Pokémon Generation 5 CONFIRMED
Generation 5 of Pokémon has been officially confirmed by Nintendo Japan through a press release. There will be a "number of new Pokémons [sic]" (Iwata) in the game, to be released near the end of 2010. However, it is rather odd that Nintendo plans to release a new Pokémon generation in Japan during the same year that HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions were released in the United States, Europe, Australia, and Korea.

I'm excited, but also dreadful about the possibility for them to botch the game. The last games haven't been bad, but there are a lot of things people want, and I'm curious which will be added (3D battles and 3D-360 degree landscape are two for me). Its also possible they'll just try too much, too little, etc, or botch the Pokémon (the 4th gen Pokémon seemed a little... weird).
Just the same, I'm quite excited for more news, if not the game itself. As for Shadow's theory, that seem's rather possible. The DS seems to be nearing the end of its cycle, as is the Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3, so I am curious. |

A new engine is definitely an exciting prospect, as will be the host of new features/Pokémon that will be added, but I can't help but think that this is happening way too soon. After all, Game Freak is working with the exact same hardware that supported D/P, and the graphics and sound capabilities are already being more or less fully utilized. It would probably come down to just adding more *things* rather than making blanket improvements to the graphics/sound/effects/etc., which I'm not sure is the right way to go presently.
And since this is the first generation that I'll be both anticipating AND regularly checking a forum for, I'm going to need to devise a approach to dealing with the spoilers that will inevitably crop up--either to accept them or attempt to avoid them as much as possible. |

Probably six months like always.
I think what sucks is that Chuggaconroy says that because it's a new pokemon RPG doesn't mean it's Gen V so now nearly all the chuggaconnroy fanboys that don't think for themselfs are going to reject ths. Last edited by Magmaster12; January 31, 2010 at 03:13:14 PM. |

My thoughts:
Region Geography: Far Western Japan Evos wishlist: Baby Pkm - Kangaskhan Baby Pkm - Tropius or Tropius - 2nd Stage Skarmory -2nd Stage Pokemon wishlist: Sabertooth like Ancient Velociraptor like Ancient Magpie like Koala like Loin like Tiger like Something that make catching all 28 Unown actually mean something Last edited by masterzhangcaosun; February 2, 2010 at 12:36:50 PM. Reason: thought of some more ideas |

magpie? no thanks
those things are so annoying. Kangaskahn's baby? interesting thought... Luxray=lion Evolving legend=not gonna happen Pegasus evo of Rapidash = pure win evo for dunsparce I agree is needed, though farfetched and jynx could use one. Last edited by Flare Soru; February 2, 2010 at 10:18:11 AM. |

a) Arceus isn't normally a Flying. It is a Normal type b) Arceus is technically every type thus not a pure Flying. On Topic, the more I think of this the more I think this will be a new side game Last edited by masterzhangcaosun; February 2, 2010 at 02:12:50 PM. |
