That's my expectation. Would snap one up immediately if it was anything else (but still pokemon proper ofc).

Nintendo is no longer publishing new DS retail games though.
If adults turn into children when they play DOTA I'm not sure i want to find out what kids become when they play PokeMOBA.Pokemon MOBA.
Would be awesome if it was a RSE remake for 3DS. I think it's too early for Gen 6.
though im probably the only one with that opinion.

I thought they only said that about the Wii?
I wouldn't laugh at that part! Its high time they put ol' Ashy-boy down and maybe try to emulate the games stories. Problem is... they are so super dependant Pikachu an to a lesser extent boring old Team Rocket. >.<;I'm going to laugh so hard if it is B&W3 on DS, new cartoon series, happy meal toys or something like that.
Announcement is same time with japan and NA? Is that means this unknown game will be a global release?
This isn't going to be about a card/video game tournament because they already hold those every year without a big announcement like this unless they've decided to improve it by a wide margin which I wouldn't exactly complain about.
This could either be:
-New pokemon reveal(which would symbolize that we are getting a new game soon since there aren't any more movies to show them off in)
-new Wii U game of some sort
-New spinoff game for the 3DS
-Mainline game
As for the sprites, I'm not sure if I want them because I'm convinced that Gamefreak would have to sacrifice something to put that many models on one cart.
They keep releasing shit on the DS because it has such a massive install base, but that's in part due to Pokemon, so if they want to grow the 3DS user base, they should release one there sooner rather than later.
How big is the full Pokedex app? I know this can't account for every model in said game , but on the other side, all pokemon data can't be more than 4 GB right? Right?
Is Gamefreak / Pokemon Company really that independent or is Nintendo able to call shots and demand that game to be on 3DS ? ( To increase 3DS install base)
You wouldn't really double for shinies though - you'd just color the models differently. Plus, they've been doing the environments in 3D since Gen 4, so I have no real worries they'll be able to pull off 3D.I don't know how big the app is but they would have to have 750+ models and then you have to double that for shiny pokemon. When you factor in all of the human models as well and the environments I think that is a crap ton and they would have to make sacrifices that I don't think are worth it.
Game Freak/TPCi is fairly independent - they have their own schedules for these games. 2-3 years after 3DS launches is just time enough for G6 to appear on there.Is Gamefreak / Pokemon Company really that independent or is Nintendo able to call shots and demand that game to be on 3DS ?

I imagine that, even if in theory Nintendo is in total control, they're content to let Gamefreak have free reign since they make so much money.
Here is a Joystiq article about Nintendo's patent for a Massively Single-Playing Online Game

Well, that's the reason there should be a new Generation now, without a National Dex. The national dex should come with an update.
Update how? They might as well just include it all with the game since the models would be finished and it'd keep you from having to update to just play with friends.
Didn't Nintendo patent a game concept recently that was a massively multiplayer online game that allowed for users to interact but not affect the single players experience? I always thought that would make a great idea for a Pokemon game.
It would essentially be the single player Pokemon experience we know now, except the world is always connected. Instead of random battles while you traverse the world map, you get thrown into an online multiplayer match. Gyms would double as match making lobbies if you're just in the mood to battle. You could create custom Teams to add friends, track stats, trade Pokemon and share various collectables.
Why hasn't this happened?

Pokémon MMORPG on Wii U.
A man can dream.
It'll probably be something like Pokepark 3
One more point in favour of why this is likely to be an announcement of mainline games....
The Pokémon anime in Japan has already reached the League, and that'll be over soon. We know they're going to follow that up with a story arc based around N (and presumably Team Plasma). While we don't know how long that arc will be, it would seem difficult to draw that out for too long. There's not really a lot left in B2W2 to develop into another story arc, besides maybe the World Tournament, and that's arguably already been done with the anime's "Junior World Cup" anyway. Barring the creation of an anime original region (which they've avoided since the end of Gen I), something totally unexpected (visiting regions from spin-off games like Colosseum), or the anime being brought to a close (highly unlikely), they're going to need a new game region to go to.
