That would be quite a trick considering Nintendo owns most, if not all, of the Pokémon IP.

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

Plus the announcement is on Nintendo direct lol.

The fighting villain thing sounds cool. I had a dream of a game in which Pokemon fight villainous' groups mecha's like those of Team Rocket in the anime, and the robot in Pokestudios. Who knows perhaps the evil group has access to drones...

[Eeveelution Co-ordinator]

Just found out that their also streaming a broadcast about The Sims 3 at the same time! Which one to watch...

Masuda seems to be really excited about this one.

"Junichi Masuda @ Junichi_Masuda
Good morning, everyone! Masuda not sleep too well (laughs)! This day I have come at last! ! Than 13 hours off the countdown! ! ! (^ ^) / ~ ~ ~"

[scprepschool]

So when exactly will air in japan? Im eastern US so its almost 6 now the websites countdowns got me at like 25 hours to go. But im pretty sure if japan gets it at 8pm then it will be covered and reach the us before the actual us announcement right?
Or am i missing some kind of time/space loophole nintendo magic?

[Emrald]

The announcement will air in the U.S. tomorrow at 6 AM EST.

It will be 8 PM in Japan by that time.

Aw man, i thought i was restless last night.
On the brightside i think its great how pokemon can bring people from all over the world together at the same time to share in something together... what with the wars and the end of time jibberish going on in the real world we can still share in something together.
Its actually pretty amazing when you think about it.

**** he's really getting my hopes up!

Anyone have any interviews from Masuda where he stated interest in anything revolutionary?... Like a Pokemon MMO?

I wanna know what he'd be excited about...

[PokéZoom]

Ohhh, I'm willing to bet it's Generation VI now.

[LilJz1234]

Maybe Ruby and Sapphire remake! Or maybe they're already planning on a 6th gen?!

What if it's Pokemon Stadium 3!?

Omg, I wanna know now! ><

[Lapras*]

Yess 3am for mee! I'll probably just wake up at that time then go to sleep after. I wonde what kind of game though?

[Suicune™]

"<meta NAME="keywords" CONTENT="Nintendo, Nintendo of America, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL, Nintendo 3DS" />"

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

I'm 99.9 percent sure it's a new game now.

[Suicune™]

I'm still divided on the whole Generation VI & RS Remakes speculation, then it could be something else. Only a few hours to go!

[xxChaz03xx]

Found some rumored info on it. Because I'm not at 15 posts yet, I can't post the source, but if you google Pokemon Rainbow the most recent one should be it. Also, sorry if that has already been posted previously. I don't pay much attention to topics really, lol.

"The announcement is, more or less, a love letter to the franchise. It's being called Pokemon Rainbow, a 3DS game that encompasses the settings and Pokemon from generations 1-4: Red and Blue, Gold and Silver, Ruby and Sapphire, and Diamond and Pearl. You can take my word for it that the graphics are done up very nicely. The perspective is similar to what you'd expect from Pokemon games, but the camera is much more dynamic. The graphical style is characterized by very clean, dark lines. Almost cartoonish, but not quite. Battles look radically different, and move away from the use of pixel art. Though it seems that the interface is still made of pixels. The battle that it shown is between a totally new trainer and a wild Weedle. The trainer uses a Pikachu.

I'm not privy to any story details, as I only know what will be announced tomorrow. The story is concurrent with Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 in terms of timeline. There are over 20 new Pokemon, and two will be revealed tomorrow. One is an evolution of an older Pokemon Eevee, called Draconeon. The other is a totally new Pokemon, called Verbill. It looks like a rodent, much like the Pokemon Patrat, but has a sort of pirate theme going on.

A Wii U app will be launched along with the game, which will be announced tomorrow. However, all that will be said is that the app will be addressed "at a later date". The logo for the app features a globe with Pikachu, Munna, Treeko, Cyndaquil, and Piplup popping out from various countries."

I think the only reason why the Rainbow rumor is getting momentum is because it's supposedly being posted by someone who's been correct about rumors in the past.

Anyway, if you think about it, it could be Generation Six. Remember that Generation Two only lasted for three years, and that Munchlax was unveiled way before Diamond and Pearl were released. So if anything, at least, I think there might be a hint that Generation Six at least exists in some form.

Why do so many people think that Gamefreak or any other game developer think they always have to follow patterns?

I highly doubt that any of the past gens were released when they were because Gamefreak was trying to follow a pattern, but rather they just released them when they are done. Some games just take longer to develop then others.

[jellotime91]

Don't ... You.. Even... Oh my god.

If that Pokemon Rainbow thing is true, I WILL poop myself. I WILL DO IT.

[LilJz1234]

The Pokemon Rainbow isn't really appealing imo =/

I really do hope that rumor is false :C

[Magmaruby and Aquasapphire]

I don't beleive it at all, Draconeon is a common fan name for the dragon eevee, than again some of the english Unova pokemon got their names predicted accurately such as Snivy...

20 Pokemon is too little though, even when compared to Johto. I'll rather have 100 new mons related to Hoenn,Sinnoh and Unova pokemon than what the rumor says.

[slayerz96]

I'm throwing money at my laptop screen and nothing is happening.

Bring it on, Gen 6. My body is ready.
