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. ok ive been encountering trevenant horde after trevenant horde in hopes of finding a shiny for… I don’t remember who. I decided to look while I grind, but I haven’t stopped since it started, and Grenoichi was lv. 36, now shes 83. this has been going on forever and I think foongus is officially my least favorite pokemon of all time.

      • Wonderlocke is basically the same as nuzlocke, you can only catch one pokemon per area, and if it faints you can’t use it anymore, but in wonderlocke every pokemon you get has to be wonder traded

        • huh that’s cool maybe I should try that on y version…. I think I might! how do I start the game? just trade away froakie? is there any specific rules I have to follow?

          • Yeah you can only wonder trade when you have two pokemon, so once you catch your first pokemon wonder trade both the one you just caught and your starter, and go from there 🙂

          • how often do I have to wonder trade? can I just get a teanm of six scatterbugs and just trade them all from the start? what if im like really really lucky and end up with like yveltal?

          • You only wondertrade the pokemon you’ve caught, and I think if you get a duplicate you’re allowed to trade again.

            He has all of the rules written in his description 🙂
            Edit: your only allowed to catch the first pokemon you see on each route, and if it faints you have to wait till the next route to catch a pokemon

  4. Pokemon X & Y makes math class so much easier. At the moment, our class is plotting linear equations and thinking of Xerneas for the X-axis/Yveltal for the Y-axis makes things so much easier. Xerneas = land (x) Yveltal = sky (y)

  5. For anyone interested, they are airing The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy on Cartoon Network now. Those were the glory days…

      • I just love it when they air older shows because (opinion) those were the best. Now it’s people talking back to each other and insulting each other. Disney actually says more mature words now. I heard one once and I was like “Is this Disney nowadays!?” Next thing you know they’ll be dropping the F-bomb.

        • I remember once when they aired the first series of Beyblade after ages (forgot what channel it was)….i was so excited, i watched it religiously…

        • Yeah they were the best. And what “more mature words” on Disney? I’m not doubting you, I’m just too tired to remember.

          Reply
          • I never heard “puberty” or other words that I can’t remember right now on Disney ever before. There’s tons of sexual innuendos, etc. It’s just not the same as before.
