How many new pokemon are in pokemon black and white?

I'm thinking about getting back into pokemon games.
The last game I heard about related to pokemon was black and white.

First question - is this the newest pokemon game for the Nintendo DS?

Also, how many pokemon are in the game? Is Nintendo planning to release another pokemon game? (should I wait and purchase another pokemon game)

1st of all,there are also pokemon black and white 2 which like just got released. and for the number of pokemon in the black and white,i think there are 150.No,152.I just checked my pokedex for the 3ds.bye!! im gonna check out a video called 'my little amneisia' witch is a parody of my little pony and the game called Amneisia .

(Well then, that was fast) Okay, like she said, The newest games are Black and White 2. Now for the rest of the questions, Nintendo IS planning on making new games, and I recommend getting the second game(s) due to the events being over for the game(s), but the story and character design are way better on the first game(s) (my opinion). If you wait, you may end up waiting for another year (or two). I'm just going to trust savanna77 on the number of Pokemon on Black and White. I don't have the game to confirm it (although I could check serebii.net). I'm just going to trust the girl. Well, gotta go.

THX!!!

I recently bought Pokemon White because I felt like playing Pokemon again. They just released Pokemon Black and White 2, but I chose the first Pokemon White to smooth into the transition from 4th Gen to 5th.

There are 649 Pokemons as of now according to Serebii.

I got pokemon white, but I really wanted black because of the triple battles.
White has some sort of rotation battles I think... :/
