Why would you ignore the two best Pokemon games made and keep playing a remake of the second worst?

Because opinions.

Anyway, remember when we got hyped up about Black and White 2 and thought it would be the 3D version we were hoping for? Setting my phasers to "low expectations" for this one.

Cel-shaded Pokemon RPG for the Wii U with 3D worlds and featuring the first two gens of Pokemon! Gen 3-5 are dlc.

I hope this really is when they ditch sprites for good and never look back.

And it's a new mainline Pokemon game, not some Mystery Dungeon shit or a RSE remake.

Who thought this? They were crazy if they ever expected that.

You mean you believe there's a chance this game will be BW3 for the DS? I mean, the last time Nintendo did an international announcement at this level was for Gen 5.

I dunno man, it's just that Pokemon announcements have let me down so many times I can't bring myself to think this will be any different. There's a high chance this will be the Pokemon 3D we've been waiting for, but I'll have to see it to believe it.

The 3DS in the West needs a Pokemon game A$AP. Animal Crossing 3Ds should start some momentum, and hopefully something big like this carries it later, with whatever is shown at e3 maybe.

GUYS IT'S PROBABLY A POKEMON MMO GUYS IT HAS TO BE GUYS

Oh, wait, I forgot, that's never, ever, ever going to happen in a hundred zillion years.

Not to mention it goes against the overall theme of Pokemon and nintendos kid friendly philosophy.

Is it reasonable to expect the pokemon wii U game, launching alongside an nfc enabled toy line theory as even feasible? It makes a lot of sense, which is why I'm hesitant to put any stock in it.

Except Nintendo wants people who don't hate themselves and all other human beings to play this game.

While hilarious, Pokemon could fit that genre pretty smoothly. Lots of characters, 4 attacks each (let players customize of course), leveling up, hell you could evolve during the match maybe. Would be so cool.

I'd still love an 3d action rpg pokemon, when in battle you control the pokemons movement and A/B/X/Y are each mapped to a separate attack with individual cooldowns.

a man can dream

edit: Or, hell, you don't even need to control the actual pokemon, but maybe A/b/x/y makes you shout that move at your pokemon and he will run around and do his best to battle, following your commands.

GODDAMIT THERES SO MUCH POTENTIAL WHY DOESNT NINTENDO DO STUFF

Gen 6 incoming! I can almost see it:

Pokemon "Water & Fire"
One version for the 3DS one for Wii U

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate - type connectivity and save transferring

Christmas 2013 in Nippon, Spring 2014 in the West.
 
a major pokemon announcement from noa?
not very likely is it?
i would expect something big like a real 3ds pokemon to be announced by noj

I've said for years they won't start on the 3DS with anything but a new generation. No artificially extending Gen V, no Hoenn remakes/sequels. I'm sticking to that!

Browser game where you collect pokemon figures.
The Pokémon Dream World thingy has lotsa pkmn dolls you can collect!

A pokemon MMO has been done before. And by that, I mean fans made a FireRed ROM into a MMO client, so you can play the game as if it was a MMO. Needless to say, the formula doesn't translate well, and the adjustments needed to make the game interesting would remove a lot of what makes pokemon attractive to the main public. It's actually interesting how the formula is not easily adaptable into a MMO, despite how well the theory in paper may sound.

If anything, Nintendo will keep pushing smaller co-op games like entralink in the main games.

My Pokedollars are on a Pokemon Gen 3 remake for
3
DS.

As much as I would love a Gen III remake, let's be real: Gen VI would need to come before the remakes to not make a tricky case where a Gen V game is stuck on a platform that isn't its gen's native one and on the same as the next generation.
 
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. :p

Mainline 3DS title with completely revamped visuals and bunch of StreetPass/online stuff

The world is not ready

Every street pass encounter inserts a wild copy of one of the other user's pokemon into a special area in the game. Walk around in that area to encounter it, battle it, and catch it.

Spot pass does the same thing, but will include rare pokermans.

Every pokemon will be catchable without having to resort to voodoo, hunting down special events, owning multiple versions, etc.

Believe.

As crazy as fan ideas for games typically sound, anybody could come up with a more interesting idea for the direction than game freak.

Oh my god, I did not even realize it would have StreetPass functionality.

The most addictive Nintendo franchise + the most addictive part of having a 3DS =

this won't happen, but your idea about using StreetPass to insert wild Pokes into other people's games would be a cool (and plausible) way to give/get version exclusive species.

A full fledged Pokemon title would make me pick up the Wii U

It should at least be a 3rd gen remake or the 6th gen proper on 3DS

gen V remake of gen III games

2 shows up 3 times, gen 3 remakes

But if you add 2 + 0 + 2 + 2 you get 6. Maybe Gen 6 is actually Gen 3 remakes with a secret new region at the end with all new pokemon.
And also includes a mode to play remakes of FR/LG
