Pokemon sequel is under development for DS

What they need to do is make sure that more pokemon are competively viable. Why make a useless pokemon in the first place? I'm tired of the metagame being so polarized...

The press releases say an entire new adventure that will be 'reborn and innovative'. It's an entirely new game.
. . . Does it say "new generation/ pokemon/ something other then "advanture" "?
 
From what I've read on the links provided, this is clearly about the 5th generation.

Gpara's article says on the title "It's been 4 years!", and then says something about changes to gameplay and new monsters, from what I was able to understand.

And with all the Pokémon-Z rumors, I think it's pretty much confirmed.
 
I'm not surprised the next generation is going to be on the DS.

Pity it probably won't be much different than the first four generations. I'm sure the competitive battlers will be happy though.

I'm sure I'll import despite having not finished Soul Silver.

Says New series in the Pocket Monsters franchise. And mentions new Pokemon.
 
GaussTek said:
What? Where did you get that info?

I know the google translation is very vague but talks about "completely new series in development for release later this year 2010!", nothing to do with hiring.

Oh sorry, that info was from another thread. GF put up an job ad to hire a 3d artist a few months ago, around the time HG/SS came out in Japan I think. So now people are speculating that the next generation of Pokemon games will been more 3d-centric. We'll see.

God dammit.

I want to know how they plan on letting you trade those 500+ already existing Pokemon into gen 5. At least the old GBA ones had pal park, DS to DS trading is going to be a bitch to transfer your collection.

EDIT: Clarity

3D-centric, huh? I wouldn't object to 3D models, fugly as they would potentially be. Those Pokemon seriously need some more animation after 10 years.

I'm guessing it will be REALLY EASY with trading, being on the same system and all.
 
DR2K said:
Will it be another rehash or an entirely new type of RPG?
Really do you even have to ask? This will probably be somehow tied in with the DSi. Maybe some camera gimmick or something. Nintendo probably wants to move more DSis and what better way than to get every Japanese and American kid to buy 2 new pokemon games eh. All they need to do is add more pokemons and change a couple of minor things and it'll move units.
 
Another Pokemanz game. An rpg? Surprise, surprise.

IAMBEEFLESS said:
I don't think it's gen 5 at the moment. I have a feeling its the new pokemon ranger game...
Creatures Inc is making that one and there's already a bit of media out for it.

bjork said:
Sarcasm aside, Genius Sorority did that one.

Black-Wind said:
This could be something not much more then PMD . . . >_>
Chunsoft makes these, and the next PMD games are on Wiiware.

Probably something to coincide with the new movie, since it's supposedly also introducing new manz (like other movies before it).


On topic: Considering the quick turnaround from the last games, I doubt this will be anything too different from Gold/Silver remakes.

Also, even if they slack off at making the game, it'll still be a multi-platinum seller.

EDIT: Clarity

Even if trading remains as slow as ever (and its mainly to cut down on duping, just so you know) it takes around 3 minutes to trade six pokemon. It takes around seven to pal park and catch them, assuming you have everything set up. Once per day. Even if you were a super pokemon fan and had all 5 GBA games that's thirty pokemon, at max, per day. No limit on DS to DS.

Motherfucker, you'd better hope your understanding is correct cause if not i'd be one said panda...

I really hope GameFreak is implementing some changes to the gameplay.
 
Every 4 years people has been lately...

RS was in 2002
DP was in 2006
New Gen in 2010 =s

However, I am seriously surprised. I knew about DP back in 2004/2005 whenever it was revealed. (atleast I knew it back in like March 2005 or so)
 
Brazil said:
Fortunately we won't be seen one anytime soon. :P

The movie will probably star a new, never seen before Pokémon.
Ah. I remember seeing a picture on Serebii for some new plushies coming out for the Phantom Z movie that mentioned 2 possibly new Pokemon showing up in the film.

and fortunately? Haha, I wouldn't mind forgetting about Kanto and all that to start off anew with this series.
 
BTW the anime in Japan should be almost over. Ash has 7 badges and is about to get the 8th pretty soon. So unless they do another filler arc like Battle Frontier, Gen 5 should come out soon.

Oh maybe CoroCoro will have something new about this announcement in their next issue? Should come out Feb 15th
 
Black-Wind said:
Just googled . . . didn't notice that the 4th gen is 4 years old now. 0_o

Yeah, saw that the other day when I was getting my diamond battle box organized for HG/SS transfers.

Time really flies.
 
Roofy said:
wow this is a total bummer. i was looking forward to the thought of the next pokemon in a 3D environment

Most likely we will see the next console Pokémon game a bit later (for Wii). Hope they can add some rpg elements like Colosseum or XD.

Heh, I was thinking that Ash could go back to Johto for a season or something (HG/SS) :D
 
Hmm, guess the only surprise here is that they waited to announce the new games within a year of their release.

This fall will indeed be "right on time" for a japanese new generation release.
 
This is off topic but i'm really going out on a limb. I'm not really tech savvy and would really appreciate it if a kind soul could make a dragonite avatar for me . A simple sprite would do.
 
I wanted the 5th gen on DS2, oh well. This might be a good idea, release the first 2 games on DS then release the third one on the new hardware. Third one will be enhanaced in graphics and gameplay. It will also be a great incentive to purchase DS2 on the spot rather than wait. There has to be a connection between DS and DS2 tho for trading and stuff.
 
I don't think a new Pokemon generation would necessarily mean DS2 would be far off. Perhaps they wanted to milk the greatest system install base ever one last time, and DS2 will more likely than not be backwards compatible.
 
Okay I just translated it on Google.

Now that I have read it I really do believe this is the next generation of Pokémon games.

The funny translation says "A new game a new Pokemon. You will be reborn in all innovative!"
 
AwesomeSyrup said:
Heart Gold/Soul Silver and an all new Pokemon RPG on the DS in one year? Too much sexy for anyone to handle.
Technically HG/SS came out last year, and, seeing it from the other possible angle, the 5th generation will surely only come out in 2011.

Edit: Or to make it simpler for trading and other things, make DS2 BC.

Opps i just quoted myself rather than edit D:

Someone in the avatars' thread (it's a sticky in the front page) could probably help you out, or just pm me with a link to the image you want 90x120 avatarized.

Also a little tip: use the edit button instead of making three posts in 3 minutes, look at lyre's post above for reference. I'm just helping out since you're new.
 
I'm not nearly as excited for Gen 5 as I was for Gen 4. Maybe that'll change later this year when I *finally* get to play Gen 2 for the first time.

I think the realisation that I'd never "catch them all" finally caught up to me. I do want a few things though:

1) Faster battles, less text (i.e. just have a constant rain animation behind the background than text that says "It is raining")
2) Visible EVs (yeah, right)
3) New monster lines kept to a minimum. No more Rattata or Pidgey clones for each region. Instead, use existing ones in interesting ways.
4) Don't gimp rare or uncommon types (pure bug, pure flying etc.)
5) Faster breeding and simpler berry/consumables management
 
Slightly customizable heroes.

Pokemon has been a worldwide phenomenon, set in a realistic-ish world and a black person has yet to appear in any game... period?
 
I'm quite excited for a new Gen of games. Hopefully the Starters are interesting and cool looking. Cant belive it's been so long since D/P.

Why's that? It's really not that hard, especially now with the online trading/GTS. I've done it each gen so far, with the help of a friend or two each time, and with the help of the internet gen 4.

Yeah, my trainer in Pokemon Battle Revolution :lol

But seriously, most of the games take place in a sorta other-world take on japanese areas, so thats a reason. Now if this gen goes for the lets explore the world approach (like SMT Strange Journey did) then you might see a multi-racial cast.

EDIT: Just have to say, Canalave city night theme is cool.

I wonder what it'll be called. More gemstone names?
Well, they have all these to choose from

2008-093265 [Pokemon Red]
2008-093266 [Pokemon Green]
2008-093267 [Pokemon Blue]
2008-093268 [Pokemon Yellow]
2008-093269 [Pokemon Black]
2008-093270 [Pokemon Brown]
2008-093271 [Pokemon White]
2008-093272 [Pokemon Gray]
2008-093273 [Pokemon Scarlet]
2008-093274 [Pokemon Purple]
2008-093275 [Pokemon Crimson]

Seriously though, I hope it's called Pokemon Black. That just sounds like sex. You already know, by name alone, you're in for a big game.

The international versions of PBR let you change your trainer's skin color. That's the only one I can think of, though.

The way they talk about it makes it sound almost like a reboot.
Thats the feeling I got with the " press releases say an entire new adventure that will be 'reborn and innovative'. It's an entirely new game./ then says something about changes to gameplay" thing Vook &Brazil said.

"Reborn and innovative" . . . sounds different.
