GET YOUR HYPE VIDEOS

GET YOUR BICYCLE MUSIC

THIS IS THE MOMENT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR



Crobat, pls, be ok bb

 

[ArchedThunder]

Hold up

Have we been wasting time here for weeks and these are some bullshit spin offs?
Are these not mainline games by Game Freak?

Click to shrink...

Let's Go - Yellow Remakes by Game Freak in 2018
Gen 8 - 2019
Is how I read it.

 

[ILikeFeet]

I'll be at work :(

 

[wolftendo]

Remember Andre from Gamexplain said there was six embargos today.

We got so far
-Mega Man 11
-Splatoon Octopath Expansion
-Mario Tennis
-Street Fighter
-Yuku Express Island
And Octopath

Just disregard!

Click to shrink...

Splatoon Octopath expansion? Now THATS something i would like to play.

 

[mossypne]

Why's everyone so excited for this when everything points to it not being a Standard Pokemon game doesn't it?

 

[b3llydrum]

Gimme that GOLDENROD BIKE THEME

 

[NeonStars]

Didn't he just say next year's games will be more exciting? That doesn't necessarily mean this year's are underwhelming, just that they aren't as big as something like a new Gen.

Click to shrink...

Thats true. But how would he know that a new gen is coming next year?

 

[JCH33T-]

This is the fastest coronation I've ever witnessed.

Click to shrink...

Zell just went from a street beggar to King of the thread in minutes. Fascinating hahaha

 

[Mushlikeahusky]

Do we get a trailer to coincide with this event?
Is it tomorrow is it today? Find out next time on dragon ball z

 

[Dark Cloud]

If there is a media thing for over an hour for the game, that has to be a somewhat big deal.

Click to shrink...

If it has an accessory like Emily said and Pokémon Go function they'll want the media to play with it. It'll take some time.

 

[ILikeFeet]

Splatoon Octopath expansion? Now THATS something i would like to play.

Click to shrink...

the Splatoon RPG we were all hoping for

Click to shrink...

Pretty sure these are the core RPG 2018 titles

meaning they are mainline

but next year is probably Gen 8

 

[Deleted member 8112]

HYPE/REDEMPTION MUSIC

 

[Rave_norris]

So since Zell said the game will be underwhelming i assume the leaks are correct?

Click to shrink...

I hope he is saying this because there are mostly the 151 pokemon.

 

[Agni Kai]

Wait, our Lord and Savior King Zell said that there will be 2 Pokémon games to be released this year, so that's a good thing; but he also said to be more excited about 2019 too.

What does this mean? Will we be imprisoned in this thread until next year? Was Fosko right after all? Will we eat crow?

 

[SweetNicole]

From what I gather from all this Emily, two games -- Let's Go! -- are coming out this year, which will disappoint people expecting a core RPG in 2018.

Instead, the "core RPG" titles will be coming in 2019.

Click to shrink...

I'm not "in the know" but that's how I would read it, I think.

 

[KRBM]

Lemme lay down my impression based on King Zell's posts:

2018: "modernised" version of Pokemon Yellow
2019: Generation 8 - a whole new game

 

[VorpalNonsense]

Whoops. Posted this in the wrong thread at first.
For reference, from today:

King Zell

The news will be on the 30th japanese time

Click to shrink...

i think people should lower there hype "this year" and start the hype in 2019 ... lets start the clock

Click to shrink...

i didnt say nothing is coming out this year, actually 2 Pokemon games for the switch coming this year, but next year is more exciting ;)

Click to shrink...

It's not a direct guys, it's a media event that last for 90 minutes.

Will get the news after that. See you all in a couple of hours.

Click to shrink...

The event starts at 10 am Japan time, news will be out after 11:30 Japan time.

Click to shrink...

Zell also said it would be a 2019 game too so RIP.

Click to shrink...

I didn't say that

Click to shrink...

its not a single game event

Click to shrink...

Emily

King Zell has been on a roll today.

Click to shrink...

So that's...7:30pm PST.

Edit:

 

[Lady Bow]

Does this mean Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee are 3DS and the "Big" 2019 game is Switch? :(

 

[Playtendo]

Crikey. We are all hyped up and these games don't sound too promising...

 

[ArchedThunder]

Thats true. But how would he know that a new gen is coming next year?

Click to shrink...

Probably the same way he apparently knows that Pokemon will be at this media thing before it even happens.

 

[Deleted member 9145]

Like again I doubt it's mystery dungeon or something

Nintendo NEEDS to hit its sales goal

Mainline Pokemon games ensure that

 

[majesticfailure]

Oof, seriously? After all this wait it's gonna happen at 4:30 AM here? Gah...
Someone's always gotta get screwed I guess. Thanks, timezones.

 

[ClickyCal']

So the reveal will be at 10pm est?

 

[Lotus]

Pretty sure these are the core RPG 2018 titles

Click to shrink...

These are mainline games by Game Freak

And the ones coming next year are also mainline games by Game Freak

 

[Dark Cloud]

King Zell went from street rat to Prince Ali.

 

[Neoxon]

Thanks for keeping us sane, king zell.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Does this mean Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee are 3DS and the "Big" 2019 game is Switch? :(

Click to shrink...

No, 3DS Pokemon is done.

 

[Xavi]

Oh god...Don't even think about it.

 

[byDoS]

I think the Let's Go label is gonna be a series on its own.

Won't be a mainline one, but a "bridge" between casuals/spin offs/mobile and the mainline series.

That's what I got from reading Emily and King Zell posts

 

[Deleted member 249]

Hang on, I'm confused- the games this year are not "main series RPGs"?

 

[Dark Cloud]

Guys just remember the media event is over exactly 7 hours from now. Use that for your time zone. 7 hours.

 

[JCH33T-]

King Zell went from street rat to Prince Ali.

Click to shrink...

You gave me the second LOL of the day

 

[Platy]

why is the countdown for 7 hours?

Isn't the Japanese Variety Show on 31st?

isn't that supposed to be tomorrow/

 

[Lady Bow]

No, 3DS Pokemon is done.

Click to shrink...

I hope to Arceus you're right.

 

[Evergarden]

Whoops. Posted this in the wrong thread at first.

So that's...7:30pm PST? Is that right?

Click to shrink...

Yep, that's correct

 

[ShiftaDeband]

Hang on, I'm confused- the games this year are not "main series RPGs"?

Click to shrink...

Where was this stated? Everything is still pointing to Let's Go this year and other main line games next year, right?

 

[Agni Kai]

Somebody give my man King Zell a tag. He has earned it.

 

[Deleted member 426]

He probably meant 2018 gets Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee and 2019 will be the real next gen (8) Pokemon Games.

Click to shrink...

What if he meant mystery dungeons this year, and let's go next year?

 

[ILikeFeet]

some half-ass game for 2018, Gen 8 for 2019. probably both revealed at the same time

make me happy, Game Freak

The dude outright said they are Switch games.

 

[EDeadman94]

Thank god for jet lag!!!!!!! 4am Europe time let's get juuuuuuu huuuurd!

 

[ClickyCal']

"Is let's go mainline or spinoff", the next "Is smash switch a new game or port".

 

[JCH33T-]

Is it even for real? Why isn't anyone else reporting this on Twitter? Like Pokèjungle, Poke X Perto etc?

 

[SpottieO]

I do hope that it's more than just a straight Yellow remake content wise. Hoping for some good quality additional stuff.

They don't seem to be.
