When are we getting Pokémon Dash 2?

by

pokemon-dash-scrnThe Nintendo DS was host to many Pokémon games in both the main series and spin-off titles. The first however was the oft-overlooked racer Pokémon Dash. It wasn’t a launch title for the console, but was released within six months of the DS’s debut. Players raced through courses as Pikachu, furiously swiping the stylus in the direction they wanted to. The game failed to impress gamers or the press (it holds a 46/100 on MetaCritic), but it is memorable for its release when the game selection on the Nintendo DS was still very limited.

So why do we need a sequel? Well, why not?! Another DS-era spin-off, Trozei, got a sequel on the 3DS and it would be a great chance for a game that could redeem the Dash brand. Racing is also a genre that Pokémon rarely dabbles in. The series has quite a few RPG, strategy and puzzle titles, but there have been no notable racing games. There are probably a lot of fans that want a Mario Kart-esque game that really shows the speed that some Pokémon possess.

Who would make good racers? There are a few Pokémon that instantly come to mind: Arcanine, Greninja, Pidgeot, Crobat, Electrode (roll your way to victory) and more. With over 700 Pokémon there’s so much variety and potential. Maybe not for Muk and Snorlax, but there are still a ton of speedy monsters in there.

Anyone else behind me on this?!

  1. So i had a realization
    If Walley in ORAS has a Mega Evolving Gallade maybe there’s hope for Giovanni having a Rhyperior since they never seen to question the existence of it having a branched evolution discovered in a different region (ironically they’re both found in Sinnoh)
    But i don’t expect it being in the initial quest most likely a post game kinda thing, but not really much a Delta Episode more of “You meet Giovanni and he wishes to show off his new found strength in the form of a battle with a updated team with a Mega Evolving Rhyperior” and after you beat him he gives you the mega stone
    Or if that doesn’t work we could always do a rehashed Sevii Island adventure

    my biggest fear is that they give him a Mega Kangaskhan or one of the Nidos since they appear more then his signature Rhydon
    (and one last note i’ve noticed his Pokemon share a lot of physical characteristics such as bulky bipedal mammalians with reptilian features)

    • I said that months ago. Rhyperior is his signature pokemon, or at the time it was Rhydon. And it appears in the Kalos War image, which contains a lot of Pokemon that have received megas. It also means Cyrus has a chance to get Mega Weavile and Ghetsis to get Mega Hydreigon if we got remakes of both of those games.

      • When I saw the idea of Mega Rhyperior and Mega Gallade, my first thought was a Mega Magmortar to finish the trio of Pokemon controlled by Ice, Lavana, and Heath from Shadows of Almia. I’d love to see a Ranger game that combines all the previous regions like they’re doing with Mystery Dungeon (Or at least bring back old characters like the trio).

      • These are actually some really good points Defensive. Tbh I didn’t realize that Rhydon was Giovanni’s signature Pokemon, I thought it was Nidoking and Persian, lol jk. But he did have one. I’m still hoping for Drapion Togekiss Cincinno to get megas. Many more as well. Tbch tho, Wallace’s signature was Milotic and in Emerald he becomes the champion and he was important in Ruby/sapphire, yet he never got a mega for Milotic. Also Alraune (I think his name is) was a new character introduced in ORAS and has only a flygon which was a great opportunity to give flygon a mega, yet he didn’t get one either. So idk about Giovanni but imo I think every gym leader and elite four leader should have a mega sorta like they did for E4 in ORAS. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think they only did this post game. So maybe in the future they introduce something like rematches in HGSS at that dojo in Saffron where you find the character and can battle them, maybe they will have a mega of their signature Pokemon.

        • They said that they experienced writer’s block with Mega Flygon and my theory is that Milotic got pushed out of the way for Altaria as the contest Mega poster child (But still they make it a damn fairy….)
          but this timeline is not emerald, but this one is where Mega Evolution exists

  5. For people who are waiting for the next Pokemon and have a computer that isn’t a toaster; May I recommend Pokemon Super Eevee Edition? It’s a Pokemon game that mixes Pokemon gameplay with Final Fantasy and it’s really good.

    • Lol this sounds awesome. I’ve never played an FF game tho I want to but I would love a fire emblem style game lol cuz I love FE. I mean conquest is similar but at the same time it’s really not. Oh and FE gba games, gc game, or wifi game, not ds/3ds please, obviously the game would be like 3ds but I prefer older FE games. And who wouldn’t want to go back to sprites?

  9. Masuda is apparently making an appearance on some Japanese children’s show on November 15th. He’s sometimes revealed things on this show. It’s happening…next month!

    • I was just about to say something about this. lol It could mean nothing, but u have to assume that with all the merchandise for XY&Z and then Tretta Ultimate Z there’s’ something big coming right? I saw someone somewhere theorize that next week b4 XY&Z they announce the games and then in CoroCoro they show screen shots and then finally Masuda will show an official trailer on that show. I for one wouldn’t b oppose to that timeline. I just need something……..all this teasing and they’ve shown us nothing concrete……I’m getting tired hahaha

      • It’s going to mean something. I promise you. Whether or not he announces the game himself or simply talks about it, it’s going to happen before November 15th. GET HYPED!

      • Same dude. I’m kinda getting impatient. Its to the point now where I could care less when the game is released, I just want an announcement; something to get my mind of ORAS and unto the next game. Thought I knew what their game release pattern was, but I don’t even know anymore after what has transpired these last few months haha.

      • There’s no way of telling at this point. Nintendo hasn’t given a solid answer as to when they’re gonna start doing them again as I recall.
