My friend told me about them. He said they might be a spin off game which I hope is true instead of a Kanto remake.

I guess the Gamefaqs E3 leaks was not that far off with his post. I don't see them remaking G1 again because they already did on the GBA. They will probably remake D&P for Gen 8.

99.9% sure this is legit. The whole Pokemon GO integration thing seems to be true given by the updates I'm hearing about.

Wonder if there's an announcement due soon?

New game.

For the SWITCH!

The only thing that had me hype about the pokemon news was this:

The Pokemon Company also made a third announcement: they are working on more core series games that will release for the Switch in 2019!

Either Generation 8 or Diamond and Pearl Remakes now that's news I wanna hear.

So they are pseudo Gen 1 remakes?

Looks like gun, but I'm sick of Gen 1 Pokemon. I would love a Gen 4 remake since Platinum version got me back into the series.

I would of preferred something like mystery dungeon instead of gen 1 go. Well at least I don't have to spend money on Pokemon again this year unless I find Ultra for $20. Still no reason for me to get a Switch yet either.

i'm all hyped for this. i'm ok with gen1 for the first switch Pokemon game. as long as the next one is gen 4 and or 8. thinking about it they could do miltible gens in this one game.

I'm still holding my breath for a Gen 4 remake.

And it would've been cool to have another set of Mystery Dungeon games. It's my favorite Pokemon sub-series.

Since these aren’t Bank compatible no deal.

It has been confirmed to only have the first 151 pokemon, alolan pokemon and that new pokemon mentioned in the trailer.

I'm at least kind of excited by the co-op. My wife and I should be able to enjoy that.

And it does look good, which gives me hope for the future.

Game freak be like: Oh ye gods! Gen 8 is ruined! ...But What if? I were to port over an old game and disguise it as new product? Hohoho delightfully devilish Masuda.

*sees avatar pic*
What kinda funky abomination is that? Is that a super saiyan Tom?

If it means Gen 8 would stop pandering to Gen 1 that'd be great. Now if they decide to make the tutorials optional I'd actually buy the game

Dang, Pichu looks like a Mr.Mime head with feet and a Pikachu face. :lolol
Honestly though some of these designs look better than the original and overall this is an interesting find. Liking Noctowl's design.

That's really interesting!
Raikou's edgewolf design is pretty hilarious~

R&B was a rush game which is why they cut down to just having only 151 Pokemon. Some of the Glitch Pokemon in R&B can become Johto Pokemon when trading them via link cable. It does explain why Ho-Oh was in the first Pokemon anime.

Because Gold and Silver were being developed and Ho Oh was apparently initially planned as the ultimate Bird legendary in Gen 1. Also Lugia didn't exist yet until later, though we don't know if that was before or after the second movie was being made

Is it weird that I like a lot of this beta stuff more than what we actually got?

Nothing wrong with that. I'm digging the Octillery that's more tank/soldier like than what we got in the final design.

Wans't Tirtouga also plan to be a G2 Pokemon at one point too?

What I'm seeing is an attempt to use Gen 1 nostalgia to pad the sales for a testbed of a game.

I mean, most of what I see are things that either were popular demands or some pretty out there ideas.

I'm personally more excited about the new ground broken as far as connectivity and specialized hardware is concerned. I've been waiting for them to start taking advantage of the Switch's inherent modular nature.

That beta Raikou looks kinda badass, I wouldn't mind seeing it reworked into a new Pokemon.

Alongside that Clefairy Hitmontop thing? No, those were just random designs Sugimori came up with for the magazine

I've seen some people that are not very happy about this

https://www.polygon.com/2018/7/10/17...sing-disney-xd

I can understand why they are not airing it but still its not like he is in actual black face, he is just dressed up as a monkey.

Honestly I kinda agree, that’s really not that bad. Still I can absolutely understand why they wouldn’t even want to risk it, cutting out one episode that doesn’t even sound plot important seems like a much better idea than potentially stirring up something up.

It’s actually a bit more racist to compare him actually dressing as a literal monkey to a racist caricature of black people.

How? Are people just that sensitive? Please tell me there is a good reason.

Because 'monkey' is often said to black people as an insult. It isn't a new thing either and I STILL can't fucking believe Marvel's Iron Fist series on Netflix thought it was ok to have Danny Rand call a bunch of black people monkeys when training them martial arts as that show already had enough controversy about racism.

Anyway, Pokemon's getting funko pops

Back on topic before this thread gets prematurely closed...

I demand these features to be in the next main game without the bullshit excuse of "it wasn't in the original" if it is a Sinnoh remake.

"Meet your friendly rival!"
GODDAMMIT.

I thought they’re already were Pops.

Remember when Gary was a little piece of shit that you wanted to beat over the head with a chair leg and even his own grandfather thought he was a prick? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I'm glad Gen 2 got a remake already. I couldn't bear to see what they'd turn Silver into.

Kanto got a remake already, too. This could be coming for Silver.
