How I wanted Cactowl to be real.

Since we are asking for things Game Freak will never give us, I want a psychic starter.
Psychic/Fighting/Dark starters don't seem that crazy, really.

Only if I can have the Dark-type starter I've been yearning for.
Dark being immune to psychic screws up the triangle tho.

The fact that Dark outright resists Psychic always made this one seem a tad sketchy to me. edit: FFFFFFFFFFffdgh!
But at this point i'll take Normal/Normal/Normal over Fire/Water/Grass, screw the kids learning their basic type matchup mechanics!
Not if they're creative with abilities!
That would also mean the end of Torrent/Overgrowth/Blaze, which I would be more than happy to see.
Fire/Psychic Starter. Let's go.
Yeah, it was a dumb worry of mine! I'm certain it won't be that.
I would be fine with a Pokémon Gray, but only on 3DS. I can't accept any Pkmn game on DS.
On B/W you have Reshiran and Zekrom.
On B/W 2, you have Kyurem that absorbs one of them depending on the version. The conclusion is that Kyurem should have some kind of merged form with both Reshiran and Zekrom. A "Grey Kyurem" forme.
Also on it, they should give a plot point for Genosect. It's a insanely powerful Pokémon made by team plasma, yet it's not explored and a more event Pokémon. I would like it to have "Complete forme", and be finished as it was supposed to be before N stopped the project.

Such an awesome design.
This. No fucking fire fighting please, jesus christ.
That's what has me positive it's a fake. Also that guy would be fired so hard for leaking that it would singlehandedly open up enough jobs to fix the unemployment rate.

Hilariously enough outside of Blaziken they are all based on Journey to the West.
So the fire starter is probably either the priest guy or the ogre guy.
Also despite being similar in typing the three falls into different niche, especially with their hidden abilities.
'sup
Fire/Psychic starter just Scalds his butt to death.
Shame Emboar doesnt really perform well for a fighting type..

If those rumours are true (who knows, might be, more than likely not), the whole less story and set in space colonies thing is a bit of a turn off for me. It's too radical and personally sounds more spin-off territory to me.
Most of the other rumours in that list are cool. I want 360 degree movement (or 8 directions, whatever, just no grid), a new type would be great, character customisation is a no brainer for going 3D (but would rule out anime style cutscenes I wouldn't mind seeing), AR would be a massive feature if done right so I would love to see that too, etc.
But I honestly thought BW/BW2 was a great step in the right direction for story. I'm not expecting gaming's best stories in Pokémon games but I still want to see them. With 3D and more powerful hardware in general they can really try to make the story in these games more engaging and dare I say it, emotional. The games are mostly about forming bonds with these creatures, so use that to its full potential.
Region wise, I want something that's really detailed, exciting, beautiful and varied. Something that really makes you want to discover and explore it to find all of its hidden secrets as well as Pokémon habitats. By moving onto the 3DS they can really push exploration more than they could before so I really wouldn't want to see that wasted on space colonies. Sure it says biospheres so I guess there could be varied environments that aren't all space themed and stuff, but I still think it would be too crazy. Also bring the camera down a bit so we can see more of the world and also the sky. Not sure about a free camera, but they could always explore using different set up camera angles to show off things.
Also, Cactowl looked awesome.

The Pokemon world can only have so many regions, they will have to turn to space eventually.

They only just started turning to other countries to base regions on. I'm sure they have plenty of regions to go (how do you even run out of imaginary regions?)
Black/White starters really should have evolved to Fire/Dark, Water/Fighting and Grass/Psychic. Even their designs look like it....
I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I... chose...

Something in Pokemon Europe or Afica would be good.

You should get on that. It's probably the best game in the series.

It would be like Hoenn all over again with all the water and rain, except not as glamorous in the slightest...
An alternate universe. Where it's all medival and it plays like a monster capturing Monster Hunter.
Rapture would be to Gen 3.
I really want to, but my backlog is fucking ridiculous, maybe I'll just shove it to the top of my list.

They should make a region based on Ontario with Toronto as the major city and Rob Ford as the leader of the evil team.

The evil team are a gang of hooded youths stealing from local pokemarts speaking with slurred and occasionally incomprehensible dialogue, the new friend/rival starts falling victim to peer pressure leading to a more personal tale that'll really speak to the younger generation!

I wasn't familiar with the lore of the series, didn't know that all the regions were on the same continent. I stand corrected, there is plenty of room for more regions.

They can make an evil team about those who only prefer the original 150 mons and plan to destroy the other Pokemons with some power bomb.
Yeah Emboar could've been really good.
Nah. I can see Emboar being Fire/Ground (Dark really doesn't fit its repertoire). Serperior can be Grass/Poison (fits the rose has its thorns motif along with the royalty thing) and yeah part Psychic.

The anime will be replaced by hard hitting live action drama.

Wouldn't surprise me if we see something like this on E4 next summer now...
I like the way you think!
Do we have a map with Gen IV and V as well?Map of first three generations:
There's still plenty of room left!
Agreed, would have been better if Emboar was a quadruped Fire/Ground type. I was expecting his design to be somewhat similar to Twilight Princess Ganon.

To be fair, if there was a show that did for Pokemon what Misfits does for superheroes, that'd sure be something...
The gen 5 region is supposed to be far away from the others. I'm guessing the same distance New York is from Japan.

Elaborate rumors have already begun!
The bolded should be enough for anyone who knows some Japanese to know this whole thing is bullshit.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Wait, why?
The Japanese-types are different than the English ones...Psychic is "Esper" in Japan.

Because the word for "digital" in Japanese is "digital." There's nothing to be translated.
