Pokémon 2D-fighter developed by SNKP.
I'm gonna take my pills now.

Pretty sure it won't be a cheap thing like new TCG set or new film. Probably an game that nobody will care about, just like Pokémon Type, PokéPark or Rumble Blast. Their milking process is well under way and it can't be stopped.
But since Masuda himself is announcing this thing, it might not be that way. If Masuda announces, it means he's in the charge of this game, and whatever he is making it's gotta be mainline game. I can't imagine him talking about some shitty spinoff made by useless Genius Sonority or Creatures (They are the most useless two studios Nintendo has and they need to be shut down).

I'm gonna say ... Pokedex 3DS expanded to have another gen of Pokemon.
That seems like a safe bet ... doesn't seem like the right time for a Main Line game seeing as they talked about having treats that were as good as earlier this year.

Yup, was just about to say this.pramath said:
The ONLY way they can do a DS/3DS game is to make 2 different versions of it.
DS needs to be let go ... let them move on to the 3D models of the 3DS.
I doubt it. They were done by Jupiter, the same studio behind Spectrobes. Masuda has no reason to announce a project of theirs.Ragus said:
Also, why would Nintendo develop a MMO to compete with DQX? they'd be deliberately putting two of Japan's biggest franchises to their deaths.
pramath said:
The way they did it with some of the GB/GBC and GBC/GBA examples is they basically just had two versions of the game on the cartridge, one for each system. The system would recognize and play the proper version.
Same thing. Have both a DS and 3DS version of the game on the card. When you play on a DS, it sees it as a DS game. When you play on a 3DS, it sees it as a 3DS game.

Fuck that, animated 3D Models please.Electivirus said:
Time to get REAL people ... it took 15 years for us to just get Idle Animation out of these low-res sprites but now that they have done the 3DS Pokedex they have shown just a sample of how good they can make them in 3D if they try.
IDK about you but I would prefer to have animation over a slightly animated sprite.
Again, this.pramath said:
A game that takes advantage of the 3DS features can't be played on the DS because it would BE a 3DS game.
Think ... Wii and GC.
You can make a Wii game or a GC game and play it on the Wii but you can't make a GC game that features Wii features. Like with TP ... the made a Wii version because there's no way to make Wiimote controls on the GC version.

As good as that would look, I love the way it looks in Pokedex 3D. with the 3DS lighting. The sunset backdrop looks gorgeous.
From there, if they could get animations right, and add more and more functionality to said animations, we'd finally be a step closer to a living-breathing Pokemon world in 3D as opposed to more sprites and everything left up to the imagination. Playing Pokemon looks old. Even B/W. I wanna SEE the battle take place, represented through real graphics, instead of having to try to imagine a battle in my head every time I play. The transition from overworld to battle is also way too different.
Edit: Conversely, I also wouldn't be surprised to see an improved version of B/W with overworld sprites again like HGSS and in 3D on 3DS as "Gray Version". I hope not though. They might as well launch the new engine. But who knows.

Gasp! Gen III was easily the worst batch of starters. All the others are pretty wonderful--decent at the very least--but Treecko was the only one that I didn't think was completely ugly/awful.
Here are all the possibilities I can think of: * | **
*(New mainline games like Gray, R/S remakes, Gen 6, or what have you, are unlikely because usually the announcement would be something along the lines of "New Pokemon Game to be announced !" (but if it is, omg))
**(most-shocking to least/least likely to most)

If all we're getting is a Pokemon Ranger game I will cry...
What? Youre joking, right? The notch on a 3DS cart is just to prevent it from fitting in a DS.pramath said:

Developed by Square Enix alongside DQX right?
DS and 3DS games are totally different inside of the cartridge, whereas GB and GBC were basically the same. In addition, GBC, GBA, and DS use hardware for backwards compatibility, while 3DS uses emulation. There are key differences here, and it's just not possible. There would have to be separate games. There's just no way around it.KevinCow said:

My biggest wish is for Stadium 3 on Wii U, no more Gensius Sonority garbage unless they (GS) do their own thing and not copy another's formula.
Like I wouldn't want to see Chunsoft make a Snap 2, for instance.
It's been like this:
GS: Console RPGs that use the Stadium engine, story is much different than the main games, the first even had you playing as an ex-villian.
Chunsoft: MD roguelike games.
HAL: Snap.
Jupiter: Pinball and Mini handheld games.
Hudson: TCG on Gameboy, Creatures is the real caretaker of the TCG and did the DS training game IIRC.
Creatures: Ranger (1st co-done by HAL, sequels were solo), Pokepark Wii.
EAD: Stadium series.
NST: Puzzle League. The classic PL games were by Intelligent Systems, and IIRC, the GC Panel de Pon game that was released in the Nintendo Puzzle Collection along with the JP release of Dr. Mario 64 and a remake of Yoshi's Cookie, was actually a proper GC game that was converted from Pokemon Puzzle League that was meant for the N64, but was finally released on GC.
So get EAD off their asses onto Stadium 3 for Wii U for fuck sake. and get Hajime Wakai on the soundtrack STAT!
"Pokémon Smash's episode just aired in Japan and mentioned that Mewtwo is to be given away through an event soon with details to be revealed next week. The preview showcased Masuda coming in and showing a sign, blanked out, with a caption saying that there's a revelation of the Present."

The new edit is a bit confusing. So, they'll be having a Mewtwo giveaway event and they'll give the details next week and they show Masuda holding up a square with a question mark. Surely the question mark isn't for Mewtwo since we all know what Mewtwo looks like.

I said wow
Excited to get Mewtwo soon!
I was always confused by the whole "herd u liek Mudkipz" thing because I really don't.

It really doesn't show anything, the card is covered, so we'll have to wait for CoroCoro leaks and/or the 3DS Conference.

Am I the only one that, when reading "Pokemon Smash", I thought a Smash Bros title featuring the entire Pokemon catalogue?

I'd kill for that. How'd it work though? Unless obviously not all Pokemon would make it, like Wailord. :l

Anyone think it may be the companion game for Wii so you can fight your BW Pokémon in 3D? I mean they already have the models in the Pokédex 3D app, so I don't see why this couldn't be possible?
