{{bp|Game Freak}} director {{bp|Junichi Masuda}} has updated his blog with an unexpected announcement. {{bp|Pokémon Black and White Versions}} will only feature {{bp|Generation V}} Pokémon up until the player acquires the {{bp|National Pokédex}}. In the update, Masuda said that his intention was to give players both new and veteran an equally new experience, akin to Pokémon Red and Green/Blue Versions back in {{bp|Generation I}}. 

This same line of thought seems to have been used when the decision was made to reset the route numbers back from route one, and placing {{bp|Isshu}} in a remote location from the rest of the {{bp|Pokémon world}}. It remains to see what, if any, non-standard features from the established Pokémon world will be included in Pokémon Black and White.
