Gen VIII (Pokemon for Nintendo Switch, coming 2018) will feature a lot of groundbreaking new stuff but will feature no new Pokemon. Not even one. You'll be able to pick from any of the 21 previous starters.This isn't a leak, just an educated guess.

Well then Gen VIII can go screw itself cause I want new Pokes in a new gen. If I wanted to use old mons I would go play old games

There would be no point in buying it. I wouldn't even pirate it.
>>32958321
New pokemon is what keeps people buying the new gens. What is a new gen without new species? If that happened won't be buying it.
Yeah... There's no point without new mons. This game has literally no replay value at this point, beyond the meta.
Having said that, this would surprise me exactly not at all.

Have you used all the pokemon in a playthrough, anon?
>>32958321
i know a lot of people wouldn't like it, but i'm totally fine with it, as long as it has a big pokedex and it has mostly later gen pokemon i would buy it.
i mean, new pokemon are exciting, but if you offer me a bunch of really cool new things, that to me is more exciting and fun.
>>32958321
People would play it and simply refuse to call it Gen 8 since there are no new pokemon. That's my guess.

>Not using all the new pokemon it's the reason enough to not be able to get new pokemon
>>32958629
that's not a valid argument as to why we can't get new pokemon. There's still plenty of designs/concepts that gamefreak could do for pokemon in gens to come.
OP here. Honestly I really hope they do this cause that would (hopefully) mean they put more work into everything else rather than having half the resources going into designing 70 shitty mons and half going into designing a shitty region and a half-assed plot.
I would be mad if we didn't get any new Pokémon .

Well I mean it would be a nice detail if it actually had a good plot like any decent RPG. But yeah I would love it if it had a huge world so I could replay it past the main plot.
GF is not going to ever take any sort of risk that big, especially with this game being essential to helping the Switch become a big success.
