Meet the new protagonists of Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. They're the guy with hair spilling out of his visor and the girl with Princess Leia hair. In this trailer, you'll also see the rival (spiky haired guy with no nose), a researcher named Akuroma, and some new gym leaders.

We hope we're not spoiling anything by telling you that you'll have a rival and face a series of gym leaders. Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 will be out in Japan on June 23; it's due in North America this fall.

Pokemon Black/White Version 2 are slated to hit Japanese DSes this June, with a North American release later this fall. If previous titles are any indication, this Japanese box art should be roughly analogous to what we'll get in our stores, as hungry Pokemaniacs ravage the land of its resources.

Several images from the upcoming Pokemon Black Version 2 and White Version 2 have surfaced in Japan's CoroCoro magazine, reports Serebii.net. The images offer a few details about the game, which has so far been contained in a Pokeball of silence. Black and White 2 takes place two years after the first and will be set in Unova, part of which seems to be frozen. The game kicks off in a new area, Hiougi City. The Unova Pokedex includes 300 Pokemon, featuring both new and familiar pocket monsters.

What little we know of Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 is that it will feature two new forms of the legendary monster Kyurem - Black Kyurem (which fuses it with Zekrom) and White Kyurem (which fuses it with Reshiram).

Pokemon Black and White 2 has just been announced on Pokemon Smash, an official Pokemon television program in Japan. The sequel to Pokemon Black and White will launch for the DS in Japan this June. No further specifics are yet available regarding North American availability, new Pokemon or any battle-system changes that may occur.

This will be the first numbered sequel to a traditional Pokemon game; previous generations have consisted of two initial releases followed by a single, similarly-titled "enhanced" version: Pokemon Diamond and Pearl followed by Pokemon Platinum, for instance. Now, however, we'll have Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2. Whether this distinction is purely cosmetic or carries heavier gameplay implications, remains unclear. All we know for certain is that, by now, the PokeRap must be several hours long.

Update: A statement on the US Pokemon site calls the games "Pokemon Black Version 2" and "Pokemon White Version 2" and says that details will be sent out "throughout the year."

UPDATE: In a surprising development, it seems that the "third" entry in the fifth generation of Pokemon games will actually be two separate titles, releasing simultaneously.
