More BW2-related changes. Clarifying that what we don't know, we can't add. We don't know whether BW2 are third versions or sequels, so they're a separate pair for now.

A later third game, usually to conclude the generation, is released with several, usually minor, storyline tweaks, but with the same basic plot and taking place in the same [[region]]. Like the first two games, it will always be missing some of the Pokémon (though will likely contain some of those missing from one of the other two), and so, players of this third version must link together with the original pair to complete the Pokédex. | A later third game, usually to conclude the generation, is released with several, usually minor, storyline tweaks, but with the same basic plot and taking place in the same [[region]].

[[Generation III]] was the first generation which contained the release of ''two'' sets of paired versions, first {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and then later {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as well as which did not contain a third version because for one of its storylines because they were [[remakes]] of [[Pokémon Red and Green versions]] (the [[Hoenn]]-based Ruby and Sapphire were later joined by {{v2|Emerald}}, however, [[Kanto]]'s storyline did not receive a tuned-up third game). This was later mimicked by [[Generation IV]], which featured a similar setup, except the [[Pokémon Platinum Version|third version]] was released before the [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver versions|remakes]]. | [[Generation III]] was the first generation which contained the release of ''two'' sets of paired versions, first {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and then later {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as well as which did not contain a third version because for one of its storylines because they were [[remakes]] of [[Pokémon Red and Green versions]] (the [[Hoenn]]-based Ruby and Sapphire were later joined by {{v2|Emerald}}, however, [[Kanto]]'s storyline did not receive a tuned-up third game).

[[Generation V]] is currently in progress, and has had [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|one set of paired versions]] released and a [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|second set]] announced. It has yet to be announced what their relation to each other is. | |||
