This will be true Gaf server breaking Megaton

The true server breakdown will be Pokemon Racing 2

Why am I staying up till 5 a.m. again? I'm so damn tired

Our overlord Arceus shall tend to his devoted flock though, and see that their loyalty is well rewarded with some glorious rest after the announcement of his next venture to our unworthy mortal Earth

New Game Freak Gen VI mainline Pokemon 3DS exclusive for a 2013 release worldwide.

That's why. Just 50 more minutes.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

One hour until Pokemon Pinball 3.

I would seriously be okay with this.

 

[TheCongressman1]

So, who is expecting any substantial news, such as a new mainline game?

I can't say I do, but I hope so.

 

[The Awesomest]

I don't know, Dark would be at too big of an advantage against Psychic. Although I guess it could be a hard mode of sorts.

Except that Dark is IMMUNE to Psychic. Too powerful for a starter.

How often do you fight your rival, really? By the time their Pokemon can actually utilize their immunity from your attacks you've probably got like two other Pokemon that could fight it.

Masuda seems to be

 

[fisheyes]

Australian Starter Trio.

One day there really needs to be a Pokemon region based on Australia. Half our actual animals might as well be Pokemon, anyways.

I'd say about 99.9% of the people here.

The only one who isn't is that fellow in the corner, and we'll be "dealing" with them soon enough [to make it a nice 100%].

Jun'ichi Masuda, the director of every "core" Pokemon title since the Red / Blue / Yellow days, is really excited about this announcement and made a blog post about it. I checked every post on his blog, and he only posts about really big titles that Game Freak develops. He hasn't made a single post about any spinoff.

 

[Thoraxes]

My dreams.

Sequel.

 

[EVIL]

My dreams.

Sequel.

that game was serious fun

 

[chrono01]

My dreams.

Sequel.

You might be joking, but I remember having a lot of fun with that on the GBC.

 

[zroid]

You TCG fans are the worst

 

[Ashodin]

They did have a sequel, it never came over here

Oh I am serious.

That's good to hear. The moment of truth is soon upon us, so we shall see.

 

[Boss Doggie]

If they're gonna have one based on Australia I want one city where candies is the main theme.

 

[Aquamarine]

One of the greatest tragedies in all of gaming. I would have loved to see the sequel to the brilliant Hudson-developed TCG.

 

[Rubius]

My dreams.

Sequel.

Well its already out. Here, http://www.pokemontcg.com/welcome

Sunny weather in effect like 80% of the time and random chance of Pokemon being Burnt every turn.

 

[chrono01]

Very nice, I'm happy to meet another fan. >

I still have my copy, actually. I remember spending a lot of time with it [and I've never played the "actual" TCG]. It was pretty addictive. I'd actually love to see a version for the 3DS, even if only as a downloadable title.

 

[Forkball]

Oh I am serious.

That game was awesome.




;_;

I put 100 hours into that game.

I feel that gen 5 was really gen 4.5 so I want to see what big changes they make.

Oh god, don't even say that. If they actually did a worldwide release I'd be able to conjure the fortitude to not spoil every damn detail about the game before I had it. And by "conjure the fortitude" I mean "I wouldn't be physically able to". And it would be great.

 

[stktt]

I can order a black DSi with pokemon black for $129. I might just do that and play the game on its intended system. I've been dying to go back and play the Advance Wars games as well

If you can save up or find a good deal, I would really recommend buying a 3DS XL. DS games look great in 1:1 mode and you wouldn't have to worry about purchasing one later on.

 

[BishopLamont]

It won't be the next mainline game.

My dreams.

Sequel.

Now this is something more realistic and desirable.

 

[SuperAngelo64]

One of the greatest tragedies in all of gaming. I would have loved to see the sequel to the brilliant Hudson-developed TCG.

Was the music just as good? I hated the original, but loved the OST.

 

[EVIL]

so what are we expecting? Pokemon U? or for the 3DS? or maybe as the laatest trends go with "big announcements" pokemon for IOS?

 

[outunderthestars]

I would consider it, but I really dislike the way 3ds games look on the larger screen.

It's a 3DS announcement, for sure.

Something for the 3DS, developed by Game Freak, most likely Pokemon Gen VI with 3D models replacing sprites.

 

[elektrixx]

Was Kanto ever referenced as such before Gold/Silver?

 

[kittens]

ONE HOUR LEFT OMG



Yeah the only time you need to use HM was using Cut once, as well as Strength in Victory Road. Otherwise you can progress without fear.

With that said side-areas require Surf, Waterfall, Cut and Strength.

That's AWESOME! I hope they phase them out entirely, though. They add nothing to the gameplay. There was some degree of novelty in seeing your Pokemon use moves outside of battle in the Blue/Red days, but that novely is vastly shadowed by inconvience and tediousnes.

 

[outunderthestars]

I'm personally hoping for a Pokemon Snap game for 3DS or Wii U.

The world is ready for a new Pokemon Snap!

 

[stktt]

I would consider it, but I really dislike the way 3ds games look on the larger screen.

Playing them in 1:1 mode on an XL is about the same size as a DSi. I hate the way DS games look on the regular 3DS, but they're fine on the XL.

I'll agree with this, but it really depends on how interested he/she is in 3DS games.

The 3DS is likely to get another price-drop in the next year or so [in addition to more titles being released, probably around Christmas] with a possibility of a revamped battery [among other things]. If he/she's purely interested in Pokemon Black/White 1/2, the DSi + a copy of the game might be the better option. But then, as you said, a 3DS would enable them to play Pokemon Black/White 1/2 now, as well as the [hopeful] Pokemon Generation VI [for the 3DS].

The latter might be the best option, if just to gain access to both DS and 3DS.

Revamp them. Make them just require your lead Pokemon to be the one that can "use" the HM temporarily to do whatever you need. You need to Surf? Put a water pokemon in the lead. You need strength? Switch 'em over. No need to overwrite moves.

Works for me.

It is.

But it doesn't have Imakumi!

 

[Bulbagarden]

Looking forward to an incredibly busy night for Bulba. I expect this will be the first real stress test of our servers in a long while. Bulbapedia and Bulbanews should be fine, the wikis are on cloud hosting and increasing capacity for them is automatic. Our forums on the other hand are hosted separately on a traditional server...might be stretched a bit. Oh well, we'll see.

 

[PurpleMaster]

It may seem like a stupid question, but what does the timer say on this page?
http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/important_announce/
I'm actually seeing 8:30 hours left, but something seems to be wrong...

 

[Darryl]

i suppose if pokemon rainbow was real, the view source would've listed wii u as it promised a downloadable title or something

hype shattered

 

[Nilaul]

Pokemon Rainbow is starting to seem likely.
I wonder if the rumored Draconeon will look like this:

Cute

Anything less then Gen VI would be disappointing.

 

[Boss Doggie]

30 mins!

Anyway to spend some time who's your most favorite Pokemon.

Only one, no multiple favorites.

Mine is Braviary.

 

[Busaiku]

10 minutes means it's gonna be huge.

 

[Meatvillain]

One hour until Pokemon Pinball 3.

You're telling me I missed a second Pokemon Pinball game!? Devastated.

 

[Tsunamo]

I'm actually seeing 8:30 hours left, but something seems to be wrong...

The timer there is based on your computers clock. The actual Pokemon Direct happens in (roughly) 33 minutes.
