5th Gen The Generation Five Speculation Thread

[Pokestick good times.]

gen4: +107
now: 493
gen 5: 107
493+107=600

Yeah, a perfect number to quit the series on. Jk jk jk jk... That'd be horrible... No DP remakes XD

Nah, then they'd make 66 moar. 666. Awesome. Then they can quit. (Still kidding)

That makes sense. 107. Decent number, as long as they don't fill up with evos and legends, as in gen 4.

They shouldnt make more than 2 pre-evo/evolution. If Im following the parrern correct generation 5 should be a reboot just like generation 3 *hint hint wink wink RSE remakes*

lets see,
Generation 1= the begining: original something that we never seen before, didnt see generation 2 coming lol

Generation 2= mostly pre-evos/evolution: ever noticed that?

Generation 3= a reboot: introduced about 100-110 new pokemon, only had 2 pre-evolutions. (Wynaut and Azurill) and then came generation 1 remakes; Firered & Leafgreen

Generation 4= mostly pre-evos/evolutions: just like generation 2, which came the generation 2 remakes; Heartgold & SoulSilver

Generation 5: can you guess?

Where do you imagine Generation 5 is located?

I wonder if it'll still be in Japan...

The area around Hiroshima hasn't been covered yet right? Maybe they'll do that... hehe

I hope they finally get out of Japan, there are so many other places in the world to choose from!

Could you imagine using any of these areas as the location for a Pokemon game? I think anyone of those place would be fantastic. I wouldn't mind them using Arizona (Orre) again, since they didn't even include the Grand Canyon. :/ Maybe not Santorini, since Sootopolis already did that...

I don't know, Japan makes a nice setting. I'm disappointed that they blew all of Hokkaido on Sinnoh, myself. There was a nature reserve that had epic possibilities, but I forget where it was, what it's called, or if they used it. ^^()
It was in some National Geographic mag if that helps anyone remember....

 

[Destinyfate]

i agree it makes a good background (japan) it might be somewhere else

 

[Waffle-San]

Were the Sevii Islands based at all on Okinawa? Just curious, anyone know? Unfortunately Japan isn't the biggest place and they're kind of exhausting their material...

I'm still hoping for Jungles and Glaciers!! :P Cause they're so related!! =P

 

[Nintengod]

How a-boot... a less long E4 ending. 5 mins of speed up text is too much. Maybe lvl 80+ grinding area? In ice pokemon flavor text it mentions a snow country. I'd like to see 30 new ice type pkmn in the region. That'd be pretty sweet.

 

[22sa]

The Sevii Islands are based on the Izu Islands south of Tokyo; they're not Okinawa.

^Those islands.

I want to see China actually... I wonder how Shanghai and Hong Kong will appear in a Pokemon game... that'd be cool. :) The jungle in Brazil would be interesting too!

If they're going for 1000+ pokemon, they'd definitely have to expand out of Japan. I hope they don't goto some lame place like Taiwan or South Korea .... :< Although those are likely thanks to their proximity to Japan.

It's already confirmed 2010 release in Japan and for the DS. :P

Is it really on the DS?! That would be a first, a new generation starting on an older generation's hardware. I'm down, in that case.

 

[Myles]

I don't see why they'd drop compatibility with previous generations. They only did that with Gen III because they had too. But now that've come up with the one way trading idea and it's on the DS, so the hardware isn't incompatible either.

That's what they said when the games were first announced (or, well, pre-anounnced anounnced). It wouldn't be the first time either. The GBC was just a remake of the GB.

Now this has probably been answered within these 57 pages, but like most members here I am to lazy and tired to check it out. Does anyone know when this game comes to Canada?

 

[Myles]

No, only release information right now is late 2010 for Japan. Based on history, I'd guess early 2011 for Canada, but I can't be sure.

 

[Mew~]

So they have been confirmed for the DS, eh? Are you people sure it will be a gen 5 game :\ ? It may have been said its a RPG but it could just be a hoenn remake or somthing, maybe a new region but no new gen 5 pokemon (except maybe zoroark and zorua events or somthing?)... Though, I guess it would make more sence its gen 5 but every gen of pokemon has had its own console :\
Gen 1 = Gameboy (nintendo handheld Gen 1)
Gen 2 = Gameboy colour (Ninetendo handheld Gen 2)
Gen 3 = Gameboy advance (Nintendo Handheld Gen 3)
Gen 4 = Ds (Nintendo Handheld Gen 4)
Ya see? It just wouldnt be very traditional... or nostalgic? But, it is the DS's 5 year anniversary so maybe gen 5 will um, celebrate that?

 

[Haza]

I'd be pissed if it was a complete block off of previous gens though, but Im sure you would be able to trade just like from Red to Gold.

Consoles don't matter that much in a "generation".gold and silver were compatible with the original game boy too.same might be the case with the new games.They will be for DS but will also run on DS's successor and the Third version might be only for DS's successor (like crystal was only for GBC)

 

[Pokestick good times.]

A thought just hit me... You weren't able to trade anything between gen 1-2 and 3-4... Refered to as Game Freaks biggest failure ever by some... If gen five will be compable with gen four (which it SHOULD), then they would kinda be covering this dark hole, by letting people trade (to some point atleast, like Pal Park) between HGSS and (insert letters here)R(<)S... Awsum :3

 

[Mujahid]

i see no prblm in that as long as GF doesn't do something unthinkable !!

No they were not, im sure of it! The Gameboy colour and gameboy are two different consoles. Gold and silver were made for the gameboy colour, the sprites, features etc would not work for the gameboy :\ Its like saying platinum can work on a gba :\ The carts are different as well!

 

[Myles]

No, GS could work on the GB, just like about every other GBC game. The GBC was the second remake of the GB (GBP was the first). GBC carts can be read by the GB, they will just be in black and white. Crystal was GBC exclusive for certain reasons. But that's just like if HGSS had been DSi exclusive.

That's why shiny Pokemon shine, so that GB players will know they're shiny.
