I always forget that the US got a Pokemon game for six straight years before 2015. No wonder this has felt like a long wait. I think it's the constant teases has something to do with it too (same reason it was tough to wait for smash 3ds/wii u). On the flip side, as there has been very little info on Zelda U, the wait hasn't been that bad.

Dunno if we can take it at face value, but the Verge article announcing the Twentieth Anniversary stuff reckons we aren't getting a new mainline game at all this year.

Not to disrespect but...
I'd argue his shit are the things people hate in the anime and I'm glad he's far away from the anime.
Ash as Nobita? Check. Ash not having powered mons? Check. Team Rocket as Doronbo Gang? Check.
I feel like that line is more about how it is yet to be announced.
SUPER BOWL AD HYPE!!!! (if true)
For the Verge to be correct they would have to ignore the Animé which is currently focusing on Zygarde and his forms and the fact that Volcanion was recently shown off.
In other words we're totally getting a main series game this year and the writer knows nothing about Pokémon and how the games is released.
Yeah Ash during the Kanto and Jotho arc had an underdeveloped team, It took till Sinnoh for him to have an awesome team.

should be not much different from the original Red nendo
the only way is to import :<
have a feeling that it will be Pokemon Store/Center exclusive in Japan & GoodSmile Online store exclusive for SEA like other Pokemon nendos
It lasts the month.
You could drop by on weekends or something.
My university is in the middle of nowhere and I don't have a car. Hopefully I'll be able to figure something out with my brother or a friend to get it though.

Pokémon channel put up how the UK is celebrate Pokémon 20th
Compare to the US it's pretty lame and underwhelming. Not impressed at all.
Yeah if I want it I will have to import it, which is pricey.

god damnit pokemon company i need to get that red Nendoroid pokemon company there better be a way for me to get it
How quickly does it usually go out of stock? Am I going to have to be on full alert for the next month lol.
The original Red lasted like 2 weeks.
Cynthia and N are still up.

i dont know but i remember red going some what fast last time,i feel like this one is going to go even faster because of the final starter evos
Ok that's good. I was worried it might be like an early amiibo deal where if you are out when it's put up you'd be in trouble. Even so I'm going to keep my eye out for this.

Still not that a lot of catching up, so the gap is still close.
What Strongest Mega Evolution is the dub now?

Ah they've already aired it? I find it weird though since Act IV directly connects to XYZ1

If Z not being announced was puzzling before, it's outright baffling now. Where the hell is it?
Also, the year-long Mythical distribution may well deconfirm that theory that we were going to get Mega Mew in the Volcanion movie.

They might not want Z to overshadow the other announcements.

yeah pretty much, i'm willing to bet that we will see Z at some point after red, blue, green and yellow come out on the eshop
Do note that they're hyping Pokémon Day. That's as good a day as any to reveal stuff.
Fun fact, four years ago, Black 2 & White 2 were revealed the day before Pokémon Day.
That really is such a stretch man.
Let's all just remember that they are not going to miss two calendar years without a main series game. Especially as Yo-kai Watch exists.

I wonder if Google will have Doodle for when Pokémon turns 20?
Z looks like its' spooning Y with X going "What the hell man?"
"Pokémon Z" announcement will be a big thing, so better to hold it back so it doesn't overshadow the other news.
When is Pokémon Day?
They might as well, since the 20th celebration was US centric.

ehhhhh not buying another Red nendo here
especially since Red looks exactly the same
That would certainly be something.Looking forward to seeing the first Gen 7 Pokémon revealed in Pokémon Day!
Have they shown the opening in English yet? Or a trailer or anything?

I just don't understand why they would explicitly hype up the games coming out in the twentieth anniversary, and then not mention the centrepiece.
It would have overshadowed the other announcements if it was announced today, that much is true, but that just means they should have announced it beforehand.

Why not? American ad with a followup trailer worldwide is possible. We had announcements in Japanese with a trailer for the west following before.

I don't think Ash having underpowered mons is his fault at all. If anything, he's the one responsible for making Team Rocket as beloved as they are. All of your other complaints should go to the other staff. The episodes he did write were pretty damn good.
I think it would make most sense for the super bowl ad to have a big focus on Go. That's a huge audience watching, many of who would probably be willing try out a free download if they heard about it.
Depends on when Go will launch though I guess. Then again, the reveal trailer came out of nowhere and that spread around just fine.

No release date for the Champion Red figure?
I love the use of all the starters for the 20th anniversary logo. Hypothetically, if we were getting Gen 7 this year, it would have been cool to leave three missing spaces in the logo to be filled in later with the Gen 7 starters upon announcement.
