I'd honestly like to see instead of two versions on the 3DS, make one version on the Wii U and the other on the 3DS for crossplay. That way they can get more people into console Pokemon and there will be more options.

 

[Nasley]

........Pokemon Direct?!

YES

 

[Gorilla Shark]

My prediction is Gen 6 for the 3DS...

But if they were smart it would be a new Pokemon game for the Wii U that made you buy the Pokemon like Skylanders.

Would be printing money...

 

[Exterminieren]

A new Pokemon 3DS game is not exciting for me, so I'll continue believing something else XD

I'd prefer a cross-platform (as Smash) 3DS-WiiU proper Stadium game with WW release for Spring 13

A Stadium game excites you more than a new mainline generation?

I can't

 

[UltimateIke]

Gen VI announcement for 3DS. Anything else is irrelevant.

Pretty much how I feel at the moment.

 

[Escape Goat]

My Pokemans, let me show you them.

Innerestin'. I never considered such a scenario. Hmmmmm.

pokemon yellow on 3ds virtual console

 

[DSN2K]

be hilarious if it was iOS

 

[snack]

be hilarious if it was iOS

I want this.

It'd be the best selling game of 2013 on the AppStore.

 

[fierrotlepou]

Pokemon collection of all the pokemon games ever released on iOS. BELIEVE

 

[Kouriozan]

be hilarious if it was iOS

If you want to crash the web, sure.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

Pokemon direct? Well that's a first.

 

[Ezalc]

As long as there is an outfittable Elesa.

She'd better be back to being blonde this time.

 

[Salaadin]

So this is really turning out to be something? Ive been ignoring the other thread so I dont get hyped and then I see this.

Im on board. Lets do this!

 

[Kokonoe]

If they announced Pokemon Stadium 3(an actual stadium 3) with support for all DS games on Wii U, then that would actually excite me more than a new version. HD Pokemon here we go.

 

[Exterminieren]

Anyone who's seriously suggesting an iOS instalment, particularly one revealed in a Nintendo Direct of all things, is seriously ignorant of the franchise and how it's run.

Functionally speaking, you may as well plead for a Mario iOS announcement.

 

[Aostia]

Pokemon direct? Well that's a first.

imagine how glorious will be our incoming Smash Directs...

 

[User 73706]

Best-case scenario: hard "reboot" of the franchise's merchandise philosophy, core mechanics and BW2's philosophy remain intact. Two mainline games, Pokemon Primary being on the Wii U. Pokemon Secondary is for 3DS. Names reflect this and one is subsidiary or commensal as opposed to the mirrored philosophy of the past. TCG also receives a substantial reboot allowing AR codes to be used to find/earn Pokemon on either version, with an overall streamlined "Generation VI Suite" spearheading the experience just in time to get fans on board before the Xbox 420 and PS4.

Worst-case scenario: "EXTREMESPEED GENESECT. HERE'S THE FIRST EXCLUSIVE 10 MINUTES OF POKEMON 26: GENESECT AND THE BAD ENOUGH DUDES COMING TO DVD"

 

[BGBW]

They're going to replace the Smash Dojo with Smash Direct where we'll wait months for an update and it'll just be "You must recover".

 

[Neoriceisgood]

imagine how glorious will be our incoming Smash Directs...

Nghkh!~<3 I'd die.

 

[Kokonoe]

Nghkh!~<3 I'd die.

I have never seen that sound before!

 

[Coldnoodle]

Japan time Smash Directs :lol

 

[ffdgh]

Cloud confirmed then the internet dies.

 

[BGBW]

Japan time Smash Directs :lol

The next video will be in three months (Japan Time).

You seem to be malfunctioning, because that is not a best-case scenario.

 

[BGBW]

You seem to me malfunctioning, because that is not a best-case scenario.

Maybe he has big pockets which is how he can fit the Wii U plus the GamePad in one.

 

[Meatvillain]

Oh fuck, I just went and found myself hoping for a full-blown WU Pokemon RPG, why the fuck did I do that to myself?

Oh god this better be worth it

All of my feels

 

[Tenki]

Gen VI for 3DS and Pokémon Snap U for Wii U. You heard it here first!

 

[Neoriceisgood]

Oh fuck, I just went and found myself hoping for a full-blown WU Pokemon RPG, why the fuck did I do that to myself?

I don't know, seems unhealthy.

 

[LOCK]

Pokemon Gen 6 for 3DS + Wii U Pokedex app or Colosseum game that will sync with your 3DS games, collect cards and announces exclusive figurines that will use the NFC chip.

Mass hysteria pursues.

 

[Kokonoe]

Upgrade to a messenger bag or purse, one with a built in power supply.

It'll be a brief mention that Pokémon is coming and then the rest is about NSMBU DLC.

 

[Sadist]

"W-w-wait! Wha-what is this?

It has a fluffy tail and it seems to be a starter Pokémon?

Do you like fluffy tailed starters?"

/Sakurai

It would be great if Iwata spoke like the Smash Dojo.

 

[Wiz]

I expect to wake up tomorrow morning to amazing news. Don't let me down Iwata.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Why would they split versions between console/handheld anyway? Kids aren't exactly able to lug their Wii U around and trade on the go during recess. If they were doing a console game, it'd be its own thing, maybe.

 

[UltimateIke]

It is named a "Pokémon Direct." It isn't going to have anything to do with Mario.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Pokemon stages DLC!

...

Oh god please don't be like that D:

 

[Meatvillain]

I don't know, seems unhealthy.

Indeed.

 

[Oersted]

Like others already said, the blue logos are normally for Wii U directs...

I have never seen that sound before!

The magic of Smash Directs already at work^^

 

[fabfour64xx]

My body is ready for 3D.

I've given it some thought and I agree. However I expect a 3DS gen VI and a Wii U Colosseum announcement with obviously both games working together.

 

[kiri]

Why do I feel there will be multiple titles being shown?

- Black 3/White 3
- eShop based Card-game
- Snap for Wii U
- WILD CARD (Melotta's Recital blahblahblah something Rocket-dan)


Pure speculation, natch

 

[Ragus]

I'm hyped.

And scared.

And hyped.

And scared.

One thing is for sure - this will be an epic thread.

 

[Jinko]

Multiplayer RPG for Wii-U, come on Nintendo put some F'ing effort into a pokemon game for once.

 

[Neiteio]

*Iwata walks onscreen*

*Iwata spends 10 minutes talking about franchise figures to date*

*Iwata cryptically says, "Amazing things are coming in 2013."*

*Iwata gives the audience a flirty winky and disappears in a cloud of Woobats*

 

[massoluk]

About time they announce crossplatform Pokemon Snap for 3DS and Wii U.

Mario iOS confirmed!
