Professor Ivy in superior 3D? there's a case for it
it's easier to just say "never", you know
Real talk here, the reveal might be at E3. I have no insider knowledge, but I imagine that so long as we hear about the game by the end of E3 that it'll hit this year.
Expressing your views is fine but he's quite persistent with rejecting people's thoughts at times. That 'what defines a generation' wasn't a one-time thing, he said something along that line many, many times at any point a potential gen 8 thought was brought up, to the point where it became a joke of sorts. He's either really persistent about simple opinions, or actually knows things and wants people to consistently stay on the right track.
Yeah I think so too, what a tease TCPi are, probably giving us a heads up, either this week or next.
I have accepted the fact that there won't be a game this year, i recommend that you all do the same :(
Anything else is just made up dead lines by impatient people.
What if the Lapras photo was made by somebody that had insider knowledge of the next game being set in Kanto, so they created an image with the knowledge that as Kanto leaks/rumours inevitably arose, their image would seem more and more real?
I am truly sorry my friend, but this ship has already sailed to the new lands of Pokémon 2018, so I am afraid you will have to walk the plank.
The reveal of the first console (potentially non-remake) Pokemon game being so late just doesn't sit right with me. Notice that all the reveals in May have either been for remakes or more details on new games.
Keep in mind that the hype levels for this game are off the charts. I could easily see them waiting for E3 and doing a huge blowout.
Considering that the game has already been announced at last E3 (even if it was just "we are working on it" announced) that would still line up with that list. Previous games would get names and nothing else IIRC before the actual details/gameplay was revealed in May.
Making a fake image would only hurt their credibility. If they had insider knowledge it would be better to post what they know than to waste time making a screenshot that will be debunked.
Again, him being persistent is not a sign of anything other than him having his own opinions of how the Pokemon series should function. He and I have had many arguments about how Pokemon should be from a gameplay standpoint (particularly difficulty and region design), and he's been persistent that many of these ideas wouldn't work. Yet, I don't take his views to be representative of what the next game is going to encompass.
I think people are reading waaay too much into what Joe is saying.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there were already rumors of a return to Kanto before the photo "leaked." I don't think the faker (if it is a fake) would have needed any insider information.
Thank you for posting what I have been thinking for weeks but have been unable to find the words for lol
US&UM was revealed in JUNE to be released in November of the same year
Tpci had to have made some cheeky Tweet before that everyone just dismissed as nothing.
Yea, was it not something like the week before E3 in that direct that made everybody so mad/worried that Switch would never ever get a Pokemon game, and was thus doomed ?
If there is on thing that Pokemon is consistent in, its that they do whatever they want, whenever they want(and now wherever they want too).
People are putting more weight into the consistent announcement reveals around this time. The twitter thing is more auxiliary to that.
And this game may very well not be a new generation. People have been saying that for months now.
We'll find out. Nobody really knows anything concrete other than that there is a 50% chance of it coming this year. Everything at this point has been a bunch of wishes. If we don't have anything by the end of this month it ain't happening this year.
And another completely made up deadline based on nothing. Who says they can't announce the game at E3 and release it in November?
It's possible, just highly unlikely given how TPCi typically operates. Though I did mention that an E3 reveal would be more likely if Nintendo had more of a hand in this game's marketing.
That said, a reveal in June would also decrease the chances of it being a new generation.
I imagine the short notice is to temper expectations, given graphic fidelity and features won't be where they should be, which is likely why they are using a pre-existing region vs a brand new one.
I don't get the notion that the game wouldn't be announced at E3... If Nintendo wants it announced at E3 they'll announce it at E3. Its not like the past must dictate what happens in the future.... especially considering that this will be not your typical Pokemon game.
If TPC needs to announce it beforehand so they can start selling/marketing merchandise than you can bet that they would not wait for E3, regardless of what Nintendo wants.
It's certainly possible that this will be the one to buck the trend and get announced at E3, but it's not something as simple as "if Nintendo wants it to then it will".
