A sequel to Pokémon Black and White, the two new versions Pokémon Black and White 2 will nevertheless feature a huge number of new main characters…
[ Back to the Pokémon Black and White 2 section ]
Revealed in the May 2012 issue of CoroCoro Comics, these new characters will be at the heart of this new adventure…
Quick access:
Hero and heroine
You will play as one of two new characters, as usual a ten-year-old girl or boy. Compared with Hilbert and Hilda, their looks seem to have been made somewhat younger…
Coming from the new metropolis of Aspertia City, in the southwest of the Unova region, these two youngsters will have to choose their starter Pokémon (apparently from among Gruikui, Vipélierre and Moustillon) before setting off to explore the region and pursue their quest to become a Pokémon Master.

Rival
The friendly rivals that have been around since the third generation are finally a thing of the past! Make way for a real rival, who of course also comes from Aspertia City. His default name is Hugh.
Even though he seems to be one of your childhood friends, he is credited with a quote that is not exactly friendly: “I’m going to get angry now!” As a result, he seems to resemble Blue from Pokémon Red and Blue, a childhood friend of Ash / Red before becoming his rival.
His darker look also points toward a rival: dark colors and messy hair in the same shades, topped off with a mischievous little smile…

Colress
A blond scientist with a rather unusual hairstyle, Colress (Akuroma アクロム in Japanese) is an expert who studies the power of Pokémon. His face betrays a certain passion, but which side will he take? Yours or your enemies’?
Perhaps he is a good man! In that case, he may be another Pokémon Professor based in the Unova region, and Colress would be the one to hand you your starter Pokémon…
Perhaps he is a bad man! That hypothesis seems more and more likely. In that case, he is probably studying the new forms of Kyurem, Black and White Kyurem. He may even be linked to Team Plasma and have helped create Genesect, a Pokémon whose power has been enhanced… which would fit perfectly with his field of expertise.

Bianca
The scatterbrained young blonde has come a long way! Bianca has apparently changed careers and become Professor Juniper’s Assistant.
Her look has been revised to better suit her job. Although she does not wear a lab coat, Bianca is still sporting glasses that give her a much more serious air.
Among her duties, the girl will be tasked with coming to Aspertia City to give a starter Pokémon to the hero and the rival.

Who else?
Since the adventure of Pokémon Black and White 2 takes place two years after the original versions and is their sequel, it is obvious that a number of characters will return. All the more so when you look at earlier “sequels”, such as Red and Blue from Pokémon Red and Blue, who reappeared in Pokémon Gold and Silver.
Quite possibly, the main characters will be there first: N, who went far away, will probably be back, as will Cheren, now a Gym Leader, not to mention Hilbert or Hilda… who ultimately do not seem to appear.
