New Pokemon is teased!

Edit: OR THREE! Thanks serplux!

POPCORN GET!

 

[-GJ-]

It's about time. Can't wait!

 

[serplux]

It looks like three of them will be revealed, from the teaser video. Also information yay.

 

[Bulbagarden]

It'll be interesting to see exactly how much new information we get, beyond that new Pokémon.

 

[Aquamarine]

OP, you just gave us an announcement of an announcement of an announcement.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Probably the last piece of information I'll see before media blackout.

 

[Seda]

Official Twitter fueling the hype as well.

 

[TheOGB]

I swear every time is "about time."

 

[ASTROID2]

B-b-but I want it this weekend.
I like going into new Pokemon games as blind as possible but I don't think I can resist.

 

[MasterSheen]

More Pokemans YES

 

[Sandfox]

So we'll probably be getting the info around 3 PST unless there's a leak or another Pokemon Direct.

 

[Persona7]

Official Twitter fueling the hype as well.

We are proud to announce a upcoming announcement!

 

[Diddy Kong]

Yahoo!

 

[IHaveIce]

Wow totally forgot about these games. Well let's seewhat they got

 

[Sandfox]

We are proud to announce a upcoming announcement!

They're doing it that way because they want people to tune in for Pokemon Smash next week.

 

[Santiako]

Still on #teameatchildren

 

[Tan]

Any pokemon news is good news. Bring it on.

 

[Perfect Blue]

*obligatory Nintendo Direct post here*

In all seriousness, I'm going to try and avoid all the media on these games this time.

 

[Brofield]

I was just thinking this morning they have been rather quiet on news for X&Y.

...and now that I think about it now, I wonder how far along they've coded the game.

Pseudo-OT general question: Would they program that games in sequence of in-game events, to make sure they don't affect one another too drastically? Or is game development (for Game Freak and for the rest of the industry) similar to movies; all done out of order then edited together in the end?

I think it'd be pretty neat to be a fly on the wall inside the offices of Game Freak.

 

[zroid]

oh god yes

 

[XenodudeX]

Why can't it be this weekend?

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

When he said Good Morning, I said "Hi Junichi!!! ^_^" It was really weird.

 

[MasterSheen]

This also makes up for the lack of CoroCoro news this month.

 

[Drago]

I hope the designs don't suck.

 

[axisofweevils]

I guess we can expect the long awaited Nintendo Direct then....

 

[Delio]

Omg Im so prepared!

 

[Salsa]

bout time

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I want to know a little more about the talent they brought in to build their first 3D game.

 

[Revven]

Hyped!

 

[zroid]

It's very interesting seeing the American arm of the Pokemon Company getting involved in the trickle teasing. This has never really happened before for obvious reasons.

 

[lazybones18]

.

 

[Village]

HYPE.

 

[Izayoi]

Fucking finally, goddamn. Talk about a drip feed.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Fucking finally, goddamn. Talk about a drip feed.

Seriously, I need to know which version has the cooler looking/more useful Pokemon now!

 

[fates]

Fucking finally, goddamn. Talk about a drip feed.

Probably because they revealed it so early. Well, comparatively early.

Anyway, looking forward to it.

... also looking forward to seeing what they do about trainers in battle. Please don't use the overworld models for that.

 

[Boney]

Fucking finally, goddamn. Talk about a drip feed.

but isn't it all more satisfying when they show it

 

[Sandfox]

I wonder if we're going to get a new pokemon announced at E3.

Probably because they revealed it so early. Well, comparatively early.

They announced it a bit early but Pokemon reveals have always been like this.

 

[javac]

October isn't that far away really. I can already feel the game in my hands...

 

[Drago]

I wonder if we're going to get a new pokemon announced at E3.

That would just be a waste of precious time

Actually I think Diamond & Pearl hold the record for the earliest; Munchlax was unveiled in May 2004, DP came out I think in Sept 2006?

True, though I was more talking about official showing of the game. Technically we could say Gold and Silver have the longest as Ho-oh showed up in episode 1 of the TV show.

That's true too.

Edit: The first episode aired on April 1st 1997, GS came out on Nov 21st 1999.

 

[Sandfox]

That would just be a waste of precious time

I think it depends on whether they get a seperate conference for the 3DS or not but even then Pokemon is big enough to deserve a few minutes to show off something new.

 

[lordfroakie]

Do we have to watch pokemon smash for the reveal?

April 1, 1997 (Anime beginning) - November 21, 1999 (Gold/Silver release)

May 2004 (Munchlax reveal) - September 28, 2006 (Diamond/Pearl release)

Gen IV was still longer.

Edit: Beaten like a rag doll.

I'm so oldddddd. I remember being there day and date for Pokemon's first episode as a 8 year old. I'm 23 now, what the hell.

 

[-Horizon-]

Next weekend? I don't think I can wait that long.

 

[Hero of Legend]

No, the news will pop up the SECOND it shows up.

Actually Gen II looks like it edges out a tad.

 

[Zee-Row]

Am I the only one excited to finally play Pokemon on a Nintendo handheld that has yet to be ruined by Action Replay or hacked?
