Ducky and Bub catch up on old news; I’m sure you’ve missed their banter and general charisma in these past couple of months! Discussion of B2/W2, new TCG cards, et cetera.
Believe it or not, Bub and Ducky DID record some episodes during that big gap! They aren’t exactly relevant anymore, but if you feel like giving ‘em a listen, or you just like the sound of Ducky’s voice and Bub’s dulcet tones, we present to you… The Lost Episodes (plus the original released episodes, now on the correct feed!).
Breaking from tradition, the Pokémon Company announced Pokémon Black and White Versions will each get a sequel. Few details are known at this point except for a June 2012 release date for Japan. The US site was more vague, only saying “Coming Soon.”
The mascots for the new games appear to be fusions of Zekrom + Kyurem and Reshiram and + Kyurem, but nothing about the new forms was confirmed.
The US Pokémon site also revealed that the new games will not take advantage of the 3DS’s glasses-free 3-D capabilities. From Pokemon.com:
Pokémon fans, get excited for two incredible new adventures! Announcing Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2, coming soon for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems. The games can also be played in 2D on the Nintendo 3DS™ system.
Keep checking Pokemon.com for details, including news, images, and videos, which will be revealed throughout the year.
On the bright side, there have been rumors of special features for DSi and 3DS owners.
Ducky and Bub apologize in advance for the low audio quality in this episode, but are more than happy to tell you everything they know (and some stuff they don’t know) about the villains in the Pokémon series!

It seems like forever since our interview with remix maestro Gerry Wheatley. He was the director for “The Missingno Tracks”, a compilation of Pokémon music remixes that got us hyped back in October of last year.
“Well, it’s out! It’s done, complete, and free for the taking,” Wheatley told The Pallet Tribune today, adding how grateful he was for our episode dedicated to the project way back when. “I’d go so far as to say that it helped motivate some of us into working harder, as we ended up over-shooting our original tracklist.” That list ultimately hit a whopping 28 tracks with 24 different contributing artists.
You can download all the songs right now from OverClocked ReMix for free, and just in time for Pokémon’s 15 anniversary. If you like what you hear, do these fine artists a solid and spread the word or embed the promo trailer below on your site.
After many months of intense anticipation, localization/sprite design debates, and online battle testing, we have finally been given gifts from Nintendo of America in the forms of a release date and a trailer! Though the trailer doesn’t show anything too extraordinary or brand new, it does set an interesting tone that isn’t too common in Pokémon commercials, and reveals the new March 6th release date.
It looks like the wait will soon be over, guys! Hang in there!
