OP
TPCi said last year 300 people are working on Poke8 (this link IS in the OP lol)
The map itself in-game however was a relatively normal sized Pokemon map, however, despite the "scope" it was still a simple game. In fact the Spaceworld demo has more in common with Pokemon Blue than it does Gold/Silver code-wise.Not believing that rumour but G/S map was originally inspired by the whole of Japan, with Kanto being one of the locations, according to the demo.
Switch hardware is more than enough to fullfill their old dream.
Not going to happen tho.
one important thing to keep in mind about the countdown: the japanese pokemon twitter hasn't done anything remotely similar
if the north american twitter is truly counting down to something, it'll probably be the announcement of a blu-ray collection or something like that

It's entertaining but you can tell dude is just teasing when you get down to him saying he knows about some of the origins of Pokemon and beta stuff we're starting to see.
Maybe they outsourced.
Looking at how Namco was on Smash and Koei Tecmo os co-developing Fire Emblem.
Game Freak is not Nintendo but Pokemon is still the biggest franchise on their Systems, so I can see them putting more power on that.
Or Game Freak is gonna Game Freak and it's gonna be XY HD with all the weird quirks of a first new Pokemon Gen on a new system.
Those Pokemon names are terrible hahaToo good to be true, years with Gamefreak taught me I always should expect bare minimum.
Sometimes, even less than that.
Now, that's more like it.
Talonflame levels of blah. Love it

lolwut urbanization again? Wasn't that a key point in the Black/White games? Calling BS on this.
Tbh I am a little more convinced at this than all of those Bs twitter account ( that dude with the gengar profile pick is 100% some dude looking for attention, I'm ok with it tho, as long as it is not annoying )

This all sounds so painfully GameFreak it hurts
That Eurogamer quote is incorrect as we know the official staff count from Game Freak's website. And they are probably talking about the total number of people working on Pokémon across GF, TPC, TPCi, Creatures and Nintendo.
Also the number is not specifically about Gen 8, just the number of people working on Pokémon. XY was developed by around 500 people: https://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/26/500-people-worked-pokemon-x-pokemon-y/
sorry i don't quite understand the question, if you are asking if i was expecting something different, a bit but not too much. It is just that seeing it lay down like in that "leak" is very painful to read.
If you are aking if i think is real, i prefer to not believe anything until Game Freak unveils it and just enjoy the ride.
So you're kinda disappointed ( if this ends up being real of course )?
Also sorry for my weird question
i mean, is not that much information, but i wasn't fan of the UB concept or execution in SM and the idea of it coming back its kinda annoying so i could say a bit. I expected/wished for a return to the basics in terms of story and plot, about adventure and whatnot.
Again, if this is true. I prefer not to put any stock on it even if it sounds pretty Gamefreak XD
Yeah me too, I just don't really know what to think about UBs, it just seems like GF tried to tell us "Hey guys, we are doing something different, now come and buy!"
Idk, it's like doing something weird only for the sole idea of doing something weird
The reversed psychology is strong hereThe guy does preface his post with "Anyone can fake a leak"
But of course he'd say that, to throw you off the scent
That's what I fear too. There is just the American pokemon event, with treehouse members don't streaming anything (afaik) and only the english twitter goes nuts with the countdown.
Though I still think it's a good time for the anouncement of a new gen and for a new console, I'm just not sure if the countdown is for the direct or just pokemon day, or maybe the anouncement of a direct, but I feel somwhere around that time they might give us something.
And suddenly the war theme makes sense!
On the subject of staff size, I think it's important to note that Gen 8 likely has a ton of outside help, the games will undoubtedly have the biggest staff size yet.
I wouldn't even be surprised if they had a bit of help from Monolith.

I personally think they'll wait until April/May. I think they learnt from Sun/Moon and X/Y not to reveal it too early and then have months without talking about it.
They will outsource. There is no reason to put much much attention in the staff numbers.
Pokemon is different. If it hadn't been for Zell last year no one of us would have heard of a press conference where dozens and dozens of media were invited.
You just said it. King Zell. He hasn't said a word about next week having Pokémon info. That's really the only person I care to hear say a Direct is coming or Pokémon info is coming.
I don't know man; these things just happen.
Remember the Metroid Prime Trilogy that was heavily teased by "insiders" and then nothing was shown? I have the feeling that this time the announcement will simply happen and we won't even get a chance to hear from insiders.
With Pokemon I don't know what to expect. LGPE went completely undercover for a good while until the very reveal. Hell, we even had a legit blurry screenshot of it but nobody believed it.
I'm pretty sure that was less about them not wanting to develop a console game and more about them not wanting to move away from handhelds. Since the Switch is both, there's no reason they should have an issue with it.
Part of the broader "please, somebody be interested in living in the countryside" initiative in japan
I'm disappointed at the lack of fake Pokemon.
Images of fake Pokemon and fake scans are some of my favorite things in the lead up to a new gen.

There will be tons after the official reveal I'm sure. Can't wait until we start getting fake corocoro scans
Game Freak can have this for free:
Gwakamole, a mole made of avocados, grass type, kids will love it
Oh, I didn't know that I have to be a native speaker to make my thoughts valid in these forums, what a shame. My apologies, sir.
I'm just linking theories together, make of that what you will.
I think he means the 4chan leaker, your English is perfectly fine :)
Fixed that for ya.
Game Freak is taking that rumored Breath of the Wild influence very seriously.
To be honest both the 2017 and 2016 Pokémon Direct appeared out of nowhere and weren't rumored or leaked beforehand (SM logos were but that is a different topic).
The 2018 presentation was leaked only by king zell even though lots of people were invited.
The Pokémon Company takes its secrets very seriously.

I thought "Talonflame" was a cool name, though. Yeah, it's just two words put together, but it's two cool-sounding words put together.
