…possibly.
Is the title clickbait? Yes, but there are very good indications that this year’s Pokémon World Championships in Boston, Massachusetts could be the location the next Pokémon game is announced. We already know that Junichi Masuda will be there for one the most important events of the year, and will also be attending the Pokémon Symphony the following day, but there are other clues as well. Six years ago the Championships were stage to another game announcement, SoulSilver and HeartGold. We’ve also already seen some new Pokémon from next year’s film which are currently game-less.
These three facts aren’t any sort of solid confirmation, but they do lend themselves towards one whopper of a conclusion: there’s a new game coming and we’re going to find out about it soon. The World Championships are being held August 21 – 23, meaning an announcement could be just three days away!
What do you think!?

PS- Also I believe the spyglass in the 2015 Worlds logo means Pikachu is looking towards the future game and if you add the handles on the wheel there are 10 and the number of Pokémon is 8 and the next lowest even number is 6! GENERATION 6!! Also it is my hypothesis that the Illuminati are involved.
I find it interesting that they revealed Yo-kai Watch’s release date two days before the World Championships. Could it be because the press keeps calling it “new Pokemon” and they don’t want them to get it and Pokemon Z confused? Very interesting…
Ooh! I’m pumped! I seriously would love to see the announcement of a new game! I’m glad that GameFreak took a break (2014-2015), but I feel that 2016 is most likely a release date of a new game. It would be about two years between OR/AS and this next title. Plus, we were bound to get another Pokemon Game due to Volcanion, the Battle Frontier, and this new Zygarde Forme/Mega Evolution.
If it’s announced during the Opening Ceremony, it will most likely be releasing in early 2016 (around March/April) like Black/White did. What do you think the chances are of the new game announcement? I’m sure we’ll get something, but I don’t know if that’s what it will be. Everyone and their mother is expecting it now!
I think it would b funny if they didn’t do a hard announcement. Like they just basically start releasing info on the new game, but never come right out with it that it is in fact a new game lol
I’m going to be broke. Fire Emblem Fates, Bravely Second, and a potential Pokemon Game. Man, Nintendo is just burning my wallet.
I still have to play Fire Emblem Awakening! I should have bought it last year, but it was sold out when I was intending to purchase. Ah well, it will happen at some point.
only 2 of those are true
I agree
Volcanion is just a myth
I can’t believe I hadn’t realized this before. The 2016 Pokemon movie with Mega/Primal Zygarde and Blobgarde comes out next summer. Even with Zorua/Zoroark and their respective movie, the games came out just a couple months later. Unless it’s going to be a Munchlax situation, we can expect the game or games to come out in the spring/summer/late summer. Set your phasers to fun, because this could be an interesting weekend.

So Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is releasing with a bunch of postcards in its amazon japan bundle featuring artwork of characters and locations from in-game… the last post card is a secret though, for some weird reason. Speculations?
It could be that Super mystery dungeon will have references to new megas like Blobgarde and Shadowgarde. There are a few pictures of new merchandise floating around where one item is a secret. It’s also worth pointing out that Munchlax and Bonsly were present in XD (although they were unobtainable), and there were statues of Munchlax, Lucario, Bonsly, Weavile and Mime Jr in the original Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, both of which came out before Diamond and Pearl, so there is a precedent
I think the last post card being of the antagonist is unlikely because the games usually have a “secret” antagonist and revealing it in a post card bundled with the game would be quite anti-climatic. However most of the games have secondary antagonists that pose as friendly creatures from the beginning like Dusknoir or Munna, so it could be Blobgarde.
