New Pokemon title to be revealed this week?

We’re all waiting for that that ’third’ Pokemon title after Pokemon Black and White’s release last year, although Japan have been waiting since 2010. However, it looks like the wait might finally be over.

Hopefully there is one announced for the Wii U as well as the 3DS. Not only are pokemon games cash cows, they are also excellent games.

NukaCola4500d ago

3DS = Dual stand alone games that work with the 3DS Pokedex

Wii U = Single player game with an online battle or better yet: An MMO-style maybe. I would love to see something like Phantasy Star, where you can party up online or at least be able to pull friends in. Nintendo is pretty standoffish about letting strangers play online together. (family friendly and all) but I think it's what us Pokemon fans have wanted for years now.

LX-General-Kaos4500d ago

Hopefully with the new way that nintendo is trying to do things, we will get some sort of online pokemon. An MMO would be perfect for the franchise. The TV show is basically an MMO in itself.

Pokemon on the 3DS is a given, but the wii u version would be a nice surprise. The Wii U controller and graphic capability will take pokemon to the next level.

tigertron4500d ago

Yeah, they definately need a Pokémon MMO, preferrably based around the originals in Kanto and Johto. It should include all Pokémon too.

The Wii U controller screen could be used for selecting Pokémon, their moves and the Pokédex.

mike1up4499d ago

That's what I am hoping for. Oh, did I say hoping? I meant BEGGING!

If the 3DS is getting a Smash Bros. game, then the WiiU should get a (real) Pokemon game. It's only fair.

LX-General-Kaos4500d ago (Edited 4500d ago )

A new starfox (R-Wing game) would do wonders as well.

CaptainSheep4499d ago

If they announce a Wii U game which is completely 3D and is totally free roam-ish, I'll buy a Wii U the day it's released.

Pokemon Doesn't Need to Sue Palworld, It Needs to Get With the Times

The Nerd Stash: "There's been a lot of talk about Pokemon and Palworld recently, but if anything, Pokemon's new competition should be a sign to change."

Fortunately for Nintendo, the legal team is separate from Game Freak’s development team.

NotoriousWhiz137d ago

Unfortunately for us, as their legal team seems to be more competent than Game Freak's development team.

gold_drake138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

they do tho .. IF there is something to sue for. IP infringement is such a delicate thing.

but absolutely agree on the change

GoodGuy09138d ago

That, have longer dev time, and absolutely get rid of Nintendo as the exclusive platform. Imagine a AAA pkmn game on current consoles or next generation.

But money, they'll make billions with little effort.

badz149137d ago

you know that's never gonna happen

FinalFantasyFanatic137d ago

Gamer Freak, Creatures and Nintendo all have a stake in the Pokemon franchise, Nintendo especially will never let them go, I don't know how Creatures or Game Freak feels about it. Plus, the other two don't have a financial incentive to ditch Nintendo, they make mega bucks regardless. Although I think Nintendo should help Game Freak out more since they're clearly struggling, other they'll all just have to accept longer dev times and bigger gaps between games, or maybe just make some cheaper low-tier games in-between.

shinoff2183138d ago

Idk yall. I'd take a Pokémon jrpg over a Pokémon with guns, online play etc. Plus wasn't Pokémon mobile pretty fking big like 4 years ago then covid hit.

--Onilink--137d ago (Edited 137d ago )

Even Scarlet/Violet had sold 24million as of early November (and undoubtedly sold even more during the Holidays), its not like they are currently suffering.

Yes, there are plenty of things I would like Gamefreak to do better, and yes I happened to like Palworld, but not because its a Pokemon clone, because its not, but because its a good survival game, something that I have zero interest for the mainline Pokemon games to become.

Most publications keep bringing up these topic ls just for clicks, because clearly the game is your typical survival game (most who do well on PC) with some Pokemon sprinkled in and not a Pokemon competitor, the core gameplay loop is clearly just Ark with dinosaurs swapped for Pokemon like creatures

And again, while I’m enjoying the game itself, I hope it doesnt set a new precedent for what we expect from game devs these days because, based on their other games, this developer really seems to basically just try to go as close as possible to ripping off other games without getting into trouble and then not really following up on those projects as promised (Craftopia players seem particularly angry).

I doubt they ever expected the discourse around this game to reach this level of popularity to push those insane sales numbers, and they actually take the opportunity to increase the quality of their work

FinalFantasyFanatic137d ago (Edited 137d ago )

I'm going to say something somewhat controversial, the last set of Pokemon games weren't that bad, it wasn't a great game, but a good game if we ignore the performance issues (and I personally didn't have many bugs).

They just need more interesting towns and NPCs (give them interesting dialogue, there's literally no reasons to talk to NPCs), interesting areas/locations (like the sunken ship and Bellsprout Tower), and some decent side quest, there isn't really any interesting side quests in those games, and fix the barely there lore for the game (Idk even know what was going on with those 4 "legendary Pokemon"). And maybe add less new Pokemon into the next game so they can transition more of the older Pokemon into 3D.

I think Scarlet/Violet had the potential to go from a good game to a great game if they implemented most of those ideas, but they also needed more development time to optimise the game as well.

Profchaos137d ago

Yeah agree id take a remake of red in the style of the links awakening remake any day of the week

Profchaos137d ago

No they don't I don't want any of the gameplay anywhere near Pokemon the only link between them is the idea of Pokemon except there's guns you enslave humans and Pokemon and there's a survival aspect.

Pokemon is fairly family friendly can't see Nintendo going ok let's give them m16s and slaughter each other
