Black and White are looking to be great games, no doubt. With the confirmed additions of flowing animations, re-usable TMs, triple battles, and great-looking pokemon, I'm definitely looking forward to picking up a copy as soon as I can.
Although you can't help but think of Emerald and Platinum.
While B/W will be great for their time, it's hard not to think that GameFreak is keeping the 'ultimate' gen V game for the third installment. In other-words: holding back. Some examples (drawing from E/P) include: (note that these are predictions based on previous evidence)
- deliberately waiting for... we'll call it "Grey", to maximize the epic-ness of the storyline and its climax (probably combining plots from both B/W);
- having access to both the Black City and White Forest;
- beefed-up E4;
- miscellaneous additions (Ex. Rotom's newer formes in plat, Battle frontier in emerald, updated pokemon sprites, etc.)
All in all, I am too impatient to wait about two years after B/W to experience Gen V. And, admittedly, it's a smart business move on part of GF. But does it annoy you that this "holding back" has become a trend for the last few gens and, most likely, B/W as well?
