Pokemon Black and White announced

Pokemon Black and White has been revealed by the Pokemon Company.

This new generation of monster catching will be released on DS across Japan in the autumn.

The official website (via Joystiq) promises that in Pokemon Black and White "every aspect [of the IP] will be reborn innovatively". We'll know more on 15th April, apparently.

The only other scrap of information released so far was a profile of Zoroark, a Monster Fox Pokemon from the game.

A European release isn't likely until 2011, given Pokemon's track record. Plus, Europe has only just welcomed Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver into shops, and both are excellent.

Head over to our Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver review to find out why.
