And the baby has 10,000,000 fathers?

It's understandable that all the game developers are parents of the game itself, especially how X and Y is going to be born from Game Freak soon. xD

[Sarah Morgan]

I'm so excited this is the best new I've heard all week

[kelario27]

My prediction:

X and Y will be released. Sales will be great to begin with, but people will find that what little they left in B/W after removing all the cool stuff from Gen IV has been removed as well. Sales will drop dramatically after people who bought it begin badmouthing it to their friends.

Game Freak will release a third version, Z, which in an attempt to try and save face, will bring back the Emerald Battle Frontier in a new layout, as well as some Gen IV elements removed in B/W. People will be enticed by this, but will, as with X/Y, begin badmouthing it to their friends because though they put the Battle Frontier back, it's severely limited/difficult and pretty much pointless.

In response to some fans' wishes for an R/S remake just 'cuz, they will release Pokémon Gemerald, a remake of Emerald (portmanteau of Gem and Emerald). No one will buy it because no one actually liked Gen III. The genwunners will win the gen war, and Pokémon sales will, for the rest of existence, be limited to eBay.

I don't think so. People loved B/W and even got B2/W2 without all the fancy things, and who says X&Y won't get them either?

Well as I said, it's just a prediction. I can't prove it's gonna happen. But I won't be surprised if it does.

Guys, I think I found my new favorite legendary Pokemon.

Many fans were thinking of genetic mutation as X and Y may point to the human chromosome. I think it is a possible conflict led by the villainous team. What do you think?

X and Y will open new horizon for Pokemon like what DPPt did for the physical/special split. X and Y will usher in a new era, that I am sure.

No offense, but this isn't true. A lot of people loved Gen III. ;p

[Urugamosu]

True, and to date the Gen 3 titles are still my favorite.

I agree, they were some of my favourites. I think that X and Y will end up being one of the biggest sellers on the 3DS and boost their sales even more.

As someone who's seen the release of every generation of Pokemon, I doubt it - people always have things they dislike about each generation, but people keep getting the games because there is something magical about Pokemon even with imperfections here and there.

Didn't know where to post this link, but its interesting find by a friend.

Yesterday, Nintendo revealed two brand-new Pokémon games – Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, which are exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS and will be launching worldwide this October. Pokémon Company President Tsunekazu Ishihara shared several tidbits on the upcoming games, which can be read below.

In addition to existing Pokemon, there will be a large number of completely new Pokemon. The additions will bring the total number of Pokemon in the franchise from the current 649 to over 700.
Because of Pokemon X and Y, the Pokemon anime, movies, card game and merchandise will “break into a new dimension.”
People around the world will be able to simultaneously experience “Real Play.”
The game will utilize the Nintendo 3DS to its maximum abilities to leverage its overwhelmingly beautiful presentation.
The game uses an innovative communication system that makes it feel as if you are playing with other players around the world.
The bonds between players and Pokemon will deepen, and Pokemon will become stronger with the new battle structure.
Everyone will enjoy the game’s scenario and music.

[vaporeon7]

As someone mentioned before, it'll be interesting to see what happens with the anime. The time difference will be all muddled up with the worldwide release.

[Retro Bug]

Over 700 hundred, eh? Can't wait to see those.

"The bonds between players and Pokemon will deepen, and Pokemon will become stronger with the new battle structure." I'm interested in seeing how this will work, how the bonds will "deepen".

[vaporeon7]

Maybe the anime will have 3D animation...

I like the extra stuff. Even if it's not 800 or something, over 50 mons for sure is p good really considering MOST PEOPLE were going with the Rainbow rumour of 20. So scary.

I still can't believe that people thought that was real. It was so Farfetch'd. :3

So, it is going to be just over 51 new Pokemon? That is pretty low, considering how many are normally added each Generation.
Maybe they are concentrating on content and going down the whole 'quality not quantity' route, which would make me happy.

Well, I think it'll be the boost people need to actually purchase a 3DS. The majority of DS users play Pokémon, and an overwhelming majority of those people who play it play it in part due to loyalty to the franchise. I suspect that'll be the only reason that the 3DS will get a sales boost given that, for most people (the ones that I know, anyway), there aren't that many games that interest them on the 3DS yet. If someone were to buy a system for a single game, Pokémon would definitely be the most likely to encourage people to do so. But either way, people couldn't have expected them to stay on the DS after it's been out for, what? Six, seven years? I mean, come on...

I don't think just that much, there will probably be below 800, but over 700, so around 100 or so really.

Yeh, I think it would be more around 100, if not spot on. It is going to be difficult to 100% this game, due to the mass number again! -___-

[Forever]

Honestly I think I might be a little disappointed if it's exactly 100, especially after Unova bringing 150. I like change, I like new Pokemon. XD;

[Patchisou Yutohru]

New Pokémon is what makes new Pokémon games so exciting. After all, the plot is pretty recycled and if you play for plot, you pretty much only really need to play one game to get the gist.

[Forever]

Ya totally. Not the amount though but the hype and lead up in general to each announcement of new Pokemon is what I care about I just hope there's a lot of Pokemon announced not really the number but 100 still is low :x

[Captain Fabio]

Do people not think that getting closer to 800 is starting to get excessive? Yes, they are new games but! O_O
