Pokémon is close to 20 years old now, having been started in 1996 by Satoshi Tajiri, and the main series which began the franchise has changed only marginally overall. There are more Pokémon, more types, more characters and more ways to “Catch ’em All!”, but fundamentally each iteration has remained close to the formula introduced in Pokémon Red & Green.
This could change. We already know a new Pokémon project will be unveiled on August 26th, but fans have no idea what to expect. The print edition of Famitsu recently revealed, however, that this announcement is of a “very new development” for the series and described it as “earth-shattering” news. The image was shared by Japanese fan karubiimunomono.
We’re only days away, but this is our chance to discuss what could be coming to the Pokémon franchise and whether or not it will ever be the same again. Is it the start of a second main series? Is Pokémon re-tooling the core RPG? Will we finally get a Wii U game or a console addition to the main series? …or could it just be another spin-off title?

Maybe it doesn’t count, but Mario Kart 8 came out at the end of May this year.

I got out june 25th…..
DAYUMMMMM

well goodnight
tomorrow four days left
Dream of Ground Type Megas
IM STILL HERE >:D the party is not over
world domination is mine….Ok, I will learn Japanese words using my favorite Japanese anime songs. 😀
That is, after I’ve memorized both harigana and katakana.
Apparently there were two unreleased Mega Stone items in the code of X and Y. I’m not sure if you guys know about this, but they’re called the Mega Glove and the Mega Charm These are apparently Mega Stone customization options? I don’t know.
Source, please?
Mega Glove for Korrina and and Mega Charm for Diantha.
Maybe customization test items. 😮
ORAS PLEASE.
go on chat im making fun of people on club penguin
…That sounds just like something you would do xD
It’s all about that VMK. #Throwbacks
Troooo
I don’t think you know what that is.
It’s Korrina and Diantha’s key stones. The player character and the rival have the Mega Rings so I guess they’re just placeholders for the battle texts. “The opposing Gardevoir’s Gardevoirite is reacting to Diantha’s Mega Charm!”
Ohhh.
Thanks for clearing that up.
At least I think that’s what the text says
I love @TCMets:disqus. Just wanted to throw that out there.
Don’t we all? 🙂
Especially Jordin.
Mmmmmm Jordin.
That’s a love that will never be broken.
I wonder if an HD Pokémon game would have textures for the Pokémon’s model. They kind of touched on it in XY but what if Pikachu actually had fur?!
I just had a weird vision. Iris voice-actor plays Jill in a Pokemon / Drill Dozer crossover.
I got this one:
“What will absolutely not happen?”
I’m sure nobody expected Nobunaga’s Ambition x Pokemon coming. At least it’s two Game Freak franchises.
I found it unfair that Nobunaga had a black Rayquaza
Wow Xatu. You’re such a kid.
Go suck a popsicle
Go suck a lollipop.
Hey not fair, I gave you the bigger one.
Wait what
😉
OMG amazing i give 10/10 – IGN
I’m simultaneously excited and scared about this because I don’t to change too much if it’s a main series game with a twist. Though, I’m actually thinking it might be an announcement for a patch/expansion pack sort of thing for XY.
*explodes*
Sorry what did you say, I exploded for a second.
Have they (Gamefreak or whoever) mentioned DLC in the future before?
they said no XD
Just making sure. I thought they’d never do that anyway, DLC is really frustrating
they literally said no like that was there awnser no explantion just flat out NO!
I think they were referring to paid dlc, I don’t think they will ever do that. I was more referring free dlc, which technically, event Pokemon are.
They’ve brought it up before, however they said they didn’t plan on taking advantage of it. It is possible that they’ve changed their minds though.
Remember how every Pokémon in the BW2 animated trailers knew the move Protect (to protect their trainers and themselves) I think that should be a “5th move”, if you will.
It could be called the “Super Resort” or something equally corny. Activated at any time, but only after a certain number of battles.
No, I’m thinking something more akin to the (God-forsaken) anime. Like how the trainers are all like “DODGE THAT” But instead it’s a battle option called “Protect” that blocks a move but takes up a turn and doesn’t cost a moveslot.
Wow, that would be great actually. So many ideas from the anime need to come to the games, in all honesty. Including the insane number of towns.
I’m sorry but we don’t need biting explosions and explosive Water Gun
OMG WE REALLY NEED MOVE COMBINATIONS!!!!!!
Am i the only one who found it weird that Matt has a weird Lump on his the hand his clenching a fist with i know it may be a little out of a hand but could he have a mega stone XD the other hand clearly does have that weird lump… (rf)
Its his mom
his mom is his hand :O
Or he has a rare skin disease 🙁
seriously i dont know it just really weird in my opinion
GUys !!! I’m here, I’m here!! any one here?
Probably no one else is around… what’s up?
lmao! i figured, so what do you think this new game is about???
to me, it felt like it was 2012 all over again but for pokemon.
I wouldn’t know, since this is Troll Freak, but if they are overhaulting the battle system in Gen 7 (just like the leap from Gen 2->Gen 3) I would call that earth-shattering.
A new spinoff game, a spinoff game sequel or even Pokken Fighters, meh, not worth that adjective.
I just found this on Pokestache.com, but it’s probably fake.
Go to sleep.
Same to you, Cyrus.
I LOL’d at “Banned in 0 countries”.
Now banned in PokéjungleLand.
Or they could be announcing that the series is going to end after oras…
unless they make 4d or hd
Lost souls, kindly proceed to the new article.
Earth-shattering? Hmm…!
Maybe we, in the coming games after ORAS, will get to play in ALL the regions in the same game?
You know…, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova AND Kalos? 😉
And maybe we can choose in which region we want to start?
THAT would be cool!
Guys, I just had a thought. A couple of months ago a trademark for “Delta Emerald” was found right? What if they release Delta Emerald on the Wii U simultaneously with ORAS. It can have pretty much the same game with some extras, like Stadium/colluseum function etc, better graphics, and lots of bonus features!
I personally would love this! As many have said, why would they release something “earth-shatteringly “huge now since it’ll only get in the way of ORAS? Unless it’s to coincide with it somehow!
What’s the point of getting Oras if there will be a better version on the wii u that’s basically a mix of the two games. They would lose a lot of money. But good thought, though.
The same could be said for Smash Bros lol. The point is Nintendo are willing to do this. Plus less people own a Wii U, and Nintendo really need to be getting it out there.
Some people were talking about implementing stuff from the anime. We NEED to have an in game version of contest battles and combination moves that two pokemon can perform, perhaps exclusive to contest battling or throughout.
I would LOVE this. Always thought while growing up watching the anime that contest battles were much harder than gym battles.
……….. I still want a Pokemon Snap sequel that doesn’t railroad you so literally and has hundreds of Pokemon……………..
If it’s “earth-shattering” then I hope it’s virtual reality. That would be the best thing EVER!
They don’t have the tech yet for virtual reality for either console
I refuse to get my hopes up for anything as ‘earth-shattering’ as suggested. I just refuse. GF, Nintendo, Smash and Get TV have collectively trolled me too many times.
With everybody talking about a open world hd game, now I want one. I doubt it will be a mmo, but you can have friends come to your world. Maybe there is new battle mechanics, and looks like the Pokken fighters demo. MAYBE THERE CAN BE A TOURNAMENT FUNCTION ADDED :D. Also I like the idea of random weather and pokemon in the over world. Maybe there will be a new capture function with it, like using a big net for big pokemon.
