Is there really a good release date for something like #FE? That's the kind of project that can come out at any point and do just as well as it would on any other.

Yes that is Gen 7. The only way that SM is not Gen 7 is if that bird shown in the trailer ethier isn't a new Pokemon or isn't in the game and that Megeana isn't in the game. That seems very unlikely. New Pokemon = New Generation.

Kalos has Diancie. Also basically all of Kanto's legends were in the first Johto movie.
It's almost been 2 years already. God damn man. God damn. That is all I can say.

I'm hoping for something like that too. Any color, I just want a regular size n3DS

Im 50/50 on this one
I feel like they almost have to call back to it and they can get away with just showing more of the WiiU version and still announce the NX version later

Or anything ever.
After the weirdness that was the Pokemon Sun/Moon reveal, you might be right.

Diancie does not have 100 in every stat across the board. It is more of a deoxys type thing with defenses and offenses for its mega evolution. Kalos has never had a pokemon like Mew/celebi/Manaphy/Shaymin.

I only want a release date for Fire Emblem Fates, Dragon Quest VII and #FE, more is not needed.
The localisation of The Great Ace Attorney and at least one of the Dragon Quest Monsters games would be appreciated, though an overload of DQ games in 2016 wouldn't do the series a favour and Capcom most definitely prioritises Ace Attorney 6.

But Sun/Moon is 3DS-only, & we did see Zelda U footage last November.
When was this mentioned? All we know is that R/B/Y can only transfer directly into Sun & Moon, unless I've missed something.

Yeah, although I'm trying to keep myself optmistic, I can't help but think that this is what gonna end up happening.
You know what pisses me off? Miyamoto pushed for Sticker Star because according to him, otherwise it would end up being "Too similar to the gamecube-one".
Now what are we gonna get? A carbon copy of Sticker Star.
Not tomorrow. Won't get a real look until E3.

The only thing I really want is my SMTIV Final date for NA. Hurry up Atlus NA.

Wat!? Damn hope I can watch before I have to leave for my trip. D:
Not until April at the earliest.
All I want is Zelda. If just get that absolutely nothing else matters. Just not a 10 second tease like last time. Also, more often than not Nintendo does stray a little bit from their "Wii U and 3DS games for Spring/Summer/Fall etc." I remember their last direct was supposed to be about Spring 2016 games but we wound up getting that 10 second tease for Zelda Wii U and the announcement of DQVII and VIII for 3DS, where I believe DQVII is summer 2016 and DQVIII is sometime later in 2016.
I feel that's a really outdated way of looking at it. The Mega Evolutions introduced in ORAS weren't in the coding of XY, and there's every chance they could decide to add new Pokemon in that way as well.

They clearly areWhile there were just 72 new Pokémon, there were also 48 Mega Evolutions and 2 Primal Reversions. They're new Pokémon in all but name.
I was obviously just kidding but I never thought about the Mega Evos like that. Makes sense, I guess.
I still wonder what they're gonna do about Volcanion and Zygarde though.
Maybe new forms of existing Pokémon, but not entirely new Pokémon. Sun/Moon is Gen 7, plain & simple.
I think this is shockingly accurate. I can't stand more Pokken or StarFox footage at this point. I don't really have anything I'm looking forward to from Nintendo so far so I hope they at least have something new and (relatively) exciting. Not expecting much, though

I love how many times recently they've gone out of their way to say "We're not going to talk about the things you really want to hear about." A number of investor meetings, E3, Directs...

I just realized, Yo-kai Watch 3 is coming this summer, so in the Japan Direct, there could be new info for the game.
Plus we could get Yo-kai Watch 2 revealed in the American Direct for a summer release.
And the original Yo-kai Watch game for the European Direct.
It's literally the Yo-kai Apocalypse.
Mind blown.

I agree with this. But it's still pretty obvious that Sun and Moon are Gen 7 with all the talk of new eras and new worlds, in addition to the new Pokemon.

Why? I mean Pokken is a known quantity but it makes sense to promote it in advance of release. Plus maybe we'll get something new/their post release plan.
And Star Fox we really haven't seen anything new of since E3. The stuff in the November Direct was the same.
I love how this somewhat negative post is probably the most realistic set of predictions in this entire thread.

Hey Joe, I agree with you because of the first 3 reasons but do you have a link to the press release that says that it is a new gen? I totally missed that.
Forgot about the Zelda U footage... but really it couldn't been from an earlier build and we'd be none the wiser.
If Pokemon was a generic AAA game that is supposed to release 2 years from now, then Concept Art + 3D Wireframes wouldn't be raising my eyebrows. But all things considered, that Pokemon Direct was suspect and I don't think we can close the door on potential shenanigans.
Nooo that would be a perfect summer game for me. I don't want to play that meaty rpg so close to the NX.
I would buy it again. But in reality it would be a bit too early from when he was talking about it.

Can't wait to be disappointed by Paper Mario in new and exciting ways.

You are overly negative, GAF. You are still hurt by E3 2015. Let me heal you, GAF.

Mega Evolutions are reversible changes in a Pokemon which change there stats, ability ect. Mechanically they are far more similiar to forms/formes than they are to whole new Pokemon.
If they do add new Pokemon to game X while it is not coded into game Y then Game X is in another generation. The term Generation is defined by new Pokemon.

Man, I wanna tell you to shut up but the series has been on a downward trend. I can't take another Sticker Star.
