Today is the day The Pokémon Company announces its surprising new Pokémon Project, in partnership with Famitsu. The publication has previously announced that the new announcement is “earth shattering”. Our long-lost translator Kriffix is back and translated the whole snippet:

Each Pokémon game has brought us excitement and has moved us. This Summer, Pokémon Games will undergo a ‘super’ new-development* (direction, evolution etc). A Nico Live Show to be broadcast on the below date will provide you with information on an earth-shattering new project (!). Special guests include: President Ishihara & ‘???’ & ‘???’ (two yet-to-be announced guests). …Listen, for your own good. You MUST check this out!
2014.08.26″

Below we’ll be covering the announcement live as President and CEO of the Pokémon Company Tsunekazu Ishihara appears in the broadcast on niconico accompanied by special guests Nobuhiko Okamoto & Aoi Yuuki.

  1. Let’s see how this turns out. If it’s not game-related then the Famitsu teaser was VERY misleading in mentioning games.
    Personal hope: Delta Emerald for Wii U! COME ON! Will settle for colosseum remake though…

  2. Earthen’s Prediction List
    Pokken Fighters (most anticipated)
    Wii U Battle Revolution (or Stadium in layman’s terms)
    I really hope not for that Pikachu Detective thing it just seems like a waste
    maybe like Pokemon ZX & ZY (but seeing how ORAS is still in the works…)
    Maybe a new Mystery Dungeon?
    That’s all i got

      • Imagine that tho ‘real life Pokemon, be the trainer you’ve always wanted to be’
        I guess something along the lines of AR would be the closest thing (I think I’m talking about the right thing…)

  3. Voice acting in games.
    Hd gaming.
    WiiU support : 3 games in development.

    New story game (similar to XD and Colosseum) with stadium 3 side game, Snap U and Pokken Fighters.

  4. Also this will be on Nico Nico, which means that you’ll eventually get kicked out if you don’t have premium. We’ll try to provide a premium re-stream if such one exists.

  5. Sigh, back from school on my first day, my best friend isn’t in my class, my friend that I don’t want to be my friend is sitting next to me and he hasn’t brought in my knife, my youtube video is going terrible, and there’s no more pasta. Sooo…. Regular day then. Oh yes, I joined tumblr.

  6. I would love to see a remake of the old Colosseum games or Delta Emerald for Wii U. Even though its unlikely, I would personally love to see a remake of the old games for the Wii U.

  7. Spoiler, the game will be entitled Luvdisc Luvdics.

    It’s about a luvdisc that is an adult film star that struggles to standout among the many stars, literally. Your rival is a Starmie and staryu mother-daughter team that has taken the ocean by drainstorm, can you overcome the tides so the pokemon world is surfing for your name?

    On your quest you meet Hopunny the Lopunny that teaches your how to role play, fake tears, and pound the competition. Until one day she is captured by a trainer and forced to mega evolve and join the spice girls as an ugly sweatpants-wearing tomboy.

    Can you save her?

  8. Since it’s not everyday that we prepare for some Pokemon news on a Nico Nico Stream, here’s some tips.

    Q1.)Where’s the stream?
    A1.)http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv189764569

    beware, you need an account to watch it. You can make an account in English, but not having premium status means you will likely be kicked out.

    Q2.)So are we doomed?
    A2.)There will probably be mirror streams provided not only within Nico Nico but outside of it(like Ustream, youtube, etc). Stay tuned for a link. You can also just read our live coverage.

  9. I feel like we should support Daniel aka ZephyrSonic and use his stream. He’s done a lot for us, we should repay him by supporting him.

  10. Guys, think of this as CoroCoro revealing information before the other places in the world decide to update. Although on a bigger scale, the announcement is still tied to the one Japanese magazine.

  13. Sickened its an arcade game. It was the best chance they had at Pokemon in HD on wiiU.

    Earth shattering ? No
    Japan maybe rumbled but just them.

    Very very disappointed 🙁

  14. If this comes to the USA (eventually), is it possible that this could be the first Pokemon game that can be bought for PS4 as well? Because Namco games aren’t really strictly Nintendo based
