Were you disappointed in no Z?
 
It appears, at least for now, we are not getting a Pokemon Z as almost every Pokemon fan anticipated we would. With that said, are you excited for the entirely new games or are you a bit saddened Z is not coming?

Charlie Brown February 26th, 2016 7:14 AM

I'm excited for the entirely new games! It has been a couple years since XY came out and I did feel that if we were to have another game in Kalos it would be dragging out the region for too long. I'm keen for some more freshness! ORAS seemed like a big step-up from XY imo in terms of how the 3DS and its capabilities were used, so I'm excited to see those things taken to the next level in a new region with new Pokemon 8)

esperance February 26th, 2016 7:14 AM

I wouldn't say we're not getting Z just yet. It may be like that we'll get Z after we get Sun and Moon. They've gotta use Zygarde's new formes somehow.

Venitardus February 26th, 2016 7:14 AM

I was fine for whatever we got! I was open minded about what game would/will come out and be announced.

pkmin3033 February 26th, 2016 7:15 AM

Relieved. Kalos felt very much like a trial run for the 3DS; it had a painfully forgettable story, a pitifully sparse amount of new Pokemon, and whilst it was a huge step up from Black and White, it didn't feel like they'd put much effort into the games. Whilst they would have been able to correct this with Z, the differences between the vanilla versions and the third game are never particularly huge, and in my opinion it would have taken huge changes. I'm glad they're moving on to something fresh...whatever form that is going to take.

MudkipBoy February 26th, 2016 7:16 AM

I've never bought the third game in a series so I'm not particularly bothered to be honest.

Hikamaru February 26th, 2016 7:16 AM

I'm not overly disappointed, besides generations tend to last around 3 years so it was natural 7th Gen was going to be coming this year.

Sirenita55 February 26th, 2016 7:16 AM

I rarely buy the third game so it's not a huge loss for me, although I would have liked to explore Kalos more.

I still think those may be anime exclusive, along with Ash Greninja, or potentially just a part of whatever these new games are. We still have yet to officially receive Volcanion either haha. But you are right, Z may still come eventually.

Question : Does Pokemon Sun and Moon confirmed to be new Gen VII game ? Or just a remake/squeal of Gen VI

Sopheria February 26th, 2016 7:19 AM

Nah, more than anything else, I'm just happy for a new game. In fact, I'm glad that it's something entirely different. Z would have been really predictable and wouldn't have given us much in the way of speculation, at least not as much as the mysterious Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. I think this will be much more fun to get news and updates on ^_^

Hahaha yes, this is also true. There's only so much they could've done with a third version in Kalos, whereas there's sooooo much more to speculate on for completely new games :P A lot more fun for us for sure.

Ho-Oh February 26th, 2016 7:23 AM

It feels odd not to have 'Z', but given that Black and White wasn't tied off with Grey... it doesn't feel as bad. I mean they could throw a curveball and have it a few years later but I doubt it. Happier with Generation 7, because new Pokemon and new story = excite.

Tsutarja February 26th, 2016 7:23 AM

Yeah, I honestly think something's going to be done with Z aside from the anime. It wouldn't seem right for them to exclude it from the games, and at the same time, nobody else seems to have come forward with revealing the various formes of Zygarde in either XY or ORAS, too.

Lycanthropy February 26th, 2016 7:25 AM

I'm always glad to see a new story. The third versions never really appeal a lot to me when they are approximately the same game with just a few extra features. Black and White 2 however, were a lot of fun since they were like re-exploring the region in a sequel of the story.

Pokémon has always added a third version or something later, so maybe we'll just have to wait a little longer before we're getting Z? I doubt they would give Zygarde extra formes just because of the anime.

WingsofBliss February 26th, 2016 7:26 AM

I'm excited, but not as excited as I was yesterday when the logos and names were leaked early. :P


I'm a little disappointed that we didn't get to see any footage of the new games, but I think we may start seeing some more stuff within the next few days. As of yesterday, Nintendo has registered domain sites for the games in several languages, so something's bound to show up really soon. IIRC, didn't the first announcement of the Pokémon Direct inform us to check Pokémon.com at the conclusion of the Direct? I'm certain it did, because I had posted about it in the Speculation Thread.

Iceshadow3317 February 26th, 2016 7:28 AM

I will not be disappointed until we know we aren't going to Kalos period. They left so much open that in plots and what not. Plus I didn't want Kalos to end so soon.

My hopes is that the game will work like Johto and we will return to Kalos after this new region's league.

The fact that they didn't give us info on the starter pokemon and 2 main legends make me wonder if they're hiding something else.

KorpiklaaniVodka February 26th, 2016 7:29 AM

We'll get Z.

I honestly think Sun and Moon are spinoff games.

I am 100% sure that they aren't. There was a new bird pokemon in the trailer that they were working on.

Necrum February 26th, 2016 7:34 AM

I'm honestly more disappointed that they hardly showed anything. Z might still come, I mean we have a whole set of Zygarde forms after all.

The entire video leading up to it was main series games, why the heck would they give a history of pokemon right before announcing spinoffs?

That was Talonflame. :)

Christos February 26th, 2016 7:44 AM

They might keep Zygarde's formes as anime exclusive. Pokemon Z should have come out months ago if it was happening. Maybe Kalos is the second region in Sun/Moon.

Nekaku February 26th, 2016 7:54 AM

I'm glad the concept of 3rd versions are done myself.

I wonder if the train station in Kalos could potentially connect the two games/regions?

I think he's actually referring to this:
