The Pokémon Board on 4Chan was a light with activity yesterday, after an anonymous user going by the name of “Mr.XY” claimed to know what’s coming in the next Pokémon games. While the poster didn’t reveal any details about his identity, (maybe this is a sign of the rumours not being true), he did release a ton of of supposed inside information regarding the games.
Pokémon’s shift to 3D was a big mistake, as the series’ roots in 2D design make it difficult to transfer important game mechanics into a 3D overworld.
why do other games pull off 3D monster collecting JRPG games just fine? Look at Jade Cocoon and Shin Megami Tensei for examples.
Answer should be obvious.
No other videogame franchise is as merchandise driven as Pokémon

Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
The Pokemon Company has a solid thing going right now. Well, it’s been going on for a while, actually, but it has been a while since a new typing has been introduced to the popular monster-taming series. The latest one, Fairy type, was introduced back in Generation VI (Pokemon X & Y), so it does seem like it is time to bring in a new one. Check out Jason Capp's article for more.
Really? 4chan as a news source?
Next thing you know people will claim that Kotaku is a site for legitimate journalists.
Didn't someone from Gamefreak confirm a while ago that the starters would be single type through their entire evolution chain? After all this Fire/Fighting nonsense. Kinda puts a halt to the rest of these rumors if he can't even get the typing right. Tho some of those do sound interesting and would be neat.
News leak.... Source: 4chan..... -_-
These sound like good ideas....and I'm sure they'd make excellent additions to the Pokemon Formula....
But...I can't take 4Chan seriously as a news source....this is 4Chan we're talking about....the Mos Eisley space port of the internet...never will you find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
4chan reports are just as credible as NeoGaf reports (they're both very salty).
