I think a new main game announcement is coming soon.

May be sooner than we think then according to Serebii's article.

Ho-Oh February 20th, 2012 6:23 AM

Well it would make sense to announce the third game now but idk 2 years after Black and White is kinda soon... Then again idk plat's timeslot lol.

blue February 20th, 2012 6:34 AM

It's most likely going to get announced then have a japanese release date for later this year then a worldwide release for end of the year or early next year marking the 2 year gap from BW, that's how it usually goes anyhow.

2 years is really enough I mean It's been a long time since B/W, I don't how do you feel it's still soon :/

Yeah I think they will reveal it sooner than April or May.

BTW does anyone Know on what day Pokemon smash is coming?

blue February 20th, 2012 7:49 AM

It's perfect timing actually... any later and it would begin to tie in with R/S Remakes and/or Gen VI.

It's always on Sunday morning in Japan, which means it will be Saturday in Europe and US time zones. Hopefully it's not hyped up for nothing important.

Palamon February 20th, 2012 8:51 AM

Well, that's a good question. Depends on when the information starts to get leaked. If information is leaked in the summer, then November 18, 2012. And everywhere else? March 6, 2013.

Oshakpop February 20th, 2012 9:06 AM

I don't think Masuda would tell us to watch Pokémon Smash this Sunday as an answer to "when are the next main series games coming" if it wasn't the announcement, or isn't a teaser to the announcement (meaning they will announce a teaser this week, official reveal next week")

HyperXhydra February 20th, 2012 9:16 AM

Maybe the new Kyurem's form will be revealed in Sunday, which is related to the 3rd game, that's why, but I hope I'm wrong, I want a new main game announcment.

Except....the quote says there were no hints to the new Pokemon game hinted by Junichi.

Its a sad thing, but in truth its a double play. He cannot legally tell anyone a simple yes or no, nor can he leave a hint that suggests either. What he said was completely neutral. He said you'll have to watch the show and see, then the synopsis for the show is provided and no announcement, hint of the announcement, or even signs that they are aware that they are supposed to give an announcement was shown in the synopsis. With shows like that, they have to have everything they are talking about during the time they are rolling in the synopsis.

The summary and trailer not having it is a sign that there may not be an announcement. Junichi was only saying that to protect his spot in his company.

If this interview happened on a Saturday in Japan, then it happened on Friday for us in the US meaning the Sunday Pokemon Smash episode already played. Right now its very hard to see where he is talking about due to time difference. From what I'm reading all the events have already happened.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire February 20th, 2012 9:55 AM

Well the events haven't already happened if it was talking about this week 20-26 even in Japan rather than last week...and if so that gives us less than a week to Speculate...
@Foever Grey is over due, besides Platinum came out two years after Dp, same with Emerald after RS (well they had remakes inbetween but still).

wombateiro February 20th, 2012 10:41 AM

Masuda was definitely talking about this week, check this Japanese page:

When I said this week, I meant the week which is now, lol.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire February 20th, 2012 11:24 AM

There better be something...I'm tired of getting my hopes up and then finding out it's another spin off...
Also maybe they will only announce the title and save the mascot imo Kyurem's other forme, for Corocoro. Also maybe it's a surprise announcement...
It could also be the remakes if not Grey...

blue February 20th, 2012 12:12 PM

So this Sunday we might hear of Pokémon Gray... that's what I'm hoping for.

So then the Pokemon Smash Show has already Played then Cause its Tuesday in Japan.

Also, keep in mind that Gamefreak has Trademarked Pokemon Adventure Camp. This could very well be a new type of Main Game.

Oshakpop February 20th, 2012 12:29 PM

Well for HeartGold SoulSilver the logos were released when the game was announced, the covers were released the following month.

Same for Black and White.. and probably the same for the previous games.

So I'm thinking: Gray/Grey announced this Sunday. First details released.

Kyurems forme released in CoroCoro in March 15ths issue.. news of a big game announcement in the following issue.

April 15ths issue includes official Japanese boxart, release date, and details of the game.

But.. thats if it's about Grey at all. While I personally beleive it's most likely Grey if any game, it's not completely likely.

I think he means the 25th which is this week...
Oh right forgot about those...maybe they're the new Stadium, Colleseum, Battle revolution. Kind of strange as he the person asked about the next main series game not the next game...but then again Bulbapedia considers Stadium,ect. as part of the main series so they might too...

wombateiro February 20th, 2012 1:33 PM

Masuda was asked precisely about B/W successor. So it's almost obvious his answer was about Gray or R/S remakes because they all would be the same type of game. Because of that Stadium series or Adventure Camp (it's not even sure what it'll be) even considered as main games, are out of question. They can't be answered as B/W successor because they are different types of games.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire February 20th, 2012 2:14 PM

Good point, missed that, so it must be Grey or Crimsonruby and Indigosapphire...
My bet is on Grey due to the Movie (the rest of the trio isn't present sure, but neither was The entire weather trio in Destiny Deoxys or even the Creation trio with Giratina and sky bouquet Shaymin (palkia was missing)).

P0kelegend February 20th, 2012 2:27 PM

Madusa was asked specifically about the Black & White sequel, so it wont be the R/S remakes. Also, he is talking about the Pokemon Smash episode which will air February 26th in Japan. Then on twitter he said:
"Please watch next week's Pokemon Smash live or check my Twitter!"

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire February 20th, 2012 3:22 PM

I was about to add that to my post xD
Anyways, yeah it can't be the remakes due to it being the Sequel to Bw (anyways RS is more of a Prequel due to taking place sometime before DPPt).
Oh twitter, well that'll be nice for those of us who can't see Pokemon Smash live.

Even though R/S remakes can't be considered as B/W sequel, they still would be modified versions of B/W, so they are all related and wanted by players. Masuda knows that, so he didn't exactly hinted if sequel is going to he released first or not. Both third version and remakes have equal chances to be released first.
