Special anime short introduces players to an extreme Pokemon Black and White 2

The Pokemon Company has released a five-minute anime short meant to promote the upcoming Black and White 2, only the video presents a rare side of the long-running series.

The mini movie takes a more serious approach than most fans might recognize—and the metal music is only half of it. Give it a watch and let us know what you think in the comments.

Pokemon Black/White 2 will ship for DS later this year. Nintendo plans to release special 3DS apps for the games in the eShop. These sequels take place two years after the events of the first games.
