New Pokemon Games to be Announced Next Week

TV Tokyo has posted the summary for the episode of Pokémon Smash, a variety show that covers all aspects of the franchise, due to air next week on Sunday 18th of September. In this summary, it mentions that Pokémon Game Creator, Junichi Masuda is set to appear on the show with a massive shock announcement.While it is possible that the announcement could be unrelated to a new game such as the reveal of Keldeo or the other new Pokémon, his announcements in the past similar to this have ended up being new games. This follows on from Pokémon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara hinting that there are more surprises coming this year. If it is a game announcement, it's possible that the reveal of this game will be in CoroCoro, which is due any day now and/or in Nintendo's special 3DS conference in Japan on Tuesday morning. We'll bring more on this, including confirmation on the announcement as and when it comes.TVToky

This sounds really interesting. Masuda has never announced a spin off game before, and he only takes the stage to announce mainline Pokemon games (such as HeartGold/SoulSilver and Black/White). Are we looking at an announcement of a possible Pokemon Grey? Maybe Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire remakes? Or maybe, even better, the sixth generation of Pokemon?

Whatever it is, a new mainline Pokemon game, in addition to Monster Hunter, Mario Kart and Super Mario will make the 3DS an unstoppable force.

Ruby/Saphire remake, please oh please! I will have to start saving for a 3DS!

I still haven't picked up black again.

Ooh please let it be something good. :)

It's either a the long-awaited Pokemon MMO or another rehash.

Question is, it's it's for the 3ds, how will they be able to get it to communicate with past pokemon games?Shinobishyguy

Pokemon Gray as a 3DS exclusive, announced at the September 15th conference. Calling it now.

I hope its Ruby/Sapphire remakes because I like playing games I've already played before.

A new mmo would be nice too.

Pokemon Milky-Grey with a touch of lime. I hope it's an MMO, i'd buy any console to have that game as long as it works well.JohnF111

Don't want main Pokemon game on a failing system, sorry. I'd be ok if its a remake, snap, or pinball but please no gen 6 or grey.

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] Well, the 3DS can communicate fully with the DS and all its games wirelessly. Maybe it'll be like how Pokemon Gold/Silver communicated with Pokemon Red/Blue.nintendoboy16

Funny thing is, the minute a main Pokemon game hits the 3DS, its fortunes do a complete 180.

Sugimori stated, "I am interested in strong visual effects. However, I believe that Pokémon is most appropriate for portable consoles."

Masuda then chimed in, "I'm really not thinking about having the main Pokémon games on the Wii, because using portable consoles means you can always carry Pokémon around with you and you can play with other players, so that's the future I'd like to emphasize."

That is where the quote is from.

Pokemon does good numbers on any handheld system but come on.... This franchise is not the saving grace for the 3DS.

Ooooh snap.

Pokemon is the 2nd best selling video game franchise with 200+ million copies sold world-wide.

If that isn't a system seller, I don't know what is.

Handheld franchise? Pokemon isn't exclusive to handhelds and you're right about it being a killer seller, but it still can't save the 3DS.
