User warned: ‘lazy devs’ rhetoric
Because game freak is lazy. Old but still true.
Only today can change things, hopefully, the series and the longtime supporters deserve that 🙏

as serbi just pointed out we could get a side game reveal too. so you may yet get your wish.
Totally forgot about that, I'm curious to see (tomorrow or whenever they decide to talk about it) how the Pokémon Bank / equivalent is gonna work.
I would love a new Mistery Dungeon with a story of the same level as Explorers of Darkness/Time/Sky. It's the game I replayed most times in my life and one of my favourite ever. It has a very good gameplay and a beautiful story.
If they could reproduce the epicness we got with explorers of sky, time and darkness. i would love that
I will admit to never playing them. always assumed they were simplfied dongen crawlers.
Before It was listed as just treehouse Q&A, they could have just kept that name instead of adding let's go if the plan was to talk about both let's go and gen 8.
Can't wait for this. I've accepted that barring extreme circumstances I'm never picking up my 3DS again, so bring on Pokémon Switch!
If you will have in the future the chance, I suggest you to try one of these three (Sky is the definitive third edition, but also the other two are fine). They are, on my opinion, superior than the last Mistery Dungeon games (even though I liked the last one). And they aren't so easy, there are several challenging moments.
So we get prev gen reel for 4 minutes
Let's Go DLC for 2 minutes
Gen eight for about a minute long teaser.
Yeah, it was before Gen 7. At this point, I hope they just wait until after Gen 8 so that all of those new Pokemon can also be included.
honest question what made those games unique? outside looking in, they looked like over simplified dongen crawlers with a pokemon skin?
Agreed.
Full disclosure, it's the only game that's made me, uh, ugly cry. Several times. Per playthrough.
The story is kinda simple on paper but boy howdy does it get pretty dark for a Pokemon game and the pacing of the gameplay just masterfully balances out so you have just enough time for each plot twist to fully sink in before the next one comes up. It's kind of weird, I admittedly don't have the biggest library of games but I don't think I've seen anything else exploit the gameplay -> cutscene -> gameplay tempo like that.
Also that has to have been the longest postgame I've ever seen in a game, almost as long as the main plotline itself!
I think the one thing that could have possibly made it better would have been being able to make my -own- guild after a certain point. I think a Mystery Dungeon game on the level of Sky with all Gen 1-8 Pokemon and that option would easily rank as one of my favorite video game titles ever, and Sky already gets pretty close to that territory.
The dialogue is funny, the gameplay is solid, and the concept of pokemon as people is endearing.
They sometimes pose a challenge even in the early parts of the game which is also something different for this IP

The narrative and the adventure feeling were incredible for a pokemon game.
Didn't got any pokemon game after it that came even close.
They do evolutionary though
And Mega Evolutionary...well they did in 2013 :P
I've skipped all of Gen 7 as S/M never pulled me in, but got all the Pokemon besides event ones anyway.
The question is: Do I fall for this one or wait for Let's Go 2? I can't balance 2 Pokemon Collections (3 if you count Go which I stopped also)

I really loved the last one, Super Mystery Dungeon or however it was called. I wouldn't mind having that on Switch as a port or something. With Switch graphics would be so much better.
Your description is accurate, and it's actually the answer to your initial question. Pokémon. That's what made them unique.
It's like when people ask why Pokémon Shuffle is any different than any other puzzle game. My answer is always Pokémon. Pokémon "skins", Pokémon themes, make everything better.
No, but for real, just being able to play as the Pokémon themselves, even if it's just for turn based battles, it's something that I appreciate a lot. The lack of trainers is so appealing to me. That's what I didn't like about Pokkén. The trainers don't add anything to the gameplay, it should've been just the Pokémon fighters on their own, with their own personality and story, just like Mystery Dungeon characters.
Pokémon is a rare series with pretty awesome spin offs... BRING IT
I don't think it's a surprise that the 2 examples are that old. Pokémon spinoffs used to be awesome but not so much now (to me anyway).
One of the more recent spin-offs has spawned a hollywood movie and another is one of the better selling fighting games at present
GO was the biggest thing to happen to Pokemon since forever. I dont particularly care for it but evidently millions do. Mystery Dungeon games are million sellers too.
It's seven minutes, I seriously doubt that there is going to be JUST a logo.
They will show a trailer, count on it.
I figured adding IMO would make it evident that I was talking about games I personally liked.
Like other Pokémon directs, the majority of time might be spent on something else than the new mainline game.
I don't know. Don't think super would gain anything from that.
Mystery dungeon has been a handheld mainstay besides the wii eshop entry and they already reached their target audience.
And the point of the wii u ports is to let those entries get the limelight and achieve even higher numbers on a hip new system.
Super is 3 years old. Better develope something new.
Maybe I'm misremembering, but the ones for Gen VI/VII were focused on just those games right?
While this is entirely possible, I wouldn't take anything Stealth says as the word. I know for from people around him that he just hangs around the "right" people and "reports" on things while wording them in a way to make it sound like he knows stuff. Sometimes he's right, sometimes he's wrong. He's not really worth paying attention to.
Most of the 2017 Pokemon Direct was focused on Pokken DX, with Ultra Sun/Moon not getting much of a focus. The Gold and Silver Virtual Console releases were also revealed there too.
I'm sure this Direct will have more of a main-series focus, but don't be surprised if they open up with a spin-off or something.
Just realised that the new media create numbers will be out almost at the time.
Interesting morning for you nerds, ha? 😀
