There are also plenty of dog-like Pokémon now in the series, so many so that it might be hard to just pick one favorite but today we challenge you to do just that! What is your favorite dog (or dog-like) Pokémon?!

  1. I’ve been keeping in touch with PokeSirena. So far, she said this: 3 of her sources say it’s Generation 8 (the same people who got RR right), one says DP Remakes, and one says Kanto Remakes. I’m assuming that this is not counting the recently deleted Tieba forum leak.

  2. I really want Gen 8 to be a reboot, Rainbow Rocket felt somewhat conclusive, as did bringing back the OG player character and rival.

  3. A completely redone kanto rather than a typical remake wouldn’t really be that bad. Plus it could signify a new beginning for Pokemon quite Nicely.

      • ‘I want them to use the potential of a region that we haven’t seen used to its fullest even though we’ve visited it more than once’ =/= ‘new region’ lol

        • “Completely redone Kanto”

          No one really wants the same Kanto with the same routes and towns. They want a new region.

          If the use Kanto and Johto as a base for an open world game I’m fine with it but otherwise FRLG are the best ways to experience Kanto already. We don’t need it again

          • ‘Completely redone’ isn’t the same as ‘completely new’. Completely redone in this context means taking what’s already there and readjusting it, not starting over from scratch. What a new region is.

          • How is ‘completely redone’ just a 3D FRLG? That’s remade, not redone. A remake is redone but not everything that’s redone is a remake lol. There’s so much they can do with Kanto lol

          • > Using the region’s open design to make a far more open Pokemon game
            > Use new mechanics and features that didn’t exist the last time we were in Kanto and incorporate them well
            > Build the region up physically and lore wise thanks to having so much more power to work with
            > Telling a new narrative utilising old, fan favourite characters who can be fleshed out. Or no narrative and just expand on these characters because they’re all bland but deserve better

          • Far more drastic than anything a Pokemon remake has ever done before but if you want to play contrarian sure hun call it a pancake for all i care

          • Don’t think GF should waste all that expensive time and resources and the ability to refresh Pokemon on an existing Gen for a remake, they should focus on using the new tactics on a new Gen before Gen 1.

      • Yes
        Basically.
        Call it kanto so the old fans are happy and have returning kanto characters Because nostalgia.
        But like be different Enough.

    • I personally would welcome a sort of alternate reality Kanto (Which I though USUM would be with respect to SuMo).

      Have the same characters in different roles, have a different starting position and route through the region e.t.c

    • I just want Generation 8 Pokemon in the Switch game. That’s all I want. I can’t wait until Crobatair posts information on the deleted Kanto Remake leak from Tieba forums. Then we can leave it up to our own thoughts on whether the leak is true or false.

  4. Something is very wrong with me today
    I actually slept and woke up refreshed, I had a winning streak in LC and in Rocket League and work is going 100% smoothly

    IM CURSED

  5. I just realized; how are we going to transfer USUM/SM Pokemon to Gen 8 on Switch? I hope they’ll allow some sort of DS/Switch connection which enables you to use some sort of AirDrop to drop your Pokemon across, and not either some stupid game hunting your Pokemon or not at all. Cuz if it’s like Gen 2 and 3 with the inability to transfer, that’ll stink.

  6. They should just make an open world Pokémon game and CALL it Kanto kinda like how every zelda game has a completely different looking Hyrule but they still call it Hyrule because some timeline bullshit

    • I hope he’s not fake. Because he says that Generation 8 Pokemon are in the process of being named and trademarked. As much as I hate the part about the battle system being changed, which is what he also mentioned. I want to believe the first point because that means Generation 8 and not this Kanto Remake garbage that I’m so worried about. If he’s fake though, there’s still some hope left. PokeSirena said that she heard the Chinese translation team was in the process of naming the new Pokemon back in November.

  7. I know everyone’s speaking about the future of Pokemon but i’d actually like a demake of one of the games as a side game, i think it has the opportunity to be quite fun

    That or RBY but with the new types and Johto, including evos of Johto and Kanto mons

  8. I’m really glad Ultra Necrozma exists because I think it sets up precedence for the Original Dragon in Black and White remakes 😡

    If we’re disregarding reality I’d rather they ported BW/2 on the eshop or something and then we’d have BW > BW2 > BW3 (which would have Mega Reshiram/Kyurem or Mega B/W Kyurem with the OD in the background just like UNecrozma)

            It goes on forever

          • That’s just my nickname for it, me and Pi are close

            And I know it goes on forever, just like the thirst for news in the jungle is eternal

    A new leaker said that the Switch games are actually an alternate story to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon set in Alola, they will be called Pokemon Ultra Ultra Sun and Ultra Ultra Moon with 4 new pokemon 809 pokemon possible to encounter and a little bit diffrent story.
