Way back in May, we posted that Nintendo will be bringing Pokémon back to the Nintendo DS with a Pokémon Black and a Pokémon White version in the Spring of 2011. Today we learned the street date is slated for March 6th 2011 and the game will have some new stuff not seen in previous Pokémon games. The two new versions will have 150 brand new Pokémons and a completely new region to explore. In fact, you will start the game with on of three new starter Pokémon, including the Grass-type Snivy, the Fire-type Tepig or the Water-type Oshawott. According to the release, you will only see new Pokémon until the main story line is completed. Also, the games will be able to be played on any of the Nintendo DS family of systems, presumably including the Nintendo 3DS once it is released. Both the White and Black versions will have an MSRP of $34.99 and pre-orders will most likely be accepted at game retailers.
