They don't want your life to be complete.

lol exactly

 

[Madao]

i bet they'll do XZ and YZ. it's not the same as previous 3rd versions

 

[fedexpeon]

Can we get a fricken MMO-lite Pokemon?
Don't have to be as massive and complex as WoW, just plain-jane carbon copy of all the old pokemon regions combined as one. Players can roam those old areas with the element of other players finally challenging and helping you along the way.

Man...so much money that they can get with the subscription fee by using old assets.

Pokémon is MMO-lite now. While no player interaction goes on in the world (seriously, that would be chaos), at any time you can be online, battle and trade with anyone, help them with O-Powers etc. You don't need to go to a Pokémon Center or anything, it's just there waiting for you on the bottom screen.

I still don't get why people want all the old regions or even old regions in general. I want new things.

 

[MCN]

Harmoknight 2!

 

[Zoon]

obviously it's pokemon delta Z for WiiU

Spoiler

/s

 

[javac]

That Pikachu Detective Game should be out in Japan next year.

 

[harmonize]

I think the days of Pokemon not being a yearly series are done, especially after the success Yokai Watch has found from rapid-firing them out.

X2Y2 next year, Red/Blue remakes the next, then Gen VII in 2017.

 

[AniHawk]

Launch title for new hand held. Red/Blue full 3d remake and new engine for twentieth anniversary.

Will be there.

nah. 20th anniversary will be pokemon red 2 and pokemon green 2 as gen vii.

PVP in Pokemon would be fun. Just copy Dark Souls gameplay.
Pokemon trainer vs Team Rocket mechanic.
Kidnapping/stealing a pokemon/item/gold because you lose.
Ambushing you in the grass and preventing you from progressing past the forest.
The Gym leader turns into a real player encounter when you want to challenge them for a badge.
That's what I meant by MMO-lite. Just simple stuff that Dark Souls managed to pull off.

 

[Caramello]

I could see Pokémon Red and Blue/Green 20th Anniversary Edition launching on 3DS in late February 2016.

I could also see a spin off game with Amiibo support for the 2015 holiday season.

Or how about Red/Blue 20th Anniversary with Amiibo support

 

[Rösti]

Time for a Nintendo Direct to happen soon.

A Nintendo Direct broadcast in January isn't farfetched, but even if such does not happen there is Nintendo's Third Quarter Earnings Release for FY 2014 on January 28. That ought to set the tone for 2015.

As for Game Freak's announcement, I like it that they are doing something different this time around. Best outcome for me personally would be a game available for both Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, as I only have the latter.

 

[Busaiku]

Mega Pikachu Y needs to be a thing in the games.

 

[JoeM86]

Mega Pikachu Y needs to be a thing in the games.

The new Cosplay Pikachu costume. Clearly

 

[BasilZero]

Platinum Remake then Z in 2016.

Too many games ;(

 

[Glass Rebel]

I still don't get why people want all the old regions or even old regions in general. I want new things.

I want both. Or I want something that can rival the architecture of Johto.

 

[JoeM86]

I want both. Or I want something that can rival the architecture of Johto.

Compared to Unova, Sinnoh, Kalos and even Hoenn, Johto is so plain and small though.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I figure Red and Blue 2 will be the 20th Anniversary games. Need to introduce Kanto to the Mega Evolution timeline.

 

[Fdkn]

Are they going to release the complete versions of X/Y? Last year demo was ok.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Compared to Unova, Sinnoh, Kalos and even Hoenn, Johto is so plain and small though.

I definitely agree about the size but aside from Unova, I haven't found any region after Johto particularly interesting. As I said, it's mostly because of the distinctly Japanese architecture. I hope the next entries take stronger inspirations from a particular region in the real world.

My money is on Spain and Spanish architecture next generation

With Johto postgame please.

 

[Oni Link 666]

Probably an XY sequel for 2015. Hopefully better than BW2.

 

[Nightbird]

I still don't get why people want all the old regions or even old regions in general. I want new things.

Mostly due Nostalgic reasons.
I witnessed it with ORAS, where many people I knew claimed that Pokemon lost its Touch after Gen 3, and would only buy another Pokemon Game if it was a Remake of those or the earlier Gens. oras came around, they bought it, and while some enjoyed it, others said that it's not as great as they remembered it.

This ain't the case with everyone, but I think the one screaming the loudest for another Remake will end up being disappointed in won't even buy it.

 

[ash_ag]

nah. 20th anniversary will be pokemon red 2 and pokemon green 2 as gen vii.

Or better yet Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Teal. Teal being a blue-green colour naturally working well.

 

[MegaMelon]

I'm interested in seeing what they do next year. I don't think we'll see a main series game, but at the same time, I'm not sure they're gonna have a ZXZY/x2y2 for the 20th anniversary over a possible 7th gen or remake/reimagining of the kanto games with mega evolution and other stuff.

Side Note: I don't see the appeal of a pokemon-mmo. Especially when it'll amount to this:

 

[The Bankslammer]

at last, jerry boy 2 will be releasing after all these years

 

[ash_ag]

at last, jerry boy 2 will be releasing after all these years

Now that you mention it, Masuda did want to make a game for PS Vita.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

With it being the 20th anniversary, maybe we'll see Ultra Fire Red and Ultra Leaf Green or some kind of return to Kanto.

 

[TeddyShardik]

A fresh new take on Pokemon based around a new nuclear type

Oh you.

I was hoping they would take their time a bit after releasing the remakes. Not expecting a big revolution for the Pokemon games but hopefully they can make it interesting again.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

Kanye remake with johto included please

 

[Busaiku]

Kanye remake with johto included please

Huh.

 

[Hattori]

InfernoRed and BlazeBlue for the NEW3DS

 

[Oni Link 666]

Huh.

Kanye West Pokerap remix.

 

[Glass Rebel]

My money is on Spain and Spanish architecture next generation

That would be pretty cool but what makes you think so?

 

[-Horizon-]

Kanye remake with johto included please

 

[Vice]

Perhaps Red and Blue/ Green2. Taking place post- X/Y.

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

Pokemon Z and Pokemon Delta Emerald simultaneous release. This will happen and I've said it months ago.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

lust pearl and shine diamond

 

[Village]

If its pokemon ,Have a more extensive trainer customization

You can't remove that feature Gamefreak, in a new pokemon gamefreak.

Thats not ok , its 2015.I doubt you are but in case you need reinforcement don't do that.

What is this anime shit

 

[MaximumSpider]

Z in 2015
Kanto remakes in 2016
Aw yeah

 

[Tenki]

What is this anime shit

Anime featuring Kanye West, Queen Latifa, 50 Cent and Ice Cube.

 

[MegaMelon]

Kanye remake with johto included please

What a peculiar mishap lol.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Please, please don't be another Pokémon game. It doesn't need to be a yearly franchise like Call of Duty. I'd rather see Drill Dozer 2.

Why you be hating on Kanie Kanye?

 

[JoeM86]

That would be pretty cool but what makes you think so?

A recent tour Masuda did of Spain.

He often takes trips like this. He mentioned he was concerned people would twig that the next region was based on France due to his trips to France.

Just speculation, but with proximity to France, it could be interesting

 

[Village]

Why you be hating on Kanie Kanye?

No rhymes

Anime featuring Kanye West, Queen Latifa, 50 Cent and Ice Cube.

Anime isn't ready for a character that bored real and rich.

Please, please don't be another Pokémon game. It doesn't need to be a yearly franchise like Call of Duty. I'd rather see Drill Dozer 2.

... Its been like that for a while.

 

[Goldenmoney]

Pokemon Trading Card Game 3.

 

[Oregano]

If they are returning to Kanto I hope they do it in the form of a sequel or something. Maybe have it set quite a bit later than even Gold and Silver?

 

[Wyndstryker]

Pokemon z

Or firered and leafgreen remake

Or give me my pokemon snap
