There really needs to be a Light-Type, and maybe (although improbably) a Space-Type. Also, some more original Legendaries. My friends and I have created a Legendary Trio based on the Three Fates, with the spider-themed one as the spinner, the scorpion-themed one as the weaver, and the mantis-themed one as the slicer. Also, there should NOT be a badass protagonist, like Wes from Colosseum. Those kinds of characters are just trying too hard to be cool... Besides, its tradition that the main characters look really dorky with obnoxiously-colored clothes.

The Red Chain January 4th, 2010 12:41 PM

I wouldn't mind a change in tradition honestly.
It would be nice to have two main characters for once that aren't 10 years old and have an appearance to match it.
At least make them 14 or less dorky looking. x.x;


Spikey-Eared Pichu January 4th, 2010 12:41 PM

A trio based on the Fates is an interesting idea.

And Wes was badass :p The guy from XD paled in comparison.

GoldvsRed January 4th, 2010 12:46 PM

They should be badass in the Red kind of way, I mean. In Colosseum, it didn't really feel natural playing as such- an over-the-top character. I'm not saying we can't have them, Wes WAS definitely awesome, I'm just saying they shouldn't be the protagonists. Maybe you could be able to design your character.

Now THAT would be something.
Though PBR kinda fails, I like that little feature it has.
I would enjoy seeing something like that in the near future for Pokemon, and I'm sure a lot of other fans would too.


GoldvsRed January 4th, 2010 12:52 PM

That way, your character could however you wanted! Plus, you could by hats, shirts, pants, etcetera at shops, and just lying around! Wouldn't it be fun playing as a Gym Leader impersonator?

Amore January 4th, 2010 1:47 PM

Lol.I'd dress up as Arceus, so i could do whatever i wanted and get away with it

GoldvsRed January 4th, 2010 4:37 PM

Yeah, there could be cosplay! And you'd get some special cape, or crown, or something for getting into the Hall of Fame... But who says it has to just be for Trainers? Pokemon could wear their Ribbons!

curiousnathan January 6th, 2010 1:26 AM

It would be great if once you have defeated that reigon eliete four and everything then you should move to kanto, then johto, then heonn then sinnoh! That would be awesome!

GoldvsRed January 6th, 2010 1:35 PM

I think its highly unlikely that you would be able to travel to all 4 previous regions...

The Red Chain January 6th, 2010 1:37 PM

Bleck, no more Kanto.. x.x;
It's already been in every generation so far..
I would be so pissed if they put it in generation 5 too. ]<


bmtdan January 8th, 2010 11:16 AM

i could dig the idea of two items being held at once :) two type arceus anyone? although u can expect dark/ghost to be spammed like cray

Teomat January 9th, 2010 2:52 AM

What I want from new generation:
Child form and evolution of Farfetch'd. Also I want child form of Torous and Miltank. I think they should have the same child form
Some good BUG pokemon. Couse all this Butterfrees and Mothims are too weak by there starts. I want more bugs like Pinsir, Scyther, Shuckle.
I want bug starter! For example fire/bug pokemon or a water/bug. Ok Grass/bug is ok too(lets close eyes on the paras problems)
More snake pokemons! Maybe the evolution of Seviper
NIDOQUEEN SHOULD CHANGE EGG GROUP! That stupid, that female Nidoran can have childrens, but her evolve forms - can't
And I agreed that some pokemon should change there types. Pokemons like Charizard, Feraligator, Meganium, Ninetails
I want more freedom in the game. I want to make some decisions at least in optional quests! I don't talking about ability to join evil team, but in some places there are should be different way to solve a problem
It could be funny but I want to be able redress my characters. At least has 3-4 costumes that I can change by myself.
I want to let my pokemons walk with me. Not how it is in HGSS(the first in the party), but the pokemon that I choose
Do something whis magicarps. It's too easy to have gyarados))


What I don't want from the next generation
Fire\fighting starter: We already have two! In neighbourhood generation! I think two is too much
More legends: Well 3-5 legendary pokemons are ok, but not so many as in the 4 generation! almost a half of generation - is evolutions and legends! It's too much!
No more friendly rivals! I want someone like Silver - cynical enemy, that so piss of the character, that you will really want to overcome him... or maybe her?

I think its time to go back to the pure grass, water, and fire starters (like the 2nd gen. starters) Im sick and tired of seeing the dual type starters. And I agree on the not-friendly rival idea. Too many of them! May/Brendan (ruby, sapphire) wasnt too challenging. Pearl was hooked on flintstone vitamins a little too much. Those 2 main legendaries is a tradition and I would like to keep it that way, and the legendary trio I would like to keep that concept as well, and also each legendary should have their own special battle theme (like they did with HG/SS). And yes that one legendary that you have to go to an event for and maybe unlock a special story in the game. It just makes it more valuable. (deoxys, arceus)

Please no more eevee evolutions! Dont get me wrong I love the eevee family, but its time for the original start approach. (like the 1st and 3rd gen pokemon). Im all for the more bug pokemon, but not like the weak and overused ones (like beautifly, beedrill) we need some beefed up bugs like Scizor and Vispaqueen. I wouldnt mind another bug pokemon gym, lol gives me more reason to pick the grass starter (over-leveling for the win!) Customizing your own trainer, well Im on the fence about it. I dont know why but for some reason I have a feeling that the feature of custom trainer might take away from the main story. Yeah I know its a crazy thought but thats my only concern about. Otherwise I think that it would be a great idea for that feature be in the game. New trainer classes please! I would like to see a female cop for once. xDD

I think that they should keep the contests and pokeatholon. But not the contests that was in DPPt, those were too complicated and move sets really didnt matter in those contests, I mean the ones that was in RSE. It took a lot of experience to get the perfect move sets right, and it was more enjoyable to participate in the contests. Double gym leader battle, tate and liza demonstrated that perfectly. It was challenging and it was fun. I want to see a couple gym leader in the 5th gen. (besides the remakes of hoenn). More detail of nature pleaseeeeeeeee. I loved how they put the snow feature in gen. IV, but put the desert somewhere that is actualy meant to have a desert, the one in the battle frontier didnt make no sense at all. Eyecatchers were fun to look at in FR/LG and HG/SS, I want more please :] escially for routes and cities. Returning characters from the original games, just for that nostalgic feeling. Red for example, should be unlockable in the 5th generation. I also would want them to put in Green and Blue, and possibly Yellow (even though she wasnt in the games) Maybe battle all 3 of them to unlock Red. Now that would be something. Dive needs to be brought back, but maybe not as a HM, though I didnt mind it as an HM. (that move was perfect for beauty contests) Cut needs to do more than just cut down trees. Like in all the other generations besides IV, cut was able to cut down grass, and doors if you played FR/LG. VS seeker needs to return. I dont want to have people call me and tell me that they're ready to battle. I want to battle them on the spot.

The evil team, hmm. Well they should be good criminals like team rocket was, have nice outfits like team magma/aqua did, and have a crazy leader and goal like team galatic did. Haha all 4 evil teams in one that sounds good :D


I hope that the gyms will special in these types
dark (its overdue, even though karen was a dark user in the E4)
bug (bugsy is just isnt enough)
fire (sooo much fun to take down)
normal (a challenge, maybe save it for the 8th gym?)
dragon (another challenge, 7th gym?)
psychic (meh...)
poision (just stock up on full restores)
If they do Introduce a new type (light, virus, ???) I want it to be this gym, if not then this gym could be steel. Or for a first, a gym that uses various types of pokemon. That would be intresting to see.

God forbbid that they put in a rock/ground gym in the 5th gen. Espically for the 1st gym. Ice and Water gyms are overused, which gives me more reason to think that its time for a new type.

Loads of people LOVE PBR I havent got it (ive played it) and it was a great game... its realy just designed for 3D wi-fi battling... so its achived its goal!

I WANT A LEPRACON POKEMON!!! and in its sprite its holding a pot of gold XDXD oh!oh! it would have a move called...uh... rainbow! (i dunno XD)

SuperShuckle94 January 11th, 2010 2:24 PM

SuperShuckle's gen IV wishlist...
-An evolution for Shuckle: Shuckle feels like he's been punished for his through the roof defense. Not a single one of his other stats are even decent. So my idea is to evolve him into something bigger, thus giving him more HP. If you feel the need, cut his base speed stat even further, though there's not much there to cut in the first place. Give it good typing, (bug/steel anyone?) a nice design and it's a deal.
-Ruby/Sapphire remakes: I know this is REALLY unlikely due to Pal Parking, but I'd like to have Hoenn with the newer pokemon, mostly so I can play through the region with Chatot and that Shuckle evo. Radiant Ruby and Sparkling Sapphire?
-Continuation of Pal-Parking: Pal Park was a great idea, now, keep it. Maybe if the next console still uses DS carts we could insert our Diamonds or Pearls and save a copy of the pokemon onto the system, then put the gen 5 game in and download it to the cart? I dunno, but I really hate leaving my pokemon behind when I go to a new region.
-Character customization: Self explanatory.

Ochigi January 11th, 2010 4:50 PM

I wish it'd include EVERY SINGLE region.
And every town.Very detailed =P
And Tropius & Girafirig Pre-Evos would nice because most ppl don't like those 2,
Plus,A New eeveelution!

And the reason they haven't made a game where you can visit all regions is because there's only so much memory you can fit on one little DS game. I completely agree with Trainer Customization, it would make things much more personal-feeling, I think.

There are a whole bunch of things I would change about the games, really. And I would actually rather they not make a 5th generation of new Pokemon (new evolutions would be great, though). I want to see a remake of G/S/C, please. I think we need a remake, seeing as Kanto has been already.

And, maybe (I'm about to be an Eevee fangirl), new evoltuions for Eevee? *Is slapped* I mean, c'mon, how cool would an Eevee with wings be? I'll shut up now xD


Your Pokemon follow you in heartgold and soulsilver.

I believe he was referring the fact that it has already been done in HGSS, so adding it in a 5th gen wouldn't be something completely new.

Teomat January 15th, 2010 7:16 AM

Now I've got some more wishes for 5 gen:
Change the Sceptile and Grovyle stats. Their attack should be bigger then special attack! All there movepool talk about that! For Treeko the stats could be the same
Make HM able to "grow". For example without any badges cut make 20 damage, but with all 6 badges - somewhat anout 90 ant have hight critical chance. So this attacks will be used in fights. Couse now is usable only Surf, Rock Climb and Waterfall. It's not enough!
Give Pikachu and Raichu the second type. At least it would be second stab
GIve something to Houndoom. Something that would make him real "Hell hound", not just the medium fire type
Change Slaking ability from Truant to Pure Power(Thats joke))

Sorceress Andeh January 15th, 2010 8:14 AM

A narwhal pokemon.

Until such a thing exists, I wont be able to rest at night x]

Another spider pokemon? or Evo for Ariados? A good spider pokemon is overdue.

More pokemon based on mythical creatures (particularily things like Kraken)

Light/Holy and Data/Virus/something to do with computers type. Maybe implementing Shadow type as a permanent type as a rival for light/holy. And of course maybe a space/cosmic type. Although all these types are probably hoping too much.

Changing Probopass' typing to Electric/Steel so its actually really useable.

DUNSPARCE EVO!! Based on Medusa. Light/Flying type?

Oh and Arceus should die just for being way too rediculously powerful and essentially existing as the god and creator of pokemon thus closing the pokedex really.

Obviously customizable trainers would be loved. and a more in-depth plot.
Maybe the ability to join with a friend and play through the main game as double battles too :3
I'll probs end up thinking of more xD

Pokémon Ranger ✩ Moriarty January 15th, 2010 10:09 AM

● Going with all of the people saying customisable trainer. Yes please. It can't take up much space to allow you to change skin/hair colours/basic clothing style/bags etc. (I want the cool boyish backpack, not some pseudo-handbag that the girl character is forced to carry around).

● A remake of Hoenn. Doesn't have to be the next game, but it would be nice to see. (: I'd especially like to see the Hoenn Battle Frontier brought up to GenIV graphics, but that's because I ♥ my Frontier Brains. I also like the idea of two criminal organisations running rampage like in Emerald. It just seemed to give the game more depth for me. :3

● Badass!Rival. I like the friendly rivals, but I like rivals like Silver more. Heck with it, let's just put Silver's little brother in the game >_>;;

● The NPCs to say slightly more interesting things. After four generations, we don't need people still telling us 'o my Ho-Oh you can store Pokémon in the PC!' like it's a new thing. Even new players can read all of this stuff in the instruction manuals anyway. :/

agreed with all of the above. I always wondered why the boys backpack was cooler than the girls. Look at Rubys backpack! That think is freakin awesome! Espically the one in emerald version. ITS GREEN FOR HEAVENS SAKE! cooler backpacks for the girls please nintendo :]

And the person you quoted was saying it's pointless to say that as they could have not possibly known about Pokemon following you in HG/SS as their existence wasn't even known at that time.

There needs to a Light Type, and Customizable Trainers. >:[

I think the combination of Fire, Water and Grass is a classic with Pokemon and if it were up to me I would leave things the same. Your choices are smartly thought out though - all of them being strong to one type and weak against the other.

King! January 17th, 2010 8:00 AM

But that still includes grass. It could be Flying, Fighting, and Rock. This is because it completes the cycle of beat one and weak against one... Also, Psychic, Dark, and Fighting work. xD But I doubt they'd change it, it's tradition!

EDIT: I. Got. Ninja'd again. D: Well, whatever.

Psychic, Dark and Fighting does sound like an interesting prospect. I certainly would love to play a Pokemon game that includes this starter trio.

560cool. January 17th, 2010 8:21 AM

One maaaaajor change :

MAKE AN ALL NEW PLOT !

Aren't you all bored of the 10 yyear kid getting its Fire Water or Grass Starter (this however shouldn't be changed) from Prof. (tree) and then to head out on an adventure to become the Champ , meet Team (any evil name team) then stop them .

SOmething changed , like how the PMD Games introduced something new . Maybe you were an old trainer , maybe an ex prof and now you restart your adventure , or at least make no prof ... I just wanna have an all new original storyline .

Also Hoenn Remakes , customisable trainers and even cutscenes ! :]

King! January 17th, 2010 9:06 AM

If you made an all new plot, it would be kind of like a spin-off game, right? The only difference would be the new Pokemon. But, if you were talking about the same collect badges and fight league and stuff but without the evil team and something else, then I suppose it could work. But the evil team is different every time almost, like, a different sstory with them, so is it really necessary? An ex-professor would work, or a new professor, but it wouldn't be that different, as you're still getting a new Pokemon from someone.

Customisable trainers and cutscenes would be cool, especially thye first one, but the Hoenn remakes aren't reall necessary either, because they aren't really nostalgic, and are still on a somewhat recent system.

Pokéthan January 17th, 2010 9:07 AM

I like the whole older person is called out to help.... Maybe take the storyline of PokeMon 2000 where they have to save the world??

Some of these things you mentioned really don't keep with the heritage of a Pokemon games. First of all, does that age of a character really matter? I mean, when I play as a character, I take notice of the way he acts and how he looks, not his age. You guys have to understand that Pokemon is aimed at people of all ages. Once you take the aspect that attracts younger people into playing, namely the main character being young, then Nintendo will lose quite a bit of money as one of their biggest markets are younger people and they need something to relate to unless they'll lose interest.

Plus, IMHO I think the plot is just fine. Albeit a FEW changes are needed, but nothing major. I still love the "New Trainer sets out, gets his starter, gets 8 badges ( Should maybe increase to maybe 10 badges), defeats evil syndicate, and become the Pokemon League Champion" Plot

Hozzey January 19th, 2010 1:03 AM

I would like some originality for starters the urm.. starters should be another type like Normal, Ghost and Fighting or something. And for some reason I'm obsessed with wanting a Zebra and Dolphin Pokemon. It should also be in like a tropical region and the possibilities of going to Johto, Kanto, Orre, Hoenn or Sinnoh. Most hoping Kanto or Orre as they are my favourites :D Possibly bring back Team Rocket or Magma and Aqua as its kind of gay if each region has its own Villianous groups!

But to be honest I don't really see a Gen 5 since they made a God and everything! I probably wouldn't buy it ether as it would be probably be gay. As the games seem to get worst each generation.

Serene Grace January 19th, 2010 11:32 AM

A tropical region, like the Orange Islands in the anime, wouldn't be such a bad location. The only problem that I can see straight away is that the amount of surfing needed to get from island to island would get boring after a while. Although, this can be overcome by making surfing even faster.

Pokéthan January 19th, 2010 12:43 PM

IF there was a new DS on the horizon then maybe the cartridges would be big enough to hold ALL regions?? I like the orange islands idea! Also a game that follows the anime more closer... Maybe a DS game called PokeMon: Indigo League or something?

Or doing little cut scenes between each island, like using the boat between the Sevi Islands.

GoldvsRed January 19th, 2010 1:36 PM

Nobody seems to notice that Ice-Ground-Steel would be a cycle, too. Also, I'd like the storyline to stay the same. It'd just be too different, and I actually like the Pokemon traditions. I'd like Gym Leaders/Elite Four/Team Bosses/Other important NPCs to appear more often, even outside of the Gym/League/Hideout/Other areas, perhaps for rematches or whatever. Fighting Professors would be really fun, like what they WERE going to do in R/G/B.

Charmageddon January 20th, 2010 11:58 AM

Ice/Ground/Steel does not work the other way round. And neither does Dark/Psychic/Fighting!

Your right, Ice/Ground/Steel wouldn't work.

But Dark/Psychic/Fighting will:

Fighting Super-Effective against Dark, Dark Super-Effective against Psychic, and Psychic Super-Effective against Fighting

I believe we should keep it Fire>Grass>Water

DGexe January 20th, 2010 12:10 PM

Psychic > Fighting > Dark would be a nice change from the usual Grass > Water > Fire... But heck, I wouldn't think it a huge loss if Nintendo and Game Freak did the usual trio we're so familiar with.

You know what I would like to see, however? More ghost types; either original or more evos/prevos (preferably ORIGINAL, however)... I want more ghosts. There's only like... what... 14 ghost types total? *checks*

EDIT: 18, not including different form changes (Rotom, Giratina), 17 if you discount Arceus' use of Spooky Plate

Ice-Types beat Ground-Types, Ground-Types beat Steel-Types, and Steel-Types beat Ice-Types. It should still remain as the classic G-F-W, though.

Yes, but it doesn't work the other way around. Dark is not very effective against Fighting, Fighting is not very effective against Psychic, but Psychic is ineffective against Dark.

Add a powerful Ghost-type move into that wish too! Every ghost barring Giratina are stuck with Shadow Ball/Shadow Claw as their most powerful Ghost-STAB option, and 80 BP doesn't really cut it D:

Indigo League is the kanto region. The kanto region has been in every gen so far. And I know Johto is also the Indigo League , but I don't want anymore of that region anytime soon. The games should never have anything Anime related in them.

That would get pretty boring as well. Surfing wouldn't be too bad, as long as its not how the orange rom hack did it. The gave you a Lapras then forced you to level it up to level 10 so It could learn Surf. Pretty stupid, because you got it at about lv.3 and all the wild pokemon are ... lv.5 I think. Until then you had to stay on the island

First person camera option, or zoom or or something similar. I wanted to see so many things from up close... check out the Bellsprout painting, the panels in Ruins of Alph, gaze up at the Sinnoh League building... I bet they could do that too.

LightEspeon ♥! January 23rd, 2010 10:59 AM

They should make a new type:

Wind
Love

I watch a lot of captain planet xD!(NOT REALLY.... i WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.)

Nope. I like the Types, and adding more would just screw it all up.

BenEary January 23rd, 2010 11:31 PM

I'm sure someone's said it before, but I've got my fingers crossed for a masculine Buneary evolution.

New starter types would certainly be a nice change of pace. Not that Grass/Fire/Water is bad, I'm just so bored having to choose between those every time.

I'd also like to see a more open-ended storyline. Maybe I DON"T want to fight the pokemon league, but as it is if I don't, then some content is blocked from me....

demonmike January 26th, 2010 11:03 AM

Not another Fire/Fighting starter would be great.

No, I too am happy. Its a delicate balance that was perfect, and further improved with GEN IV's defining physical/special by attack basis and not type.

Cyndahog January 26th, 2010 11:05 AM

If a Fire/Fighting starter comes around again, expect a rampage from me.

Less water types, and more fire types would be very nice. And, uh, maybe new outfits to choose from/buy for your player?

I'm pretty happy with the current types of Pokemon. If any were to be added, I would want to see something along the lines of "Light" (to oppose "Dark") and Sonic (as we are currently seeing some sound-based Pokemon). But if those two things never came to fruition, that's fine with me.

What I would like to see is more of an exploration of the dual-type Pokemon. There are so many neat things that could be done with combining the current types creatively. For instance, Dark/Water or Grass/Fire. There are tons of ways you could combine the types to create some really interesting Pokemon.

The Bringer! January 27th, 2010 1:14 PM

I would like a more story based game, and maybe where you can pick between starting towns, which would effect the story or summin'. For example, maybe you could:

Start off in an industrial city, where you can choose between Fire, Steel, or Rock as your starter. (I do believe that that trio works...)

Start off in an isolated forest or swamp village, where the starters are Grass, Ground, or Poison. (Should work as a trio as well =3 )

Or maybe in a major port town located on a sheer cliff face, with the starting trio as Rock, Flying, or Fighting.

Lol, basically something where the character you start as isn't just "some average dude" but actually has a past that matters to the story, and choices you can make as well.

Agree also, but you gotta make sure not to make dual-types that contradict each other

IE: Water/Steel. A major contradiction imo.

Plus dual-types that dun cover almost every weakness that Pokemon has, like Water/Grass

Eurydice January 28th, 2010 1:25 AM

i have a few things i would love to see in an upcoming game
first i would love trainer customization. i dont really like how the trainers look in some of the games.
second i would like to have something like the pokepark but where you can bring any kind of pokemon not just "cute" ones. i would love to have more interactions with pokemon.
and third i would really love it if they allowed you to choose what pokemon you would like to battle with instead of always sending out the first in the list.
and fourth maybe have something where you and your friends could link on wifi and like go catch pokemon or something. not just trading and battling but some new wifi stuff would be awesome.
i know its really unlikely any of that stuff will get put into a game but it would be really cool

Have to disagree. There should be a few more fire types but what they really need is just a little more diversity in water types. Water is life and if you consider the amount of marine life out there it only makes sense to have many water types. Though that begs the question, does anyone else miss dive? :P

Though I know I've mentioned most of these in here before I'd like:

1) An Ice/Dragon type. I've pretty much created it and it's evolution line 30 000 times over in my head but whatever. xD
2) NO NEW POKEMON TYPES. Thank you =D
3) I've always agreed with keeping the starters Grass/Fire/Water but what if at some point through the game you had the choice between say... Fighting/Rock/Flying pokemon. A second set of starters if you will.
4) The ability to change the difficulty level of the game. It doesn't have to change the region or the storyline at all. Just the ability to choose whether you want the the Champions highest level to be 50, 60, or 70+ (In balance with the rest of the game)
5) Bug catching contests, and something to spice them up a little...somehow...:P

You can change which pokemon is first in your party...

I think she meant for the game to give you the option to choose which pokemon to send out when the battle starts, instead of it automatically sending out the first one. Although I think this would take away some of the challenge.

Aah...I've just always imagined the trainers throwing their pokeballs out simulatenously and just hoping they match up better...:P

On topic though, I think the rival concept can really be built on. Or just add more of a "friend." DPPt saw us travelling with people. I think it'd be cool if you actually got a call from your rival or friend saying he/she needed help with something then you could head out and actually help them with whatever they were trying to accomplish. It wouldn't have to be plot related but could unlock some neat side quests with some handy rewards, whether it be rare pokemon or a hard-to-come-by item.

Actually it could just be anyone random, showing that by winning so many battles and defeating the Elite 4 you actually gain some sort of street cred. Everyone seems to know who is Cynthia is, how come no one know's who you are after you beat her?

I saw this article on pokemon.jp a little bit ago I wondering if this is the first info on the 5th gen or not or maybe a completely new series. Either way hopefully it is something worth while. Anyone else hear anything about this? Maybe February Coro Coro issue will give more detail about this. Or if somebody could give me a better translation then google translator.

From what I can read, its on about a completely new series. Its in development for release later this year. Part of me thinks thats too short of a period for the 5th generation, but either way, its an RPG. Maybe Pokemon will expand into the tactical RPG genre?

Lunarian January 29th, 2010 12:56 AM

What more types to added huh?I'm quite satisfied with what we have already,just mix em' all together like usual and we have a complex type-system :P Hmm,new region is a must,new cool-looking characters are a must as well xD And,a zooming option?Cool!Not to forget the backsprites,I hope they stop making retarded looking ones (I'm sorry if this is offending).Ah the last thing is,try to complete the old Pokemons' evolution lines until they are all three stages of evolution 8D

XCHAMPX January 29th, 2010 1:50 PM

Should the next Gen games start to transition into more 3d aspects? I think so the basic sprites r getting old to me.

Shiny January 29th, 2010 6:55 PM

What'd you mean 3D aspects? Wasn't Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver all in 3D?

Its a little known truth, but this is correct.

Infact, with some action replay codes, you can access the camera controls, and it shows all the models used are actually 3D, and not the Animal Crossing 3D in which things are actually 2D models with a 3D effect placed on them.

spike6958 January 30th, 2010 3:56 PM

How many Pokemon do you think will be added this time, im thinking about 110-120 it seems about right to me, I mean look at it so far
Kanto: 151
Johto: 100
Hoenn: 135
Sinnoh: 107
What do you think does that sound about right?

Agreed. If my perdictions are correct xDD we should be seeing something similar to the kanto and hoenn new pokemon count, and at most 2 pre-evolutions (like how hoenn had)

I wouldnt mind seeing new types like light or virus, but Im scared that they might completely screw up the playing field. In gen II, the dark and steel type additions were needed. I really dont see the need for new types, but Im curious how it will affect the games.

Buoysel January 30th, 2010 5:23 PM

I don't know if anybody has seen this or not, but I wanted to share it because I thought it was exciting.

The original press release, along with Junichi Masuda's Blog entry on the announcement, have now both been translated by Bulbagarden webmaster Archaic. Given the mention of new Pokémon being included, and the statements that these games will be an "inventive rebirth" of the series and that the staff are "doing their best to exceed every Pokémon game before now", it would now appear that this is indeed an announcement for a fifth generation of main series games as was first speculated. This would be an interesting turn for the series to take, as two generations have never shared the primary console; while Generation II could be played on a regular Game Boy, it was designed with the Game Boy Color in mind.

The February 2010 edition of CoroCoro, due out in only a few weeks, is set to reveal a "surprising announcement", which will be related to this game, as well as the upcoming Pokémon movie, Phantom Ruler Z. In addition, we now know that the episode of Pokémon Sunday to be broadcast on February 7th will include an appearance from Junichi Masada himself, though no specific details have been released about what may be released here as of yet. With no Generation V Pokémon yet revealed, this would make for the shortest amount of time between the revelation of a brand-new Pokémon and its debut in the main series should these games be Generation V.

If that is correct, we could have the official announcement of the fifth generation in a few days.

EDIT: well it appears that you guy already know, but shouldn't that be in this thread anyways?

I saw that part about this game exceeding the others, Im thinking that its possible. HG and SS has their flaws too, and I have the hoenn remakes buzzing in my mind. ARGHH its making my brain hurt. I wish they would hurry up and tell us what the new game is going to be

That's actually kinda true. LOL

For new types, I would think there should be something that can be super-effective against a Dark/Ghost type. Yeah, wishful thinking, I know. XD

rocky505 February 1st, 2010 6:08 AM

The only things I want are a dark gym, a dragon and normal Eevee, The first gym not to be rock but bug or normal. Also hoping for a fire priority move to kill scizor.

But that's off topic so...
More ghost pokemon. I'd like a ghost/steel and a ghost/dragon (another one, one is not enough, and I know about giratina origin).
And you can pick one member of your team to come outside of the poke ball and follow you around.
And dragon/fire. How has that now happened yet? And an evil team which doesn't suck as much as it's name. Team rocket, suckish name=suckish guys.
Uuuuh, how bout, Omega Death Construct (yes, O.C.D...), coolish name=Scary guys who DON'T train wurmples or suck. Well, ima go do stuff.


you got ur wish.there heart gold and soul silver =Phttp://www.pokecommunity.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
