Nintendo starts Pokemon Black and White with new Pokemon
We’re creeping closer and closer to the launch of Nintendo’s Pokemon Black & White, the latest game in the Pocket Monster franchise. American and European regions can get their hands on the game in the Spring, but Japanese gamers have just about 6 weeks to wait, with a September 18th launch over there.
