Hopefully we'll get some info on the new region or at least some sort of teaser.

 

[Waffle-San]

I think we're all in agreeance on the return and improvement of dive!!
The elements need physical moves too! HG/SS and CoroCoro!! Can't wait for the weekend!! =D

Providing there's no more Eeveelutions I'm happy! :P

Judging on how things have happened with Eeveelutions so far I would guess they are still going to make more. Like a dragon type, Ghost type, Fighting type, Ground type etc etc. They will probably stop when Eevee ends up with one for each type since Eevee has the DNA mix up it has at present.

What I really want to see is a Dark type gym. So far its the only one they haven't done. Also maybe if the E4 was done like a tournament where you have to battle your way through all other entrants before fighting the E4 instead of just getting there and battling the E4 straight off.

Maybe they could change the Contests and make them more like in the anime where you enter a battle but have to do styled attacks to earn points.

Plus I would love to see some new evo's for some pokemon that currently have none.

 

[インフェルノの津波]

Anime-style contests would be awesome, I would kick my friends butt lol. I wonder if there would be a dodge option...

 

[Mujahid]

march the 15th !!!???....That is close.
Man what a week this is going to be .

 

[Haza]

I would die if there were such a thing as Contest Battles in these upcoming games... <3

 

[Pokestick good times.]

I'd be hugely annoyed if they put too much anime-like things in the games. Anime is anime, games are games. I personally don't want to have to see more anime stuff in the games too. That'd be horrible.
Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings here, but this is just my opinion.

 

[Superjub]

What I'd like to see in the new generation:

• Jynx to be destroyed.
• Dive to return.
• Maybe you can see your hero flying through the sky when you use fly? :\
• You can customise your character (hairdressers, tailors etc.)
• Dragon eeveelution.

 

[SolarAbusoru]

Well, about the Fly thing, They let you fly your Pokemon manually in PKMN Ranger Tracks of Light, so them doing it in gen 5 isn't impossible, it may happen, may not. (Would be damn cool if it did though, and like in Ranger, it could bring about new ways to catch Pokemon, battle in the sky, hell yeah.)

 

[Pokestick good times.]

Mhm, but that would take away the simplicity and casualness of just flying and arriving to a town in seconds. Taking away that would probably anger alot of people. Plus, flying is a safe way to get to a PokéCenter, if you fly manually and meet Pkmn on the way, say, if you have a poisoned Pkmn in your team, it might faint until you make it to safety. It'd still be cool tho.

Did I ever mention that you could ONLY fly manually, nope, in Tracks of Light you can choose to fly auto or manually. Same should be done here, you should be able to choose to fly auto or manual.

(also, sorry if I came off a bit....mean.)

Or simply don't include traditional battles in-flight. Maybe a more obstacle-coursey challenge or have the flying Pokemon use their own special aerial maneuvers to attack other Pokemon. Tracks of Light may be on to something here.

I heard something about one of the new games in development at Level-5 - the DS card they're putting it on has a higher information capacity than most other games. As in, they have bigger DS cards than what you see now. I could be totally wrong as I don't know much about how such things work, but if utilized with Pokemon, it could mean more game than we have expected up to this point. Which means some of the larger ideas on here could be feasible. Just a possibility...

d/p is 512 megabit, if gen 5 is 1024 megabit then 3D graphics are possible. Hell the n64 didn't even need more than 512 to make stadium 2 BUT there are more pkmn now. 3D is definitely possible. I really want cell shaded.

 

[raekuul]

Cel Shaded would be good. Isn't that how things worked in Megaman Star Force, anyway?

I second a Dragon Eeveelution. On top of that, I would love to see Evereon, an Eeveelution (normal type) that can only be obtained by having Eevee hold an Everstone. Eevee: The only Pokemon that can defy three generations of evolution rules.

Would anyone object to a Pokemon Stadium-esque game on the DS using the expanded card and the dongle method? Maybe it'd be a special bonus for non-DSi users.

Speaking of the DSi, should that have had a Pokemon 3rd Gen mode to emulate the old Dongle method? Ideally, Nintendo would have abused the new hardware to make even more money from Pokemon by having DSi owners download Pokemon 3rd Gen games onto their DSi, but then again they were only human and didn't expect... whatever I was trying to make a point about.

 

[Esmas]

Ew. No. No cel-shading. If Pokémon Rumble and Mega Man Star Force are examples of cel-shading, then no thank you! At least not for the main series, anyway. I'm happy with their regular, old style, and I wouldn't exactly appreciate it if Nintendo went and made all of their games (even handheld ones? O__o) 100% 3-dimensional. I think they should just stick with their 2.5D and everyone'll be happy with that, it's quite original, since most games are either 2D or 3D.

I wonder how far Nintendo will go, though?

fixed, don't be a haterrrrrrr

 

[Waffle-San]

fixed, don't be a haterrrrrrr I have to politely disagree with you, Cel Shading is half the reason I loved Wind Waker so much.

Fixed to be respectable.

Anyways I've been thinking about Stealth Rock and what it did to the metagame and I really hope they nerf it in Gen. 5. It's not that I think it's broken or anything I just mean, half the flying types out there aren't used almost entirally because of SR. Moltres and Articuno (more so Moltres) might even see jumps to OU.

I'm hoping they make it stackable, like Spikes or Toxic Spikes.

(100th post in this thread!! Woo I have no life!! :P)

It also defies most bugs any fighting chance. They finally get bug buzz/u-turn and they invent stealth rock. (facepalm)

 

[Spikey-Eared Pichu]

And even so, Bug is the least used type -_- I'm not interested in any of the above. Keep Stealth Rock as it is, whatever. Fly, if they make it like Tracks of Light, good for us. 3-D graphics, ew.

I'm interested in new Pokemon and new Pokemon design. I can only hope for a:

-Dolphin Pokemon
-Reindeer Pokemon
-Echidna Pokemon
-Will-O-Wisp Pokemon
-Angel Pokemon
-Swan Pokemon
-Koala Pokemon

These, I'm interested in.
