Pokemon Fansite Reveals Latest Method for Cross-Gen Transfers in Pokemon Black & White
Pokemon News/Fansite Serebii.net today revealed how the new Pokemon Black & White game will allow gamers to transfer Pokemon from their older generation games to the new version.
According to Serebii, gamers will still need to rely on two DS units in order for the transfers to work; however, once they reach the required building within the Isshu Region, similar to the Pal Park in Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver and Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, gamers will be able to transfer Pokemon from their previous generation games to Black & White, up to six at a time, and catch them via a new mini-game. Within the mini-game, gamers will see the six transferred Pokemon appear within a set of bushes. The character in the game will be given a bow with which to launch Pokeballs at the Pokemon in order to capture them. Completing the mini-game involves catching all six pokemon, at which point they are also added to your collection of Pokemon.
The trading options are also still available within Pokemon Black & White for those who prefer an alternate route of acquiring Pokemon that don't appear in the game.
Pokemon Black & White is set to ship in North America within the second quarter of 2011.

Nintendo 3DS details set to be announced in September, Nintendo of Europe provides pricing hints.
In what's basically an announcement of an announcement, Bloomberg is reporting that Nintendo will formally announce the price and release date for their upcoming handheld on September 29th. While the Nintendo 3DS has a vague release window -- it's set to be released this fiscal year, which ends on March 31st, 2011 -- no concrete dates have been revealed. This is, however, something of a strange date as the Tokyo Game Show runs September 16th through the 19th. Though whether anything will be made public during that convention remains to be seen.
And in related news, website Electricpig interviewed Nintendo UK's marketing manager James Honeywell in which hints about the 3DS were dropped. "But for everyone who already knows, you know, the Nintendo DSi is available for around (EUR) 129.99. The Nintendo DSi XL, with the larger screens, is around (EUR) 159.99." Honeywell states that the 3DS will fit somewhere into that pricing scheme, perhaps adding some credence to Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter's claim that the unit will retail for about $250 in North America.
