Doesn't B2/W2 have this tournament? It's the one feature that's really got me thinking about buying it.

Yeah White/Black 2 already have this tournament.

 

[GAMERG0D]

With the huge userbase on the 3DS in Japan this announcement will probably pertain to 3DS.

 

[OceanBlue]

I don't think I could finish a game where you went to three regions, to be honest. I already spent over 50 hours beating BW2. Plus, how would levels be spread in such a game? 40-70-100?

I don't know. I personally thought BW2 was really fun, and this is someone who thought DPPt and especially BW weren't too exciting. PWT satisfies a lot of my itches for older games as well.

 

[Boss Doggie]

What if it's a Pokemon dating game

Also I find it hilarious that it took PWT to actually show a stadium-like match in the main series.

 

[gosox333]

I know this has probably been obvious to everybody but me from the get go, but if Masuda is pushing this, doesn't that mean it pretty much has to be something GF related?

 

[Sigismundo]

Yes. They wouldn't roll him out for a spin-off announcement.

How would people feel about a Rayman Origins-esque artstyle for Gen 6?

 

[grandjedi6]

yeah gold/silver do kinda serve more as direct sequels to their previous game than r/s, d/p, and b/w do to each other, but having a game where you're red once again would be huge.

i don't think you could ever have a game where you're the same character. It would bring up the question of where all your Pokemon from the last game went.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Bring back the true battle factory please.

 

[zroid]

so it would just be the anime then

Magically nerfed by the de-aging bat.

 

[Aaron Strife]

I would hope in a Red/Blue 2 you would go back to Vermilion City and that guy stamping down the ground with Machoke has built something awesome.

 

[Sigismundo]

He hasn't built anything in Gold/Silver yet and that's your Red/Blue 2.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I would hope in a Red/Blue 2 you would go back to Vermilion City and that guy stamping down the ground with Machoke has built something awesome.

Spoiler

He is still there in Gen II and has already evolved into a Machoke... and has yet to finish building the damn thing.

With the huge userbase on the 3DS in Japan this announcement will probably pertain to 3DS.

Maybe the idea was to announce it once 3DS hit 10M in Japan (it will most certainly have done this by the 8th).

But yeah, I'm trying to figure out a way that that would make any business sense lol.

Pokemon is a system seller. They can use it as an ace card, whenever they need, or bring it out when its ready. I think Gen 6 has been a long time coming.

 

[FreeMufasa]

I no new games ain't gonna happen but is it possible for red/blue/gold/silver/ruby/sapphire to ever make there way to iOS App Store? Real talk, I won't this so bad.

Last I heard its not owned by Nintendo but da Pokemon Company? N I assume Nintendo has a exclusive contracts.

As long as Nintendo is the majority stockholder for TPC, they can't really do anything unless Nintendo says it's okay.

No. Pokemon will NEVER be on the app store. EVER. It will never happen. Putting Pokemon on the app store is the equivalent of setting fire to a huge mountain of $100 bills. It would be the dumbest move ever made.

Sadly, this is true. Will never happen, as long as there are Nintendo handhelds. So, never.

 

[Cheesemeister]

Wooémon: Gotta Catch 'Em All!

 

[zroid]

Speaking of sequels, I would love it if the Gen VI region were adjacent to Hoenn and played out similarly to the Gen I/II games in terms of continuity. It would serve as a completely adequate alternative to actual Gen III remakes for me.

No, Battle Frontier had a tournament event in Emerald.

It's not the best move for GameFreak either. If it's on the app store and isn't cheap no one buys it, a game like Pokemon takes money to make and they'd be lucky to turn a profit. Look at MarioKart DS, it made more money than the ENTIRE app store did in a year. A year! That's accounting for shipping and manufacturing. Pokemon is the BIG seller so odds are it would tie that or make even more. It's throwing away money for everyone involved plain and simple.

Did you write this on your iPhone and what is wrong with your autocorrect?

Game Freak, Nintendo, Creatures, and TPCi saw $0 from Pokémon Red Version and Blue Version in 2012.

Now we're talkin. I thought Hoenn would be in BW back in the day..dat airport....

 

[MrCookiepants]

If we don't get a god damn Peacock Pokemon this gen I don't know what.

The potential.

Also, the fossils need to be a saber-toothed tiger and a T.Rex.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I hope it's a return to the classic artstyle

come at me bros

 

[Boss Doggie]

No, Battle Frontier had a tournament event in Emerald.

Huh, I missed that.

But then again it felt like just an arena without any audience.

Did you write this on your iPhone and what is wrong with your autocorrect?

It's FreeMufasa

 

[The Awesomest]

Huh, I missed that.

Oh, there was an audience all right. It got larger the further you progressed in the tournament.

 

[DR2K]

Is it not Jan 8th over there in future land?

 

[BuggyDClown]

If we don't get a god damn Peacock Pokemon this gen I don't know what.



The potential.

Also, the fossils need to be a saber-toothed tiger and a T.Rex.

Id love to see a influx of dino/extinct animals. Maybe finding a hidden cave/jungle area where they still exist. Instead of only getting a couple fossils each gen. The possibilities are enormous.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Is it not Jan 8th over there in future land?

It's only 5:50PM in Japan.

 

[Qurupeke]

Believe.

I really hope so.

 

[gosox333]

If this is what we're all hoping for, then Japan's gonna have full on Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter, and Pokemon releases all in the same year.

Can Japan survive?

 

[Mista Koo]

How is this different to what those games did, though? And what would be the benefit of it anyway?

Black and White had no Pokemon from previous games and no significant mentions of other regions until the post-game.

They still wouldn't totally reimagine Pokemon already there, they have to account for established Pokemon designs and types in the new ones.

As for benefits nothing, aside from shocking news (and lowered sales?).

If we don't get a god damn Peacock Pokemon this gen I don't know what.



The potential.

And make the shiny albino:

 

[polyh3dron]

So this is gonna be a Pokemon game for the Wii, right?

Not the Wii U, but the Wii.

Either that or an announcement of new trading cards or some shit.

 

[Tenki]

Pokepark 3.

 

[Boss Doggie]

And make the shiny albino:

Fuck yeah flying/fighting

 

[Box of Bunnies]

Well I've already got a nickname sorted if they ever do a peacock Pokemon.

 

[Sigismundo]

I can't see RBY/GSC/RSE ever making it to the App Store.

I did have a funny thought about RBY/GSC/RSE being put onto the eShop though.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

I can't see RBY/GSC/RSE ever making it to the App Store.

...the fuck is this?
App Store? What?
No. What? No!


What have you people been talking about for the last 10 pages?!

 

[spindashing]

My body is ready. I'm trying not to get so hyped but I can't help it.

 

[Qurupeke]

We need more Unown.

 

[fabfour64xx]

I'm so ready for Gen VI. Or disappointment. Either way, it'll be exciting!

 

[Afrocious]

And I bet one of the gen 6 starters will be fire/fighting too.

 

[one_kill]

New starters will be psychic, ghost, and dark.
MAKE IT SO!

 

[Qurupeke]

And I bet one of the gen 6 starters will be fire/fighting too.

No please. I'm tired of this... Blaziken was great. Infernape was okay. But another Fire/Fighting? Just no...

I personally want an interesting Grass starter. Like Grass/Rock or Grass/Steel. And offensive, not defensive. Sceptile was really cool and I want something like that. Probably a dinosaur or something. For the fire starter, I want a Fire/Electric or Fire/Dark. But the first won't probably happen. And the water starter needs to be Water/Poison. A frog or a platypus or both.

The best would be Grass/Fire, Fire/Water, Water/Grass.

 

[Murrah]

Gen 5 was the first time I didn't pick the fire starter and it cut me to my soul. Still waiting on my grass dragon too

 

[StreetsAhead]

About to get on a plane...won't have internet access for the next 14 hours. Naturally, this is the time when the announcement will come, urgh.

Am expecting it to be 1 or 2 new Pokemon with 'Check back for more info next month!'

Long damn flight! Where are you flying to? Maybe the flight will have a wifi option?
