"Shocking" Pokemon Announcement Coming Next Week

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Have neither of you seen the Pokemon Broadway play?

I'm a child of the prairies, we don't get Broadway plays there.

I can't imagine anything actually shocking they might actually announce about Pokemon. I can think of many things I would like to be announced, and many thing I really do not want announced, but nothing shocking. My guess is that they are playing on words and we are going to get something Pikachu related.

But man, I really hope it is Pokemon Snap Wii U. I really want that.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!
