on the European release date? I dont know if I’m a bad enough dude to import this one, growing kinda tired of the series. But *twitch* 150..new..pokemon..*twitch*

Not yet, but I’m pretty sure you lot got Heart Gold / Soul Silver about two weeks after us, so hopefully it wouldn’t be any longer than that this time around too.

My sister looks forward to the release of B and W. Last Pokémon game I played was Yellow way back on the GBC since I didn’t have the time for the later games and all the ones I had to catch…
