No major Bioni-Lords developments this week, sorry. So I guess I'll just talk about the major Pokemon development of the past week.

We've been playing Pokemon Black and White for a while, waiting for them to announce the inevitable third version, when, on Sunday, an announcement was made. Rather than releasing a Pokemon Gray like everyone was expecting, they surprised us all by deciding to make Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2! Strange, yes, I agree. They really haven't told us much about it yet, so at this point everything is speculation...except for the mascots, of course.

The mascots of Black and White, Reshiram and Zekrom (respectively), are part of a trio of Pokemon (as is often the case with version mascots), the third member being a Pokemon named Kyurem. Kyurem is the mascot of both Black 2 and White 2, but it has a new form for each version!

This is original Kyurem.

This is Black Kyurem, mascot of Black 2.

This is White Kyurem, mascot of White 2.

So it looks like Kyurem ended up eating one of the other members of its trio. Oh, Pokemon...

And yes, I plan to make a Kyurem Spirit that can switch between all three forms. These games should be released in Japan this June, so I'll probably have enough info to make them about that time. If not then, the games are supposed to come to America in autumn, so I'll definitely make the Spirit once I get my own copy of White 2.

I'm psyched. This is gonna be a great year for American fans of JRPGs, such as myself. We got Final Fantasy XIII-2 in February, we're getting Disgaea 3 Portable in April, Pokemon Black and White 2 in autumn, and Kingdom Hearts 3D at some point this year (rumored to be July)!

So I'll be distracted for my work all year long.

Oh, and since I'm on spring break week after next, I'm going to sit down and put some work into VioletRose and HonoredSoul. I truly am going to do my best to get them up during May or July!
