pics or gtfo

Can't show what doesn't exist, lol.

 

[Blurry15]

I'm so dissapointed.

well at least we got 3 bits of info:

1. possible new gen?
2. Holiday 2016
3. Pokemon B/G/R/Y transfers

and... that's it...

don't forget that it will be on 3DS.

 

[MrBadger]

Well, that was fucking nothing.

But I suppose it doesn't help that it already got leaked

 

[zeromcd73]

First generation I'm not buying.

3DS went on ebay yesterday because of its absolute garbage hardware. Will wait for my Pokemon experience on Nintendo's next console

 

[thecouncil]

From the direct. Updating as it comes. Shocked this wasn't up the second it showed up.

Now playable in 9 languages including Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Pokemon RGBY are forward compatible with Sun and Moon via Bank.

Got any, uh... updates?

 

[killertofu]

No footage?

 

[The Boat]

And still no Portuguese! Tch!

 

[XaosWolf]

same engine too as it had the "3D available in some places" under the logo.

Fucking BOOOO.

The RBY link is cool and all, but they wont be the original mons from my childhood. They're still trapped on the same cartridge. =(

 

[Brazil]

Thanks for nothing TPC

 

[Tenki]

So it was real.

Anyway, we didn't need a Direct for this...

 

[Ansatz]

This announcement felt directed at investors, and that they're not ready to show the game yet for some reason. Maybe they don't want to take away hype from the gen 1 re-releases. It's also possible they didn't show anything because it's an NX launch game or at least cross-gen with NX.

 

[TheSlySoul]

They only showed concept art. There was nothing to reveal...

 

[Kinsei]

Why not show footage if a game coming out this year? Could this be the first main series Pokemon game to be available as a launch title?

 

[Newtype-001]

Gotta learn how to hype man.

 

[mapachealocado]

Pokémon Bank support was all I needed to buy the VC releases and they actually did it as for the rest... meh.

 

[Quonny]

Said it in the other thread, but there was nothing revealed here that couldn't be explaining in a single paragraph in an email.

Directs are such an awesome idea, yet it seems this one completely missed the mark.

 

[Uno Venova]

That was small enough information for a simple press release.

 

[Hedge]

No trailer?

 

[Lucario]

So... There's no EV cap in R/B/Y, right? So does this mean we'll be able to transfer completely overpowered pokemon to the new series of games?

Also, what happens if we try to transfer a Missingno?

Really hoping they don't patch out the glitches and/or patch in an EV cap...

 

[Neoxon]

You don't know how this works, do you?

Read the rest of the post. I was hoping that they would do Gen 6's sequel on the 3DS & save Gen 7 for the NX. But those hopes died when the leak happened.

 

[HardRojo]

Not releasing Pokémon X last year seems like a completely missed opportunity for that XYZ 3D reference now.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

I choose you Drunk Cat!

 

[V-Faction]

SOUTHERN KALOS -- JOHTO/KANTO SEQUEL BOYS.

I'm in.

 

[ZeroX03]

This is exactly what I expected from TPCi, so I'm not disappointed.

 

[MrCookiepants]

What the FUCK.

Coming 2016 and they can't show so much as a measly screenshot? Why even announce anything at all. What was the point of this Direct? I'm mad.

 

[Aaronrules380]

"We're" only disappointed because the name and logo leaked, keep that in mind people. Most people were expecting nothing prior when we found out that it would only be 5 mins long. Very excited, Pokemon is always a drip feed of info, nothing new.



Yup.

I was expecting a new game announcement before the leak, so I would have been a bit disappointed regardless

 

[Hikami]

Expected it but still disappointing that it's on 3DS. The game better be really good to make me still care about my 3DS in late 2016.

 

[oimori]

Winter.

 

[DrROBschiz]

You don't know how this works, do you?

itll be a cross gen game for sure

i see no reason to hold back so much info otherwise

combined with the recent financial readjustment

they are leaning on the transition phase thats upcoming in April

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Imagine if 1% of China buys this game

 

[Martylepiaf]

And wasted on the 3DS. Game Freak couldn't have waited until the NX Platform to do Gen 7, could they.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the games will be great. I just wish they just wrapped up Gen 6 on the 3DS & wait for the NX Platform for Gen 7.

Any console would have been a waste with GF anyway

 

[Already Torn]

This tweet from the Pokemon Twitter basically confirms its a new gen and not some garbage Kalos game imo

[R10Neymarfan]

"Some areas also playable in 3D"
Oh FFS Nintendo!

Really? I was hoping it's more like "fully playable in 2D and 3D on n3ds" Guess not

 

[Camp1nCarl]

To be fair GAF, we would be a lot more interested if we didn't know about the leak yesterday, even with no footage. We knew about their big announcement, so of course we are all like "wow nothing."

 

[Illucio]

Hmhmm.. No starter or Legendary reveals, no hype whatsoever. I'm actually upset they chose to not show anything new off. I guess that's for E3.

 

[evanmisha]

Horsea finally getting the respect it deserves

 

[Berordn]

So we gen 7 right that wasn't clear to me?

It's actually not confirmed.

 

[brainchild]

Aside from ZERO footage, we learned that gen I pokemon can finally be transferred to a new gen, so I guess we got SOME new information out of that otherwise worthless direct.

 

[zeromcd73]

That looks way better than what 3ds can handle. NX confirmed multi confirmed!

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

The leak ruined everything since there's no footage.

 

[Sandfox]

Looked like gen 7 to me and I'm starting to question whether its on the 3DS.

 

[Pineapple]

"Here, we have an amazing new set of Pokemon games coming later this year. And even though we decided to put together and announce this dedicated stream, we're deciding not to tell you anything at all about the games."

 

[Busaiku]

Team Sun all the way.

 

[Yrael]

same engine too as it had the "3D available in some places" under the logo.

I wonder if it will at least be n3DS enhanced this time around...the frame rate during battles with the 3D switched on is absolutely pitiful in X/Y/OR/AS.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Why is it every time I tune into a Nintendo Direct they're awfully pointless, like this.

 

[KojiKnight]

For a game that is only 10 months away tops... it is a little weird they didn't show anything... Still going to think we may be seeing an NX version and they are holding off to show that since it'll be shinier.

 

[L.O.R.D]

wow, it was surprising disappointing

 

[spiritfox]

Not even a trailer? Really?

Sigh.

 

[Red Devil]

And wasted on the 3DS. Game Freak couldn't have waited until the NX Platform to do Gen 7, could they.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the games will be great. I just wish they just wrapped up Gen 6 on the 3DS & wait for the NX Platform for Gen 7.

That wasn't a big surprise it was kind of obvious it was going to be on 3DS...

 

[rhandino]

Some of you are starting to do the mosT, the announcement got leaked so of course most of you couldn't get hype since you all knew what it is coming.
