I also think it is better to make this sequel than to make a complete new generation, because actually, every game has the same ‘layout’ and i’m getting sick of all these new, extremely uncreative new pokemon. To make a fourth game after BW would also be a nice idea, because if the story is good enough, it won’t be boring and the same.

Also I really hope they’re making a remake of ruby and sapphire soon, because I really LOVE that generation! I’m now playing sapphire nuzlocke style and the awesomeness is beyond reality.

Well when you bring up that the games have ROM based set-ups, you need to understand that there are “hidden” functions in the games. They program some parts of the game to only work when, a.You have a specific pokémon, b.You have a specific item, or c.When a flag is set, prompting it to work. It’s because of this that stuff like Team Plasma’s liberation speech only happens once. It’s also because of this, that you can walk past a point and nothing may happen, but you can walk past the same point again with a new item and be greeted by someone, or be taken somewhere new. i.e., The Old Sea Map in Emerald gave access to Mew on Faraway Island. It was a download that added to the storyline, but Faraway Island wasn’t “new”, it was just inaccessible until you had this item. So they can distribute the God Stone via wi-fi and have an add-on to the storyline, but I do doubt they could have a new forme of Kyurem either way because if so hackers who cheated to finish the pokédex would have seen it already, because as you said, it is Read-only-memory. I think the god stone is either incorporated in Gray, or a way to obtain the other dragon in ur game, ex. getting reshiram in white or zekrom in black

Ok I just want to point out they use flags to run memory in pokémon games. Sometimes the flags only work in reaction to the presence of an item, so it isn’t technically adding new data to the game, just like the Old Sea Map in Emerald. Faraway Island wasn’t a new map, it was just inaccessible until you had the item. They could make the story go much further with built in scripts like that. If you take a Meloetta to the café in Castelia you can teach it a new move; but that’s not new programming that’s just an event that only works when you have that pokémon

yeah im just glad it wasnt true. this game seems like it actually has some potential to be an actual sequel and not just a remake. i think it’ll be like pokemon mystery dungeon sky where, after you beat the game, you play a new story. hopefully you get to play as young n and present time n. and then afterwards they can go back to your characters story to figure out the story of kyurem and figure out what getis does next.

Yeah I think we all knew that it was just a translation error xD

That’s why I even posted the news with ‘Doubtful’ in the title :p

Well when the DS came out, Game Freak worked heavily with it, too, but didn’t release Diamond and Pearl for a little while. The first thing they released on it was a Rescue Team game. Actually, I think it was Dash. Either way, just because they’re working with new software does not, by any means, mean they’ll be ready to release a main series game on it any time soon.
