6th Gen Third Version Speculation

[Pokemon_Hero]

Just look what is going on in the Japanese official site

https://www.pokemon.co.jp/

Pretty huge. Most likely it's a very big game

Both PKMN Directs were main series focused (Unless they reveal a new Rumble game....)

There were 2 pokemon directs? Because I remember only one. The BW game didn't have a direct.

@willprogresivo: And no offense dude... but you've been coming off as kind of rude, like you're talking down on us because our speculation doesn't fit with what you think.

Your speculations are retarded, that's why. You can literally claim "oh, I think Nintendo will release 20 new Pokèmon games, because it's the 20th anniversary", and it wouldn't make any sense. People claimed Gray would come out, it didn't. Saying Z will is the same thing.

I see no evidence of a new game, however I do see evidence of GO. All I know is FACTS: Pokèmon GO was announced and it's CLEARLY the next-step for Nintendo. They announced they'd get in the smartphone market and shortly after GO was announced. If you ask anyone "hey, what's the next Poèmon game from Nintendo??" the answer is "GO", not "they haven't announced a new game yet".

Ok guys, Bulbapedia provided this helpful link on their Twitter feed for anybody wanting to know their local time for the Direct:

https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Pokemon+Direct&iso=20160226T15&p1=136&am=5

Just click on it, and your converted time should automatically show up.

Also yeah, this is without a doubt main series related. The last time they had a Pokemon Direct, X/Y was revealed in it. I missed that one live, so I'm gonna make sure that I watch this one(8 AM my time).

Wow, you act like you work for GF and simply think you're smarter than all of us by stating things that is only in your own perspective. WE ALL KNOW it won't be called "Z" nor don't even know if we will even see a 7th Gen or still the last game(s) of 6th Gen. and it also states GO will connect to the main series games in some way, why wouldn't they announce a new main games that will CONNECT with GO?

I don't think they are gonna make yet another Gen 1 remake. I just don't see it happening with them bringing Red/Blue/Yellow back out.

And I seriously doubt they would reveal Gen 1 remake, a day before the originals were rereleased. I would think that would be a bad marketing strategy.

I think the same way. Even if it's a new game but just set in Kanto, it's still odd. Kanto would have to be drastically different for that to work out. Otherwise, it would be like them saying, "Hey guys! Tomorrow you can buy the very original, outdated and glitchy Pokémon games for $10 each...or you can wait a few months and get them all nice and shiny and up-to-date!"

5 minutes is long enough to reveal a new game. I wouldn't look too far into it. The Direct when XY was revealed was like 11 minutes but the XY part was like 2 or 3 minutes of the direct, the rest was talking about the history of Pokemon. Also, Gamefreak is heavily promoting the direct, when they aren't in charge of Pokken and spinofss so I slightly doubt it will be on anything like that. Who knows? Guess we have to wait until Feb. 26th at 7 am PST.

Yeah, they really only need anywhere from 30 seconds (for a very minor reveal trailer) to a full minute (for something a bit more extensive). I definitely agree that the length of it probably doesn't need to be too much of a concern, but it does make me wonder what they'll be doing/showing for the other 4/4.5 minutes.

They could actually throw in one or two extra spin-off trailers in it, actually, if they were all short enough. Unless they intend all 5 minutes to be dedicated to the reveal, in which case, wow, will there be a lot to analyze and speculate over!

Calling people retarded huh? Wow I suggest you delete that comment buddy. Pretty dickish of you to use petty insults just because people don't agree with you. GO is not a Nintendo game. It is Pokemon app made by GameFreak. Only difference between it and the Dream Rader is it a phone app. Everyone else is being a lot more logical than you are. It is obvious you have just joined so I take it you are one of those people who join forums to ruffle feathers and once you are called out you vanish.

I don't act like anything other than someone who hasn't seen any evidence to back-up claims of future releases. Go is the only thing Nintendo's releasing as of now. STOP over-thinking this.

GO has nothing to do with Nintendo of Europe or Nintendo of France, America and Germany.

Why would Nintendo call us to watch a direct of a Smartphone game?

 

[MarinoKadame]

I will be pissed off if it's a 7th Gen game. Because Gen 6 was one of the weakest made in my opinion.

I don't want to visit Kanto for a 5th time too, we got enough Kanto with Red/Blue/Green/Yellow, Gold/Silver/Crystal, FireRed/LeafGreen and HeartGold/SoulSilver.

A sequel or a third game will fix most of the stuff XY missed.

Technically you only visited it twice since the remakes are just that remakes not new games. Besides all game series have at least one weak game. I would not be shocked if GF decides to just be random and for the first time skip another game in a new gen. With that said we have less than 48 hours to find our the real answer. Either way whatever is shown some fans will be disappointed.

it could be 7th gen with north kalos revisit like gen2..
Considering every legendary is obtainable from gen6 mostly from ORAS..

Thank you, really. This is exactly how I feel.

I mean, yeah, I'll buy the upcoming game no matter what, and I'll be happy that we're finally getting a new game. But...

Really, I'll just be so, so sad if they just drop Kalos the way it is. It's got so much potential, especially story-wise. It really wouldn't be hard after a two-year period to fine-tune the narrative and add in substantial gameplay content.

And I'm also getting rather...bored with Kanto, to put it kindly. It doesn't help that whenever Johto is involved Kanto is an obligatory addition, but whenever they throw in Kanto, Johto isn't included. To put it bluntly: I think Kanto is the weakest region, and just having a "new story" with new Gym Leaders won't fix that. Every time we get Kanto, it's always the same but with prettier graphics, and it gets stale after so many trips there.

I know it's the 20th anniversary and people want something all-new, but XY was supposed to be that "all-new, fresh experience," and I think it really deserves some proper fine-tuning. I think any sort of follow-up to Kalos (3rd version or sequels, if they feel it's truly appropriate, but as I've said before I'm still crossing my fingers for a 3rd version) would be appropriate for a 20th anniversary title, as long as it was really a full-fledged, enhanced experience.

SO hyped about the direct! It's definitely a main series game announcement, the one we've all been waiting for for since the Zygarde/Ash Greninja forms were revealed. And hopefully it will finally put an end to the Gen 6/Gen 7 Magearna bickering, haha.

Z/Rainbow/Whatever here we come!!! :)

Imagine if this confirms Zygarde forms and Ash Grneinja are anime only. I would not really care since I never was board with them being in the game anyway. If they do end up being in the game cool but if not I won't be let down. Decided to just go into this not expecting anything so I won't be let down or anything. Though what if this is NEW 3DS only?

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

The Serebii guy confirmed they would not bother with that. Plus in a way they have done that with the Super Bowl commercial if you think about it. Both PKMN Directs were main series focused and I would be shocked if this was not. D Pikachu is out of the question since this is a world direct and Japan got it and Pokken I feel if they have any new pokemon they will be unlocked in game as surprises which would be nice. GO is March 14th so that leaves Pokemon Z,Rainbow,W,Mumbo jumbo. (Unless they reveal a new Rumble game....)

We had a new rumble last year, a new Ranger is more likely if it were a spin off {:3}. I think it's main game, I don't see them dedicating a Direct for a spin off, but who knows...

XY got two one in Jan and one around September

GO is actually being developed by Niantic, it's being published by the Pokemon company, and distributed by Nintendo.

Will, actually the next Pokemon game from Nintendo is Pokken Fighters... at least in terms of release dates. Then it's GO. Also, be careful, you're getting deeper into flame bait territory...

 

[WingsofBliss]

Ok... I don't think we should be responding to @willprogresivo's posts anymore. I'm starting to think that they're a troll... the only posts they've made after joining this site a couple days ago have done nothing but bash people because of their speculation. I've reported them once already.

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

See? What did I tell you guys? Directs only come out on a weekday. I'm not sure how they're going to fit all new information regarding the Gen 1 VC releases, Pokken, Pokémon GO, Detective Pikachu, and the expected third version in under 5 minutes.

Yeah, I was about to tell you that you were right. As was I about them being announced in short notice, most seem to have expected a week's notice, something they rarely do from the ones I remember.
They'll likely focus on only one thing, rather than all those. Pokemon XY's Direct spent like the first nine of the eleven or so minutes talking about the history of Pokemon, and the last two on the games. Perhaps the first three will be a quick summary of the games, perhaps revisiting the special editions of the past (they ignored some of the third versions in the XY Direct, so now would be a good time to go over their additions to the franchise) and then announcing the latest special edition (if that's what we're getting). If we do get a release of 'Z' in June then I can see them announcing Gen VII before years end (Gen IV was announced two months after Emerald, Gen V was announced six months after HgSs, Gen VI was announced seven months after B2W2) or at the start of year 21.

Technically it is going to be Saturday in Japan. As for all those games doubt they will. I see it only for the main game series myself. Gen 1 release was done last direct and the Youtube channel,GO will be next month,Pokken has enough info already and Detective Pikachu won't get attention due to it being a world direct and it being out in Japan already. I will be shocked and a bit mad if this is not a main game. But as was said my Serebii XY was shown in 1 1/2 mins. The rest was just fluff talking about the series. Since it is only 5 mins I can see Mr.Masuda talking about the 20 years and a trailer plus maybe quick details. Also if this is coming sooner rather than later and truly is not a 3rd version but a 20th anniversary I can see him wanting a few mins at least to show why it is a 20th anniversary game. Like what makes it a 20th anniversary game? Just the fact it is out on the 20th anniversary? Or is there more to that?
