At that point it would be gen 7 though.



70 would be more than what gen 6 added. That's enough to make it a new gen.

Unless it was explicitly part of the same generation and didn't even have new starters. New Pokémon doesn't have to mean new gen just because it's always been that way. They want to break expectations, so tradtion shouldn't be looked at like law.

 

[L95]

Maybe they're avoiding the Pokemon Z name because unless you're Dragon Ball Z, the letter Z has two different pronounciations in English?

Also, why sell 1 game when you can sell 2? It could still be gen 6, just with a different motif.

Oh, I say Zee, but an alternate pronunciation is Zed? Zeta? something like that. (Forgive me, I'm a filthy merican that's only heard 'zee')

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Holy shit this sounds cool. An actual Pokemon that is a planet itself. Only appear a few times and is rare af. I would buy the two versions if this happens!

There should be a giant pokéball that you have to construct just to catch it

 

[DecoReturns]

Nobody said the third version had to be one game, Z was just a catch all name for fans to discuss the next game.

A lot kept saying one game in a few threads. I said that it would be two release but something new.

Something like B2/W2 which seems to be the cases.
Anyways I hope it's like black or white, those were interesting games.


Wait I guess your right too. Whoops just woke up sorry

 

[yoonshik]

Does ORAS or XY have the best post game content?

I just want to catch a lot of Pokemon I can use for Pokemon Sun.

ORAS.

ps: for me at least.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

It's a bit of a shame that it will be for 3DS even though I own one lol. I want to ave more reasons to buy NX. With that said, new pokemon always has me hyped.

 

[Madao]

makes sense they'd do the BW2 thing again since BW2 outsold all the 3rd versions of past gens.

that is, if these are still Gen 6 games. being Gen 7 would be a little too fast at this point imo.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

ORAS in my opinion. And the Elite Four is perfect for grinding to level 100. X's and Y's Elite Four is too low-level, and it takes a while.

 

[Sponge]

Pokémon speculation is literally the best.

Is that crystal in the middle of the poster supposed to be the sundial?

 

[fredrancour]

Two releases tho. A single one game hasn't happen since platinum?

most "z" talk has just been a shorthand way of saying "whatever xy followups we get." most people have felt pretty confident that after b2w2 succeeded they'd continue with similar semi-sequel things in the future over a single third version.

 

[xPixels]

calling it now: goths vs bros

suns out guns out y'all

 

[Kinsei]

Does ORAS or XY have the best post game content?

Both have an awful post game but ORAS is slightly better due to having more legendaries to catch.

Unless it was explicitly part of the same generation and didn't even have new starters. New Pokémon doesn't have to mean new gen just because it's always been that way. They want to break expectations, so tradtion shouldn't be lookef at like law.

I'd still consider it a new gen.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Imagine this

You need to trade Zygarde from XY to SM just to get Perfect

 

[Kyzer]

If this is a new gen it might be time to dust off my wishlist

For now ima say if the region is huge I'd love rideable Pokemon and soaring

 

[Tacorona72]

ORAS in my opinion. And the Elite Four is perfect for grinding to level 100. X's and Y's Elite Four is too low-level, and it takes a while.

Not to mention that even after you beat them first time they still only had 4 Pokemon iirc.

 

[MaximumSpider]

Pokémon speculation is literally the best.

They really are

 

[ghibli99]

ORAS is your best bet for amassing a collection. It's so much easier and more fun than XY, IMO.

 

[RexNovis]

So does this mean their third release will be Pokemon: Grossly Incandescent?

 

[YoRHa No.2 Type B]

In other words, Pokemon in Space confirmed?

Mew origins confirmed?

 

[Sandfox]

ORAS in my opinion. And the Elite Four is perfect for grinding to level 100. X's and Y's Elite Four is too low-level, and it takes a while.

XY had other ways to easily grind.

 

[xmajinjoshx]

Praise the Sun!

 

[Pachimari]

Okay it's decided. I'm going for ORAS. I never played the Gen III games anyway, so I have never seen that region either. Thanks.

 

[ArchedThunder]

I'd still consider it a new gen.

Even if they outright said "This is an extension of the X and Y Generation"?

 

[DecoReturns]

Surprise ruin.

Why leak things that happen in a day? I guess it can't be stopped

 

[Vooduu]

In other words, Pokemon in Space confirmed?

Mew origins confirmed?

With Deoxys guest appearance.

 

[fredrancour]

So does this mean their third release will be Pokemon: Grossly Incandescent?

no. they'll release pokemon comet and meteor as split third versions semi-sequels to these games, which will already be secret gen-6 pseudosequels

 

[Pancake Mix]

Oh, I say Zee, but an alternate pronunciation is Zed? Zeta? something like that. (Forgive me, I'm a filthy merican that's only heard 'zee')

Yup, Zed, I think it's derived from zeta though. This way the Pokemon Company can avoid cultural differences and sell 2 games. It's too early to say for sure that this is actually Gen VII and not Gen VI.

 

[Kinokou]

The games take place in Norway so that you can have eternal day or eternal night.

Then they must also bring back seasons, since polar night is winter and midnight sun is summer.

I would like it if we get more pokemon who changes forms based on that.

Better yet, place it on Iceland since they have more interesting landscapes in total and still have the eternal day and night.

And some arctic henge ruins

I wouldn't be be opposed to having Norway and Iceland mash either as that would set up the most amazing setting.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Hi.

Type: Psychic

Should be

Type: psychic/space

 

[Maintenance]

Wait, I thought this was a fake?

 

[Kinsei]

Even if they outright said "This is an extension of the X and Y Generation"?

Yes. At that point what even constitutes a new gen?

 

[Killer Queen]

That list of removed features upsets me. So many great things removed for no reason.

 

[Neoxc]

Alright stupid question, is it called Pokemon Moon and Sun or Pokemon Sun and Moon Thread title leads me to believe it is the former. Either way I am hyped for what's to come tomorrow

 

[Zalman]

We don't know yet.

 

[Real Hero]

Type: Psychic

Should be

Type: psychic/space

Why would all pokemon from space be the same type?

 

[Metroidvania]

Well just let me say that Sun and Moon NOT being a new gen and instead being only an expansion of XY would be a big surprise

Mostly because it would be so shitty and underwhelming

There's a chance, if it is X2/Y2, that it isn't bare bones....but they'd have to add quite a bit.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Personal wish list of new megas (mostly ones that could even maybe possibly happen because Sun/Moon motifs):

Clefable (but balanced pls)
Starmie
Gen 2 Starters (cuz another Gen 2 remake isn't coming anytime soon)
Noctowl
Sunflora
Umbreon / Espeon
Xatu
Bellossom
Flygon (for fuck's sake)
Cacturne
Lunatone / Solrock
Grumpig
Tropius
Cherrim
Mismagius
Weavile
Musharna
Sigilyph
CHANDELURE PLEASE
Volcarona
Gen 6 Starters (if not Gen 2 ones, cuz it seems like a good time for these to get megas)
Heliolisk
Noivern (just cuz)

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Wait, I thought this was a fake?

The trademarks were filed by Nintendo, accompanied with these images.

 

[essemdub]

What is the DexNav?

I would seriously love space Pokemon. They got to do it with Moon and Sun. I wouldn't mind getting 70 new Pokemon for Gen VI either.

In this context, you can use the second screen to specifically search for Pokémon you've already caught in an area, and also encounter "hidden" pokemon that need to be snuck up on, and sometimes have "unique" starting moves.

 

[storafötter]

Does ORAS or XY have the best post game content?

I just want to catch a lot of Pokemon I can use for Pokemon Sun.

ORAS has better but its pretty bad in comparison (just a chase quest revisiting old locations) to Black/White and Pearl/Platinum (unlocking new areas, access to "new" pokemons and enemies).

 

[Kinsei]

Alright stupid question, is it called Pokemon Moon and Sun or Pokemon Sun and Moon Thread title leads me to believe it is the former. Either way I am hyped for what's to come tomorrow

We'll know for sure tomorrow, but all of the games that have the red vs blue theme going on have the red game first. I expect it will be Sun and Moon not Moon and Sun.

 

[ghibli99]

Okay it's decided. I'm going for ORAS. I never played the Gen III games anyway, so I have never seen that region either. Thanks.

Have fun! It gets a lot of hate here, but I loved it.

 

[Zalman]

We'll know for sure tomorrow, but all of the games that have the red vs blue theme going on have the red game first. I expect it will be Sun and Moon not Moon and Sun.

Every generation has had a red/blue theme and the order is inconsistent.

 

[DecoReturns]

I hope theirs a Sprite option for graphics.

Kinda what that dragon quest game did.

 

[Already Torn]

So someone's using this theory

red and blue cores are accounted for

but the orange and cyan ones aren't

they match Sun and Moon colors

And there's a sundial in the picture too

We'll know for sure tomorrow, but all of the games that have the red vs blue theme going on have the red game first. I expect it will be Sun and Moon not Moon and Sun.

Pokemon Y and X.

 

[5amshift]

Surprise ruin.

Why leak things that happen in a day? I guess it can't be stopped

Nintendo's fault for making the registration public.

 

[KojiKnight]

Alright stupid question, is it called Pokemon Moon and Sun or Pokemon Sun and Moon Thread title leads me to believe it is the former. Either way I am hyped for what's to come tomorrow

2 games, one is Pokemon Moon, one is Pokemon Sun.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

We'll know for sure tomorrow, but all of the games that have the red vs blue theme going on have the red game first. I expect it will be Sun and Moon not Moon and Sun.

XY didn't.

 

[Pachimari]

Have fun! It gets a lot of hate here, but I loved it.

I never liked the designs of the Gen III monsters, so I kind of hope that they aren't the biggest part of the roster but they probably are since it's a Gen III remake.

 

[ramparter]

Guess the remakes will be called Red Sun and Blue Moon
