Default 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.

Iwata, Satoru, "Investor Relations: Third Quarter Financial Results Briefing for Fiscal Year Ending March 2010", Nintendo Company Japan, 30 January 2010.

I will say a censored version of what I said on YouTube.

*craps brick*

Someone at Game Freak and Nintendo deserves a group hug. From everyone on this forum. Now.

I am not excited yet. I still want to try HG and Ranger 3, but of course, these games are a must to be bought.

I literally cannot express how excited I am about the news.
I hope it turns out to be a good game so that it rounds off the year in the most fantastic way.

EDIT: I don't know why, but I just thought of something:
I've read somewhere that Nintendo is planning to develop/has started developing a new hand-held console with greater powers than the Nintendo DS. Could it be that the Nintendo company is releasing many Pokémon games within a somewhat short time to keep the fans busy while they complete their project or something?
I know it sounds very odd, but I thought it made a slight bit of sense, seeing as how I can't find any other appropriate reason.

Oh boy a fifth generation how exciting! They had better give lots of pokemon more evolution patterns, unlike Generation 3. After all, I can't think of any animals to base any more pokemon on! :O

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.

Wow, this is great. A tad bit early, but great.

@FreezeWarp - 3D battles on the DS? IMO, that would look krappy.

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.

True. I had always expected Gen-5 to be on the new platform, with Gamecube-like graphics. I am quite surprised it won't be.

I wonder how long it will take to come out in North America?

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.

If they release new pokemon, and I mean a whole set of them, it's generation 5. New Generation = New Pokemon.

This is something I posted on another site.
Quote:
Also I think these pokemon deserve evo's.
Spoiler Alert:    
Rapidash - It could be like a pegasis pokemon maybe fire/flying.
Farfetch'd - Maybe a big bird pokemon.
Weezing - Early a Zeplon pokempon was mentioned and I agree.
Jynx - An old lady pokemon or ice queen.
Eevee - Maybe Spiriteon or Dragoneon.
Girafarig - Maybe it could have two heads?
Durnasparce - It should be either Normal/Flying or Normal/Ground.
Tediursa - A branch evo to a polar bear.
Qwilfish - Just a bigger version I've seen less creative evo's.
Magcargo - A big Snail Pokemon covered in rock is what I imagine.
Corsola - Maybe a dried up coral pokemon.
Octilary - A squid pokemon.
Delibird - A huge whte halk pokemon.
Smeargle - I can't really think of anything but I think it needs one
Masquirain - Pretty much a version of it with four wings and really high speed
Mawhile - A huge monster covered in steel.
Volbeat/Illumise - Since both these pokemon are realated they should both evolve into an electric/bug lightningbug pokemon.
Spinda - Not much to say about this.
Seviper - A snake in armor it'll be Steel/Poison.
Bannette - A think it got cut off because Dusclops got one.
Chimecho - Maybe Chimecho with many tales.
Luvdisc - Maybe a mermaid pokemon?
Kriketune - A bug scary bug pokemon.
Combee - Maybe a male evo?
Pachirisu - A flying sqiarel of course!
Gasrtodon - I think it should be made related to lapras.

And Pre-evos
Spoiler Alert:    

Onix - Maybe a small ground worm?
Lickitung - I can imagine it being pretty cute.
Tangela - On a video on youtube someone had a pokemon with a sprouting seed I think it's perfect.
Kangaskhan - How long have people said they wanted to play as the baby?
Scyther - A cute little bug pokemon maybe a branch evo to Pinsir.
Tauros/Miltank - A little caf.
Girafarig - Maybe just it could be just it's tail?
Shuckle - An incredbly wesk yelow worm pokemon.
Volbeat/Illumise - An incrdbley small and cute bug type.
Topius - I don't have much to say about this.
Absol - A small dog pokemon with a small blade.
I know some of these are pretty on creative.

Animals that should be based off pokemon that I haven't mentioned.
Spoiler Alert:    
Flamingo
Zebra
Ram
Koala
Antalode
Anteater
Donkey
Dolphin
Mosquito
Buffalo
Vulture
Goat

I'm going to have to agree. 3-D would be a nice addition, but I don't think the DS would be capable of presenting 3-D well enough to make it a plus. If Nintendo released a new handheld with enhanced graphic capabilities it could work, but I asuume this game will be for the DS so...

The only pokemon that NEEDS an evolution is Dunsparce. It's the only thing that could save it.

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

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.

No evolution for Farfetch'd. It must keep its glory of being a mediocre pokemon, but Jynx would do well with an evolved form.

To many emotion can not compute! Just Awesome. Long life game freak

If they're gonna make a Pokemon season about the 5th gen (which is more likely) at least make a bit less childish... like the first season

It's already been done. Have an Arceus hold a Sky Plate to make it pure a Flying Type.

I knew someone would say that.

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

If there's gonna be any eeveelution, it's gonna be dragon.
and what's wrong with a pure flying?
nothing.

anyways...I would cry if that was really the grass starter.
I always choose grass, and it's ugly. D:

There better be brand new Pogeymanz and not just pre-eveloutions or evolved forms of old Pogeymanz!
