In a press release issued by Nintendo on the 28th of May confirmed that the next generation of Pokémon games will hit international shelves from Spring 2011.
Black and White Mascots Confirmed
In addition to the announced release date, Nintendo also announced the identities of the mascots for the two games.
“It’s rare to find a franchise with such worldwide appeal and dedicated fans as Pokémon,” Laurent Fischer, a director at Nintendo, spoke of the series' popularity. Fischer also spoke of the company's excitement to be introducing "an all-new generation of Pokémon" to faithful fans.
Black Version's mascot will be the legendary Pokémon Reshiram. The mascot appears to be a large, towering white beast, featuring wings, no arms, a large, fat tail and the face of a wolf. The overall look of the legendary is not unlike that of previous mascots Palkia and Dialga. While no information has been released regarding the Pokémon's abilities, attacks or physiology, the word Shiram reportedly translates to "growing light" in English, perhaps hinting toward the Pokémon being a "good" Pokémon.
Zoroark: Dark Type Illusionary Fox Pokémon
is one of the many new creatures to be released.

To celebrate, here's a funny video for 12+. A little of the emo side but it's great:
