Third Version/Sequels?
It's really early to even be considering this but after what Generation 6 did (not having a third version or a sequel to XY and instead going straight to ORAS) it got me thinking. What do you guys think will happen after SM? Will Game Freak decide to round things off with a third version or introduce something new with sequels? Or maybe break another tradition and revisit Kalos?
Personally, I think we'll see sequels to Sun and Moon, the Alola region offers a lot of potential and Game Freak could simply add new islands whilst altering the old ones. Perhaps one of the volcanoes erupted and now an entire island is destroyed, I think there would be a place for sequels to SM and would like to see how the region and story is changed. Whatever your ideas are I'd love to hear them :) |
It is hard to speculate what will follow from these games due to the fact that we still know so little and there has been no real pattern for game releases for the past two generations. If I had to guess though then I'd say a prequel. The sucess of BW2 would indicate that it would be the best move to follow up from Sun & Moon, but because a sequel has already been done then a prequel would be the most viable option imo. Last generation we got remakes in place of a sequel/third game and as I highly doubt we'll get another set of remakes for the 3DS, a prequel is the most likely follow-up. I'm positive there will be some sort of mainseries game after Sun & Moon, I mean they're not exactly just going to have two games for generation VII and then leave another two years empty without any further releases.

As I said in my own thread,
a third game will be good, maybe Pokemon Eclipse. And a third legendary, maybe a Bat-Lion Animal. |

Anyways I'm expecting prequels for SM if they aren't already prequels to XY that is. Perhaps Solgaleo and Lunaala were one Pokémon that got split into two halves at the end of a prequel story. To make it different from the Original Dragon they could make the legend be split in two, instead of three. It could get Solgaleo's body and Lunaala's color and wings. Or maybe Solgaleo and Lunaala have counterparts based on the Black Sun (alchemy symbol) and New Moon. |
I reallyreallyreallyreallyreally want a Sinnoh remake but the chances for a Sinnoh Remake is quite slim due to the gap between HGSS and ORAS was 5 years. But at the same time, having a third game for SM seems really cool so far from it's graphics and intriguing plot.
SO, I would absolutely LOVE if they do something like in HGSS, where you can explore Kanto post game, except in SM's sequel, you can explore Sinnoh post game. That'll just make the Sinnoh remake's and SM's sequel's demands all-in-one. I feel like SM and Sinnoh would be a good pair together because of their lore/mythology. (The Sun & Moon are in Space right? Space->Palkia 4TH GEN CONFIRMED XD) |

Sinnoh remakes could be cool, as long as they aren't too easy. I'm not sure about a prequel... :/
|
I'm mostly with Blue here, since it appears third versions are dead I'm likely betting on a sequel pair like B2/W2, or as he also said, a prequel could make for an interesting twist. But then, Game Freak always loves to catch us off-guard so it's hard to predict.
|
I'm actually hoping SM gets sequels as opposed to a 3rd version, and that is because of this:

XY needs to have sequels before we can even begin to discuss SM sequels. :(
|
It's hard to say anything with confidence after the 6th generation threw the idea of a third version or sequels out the window.
We could see them but we could just easily spend our time waiting on something that'll never come. Although I want to say that if we're not getting Sinnoh remakes they'll probably want to release something else during this gen... |
I think a new visit to Sinnoh would be better. Instead of a simple remake (since some people are so sure that we won't get any more remakes) and a simple third version (since other people are so sure we won't get normal third versions ever again), a Gen 7 story set in Sinnoh would be cool. It'd be an original story that would connect to Alola somehow and maybe serve as a semi-sequel to to Gen IV, but it wouldn't be just a rehash of the Team Galactic story.

I think its way too early to speculate, whether there'd be a Third Version for Sun & Moon, but I'd love to see sequels to the Gen IV Games & there most probably will be.

I see this gen either tying in the others (like Sinnoh) because of the anniversary or having remakes shortly after to help bring some stories together. There needs to be a new edge in story.. not just a new region with no connection, until after you beat the champion, to other regions. I mean the God pokemon is only big news in Sinnoh? come on. I see things getting interesting
|
I'm actually wondering at this point if it will even get a sequel/third version. It seems we aren't getting that with X and Y and third versions have never sold as well as the original, so maybe GF and Nintendo have agreed to scrap that idea altogether. Honestly that saddens me a little bit because the third version was always something I looked forward to.
