"Shocking" Pokemon Announcement Coming Next Week

[Buizel91]

Live action Pokemon film? PLEASE GOD PLEASE!!!

I too, tentatively, would like this...

Have neither of you seen the Pokemon Broadway play?

I'd rather not xD

CGI Pokemon, taking a new spin on the franchise is more than welcome in my opinion. Everything else 80's and 90's is getting the treatment and i think it's about time one of the most popular franchises in history gets that treatment as well! xD

 

[The Grim Ace]

And don't forget that there was an 'evil' version of Pikachu in the very first Pokémon movie. Unless the evil Pikachu he is talking about is big on ethnic cleansing there probably isn't much to worry about from the masses.

Worse: evil Pikachu's ultimate goal is hoarding all of the ketchup in the world, anime Pikachu will be without the condiment it worships.

OT: Since shocking is probably a bad pun, maybe a Pikachu edition 3DS bundle and a release date for that Pikachu detective game. If it's shocking as in actually something new for the franchise, Wii U and/or 3DS based Pokemon MMO.

Captcha: pie are round. That's some inspiring words there, captcha.

 

[chocolate pickles]

A reboot of the universe to when the designs didn't look like ass and had some imagination and creativity to them?!?!

...Ah, who am i kidding? Only in my dreams, i guess.

 

[regalphantom]

Honestly, the only thing that would shock me would be if Nintendo had managed to genetically engineer some god-damn pokemon. In which case there would be a sudden case of me not being able to throw money at them fast enough.

 

[Tony2077]

i don't think there is really anything they could do that would be considered shocking at least for me anyway

 

[DaViller]

It just has to be pokken fighters. It's been known namco is working on it but there any info or footage of it yet. So rejoice pokemon fans, you finally get to play some actual fighting for once(outside of smash of course).

 

[FPLOON]

I know what's it's not going to be (but still wish it to be true):

Pokemon
The Animated Musical

Man, do I love being wrong some of the times... (But, also love being surprised most of the times, too...)

 

[MrBrightside919]

I'm crossing my fingers for a sequel to "Pokemon Channel"...bet you don't remember THAT game!

 

[spartan231490]

Pokémon MMO! Pokémon MMO! Pokémon MMO! Pokémon MMO! Pokémon MMO! Pokémon MMO!

...is what I'd love to see.

If they're smart, it would be exactly this. It's probably not going to be that. Maybe a wii game where you get to "throw" your pokeballs. A real-time version of pokemon would be interesting.

 

[Aiddon_v1legacy]

my guess would be that it's that Pokken Fighters game that been rumored for awhile. However, another wrinkle to this is that one of the people at the event is Aoi Yuuki, who voices a character in the anime (she's probably best know for voicing the titular character of Madoka Magica or Platinum the Trinity in Blazblue). As such, it could involve the anime.

Also, things we will NOT see:

A Pokemon where you can play all the regions
A Pokemon MMO
A Wii U Pokemon
Pokemon Stadium

The people involved have repeatedly stressed that they're not interested in any of these. Time to move on.

 

[JCAll]

Lemme guess it's a pikachu mega evolution so Ash can use his stupid rat without evolving it into the far superior Raichu permanently and retain brand recognition?

Seriously calling it.

The 'shocking' thing is just a pun to make them imply it's about pikachu.

There's no way Mega Pikachu could be more powerful than Light Ball Pikachu.

 

[Risingblade]

Mega Pikachu!

 

[seditary]

They're partnering with Kojima and Del Toro to bring Pikachu to Silent Hills.

 

[VanQ]

Live action Pokemon film? PLEASE GOD PLEASE!!!

I'm sorry but JESUS CHRIST NO! Why would you ever want that?

I'm hoping for the Pokemon MMO to be a thing. They'll probably make it WiiU exclusive though because at this point there's nothing else that can push the WiiU to the general public.

 

[K-lusive]

Truly shocking? Nintendo announching Pokemon failed and they'll bury the entire concept of pokemon along with all its copyrights/trademarks s long as needed for pokemon to be forgotten by every last living soul. Now that would be shocking.

They'll probably release something pokemon-related that will give them profit though.. Quelle Surprise...

 

[KingsGambit_v1legacy]

There are only two things they could say about Pokemon that would qualify as shocking:

1. "We're cancelling the series. It's done, there won't be any more. Thanks for the support over the years."
or
2. "The new Pokemon will be going in a more adult direction. There will be gratuitous sex, graphic violence, pokemon being torn to pieces with copious blood splatter. It will be R rated, have foul language, full frontal nudity, drug themes and pikachu will be perma-dead in the first five minutes".

There's nothing else they could say that would qualify as "shocking". Chances are there will be another game, it will be the same as every other, only for the Wii U and use the new tablet controller. SHOCKING! No, I didn't think so.

Live action Pokemon film? PLEASE GOD PLEASE!!!

GOD, PLEASE DON'T, PLEASE!!!

 

[waj9876]

Enemy Pikachu...

I have absolutely no idea what it could be, actually.

 

[Nathan Josephs]

the only pokemon announcement that could shock me is if they announced ash was going to shove a thunderstone down pikachus mouth and get that little rodent to evolve.

 

[AJ_Lethal]

It has to be Pokken Fighters. It just has to be that.
