>Jared poster was right again
Holy fuck I'm hype now. New gens always have the best hype seasons. Sequels, third versions, and remakes need to be eviscerated

For all we know the Switch game could be 3D HD Kanto remakes and not a true "Gen 8"

>>32845750
I wanna know..

are you guys saving up, or are you just dropping the series

>>32845757
Sequels are fine too.

>>32845761
Jeez, you denialfags love to deny.

If Reggie is saying it i wouldn't trust it. We are talking about the guy who said the Wii has a long bright future and then the year after he said that bam Wii u announced

>another rushed game
>and it's for a new console
I'll wait for third version/remakes.

>>32845777

2018 is too fucking early for a new gen

>>32845788
Gen 7 is almost over anon. Why else would they announce a new game on a new console right now?

>>32845761
>>32845788
Its on a new console with a new engine. How the fuck would it not be a new gen? Because it doesn't follow "muh patterns!!!"?

John Gamefreak here, they're Kanto sequels

Lillie has a major NPC role, while the anime will be about her quest

Ash will still be present as her companion and will play a Brock-esque mentor role to her as she challenges the Kanto gyms

>>32845764
I'll have to wait and see.
I pirated Moon and kinda enjoyed the game to the end, but I know I avoided a buyer's remorse by not paying for that.

>>32845757
>make half assed unfinished new gen game
>dont refine it or condense it into one consistent game like Emerald or Plat
>instead every new game has to introduce mysteries and unresolved plot points

kys

>>32845790

>Anime literally just passed the 30 episode mark

If it was a new gen, it'd end up being even more rushed than XYZ was, a year is not enough time to wrap everything up

>>32845788
It's not too early. Gen 5 was 2 years in most of the world
>>32845757
This is going to be the best hype season. Back to One screen, first HD Pokémon games, new region, and new Pokémon

>>32845787
>implying it will not be USM "enhanced" version

>SM, USM and gen 8 all 1 year apart from eachother
it's gonna be a rushed steaming turd and I'm gonna be laughing at all of you when it comes out

Reminder there is no more room for Gen VII after USUM and they've already planned for an early Gen VIII

>think they'd announce a new gen before USM are even out

idiots

>>32845814
If Masuda is director it ain't rushed.

He hasn't directed a Pokemon game since 2013. He could have easily been planning and let omhori take gen7 as filler

>>32845820
Yeah that's why they didn't give any titles fuckface

Also unfriendly reminder that hypefags are cancer

>>32845809
You'd be surprised how they can half-ass an ending while not even tying up a single loose plot end.

They're probably already cobbling up ideas for Gen 8 now, and yes, it's going to be even more a rushed shitfest than XY and you'll love it

>>32845764
I already have a switch. Just save for one if don't have one. You don't even have to play the games at launch. You still have a year to buy one

>>32845820
Did you not fucking watch E3? Gen 7 was filler anyways so it's not like it really matters.

>>32845764
Never got a 3DS, I'll be getting back into the series with Switch.

>yum give me another rushed piece of shit game freak i love it so much
>thinking they'd announce Gen 8 literally less than a half a year after Gen 7 released

gen 8fags are fucking retarded

Yay, more rushed games!

>>32845809
Gen 7 is literally filler and that goes double for the ashnime. They have every reason to end it early especially since the 3DS is at the end of its life. I'd go so far as to predict Spring 2018 for Gen 8.

>>32845845

>Gen 7 was filler

you're gonna need a source for this, and no, your ass is not a valid one

It's already way passed the idea stage. We have know they were in development for a while. The job listings from march suggest the games are estimated to be finished by may 2018

>>32845851
>implying I want a rushed piece of shit
>implying Gen VIII isn't just the by far most realistic outcome

>>32845845
Funny cause people said the same thing about gen 6 in regards to gen 7

>>32845788
people also said that it was impossible we'd only get two sets of games in gen V

Guess what fucking happened.

>>32845870
Gen 6 seems like a normal gen. Gen 7 seems just like a anniversary gen

>>32845862
Sure, pal.

>>32845764
saving up, of course.

If I was going to drop the series because of having to buy new hardware, I would have dropped it long ago.

>>32845862
The dsi xl got released when the 3ds was already announced( Or close before it)

>>32845878
Gen 7 is just the equivalent of gen 5. Same console, has a game with sequels of the games

>>32845794
Hilariously, in order for it to fit their "gens must be 3 years" pattern, they're willing to break the "every new system since the GBA has started with a new gen"

>>32845851
>implying nu-GF's standard protocol isn't rushing though games
>gen7fags in this much denial
Gen 7 is nearly over mate, get over it.

>>32845851
Are you the retarded one?

They only mentioned its existence because of backlash from the Direct. You can bet they wouldn't have mentioned its existence until January if it wasn't for that.

>gen 6 rushed
>gen 7 rushed
>gen 8 most likely rushed too
GF needs some kind of wake-up call or this will come crashing down on them eventually. Didn't their profits go up by like 2600% last year? Do they really need to rush releases?

But there's no way it won't be a new gen, right?
...right?

>>32845862
>What was the Wii mini
The 3DS is about to die, anon. It's been out for a good 6 years, nearly 7, and people are hyped for the Switch. They can only milk it so much when there's new console hype they need to take advantage of, so naturally we'll get another beta/rushed entry most likely. Since the Switch wasn't as underpowered as the 3DS, there's a little hope. Though if Gens 6 or 7 were any indication, Game Freak has gotten drunk with power and just shits out yearly releases for profits now.

The only games getting rushed is USM.

1 year development time after sun and moon.

BW2 and platinum was 2 years after there originals and emerald was 2 years after r/s

>>32845916
They could spend ten years on it and it will still be "rushed"

>>32845921
generation introduction games always sell the best, and that's why they never start a new system off mid-gen or such. Even gen I pandering doesn't beat it, FRLG sold less then RS, iirc.

With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if we got both DP and RG remakes after the gen 8 games.

>>32845929
Emerald was six months after FRLG

>>32845916
Reminder that DiaPer's release was delayed for a year and the games still managed to be a heaping pile of shit.

>>32845952
Yeah but 2003 was off year

>>32845964
2003 they were busy with FRLG. Like 2001 was busy with RS.

>>32845750
I appreciate that he phrased that the new Yoshi game was only "intriguing" rather than "exciting" like the others. Yoshi's Island was my jam growing up, and the newer entries are just too slow and boring, it doesn't feel right. I wish they would just take the original game or the GBA port and just make like 200 new levels for it. I'd gladly shill out 60 bucks for that, especially if it was a physical game (though hopefully with an actual d-pad in a new version of the Switch instead of those Godawful buttons)

>>32845761
genuinely wouldn't be surprised.

>>32845750
>literally
No, that's not clear enough at all

People need to stop trying to desperately find ways to prove it's coming in 2018. If the game was coming out in 2018, they would have said so. Kirby and Yoshi specifically said 2018 in their trailer, and the Pokemon announcement even made it clear that the release date is uncertain.

>>32846015
>>32846015
The difference between Pokemon and metroid and Kirby and yoshi.

Is Pokemon and metroid have 3ds games releasing this and they may not want to cut into the sales of those. If they announced 2018 then idk how many people will buy those 3ds instead of just saving up for switch


Why didn't they say for metroid and Pokemon but not animal grossing or smash they could have easily in development tag too

>>32845820
Remember that Nintendo announced FE15, a 3DS remake for 2017, and FE16, a Switch title for 2018 in the same Direct.

>>32845764
I'll buy a switch near release since I'll be buying the console for Pokemon alone

Maybe we'll get a Pokemon Switch pack

>>32845809
You never saw the pace of a normal anime?
They can do that right, you're too used to the shitty marketing pacing of the anime where they fuck up the planning.

>>32845915
>implying "rushed"

>>32845750
I was planning to buy one anyway. I haven't bought a console since the original 3DS was released.

>>32846015
>The response to what we've showcased, and it really is just a small tip for 2018, has been exceptionally positive.
>You've got fans seeing Metroid Prime 4, hearing that Mr. Tanabe, who's been involved in all of the Metroid Prime games, is going to be at the helm of that, the fans are tremendously excited. To hear that there's going to be a core Pokémon RPG experience on the Nintendo Switch, the fans are incredibly excited
>So just by showcasing those four games, and giving a little bit of a taste, yeah there's a lot of excitement to what 2018 can hold

Reading comprehension goes a long way

>>32845750
So USM is worth the time filler. Good.

Can't wait for new gen's teaser late next year.

Link to article https://waypoint.vice.com/en_us/article/43yzpm/nintendo-explains-why-they-didnt-focus-on-indie-games-at-e3

GameFreak, like most Western publishers, wants to establish a shorter dev cycle with faster releases.

For XY, they invested a lot of money into streamlining the dev process: a scalable engine, easy creation tools, new staff, and most notably the high-poly, reusable models and animations.

Other evidence of this: fewer Pokemon per generation and more reused Pokemon (to stretch out ideas over as many generations as possible and to have all Pokemon appear in the anime in shorter time), removal of the National Pokedex in favor of Pokemon Bank being your "link" between games, poor performance in the 3DS games due to the engine being "future proof", and obviously the short time between XY, SM and now the Switch games.

This is the reality of the situation and mirrors what tons of other franchises are doing: biannual mainline releases with "off year" games by B-teams using the assets from the last mainline release, and we might even see those mostly replaced by remakes and DLC for the main games.

>>32846285
I don't know why they even needed to say this. The obvious reason is because they pushed indies really hard on Wii U but your average gamer doesn't give a fuck. It was great for Wii U owners but nobody got hyped to buy a console for indie games, they want Metroid and Zelda and Smash Bros.

You fuck off.

Anyone who's trying to argue "oh it's not a confirmed gen 8, it could be Kanto" is delusional. The first outing of Pokemon on switch will not be a retread. It'll be gen 8.

Screen cap if you want, either way I'll be passing on drinking your tears when gen 8 is out, I'm not about to drink the tears of whiny little bitch anons who can't even simple logic

>>32846353
Pokemon is eternally shit on the 3DS. The Switch is our only hope of the games being beyond average again.

>>32845954
>Implying SM was rushed, but XY wasn't

fuck right off

I know people saying. Anime is a long way from ending.

The TCG is getting blown threw fucking quickly. Necrozma and marshadow packs are soon to be available. Next month and fall

Idk what there gonna release next year unless USM has new Pokemon

TRIPS OF TRUTH

>>32845794
>How the fuck would it not be a new gen?

Sun/Moon played to Nostalgia. Imagine the nostalgia if you got a HD game focused around the Gen 1 Pokemon, fly a Charizard in the sky, etc...

>>32846453
After gold and sliver vc

The 3ds can play every single game except gen 3 and crystal

Switch can't play any 3ds, ds or gba games so makes to remake some games

>>32846453
>Imagine the nostalgia if you got a HD game focused around the Gen 1 Pokemon, fly a Charizard in the sky, etc...
Its called genwunner pandering, which is what I assume you are. Its literally in almost every new Pokemon game. X and Y being the worst examples of it. It'll Gen 8, as with every new console's first core Pokemon title is a new gen. Plain and simple.

>>32846510
Yeah, but they should focus on generation 8 first

>>32846546
It's weird people think a company can't be working on multiple games at once

Square enix is making 12 games at once I bet.

>>32846453
People have been sure we'd be getting gen 1 reremakes for awhile.

I recall they said we'd absolutely get Kanto remakes in gen 6 because of all the gen 1 pandering in XY

I recall they said we'd absolutely get it on the 20th anniversary.

and now people say they're absolutely sure they'll open with them in the Switch

When will people learn they gen 1 pander without literally using Kanto itself?

>>32846562
We know they are making more than one game at once. The switch games and usm(which are probably finished).

>>32846574
Finally someone reasonable

>>32845764
I'll pick up a Switch if it's a new Colosseum or gen 8. Or any game with compatibility to gen 7 really.

If they drop backwards compatibility? I'm out.

>>32846636
As much as I love Pokemon, dropping backwards compatiblity would be crushing. I can't say for sure I wouldn't play, but chances are good

>>32845862

It's old and outdated.

>>32846636
>>32846654
I wouldn't be surprised if Bank was created for exactly this.

Lets say they can't get the Switch and 3DS to communicate, as they've only shown it working for online, not local. You wouldn't be able to transfer in the traditional way, or if the data was stored on your 3DS, but if its stored on a cloud server? Simply deposit the Pokemon into the cloud via the 3DS app, and then withdraw it using the Switch app.

>>32845764
>saving up
>starts saving a year in advance to spend $300
Really that low on neetbux, Anon?

681KB, 1050x1359px

Do you think the cost if the switch will have decreased by the time it comes out?

>>32846636
>>32846654
Why do mean by compatibility? Being able to transfer the 3ds Pokémon to the switch games or being able to play ds and 3ds games on the switch?

>>32846741
I think that is what they meant about having bank lasting for generations and generations

>>32846745
If it keeps selling as it is, I don't think they'll be a price drop, especially if its a 2018 release. But the longer its out, the easier and cheaper it'll be to get refurbished consoles. And then there's also the chance of a revised version that either costs less then the original version, or causes the original to drop in price.

>>32846741
Masuda said this in Pokemon direct in September 2013.

It's a cloud storage for future generations and systems

>>32846796
They really need to make it compatible for gen4 too, I'm sick of moving gen4>5. They're making it compatible for virtual console, it's already compatible with gen5/6/7, I don't see valid reason (except developer time/money, which isn't valid) to extend it to gen4.

>>32846944
meant "to NOT extend it"

>>32846776
Fingers crossed it goes down to $200
I can only find it for $400

>>32846353
That's only from morons still in denial that the Switch is the new handheld and the 3DS is slowly going to be abandoned.

Yeah, they said it wasn't replacing the 3DS, but they also said the DS wasn't replacing the GBA.

>>32846353
Yes, the fans are incredibly excited

underage retards who don't know how console shifts work are the only ones upset.

>>32845786
100% different.

He couldn't say "yeah, new console coming soon, don't buy our product." In this case, he's talking about a game without promising much of anything.

well, considering that they hired people just a few months ago, i would say this either started development late 2016, like 2 months before SM were released, or early 2016, i wouldn't expect anything too big, probably we will get the same quality that SM had.

>>32847710
Late 2015, early 2016 is my bet. They usual have two teams working on projects at the same time. One for new gen games and another for remakes/third versions. Because we know that one team has been working on USUM, its safe to say that the other has been working on Gen 8 since new console dev kits get sent out well in advance

>>32845813
UUSUUM

>>32846112

Marketing is the whole fucking point though, they can't get the island trials, the Aether/Ultra Beast arcs, and Lillie's character development done AND showcase off every new Pokemon in a year, it's literally impossible to get all of that done in a year without it being an even bigger rushed piece of shit than XYZ was

>>32845811
Back to one screen is going to go down in gaming history as one of the biggest if not the biggest shitstorms and will likely be the main talking point if the execution is not near perfection. Dual screen Pokemon has been so ingrained into everyones brains and has been around longer then single screen, so its definitely one of the bigger talking points for me.

>>32845764
>Not already owning a Switch

Are you retarded, or just a poor nigger? Maybe both?

>>32846353
