RUMOR: Nintendo NX to get Pokémon Game in First 6 Months

The Wii U wasn’t the best console for Pokémon fans, save for the two stand out titles Pokkén Tournament and Super Smash Bros., but things may be improving console-wise with the launch of the Nintendo NX. Due to be released early next year, the new console is rumored to have a brand new Pokémon game in its library within six months of its launch.

MCV reports that this game will be developed by Game Freak, which is the studio responsible for primarily the handheld main series. This leaves speculation whether it will be a spin-off title or a more traditional adventure akin to those that have populated Nintendo handhelds for the last 20 years. Another possibility is an HD version of the upcoming Nintendo 3DS titles Pokémon Sun & Moon.

Can’t wait to hear more!

    • There not actually. For right know, we seem to know the names of the main four, excluding the man-made island; which are Melemele, Akala, Ula Ula, and Poni.

    • There were more than 4 orange islands.

      If it turns out Alola is actually an archipelago with many small islands I will be immensely happy, but I doubt it will exceed more than about 6-8 islands. We know of at least 5, but I’m convinced there’s at least 6 or 7.

        • As I’ve been saying for quite literally a year
          Ash’s Greninja was predestined for greatness, foreseen by Olympia
          And it has come to my attention that this Greninja is/maybe linked to the legendary ninja hero’s Greninja, ergo we have two schools of theory

          The Synchronology Effect: Where the Legendary Greninja also displayed this phenomenon and achieved a form that resembles the trainer who has raised their bond to the maximum, therefore Ash’s Greninja is either the ancestor of this Greninja and would be able to achieve this power

          The Genetic Reincarnation: Where in fact that Ash’s Greninja itself is not mimicking Ash’s Appearance, but the Ninja Hero, that the Ninja Hero was himself very similar to Ash’s appearance and that was the mold that all these unique Greninja share

    • well maybe they think they spoiled us too much the past couple months/weeks so they release nothing much..

  2. Do you guys think Lurantis will be female only, or that there will be a male version too? They seem to based on the Orchid Mantis and from what I can see only the females are pink, the males are brown and white.

    I really want to have a male one though.

    • I don’t think that’s going to happen, after all they don’t change any of the birds and in nature make birds are usually more vibrant than the females, besides, brown would be boring, I love the pink

          • Didn’t know if you were. You said “they don’t change any of the birds.” Lol We have a lot of gender differences, although most are small. But jellicent, unfezant, and pyroar are all major changes.

          • yeah ok, Pyroar is a nessecary gender variant because thats how lions are, but I honestly hope that gender differences severely cut down, imo jellicent could have been just pink as the blue one is boring, unfezant is fine as both forms are cool and serve a purpose I suppose, but gender diffences for the sake of it I find pointless, and taking a really cool pokemon like Lurantis and making half of them drab and boring would be awful, if they wanted to give them a gender difference and make one pink and the other like purple or green or something, cool, thats fine, but brown, no

          • Well pyroar is necessary for the same reason the original commenter said lurantis would be welcomed as they are both found in nature. Same with unfezant. Jellicent looks to just be a fun gimmick.

          • yeah and I changed my view on it, it would be fine, just as long as it stayed true to its bright colour, but its fine, I accept that I was in the wrong with my original comment, I just ugh, please god have it be a pretty colour like purple or something otherwise no one will use it

          • I really hope they let males be pink as well (because as I said, I would love to have one on my team), and that it’s not a female exclusive Pokemon, but I was mostly wondering if Gamefreak would take the real life version into account. And I’m sorry if I were a bit unclear in my comment, but I would be quite sad if the male was a dull colour, like brown.

          • no its not your fault I just saw brown and panicked because its so cute lol, sorry for my angst 😛 All this new info for the pokemon games has got me a little intense in my reactions lol

          • Haha, it’s okay. I generally like brown as a colour, and Excadrill totally rocks it, but Pokemon like Lurantis that is specifially created to look like a gorgeous flower should have vibrant colours, regardless of gender. I’m just afraid that they’ll make it a female exclusive Pokemon due to it having a “feminine” appearence and colouring. 🙁

          • Actually there are female lionesses that are capable of forming manes like a male lion. They do it specifically to fool other lions into thinking they’re actually male so the other lions are less likely to attempt any attacks or unwanted mating.

    • Well that would just make them terminally broken, what with them being able to carry items. Plus their designs don’t work with the concept. Some regional variants could easily pass as megas, but the opposite is hardly true. Megas are supposed to be OTT overpowered next-level versions of pokémon. Alola forms are just alternate forms that are supposedly mostly on par with the originals (I’m betting we’ll be getting stat redistributions but none or few stat boosts). Now I’d agree Alola variants are a better concept than megas, but mixing the two would be a very clunky and uncalled for retcon IMO (plus I feel megas are good enough to exist in the first place).

  3. I would love to see them ported to NX <3
    it would be a smart move because they will sell more consoles

    but I would be a little fucked up after buying the 2 versions for 3DS
