  1. Think what you want. Just dound it.

    According to an anonymous source who’s apparently successfully leaked Pokémon-related news in the past, the big Pokémon news being revealed tomorrow, via a short Nintendo Direct broadcast, will focus on two new projects – an original game for Nintendo 3DS and an application for Wii U.

    The source claims that ‘Pokémon Rainbow’ is in the works for Nintendo 3DS. The unconfirmed game will supposedly encompass the settings and Pokémon creatures from generations one to four. The source also claims that a Wii U application featuring a globe with five Pokémon – Pikachu, Munna Treeko, Cyndaquil and Piplup – on its logo will be introduced.

    This is what the anonymous source wrote in its entirety:

    The announcement is, more or less, a love letter to the franchise. It’s being called Pokemon Rainbow, a 3DS game that encompasses the settings and Pokemon from generations 1-4: Red and Blue, Gold and Silver, Ruby and Sapphire, and Diamond and Pearl. You can take my word for it that the graphics are done up very nicely. The perspective is similar to what you’d expect from Pokemon games, but the camera is much more dynamic. The graphical style is characterized by very clean, dark lines. Almost cartoonish, but not quite. Battles look radically different, and move away from the use of pixel art. Though it seems that the interface is still made of pixels. The battle that it shown is between a totally new trainer and a wild Weedle. The trainer uses a Pikachu.

    I’m not privy to any story details, as I only know what will be announced tomorrow. The story is concurrent with Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 in terms of timeline. There are over 20 new Pokemon, and two will be revealed tomorrow. One is an evolution of an older Pokemon Eevee, called Draconeon. The other is a totally new Pokemon, called Verbill. It looks like a rodent, much like the Pokemon Patrat, but has a sort of pirate theme going on.

    A Wii U app will be launched along with the game, which will be announced tomorrow. However, all that will be said is that the app will be addressed “at a later date”. The logo for the app features a globe with Pikachu, Munna, Treeko, Cyndaquil, and Piplup popping out from various countries.

  2. Hey everyone I am a window cleaner from NoA and I saw the Nintendo Direct plans (whoops!) and turns out the new games are Pokemon Ebony and Ivory for Wii U. They are just amped up versions of the DS games. 100+ new Pokemon. New Eeveelution is rock type seems to be based off of a rock of some sort. The new starters are a grass reptile, a fire Chinese zodiac animal, and a water half-land-half-water creature.

      • never mind I just googled it and I was able to see it. oh god I hope they’re not implying that they’ve tried to create real Pokemon. that was my dream as a kid but I wouldn’t like it if it’s not natural. someone yesterday also commented on here that they had created a porygon. kind of trippy!

  3. To propose an idea I haven’t seen before: Kyruem’s 4th form, the original dragon.

    It won’t be available in-game until…something else. RSE remake? B/W3? Grey(/Gray)? Whatever. Just an idea, much like a new Pokémon, but at the same time it isn’t.
