5th Gen The Generation Five Speculation Thread

[Swolligator]

From what i can translate by just looking at the official website, they are indeed black and white.
It will be released in the autumn of 2010 (in japan)
next time, on the 15th of April (wednesday) (new,fresh) (information, intelligence, report, news) (announce, make public)
(perfect,complete,whole), new made, this autumn put on market!
and it will be on Nintendo DS.
thats pretty much all that they have said.

They seem to put out a lot of games in Japan in fall....making us Americans and Europeans wait until March/April/February.

TAJIRI YOU BETTER DONE YOU ABSOLUTE BEST

I hope Sugimori has some new writing styles.

Serebii will be updated tomorrow.

STARTERS MUST NOT LOOK FUGLY

I'm thinking or Moon/Sun Legendaries? It's the most logical.

Eclipse Legendary as 3rd?

If you make a Pikachu copy, ACTUALLY MAKE IT EVOLVE INTO SOMETHING BETTER

BETTER RATTATA COPIES

*more rants*

wow. moon sun legendary. so awesome!!! and eclipse works perfectly. but wat would that be called?
hahaha I'll be ordering off play-asia. this could be the first pokemon game that I'll be getting when it comes out.

 

[インフェルノの津波]

The following comes in mind:

Selene = Greek for moon
Helio = Greek for sun
Solar = Latin for sun
Lunar = Latin for moon

Eclypse = Random guess.

WE NEED FAST WATER, SLOW FIRE AND SWEEPER GRASS STARTERS!

I'll be waiting as usual. No reason to play a game in a different language, I want to get the full experience.

 

[Swolligator]

Im definately going to get it when it comes out in japan, means i have to get better at my japanese now!
and most likely, the legendaries names in japanese will be romanized for english. the only ones not to have this done is Articune, Zapdos and Moltres

Im seeing a whole Yin Yang thing going on... based on the logos.

this will be most likely, a legendary symbolising Yin, the other Yang. akin to Dialga/Palkia, Mew/Mewtwo, Ho-oh/Lugia, Groudon/Kyogre.

 

[インフェルノの津波]

Exactly, either the moon and the sun or light and darkness.

I actually prefer the latter.

 

[Swolligator]

Moon and sun wont be, this was part of the Ho-oh/Lugia theme, Storm/Rainbow, Night/Day...etc. light and darkness maybe but that could be incorporated into the whole Yin/Yang thing.

 

[インフェルノの津波]

There are so many possibilities.....but knowing Tajiri he probably incorporated them all LOL.

 

[Haza]

Yeah, Basically a theme based on Light and Darkness (or Good and Evil or Balance), Day and Night (or Sun and Moon) and I honestly can't think of another. I also see this being the perfect time to introduce the Light type, and if it does not happen now... I don't see it ever happening.

 

[Serene Grace]

Hmm.. Pokemon Black and White eh? I think these names are very good actually - simple and white effective in getting the point of opposite Pokemon across. I can't wait to hear more.

i can see a chess board.
....
hahaha yeh ur right. though i'm not sure wat it would mean. yin and yang is 2 things that cant live without each other. they are like a balance. so it also applies to the past legendaries too.

 

[Haza]

Haha, this is a random thought (my mind is roaming so much right now) but imagine the turn the anime will take... or what the title will be.

That's a fair point.

..I still think they'll rename the animé series. XD;

 

[blendaz]

Man, I just hope they are different from all the new games (HG/SS, D/P/Pt).
I hope they have different look and everything!

Can't wait to see some gameplay footage!

I'm sure the graphics will be enhanced, they always are for the new games. What I want them to continue is the intuitive way they use the touchscreen in Heart Gold and Soul Silver - it really does come in handy for stylus lovers like me.

 

[Boafrats]

I prefer using something else besides the stylus.

My finger.

 

[blendaz]

BTW I'm really happy it's not on that new 3DS system cuz I don't want to loose my money on that new thingy too ... the DS is really good for now. Maybe the next gen can go on 3DS ... we'll see ;]

Even I sometimes use my finger when my Stylus is nowhere to be found (which happens a lot now)

But, yeah, I really want the touch screen to be utilized as much as it was with Heart Gold and Soul Silver.
