So basically we have to ask Nintendo upfront about a new console Pokemon Game, if they say "we don't comment on rumor or speculation" then its 99.9% true.

To be honest, I'm shocked that TPC(i) hasn't started an annual "Pokecon." I mean, Pokemon is easily one of the biggest franchises in the world, so such an event would generate a lot of money. It really makes no sense.

This sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Along the lines of a Call of Duty XP, you mean?
I always thought that the Pokemon Championships were a bit like that. I mean, if I am not mistaken, HeartGold/SoulSilver and Black/White were all announced at the Championships, weren't they?

Would be better if they came out and said "We have no plans to continue the Pokemon franchise. It's dead."

If Pokemon did take a five year break, it would be.. interesting. Not smart, but maybe it would give the franchise a chance to reinvent itself a bit. I appreciate the changes made in 4th/5th generation, but I guess competitively, it doesn't appeal to me any longer.

Both were announced in Corocoro unless I'm mistaken?

Speaking of Pokemon typing, it's never coming to west is it? I really want that keyboard :(

I'm still very sad about AAI2, but surely hope they completely scrap Apollo and his crew for AA5
Click to expand...

Apollo would have been a fine game if they didn't shoehorn Phoenix in it. I'm kinda pissed AAI2 isn't coming but I wasn't too fond of the first one (the last case really dragged and the Little Thief was just too much to suspend my disbelief), so it's "okay".

Since it's designed to teach Japanese children how to type in Japanese using English letters on a QWERTY Keyboard, probably not.

That's the only way I see Nintendo ending Pokemon, when they themselves go out of business.

Pokemon might actually outlast Nintendo, since a third of it is independently held. In case that Nintendo does go out of business, we might see The Pokemon Company or whatever taking full control of the Pokemon franchise.

And they'll release a handheld console dedicated to Pokemon games. The console will of course, be in the shape of a Pokedex.

Potentially, it could. Maybe The Pokemon Company will make their own handheld, Put out 3 Pokemon games in the handheld's lifetime, download more Pokemon and more areas to explore for each game.
I'd buy it.
Edit: Wow, I was...beaten, would you look at that.

They'd sell it for $400.
And it would be sold out everywhere.

$400 with Pokemon: Purple/Orange. Starter Pokemon wouldn't be the classic Fire/Water/Grass type instead it would be Dark/Psychic/Ghost, 150 new Pokemon, with 10-20 new Pokemon every month. 48 gyms. The chance to go back to Kanto, Jhoto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova in future DLC, for the low low price of $10 per area. You can also fight the gym leaders and Elite Four, and they have new and improved Pokemon. Can't forget about hard mode, where everyone has higher level Pokemon, and its harder to catch Pokemon, as well as harder to level up.

Okay I'm gonna shut up now, just going to disappoint myself when the next Pokemon Generation is announced.

Poke-con? Sounds like an incredibly shady name :p



Yes, but for the west, they were announced at their respective Pokemon World Championship events, right?
Click to expand...

Oh lol. Pokécon. :p But the name's not important.

This is a Japanese event, though.

But all of the Pokédexes are based on the handheld that the game is on. Pokémon paradox?

Yeah, well...
Actually, a worldwide, consolidated Pokemon event doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. Wanna pitch it to TPC? :p

Dark/Psychic/Fighting won't work, since Dark is immune to Psychic though...

Also, it just sounds too good, so yes, stopping now sounds like a good idea :p

Yeah, it's coming up fast.... Man, I'm pretty excited about this, hopefully it actually lives up to the hype that they created with the announcement.

I honestly don't see how there could be a snap on slide pad attachment that actually works, unless it uses the touch screen as its base.

Totally makes sense if it's a peripheral used for games like Monster Hunter where people would bother buying it. I doubt it would ever catch on as something for every game (see Zapper). Nor will it be built into the system... or will it? Nintendo would be crazy to do that.

Does the story say anything about how it technically works? Is it a touch screen type add-on?

Moar like Pokemon Stadium 3.

Japan had 3 Stadium games! The first PokéSta was never brought out in the west. That one didn't include all 150 PKMN so its all for the best. Though I always kinda wanted it anyway.

Is this guy credible? I still find it very hard to believe. I just don't know how they are going to make an addon that gives us another circle pad, unless it's something like that touch screen slide pad that the iPad has.

Which doesn't work on a resistive screen.
