"In an interview with the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, the launch roll-out for Pokémon GO has been revealed. In this interview, Tsunekazu Ishihara, head of the Pokémon Company, says that the app will rollout in Japan, Europe and North America first and then later launch in South America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. No date has been revealed as of yet. In this interview, Mr. Ishihara also stated that they are working on another big project away from Pokémon GO."

Very interesting!

I think it was obvious they've got more than just Go and Pokken planned for this year. I'm thinking once they've released Pokken Tournament and Pokemon Go, there will still be a gap at the end of the year where they'll be aiming their next project for release. Assuming Go is released in the springtime and we get Pokken in March as promised, that still leaves a majority of 2016 empty for the next game to be announced and released. I'm looking forward to seeing what projects they will be working on this year, being the 20th anniversary I'm pretty sure there's bound to be new spin-off titles and perhaps a couple of re-releases too.

Terrible to hear my region has to wait very long for GO, but this other project going on does have a lot of us intrigued.

I think the next big project might be something on NX. But I don't know what.
I hope they will release the Johto games on 3DS shop like they did for the first gen... (I know that's not the bug project ;p )
I miiiiight be back?
And why am I not a supporter anymore >.<

I'm glad to hear things are making progress! I feel really inclined to say the "big project" is a main series game, but with no details to go by, we just can't know. I'm sure we'll hear more about it this year.

Pokémon 20 is looking promising so far :)

There's even more? Great to see they make Pokémon 20 as such big event. "Something big" sounds like they're going to make something completely new, maybe another spin-off, I hope we'll be hearing more about it soon.

Also, it's a shame that Go's release date still hasn't been announced yet, since I'm really looking forward to it. I feel really sorry for the places in the world that will have to wait even longer on its release.

I'm hoping it's a new game. Either Pokemon Z or Gen 7 will be good, because Jesus Christ we haven't had a new main game since OR/AS.

If the next "big project" isn't Z, this is terrible promotion of XY&Z and I question why they even branded the anime that way in the first place if the game isn't coming to fruition anytime soon.
