Intrepid gamers have dug deep to uncover evidence that suggests a new Nintendo Direct is likely be held this week. They have based this on the pattern which Nintendo follows when updating their site ahead of upcoming presentations.
Although Pokémon games are not usually announced at the American E3 gaming convention, they are commonly revealed during the month of May. Information on the follow-up to last year’s Pokémon Sun & Moon is highly expected before the end of the month.
Also, 8 years ago tomorrow HGSS was revealed. 9 years ago this week Platinum was revealed. Plus first real info on BW, DP and SM came in May

This means that the next direct to come from Nintendo has a high probability of focusing on Pokémon and what’s next for the main series.
Sound the hype horn!
Since I’m partly bored (And in all honesty, I’m not too excited for the incoming DP remakes, anyyyyone wanna join me on Showdown for an incredibly stupid idea?)
How incredibly stupid?
VERY stupid
Possibly unbalanced
But really weird
………..i’m probably going to regret it but i’m game
let me get my food out of the microwave
Posted it above
I’ll join
YEEEEEEe
Why dont we do a battle royale
I would but this idea is beautiful

Wow…. That song spoke english. Nice.
Oh and the pikachu getting kidnapped thats disturbing
“PRESIDENT PIKACHU HAS BEEN SHOT”
The suit was deflating so they had to rush to get it off stage. I will say tho that having all those guys swarm the Pikachu was a bit much. They could have easily had the Pika start to walk off and then just had a couple of guys help them out. Instead they chose the most distracting way possible and had like 10 guys rush the stage. lol
That’s the funniest part to me. The only way they could’ve handled it worse was if they stopped the whole show to get him offstage
Terrorist threat inbound 😛
At first I was thinking ‘Korean songs are weird’, then I realised ‘dear god that’s supposed to be English’.
My grand idea: Everyone who comes on showdown picks their team… in a special way
The numbers 1-801 (Shadow BBU isn’t out yet) are put into a randomizer
You get six numbers
Whatever numbers you get are your team
If you win, you gain the ability to re-roll
But this is only allowed three times
Feel free to join!
as soon as i figure out what that means
It means a random number generator is choosing the mons you use
so….just random battle…..
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut it can also choose preevos
and be at a severe disadvantage
Exactly, I said it would be unbalanced af
Yea.. Why do we just do randomizer
I mean a randomized team… the whole team is randomized, it’ll be wild
Because those choose sets and don’t include pre-evos
http://pyrotoz.com/
Good Pokemon randomizer
But stilllllllllllllllllllllllllll
It’lll be funnnnn
Wanna try or…
Maybe it’s better to re-roll if you lose, because if you have like three weedles against three Arceus you are not going to win anything :P.
Yeaaaah, that;s a good idea
755-Morelull
46- Paras
372- Shelgon
57- Primeape
27- Sandshrew
415- Combee
…I want to die
Im on showdown lets battle my IGN is huntark and choose Custom as the tier
Okay!
Ready to get your team?
I already got it
What did ya get from teh randomizer?
Youll see when we battle
post the link
i wanna spectate
If she ever challenges me. Im still here waiting
I’m a guy
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen7customgame-572957991
Wait yours inclues Pre evos right?
Yesss. CMon are we gonna battle Whats your IGN

And this is why it’s a bad idea.
You should at least let people round up to the next highest evolution 😛
THE MORELULL AND COMBEE PUT IN WORK DO NOT DOUBT THEM

Nah mine’s better
I agree
I’m hyep’d
I’m not in this picture because I’m inside on my computer 😛
Question time, here’s a fun one: would you rather have a new Pokemon game every 2.5-3 years and have the amount of content that HGSS had every time, or have a new game every year, but continue with the minimal content?
This one’s easy for me- option 1. A HGSS style game would last me much longer than the recent ones. SM didn’t have the content to last even 3 months for me.
i only play sun and moon when im really bored
I picked up MH4U yesterday and it’s a blast. I’m using it to fill the gaping hole in my heart after finishing BotW.
I just continued to play BotW having fun again
That’s good. I’ve pretty much done everything I wanted to at this point, so sadly I won’t touch my switch for a month or so. I am glad I got done before exams though lol
I don’t remember when I last played it. When I made my Lusateam maybe? That I never used?
Haven’t touched it properly since January.
I have been hatching eggs in ORAS however (still can’t get the Eevee I want).
‘properly’ being not just downloading and claiming a mystery gift.
2 years with post-game
Yeah. It’d suck having to wait but it’d pay off.
HGSS was gold (and silver), I can wait years if it means properly good games instead of games I’d rather forget existed.
Option 1 – There wouldn’t be as many Pokemon games but it’ll be worth it, I’m kinda tired of Pokemon games with minimal post game content
I think they can strike a balance. B2W2 were only a year after BW and they managed a good amount of content. HGSS was only like a year after Platinum anyway. Granted I’m not sure how much longer it would take with the new graphics
Their attempts at improving the graphics are one of the main reasons it keeps taking so long. Reusing all the old Pokemon and Player models and just adding new ones would save them a ton of work compared to redoing a ton of the existing ones.
That’s true. That’s why I’m almost hesitant to say there’ll be another game this year.
Tbh I’m kind of hoping they’ll put it off if it means getting a better game.
As nice as the graphics and customisation in SM were, I’d live without them for some better post-game content, a better paced story or various other refinements.
Question 2, spinoff question: if option 1 happened, would you rather that GF continue with the concept of a “generation” with a few games each time, but with a lot of content, or have new Pokemon and new everything every 3 years, but do away with remakes and sequel versions?
I would rather have option 2, because otherwise we wouldn’t get new Pokemon or anything for like 6-8 years.
Sorry if this doesn’t make sense. Basically what I’m asking is, would you rather continue what’s happening now, or have a new story and new Pokemon every game?
What’s happening now is perfectly fine for me.
So is this MK8D Tourney actually happening or no?
If only it was 200cc ;~;

the only thing I remember from the 3rd movie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_DcneWQFZQ
It’s yo mama
The 3rd film was well animated but the plot was full of holes.
like what?
The Unown having the Power to create an Entei (among other Pokemon) and the power to crystallise things.
The fact they could hypnotise Delia and cause her to faint but couldn’t simply do the same to everyone else.
The fact something so drastic is going on and they don’t make any attempt to call in the E4, the Champion or any Gym leaders.
Not to mention why the Unown chose to do it all in the first place, or why they chose to return Professor Hale afterwards.
Oh, and they never said where her mother was while this was all happening, her father had been kidnapped but considering what was going on someone would have had the sense to contact her mother.
I always remember, “If that is what you wish”
Entei says it like 50 times. I never liked how he talked though. That movie actually made Entei my least favorite of the legendary
catsbeastsDan Green
It’s so lazy that they just reused the guy who played Mewtwo
who are you
Underrated scene
oh god i forgot about this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaVklXhNBP4
It’s wonderful ;-;
What pokemon do you think are overrated?
-Lugia
-Entei
-Charizard
-Greninja
-Typhlosion
That’s not to say I don’t like these guys (Charizard Y is one of my favorite megas) but I feel they’re a bit overhyped
all
wut
overhyped buttrags
True Pokemon is just overrated. Digimon is where it’s attack
OU pokes
Fair enough
Ho-oh
Charizard
Blastoise
Every Pseudo except Goodra
Mewtwo
Greninja
Eevee
Poor Goodra
It deserves more love
tell that to google images…
#ruinedbygoogleimages
Goodra was a mistake.
I’m not a big fan of it, but I like it more than kommo-o
Granted I’m not a fan of either, but Kommo-o has the advantage of not being a disturbing pile of hentai-abused goo.
I’ll stay away from google images
I have seen things that cannot be unseen.
Greninja is definitely at the top.
Not sure about any others.
Stupid greninja
What does overrated even mean? Is just a pokemon many people like that you dont like? Or a pokemon many people like that shouldnt be liked?
Aren’t those the same things?
No examples:
1. Means a lot of people like Celesteela but I hate it.
2. A lot children including myself pikachu, but it really is a super basic pokemon and shouldnt really be liked.
Why shouldn’t Pikachu be liked?
Sometimes simple designs are the best.
For example, most of the earlier Eevee-lutions are quite simple but they’re still well liked.
Both points have their basis in opinion since you cannot define what ‘shouldn’t’ be liked in a purely logical/scientific way.
They were examples, but I understand the meaning now
I’d probably classify it as pokemon that are put on a pedestal but aren’t the end-all-be-all of pokemon.
Lucario, Mega Charizard X, and Mewtwo
True. Megazard x is a bit overrated
Used to love it, actually. But then I slowly realized how much it was getting the attention, with Charizard Y getting left behind. Then I started hating it.
Mega Charizard X would be less terrible if its flames weren’t afixed to its mouth.
What do you see?

End the 3DS must.
The pokerus is strong with this one
From my point of view Nintendo is evil!
There’s no use Sony! I have the high ground!
You turned Microsoft against me!
3 days late for that one 😛
The trailer? That came out more than 3 days ago didn’t it? It was shown before GotG V2 came out, I thought.
May 4th 😛
I’ve clearly lost track of time lol
Time is an illusion anyway 😛
Especially lunchtime.

Too late ;-;

If you ate the bird people in Botw would they be Do-ritos?
Was that a rito-rical question?
No need to be so ger-RUDE-o
That was terrible ; n ;
Pokemon RUMBLE Stars.
That would be disappointing
Oh I’d be so …….Oh idk…I don’t really hate the rumble games, but that would be a bummer lol
Eh, could be worse.
OH GOD, WHAT, NO, HALP, WTF HAVE I STUMBLED UPON!!??

NOOOO I WAS DRAWING ON THE WRONG LAYER
Be playing Showdown while listening to this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK3OGfVcWmE
Both Mario Galaxies had exceptional soundtracks.
I wish they’d make a third.
Yep.. I was so eager for a third to be announced in 2012 or 2013. Great times.
But I’m satisfied that we’re getting SMO, which is somewhat similar to the Galaxy games
I’m going to miss the crazy gravity-defying planets though.
And I have my doubts about it being Sunshine/Galaxy level.
BLEHGGG
I’m drawing right now but I can’t stop thinking of BotW. I wanna play it so baddddd
but if I don’t finish this today it will take me forever to
