New Pikachu Spin-Off Announced

NHK has finished airing and revealed a mysterious new Pokémon game, starring Dr Watso Pikachu! This spin-off seems to be some creepy detective game. Not much is known, except that it will feature a Blue Pikachu that apparently can talk (must be due to Fukushima) and who is the villain. The developers used motion capture to give Pikachu better facial expressions, but I have no idea where they got the Pikachu to do that from. More details will likely be released in the following months/years.

Also mentioned was a Pokémon Trozei (Link) sequel, but it appears to be abandoned, or maybe it will see life as an eShop only title. Stay tuned for that too!

 

OLD: The teaser trailer released last week and has teased an all new game with Tsunekazu Ishihara appearing on the show sharing some details on the game that is currently in development. We’ll provide details ASAP!

  1. Good nature, and EV spread for a Starmie or Tentacruel that i want to use for Rapid Spin support. (don’t want to use Excadrill, too common already).

        • eh it really depends on what you want. its easiest to try and look for a pokemon you can find in hordes(I recommend not looking for seviper in x and zangoose in y, go the opposite, zangoose in x and seviper in y) of search a friend safari for what you want repeatedly until its shiny. of you can find a pokemon to fish for and consecutive fish for it. theres lots of options really

          • its in my opinion the easiest way to find shinies. ive found 4 in one day thanks to this trick. anyways, you just fish repeatedly whithout missing a bit (looks like nothing’s biting… no! you pulled too late! no! you pulled to early!) the more you fish in the SAME SPOT without encountering those messages, the higher and higher your chain goes, and the higher your chances for a shiny are.

          • tips: it doesn’t need to be the same pokemon over and over, and you can run! you don’t have to defeat it! also, with a pokemon with the suction cups as an ability at the head of the party, even if its fainted, will increase the odds of actually fishing something up exponentially. and be patient! it usually takes me an hour, hour and a half to find one, it does take time!

  2. i think my physical greninja wont have an item because of acrobatics, but i want to try out air balloon, cell battery, or weakness policy (i dont think he will be defencive enough to try weakness policy).

  3. Guys, regargind the event legendaries, a thing interesting to note is that while Volcanion and Hoopa have supposed catch rates of 3, the normal for Mythical Pokémon, Diancie’s catch rate is 30, meaning they aren’t a trio, it that Serebii image is legit. I heard the catch rate of 30 is the common for mascots, but only Dialga and Palkia actually have this rate. Anyway, per that image going around, Diancie has the necessary type to fit into the messenger squirell, as Zygarde resists Rock and is weak to Fairy.

    Furthermore, “Diancie” is spelt with seven Roman letters, just like Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde, and, while I would like for Pokémon Z to be paired with W, “D” is the first letter in “dimension”, so, Pokémon Z and D coming, or just Pokémon D with no Z.

    Quick design guess: A squirell that touches its tail on its head forming a “D”, more visible when it is on vertical, like, climbing a tree.

    Alternatively, there’s a theory I found on vp. Look at the picture:
