>Generation VII is very short, based on the Nintendo 3DS's life cycle coming to a close andMarshadow being the only Mythical Pokémon datamined other than Magearna.
>Masuda is currently working on Generation VIII, which will release in 2018 on the Nintendo NX and return to an updated Kanto in the primary pair of games.
How would this make you feel if it was true?

Nostalgia can only go so far, and they already tossed us into Kanto over three times now with RGBY / GSC / HGSS, as well as put the original GB titles up on the VC with minor tweaks.
Name dropping Kanto like in the new demo is nice for nostalgia pandering, but it really is a boring region with nothing unique to it by this point, since GF keeps tossing throwbacks to the point that we even have Mewtwo being obtainable in a different region, and I'm almost positive that there are no longer Kanto exclusives.
Even stuff like Madden and CoD are not that creatively bankrupt, and they pride themselves on being familiar for pickup and play.

Don't forget FRLG.

>return to an updated Kanto
No. Pokemon is already rehashing too much, we don't need another rehash of a gimmick from 1999/2000.
>>29262757
I have no doubts that they'll do this but I hope they realize that they can't actually profit on genwunner nostalgia forever.
I hope this asshole and that 4-eyed bitch are fired after this abomination. We need fresh blood who can actually make the games and franchise better. They messed up two generations in a roll. Unforgivable.
I've had this same thought for a few weeks now. Masuda pretty much always directs the first gen on a new console. A Kanto remake on NX could potentially happen, but I could also see it being Gen 8 or something completely different altogether

Kanto is rehashed WAY too much. It's okay if they put a lot of effort to it but judging by Diglett and Geodude plus Persian's designs this game, where we forcefully swallowed their pandering, I don't think so. They have to do better than this shitty Alolan forms (not that I won't be using them btw).

>Sevii islands removed
>Only 150 Pokemon avaliable
>ORAS level of map design laziness
>Mewtwo now introduced withing the story and given for free on the 5th gym
>Legendary birds now have boosted catch rate and the puzzles you needed to complete to get to them are removed so you can have a more cinematic experience
>Gym leaders have 2/3 Pokemon, Elite 4 has 4
>Movesets are kept the same from RB for a more authetic experience
>Trainer level reduced by 5
>Exp share given at the start of the game
>It will sell over 10 million copies and have an above average metacritic score
You know it's happening
This would make me very very happy.
Happy enough to buy an NX?
Possibly.
It would be the perfect time to make a new kanto game, not a remake or reboot but make it an actual follow up to Gen 1's kanto.

That ruins the dream man.
I wish they could take those suggestions and do the entire opposite of them.
Take away exp share, increase trainer levels, increase trainer, gym leader and elite 4 pokemon team numers, add more puzzles, make the map design better, etc.
