Pokémon for Nintendo Switch Speculation Thread 2 | What Defines a New Thread?

sooooo if they add a handful of new legendaries, new forms for Mew, new Eevee evolutions, different forms of Kanto pokemon like in SuMo, new locations, new engine and gameplay mechanics it wouldn't be a new generation because they didn't hit 70 Pokemon?
Can someone explain to me these generation rules?
I've been looking at this crazy persons tweets. Is he that crazy that he actually believes everything he is saying, does he even understand what he is saying? Sending out single letters to random follows that may or may not correspond to something? Some people are just desperate to become internet famous I guess? All I know is that I have a headache from trying to understand his "riddles"
People (not GF) make them up as they go.
In ORAS
they had climate change after the events with the primals. New Pokémon from other regions were there instantly
That event is canon so that could explain new Pokémon (even species imo) being available in existing regions.
And still count as a new gen.
There is. Since gen VI Pokémon games have been set in a parallel universe.
well yeah, but the logic doesn't make any sense. people wouldn't count a Kanto game as a new gen even if it did far more than any 'remake' because it's Kanto.
Semantic arguments always annoy me. The bickering about what consists of a new generation is so senseless. The definition is bound to change over time since the games won't always adhere to a strict "this is how you make a new generation pokemon game" formula. People need to calm down with the Socratic arguments.
This isn't true read what I posted :l
All they need to do is add new pokes/forms/and make a gameplay change that changes how battles play out that was not in previous games
Every generation of Pokemon has a different flow to the battles for one reason or another due to changes
I keep thinking of this when people harp on about a Red/Blue 2. Since I dont expect the next game till 2020 your looking at a nice year or so with the anime fillering it up and merch just releasing new kanto stuff i guess.
All Pokémon species are still implied to exist and simply aren't available in older games. It's very different from Mega Stones which are the result of a different event that didn't happen in pre XY games.
In ORAS, you got already existing Pokémon appear in Hoenn, if you did the same with new ones it wouldn't make sense. To make it more clear, in the real world animals can migrate with climate changes, but you don't see new animals come into existence out of the blue.
Why would that need an explanation? New animals are discovered on Earth all the time, why not in the Pokemon world?
I think a few new mons and a ton of regional mons would be the way to go for a kanto remake
Game Freak created entire new parallel universes to explain why Mega evolutions weren't in the earlier games.
They will do a detailed, dumb as fuck explanation here.
One or two new Pokémon being discovered in Kanto? Sure. Enough to sustain the merchandising, Anime, TCG, and everything else? lol
That parallel universe stuff is just a silly way of acknowledging the many remakes and third versions. It's fluff.
I mean, comic books have been rewriting cannon for a long ass time. People act like there is some code that game freak will always stick too and never deviate from. They do the same with Nintendo as a whole. Its like people see a pattern in games and their sequels, then assume that pattern will never be broken and vehemently argue against any idea/suggestion/speculation that doesn't conform to the pattern.
I guess what i'm saying is that people tend to think very "inside the box" when it comes to speculation.
Just say the new Kanto is in another dimension.
Surely that explanation will not piss of anyone.
Imaginary patterns =/= going out of your way to make everything canon and coherent in very complex ways
If GameFreak considered rewriting what's canon and what isn't they would have simply done so instead of doubling down on it with USUM.
Come to think of it, we've never been to Kanto in the mega timeline...
Maybe in the cartoon Ash will take a joy ride with Poipole to ULTRA KANTO
I mean
there doesn't even need to be a BS explanation
if there is a kanto remake there is very little chance they won't add new locations, and there is no reason those new locations couldn't have new pokemon.
He knows absolutely nothing. He's just trying to get attention. Look back in his timeline, he's just spouting endless amounts of bullshit
I said how cool it would be if pokemon had an area that looked like the main city and holy heck I hope this is true.
Okay, I'm going to start keeping tally here now. In all seriousness, how many days from now do you think Pokemon Switch will be announced? Not the announcement of the announcement, the actual announcement.
I'll keep track of the average of all guesses. Lezzgo.
I'll keep track of the average of all guesses. Lezzgo.
Can I give an average? I'd say anywhere between the next 23-30 days but not before that.
15 days, may 10th.
2 months after last direct, 1 month prior to E3.
Might not be a pokemon direct, but I think we get some form of direct.
My guess is 27 days
edit: originally had 29, but wanted to change to a tuesday

CURRENT ESTIMATE: 21 days from now (May 16 2018)
Naw, I'm averaging all the numbers to keep track of the tally, so throwing in an average in the sample size would just throw things off :P
I don't know why we couldn't go back to Kanto as a new Generation. If they wanted to they could add more gyms and locations that we never saw first time around. Even in the Anime there were more than the 8 Gyms we saw in either the games or the Anime as evidenced by the the fact Gary has 10 badges before he even challenges Giovanni, of which 7 are of unknown origin whilst the remaining 3 match up with Brock, Misty and possibly Erika's badges.
In Bad To The Bone we see another two sets of Trainers Badges which includes another 4 unknown badges as well as a whole set of 8 badges with no origin. That's a total of 19 Gyms that have never been explored in the region:
There were also the 2 Gyms from early on in the Anime that were yet to be certified Official Pokemon League Gyms namely Kaz Gym and Yas Gym. It wouldn't be farfetch'd (pardon the pun) for them to include all of these new locations and more in a Red2/Blue2 or whatever they decide to call them. There were even Anime exclusive locations that were never in the game so there's plenty they could do to expand on Kanto and make it feel new.
For a start I wouldn't have Pallet Town be the starting location, Pallet Town would be better suited as Gym location maybe even have Red as the leader. Plus the fact there are hundreds of Trainers who began their Pokemon League journey in Kanto but only four of them started in Pallet town, Ash, Gary and two others that were never named.
There shouldn't be a need to have to beat Gyms in any specific order which I know we have been able to do before to a lesser extent. The levels of the Leaders Pokemon and how many they use just needs to scale in relation to your current level/amount of badges already earned, a bit like when Brock asks Red how many badges he has in Pokemon Origins and picks two of his weaker Pokemon to battle him since he has no badges yet.
There's plenty of potential for a whole new scenario to play out in Kanto.

Last year at E3 2017, 13 June 2017 ;)
As for it's full reveal, I'll guess in 29 days - 24th May 2018
lol this is how desperate some are for Pokemon rumors now: listening to a dude who got permabanned from a fucking 4chan board for spamming rumors and posting poop porn.
What a world we live in. Some folks suffering from serious Pokedehydration! Should just hop on the in-game ladder with me imo. Hell, that Ultra Kalos tournament is starting this weekend! Plenty of stuff to do with the current games atm!
Pokémon YAAAAAAS and Pokémon KWEEEEEN
I mentioned this before - but perhaps a Pokémon East and Pokémon West. One would start in Kanto and another in Johto (forget the orientation). It would be slightly more open where the gyms would scale based on the order you tackle them in. Someone mentioned this could destroy any semblance of a story, but there could be workarounds.
