Game Freak working on new game! To be announced soon!
 
So gamefreak is planning to show off their next game soon. It's not a mainstream pokenon game(probably) and they don't handle spinoffs so maybe gamefreak is doing something different this time.Thoughts? Source:

Moving this to Pokemon Gaming Central since it seems to be concerning Pokemon games still. Until more information comes that it's a non-Pokemon title, at least. :)

Z25 December 28th, 2014 1:26 PM

Alright, thamks :) Wasn't sure if it belonged here or the gaming central.

Z25 December 28th, 2014 4:40 PM

Oh yeah, i remember that. I think this is a new ip or a small chance of an spin off, the fact that serebii tweeted it first though is interesting, he usually has inside info on upcoming pokemon games.

Boured December 28th, 2014 8:52 PM

well as long as its good it will be fine

Update: just so you know I know he said that TPC doesn't do spin-offs but i honestly hope to god it is a PMD game that is better then GTI but i know it is unlikely because they did not say that Chunsoft would be involved........unless they purposefully did that so people would not come to that conclusion..........nah couldn't happen.........OR COULD IT *DUN DUN DUN*

Pinkie-Dawn December 28th, 2014 9:05 PM

This is either going to be the predictable third version/sequel to XY or a new IP like Soriti Horse.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire December 28th, 2014 9:38 PM

Could be Gen VII, I kid but that is always a slight possibility.
I think it may be a new IP. GF tends to take a break mid gen at least ever since RSE (IRC In Japan taking 2003 (between RS and the remakes plus Emerald), 2007(between DP and Pt), and 2011 (between BW anc B2W2) off.) So that gives them some time to work on an IP. I guess it could be Z though as FrLg and Emerald came out like 8 months or so apart in Japan...Z by July anyone? (though adding fuel to my doubt is that the movie around the time that the third version (sequel in B2W2's case comes) comes out at least since Gen III focuses on the mascot(s). And the 2015 movie already has three legends with Hoopa likely to be added in so there's little room for a Zygarde promo (but then again Kyurem's movie had five legends but four of those are members of a Quad).)

Can someone fill me in on what IP is?

Lets be honest, that blob they posted over on the GF blog was obviously not a Pokemon, and it was too random to be anything Pokemon. Here its open at least, but the person saying this makes me think its HarmoKnight 2. Which is as fine as anything else tbh.

Pendraflare December 29th, 2014 5:33 AM

If they haven't announced that it's a Pokémon game, i'm leaning more towards that it might be something not Pokémon related. I just have a feeling the next game will be released in Spring 2016 and not late next year. (Not often that we go to them for anything not Pokémon related...)

blue December 29th, 2014 5:39 AM

I highly doubt it to be another mainstream game given the closeness of the release of ORAS. I've learnt from past situations like this to expect something less ground breaking such as Pokemon Tretta.

Jakeings December 29th, 2014 5:46 AM

I hope its an announcement of battle frontier DLC really.

PkmnTrainerElio December 29th, 2014 6:07 AM

Either it's DLC or a new mainstream game, I am hoping it's DLC... I want the next new generation to start in 2016, so it gives Generation Six a three year run...

Ip means a new franchise, for example harmoknight was a new franchise made awhile back.
And i would a new mystery dungeon that fixed the problems with GTI, especially if it was on wii u. Although a harmoknight sequel would be cool as well but from the sounds of it, it may end up being an entirely new ip gased on this quote from one of the delvlopers that they interviewed about it. Here is the quote:

epicbiscuit23 December 29th, 2014 9:49 AM

hey thats cool!
what it will probaly be like
And now we are going to announce...
Me: (omg its gonna be pokemon z!)
Telltale games tales from pokemon!
(the stage is bombarded by angry pokemon fans )

Ah, I get it, thanks :D

Personally, I like announcements themselves, so just that is awesome. If it's Pokemon related, even better.

Z25 December 29th, 2014 11:41 AM

Np and agreed. If it's not pokemon then i hope it's a wii u title. Actually i just remembered something about what it could. This patent was filled:

Maybe this is it? It would certainly require prepping and is something new.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire December 29th, 2014 1:17 PM

I wonder if such a thing will be related to the main games or be able to interact with them. Like how in some of the spin offs you got special event mons such as Manaphy.

Z25 December 29th, 2014 2:55 PM

IT probably would be compatible with the main games. I would suspect something special would come from it.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire December 29th, 2014 8:24 PM

Maybe it'll be related to the 20th anniversary of the Franchise?

That could be a possibility, but still it's interesting to see what they're going to do in terms of how the anniversary is going to be handled.

Odyssey December 30th, 2014 6:03 AM

This sounds interesting. Even so, the information is too vague to be guessing things, but I too hope that Game Freak takes a small break from Pokémon, even if it's their most successful franchise.

I did not know the 20th anniversary was coming up. Interesting, maybe a gamefreak or another pokemon direct like with X and Y showcasing either 2 smaller games and a look at the franchise or maybe it's Pokemon " Z" with the theory of a new region and around 40 new pokemon coming true with a 2016 release maybe, but this is unlikely. I could also see a similar situation but with Plus and Minus if the rumors for that are true, which again is unlikely. So it's probably a smaller game if a pokemon games as it will be quite soon for either to happen.

It's in 2016 (February 27). Of course it's still 14 months away. XY were announced in Janurary of 2013 and released 9 months later. So perhaps it could be Z...but waiting another four/five months to make an announcement doesn't seem like soon. It could still be Z though. Emerald came out eight months after FrLg in Japan so they may do something similar and start Gen 7 on February 27th as Garnet and Peridot (with Aquamarine/ Topaz as the third/forth versions). Of course though it'll require them to show Z soon and to release it around July. Then show GP around Fall.

Ps: Garnet and Peridot are just my preferred names for future games. They aren't rumored names.

Z25 January 7th, 2015 7:59 AM

Ah, i see, then maybe it's a side game if pokemon related. Perhaps Z gets announced at E3 for January 2016 or maybe later, with another filler game in between?

Sorry for the double post(/bump if to early) but i realized that almost every January is a big nintendo direct showcassing a ton of games for the year with more at E3. Do you think we could bear something from gamefreak then, if not a pokemon game?
