I'm ready for a full 3D Remake of gen 1 for Switch or even a gen 1 that takes place a very long time later.
Yeah that's what I want the most. I want to revisit a Kanto that's changed and grown. I'd love to see Cinnabar Island expanded.Oh man, I'd be really interested in a Gen 1 sequel than a remake. I want to revisit Kanto under a new story.
Smash Bros is absolutely nailed on for 2018 I would think.
Pretty sure we'll see it in the first Direct of the year.
- Same engine as the Wii U game
- Inklings, Spring-Man, Ice Climbers and more.
- Updated or new versions of older characters. BotW Link with his items, Mario with throwable cap etc.
- 3DS, Wii U and new stages.
- New game modes.
Because new Pokémon is the main selling point of a new generation. Maybe we'll get a remake later down the road, but Game Freak isn't gonna start their Switch run with the franchise with a pair of remakes.Why does this Pokémon game have to be gen 8? There are just too many Pokémon, adding more too fast may alienate new and casual fans.
My guess is next year game is a remake, a remake for everyone; both casuals and pros: Kanto Revisited. Red and Green but the gimmick here is every single of the 151 Pokémon is the alternate, similar to Alolan Vulpix or Exeggutor. Every single one gets new typings. Think it as a parallel universe Kanto. That way all Pokémon in the game would be both new and old same time.
What makes you think that they're reluctant to create more Pokémon.They don't always follow a release pattern. BW got sequels instead of third version, XY did not get any third version at all. They can always surprise us but one thing is certain, they are reluctant to create even more pokémon. I think we might get more alternates rather than brand new pokémon.
If it was Sinnoh like what they're supposed to do next then that'd be lame but since Kanto is the one that everybody remembers the most, I can easily see them making another game in that region and then do Gen 8 next.Don't they always kinda push Kanto though? I guess Sun/Moon is more in your face about it with the Alolan forms and whatnot.
Also I kinda don't see Pokemon's debut on a console as a remake. They always start a new generation before doing a remake. Guess we'll see. Game Freak may be very traditional but they sometimes do break tradition like B2W2 instead of a 3rd version.
That hasn't even been a problem so far based on sales. It's not like they added that much anyway in gen 6 or 7.There are just too many Pokémon, adding more too fast may alienate new and casual fans.

When in Jan are we expecting here? I assume pretty early in the month?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the first week of Jan. I think if their plan is to continue the trend of one big 1st party game every month (not sure thats possible, but a man can dream) then they need to announce the jan one pretty fastWhen in Jan are we expecting here?

I do too, but not expecting that anymore. I thought going off of patterns, gen 7 was going to be a huge gen in terms of number of new pokemon, especially since they didn't need to worry about doing all new models for every single old pokemon too like in gen 6.I hope they Gen V it and make you do the main game with a all new 150 pokemon
That's a silly way of thinking, both Brawl and Smash 4 have disappointed people and with things like Smash Run and Smash Tour, no real single player content, extra moves being random, tripping, removal of fan favorites (rip Snake and Wolf), still no decent online, etc, I can't wait for someone to take a shot at Smash 5.
When in Jan are we expecting here? I assume pretty early in the month?
Yes. Recreate the original experience with new monsters and a new region. I loved it when they did that, even if the dex itself wasn't entirely satisfying to me.I hope they Gen V it and make you do the main game with a all new 150 pokemon

What gen 1 love? We haven't played in that region in a decade.I really hope that the first Switch game is Gen 8, and that it changes up the formula as much as possible and stays as far away from Kanto as possible. I'm sick and tired of any and all Gen 1 nostalgia, give another region some love, please.
In XY, you get a kanto starter by default, gen 1 has the most megas, the forest is literally viridian forest, Mewtwo is hiding in a postgame cave, the legendary birds,etc. In SM, alolan forms, a lot of gen 1/kanto references, etc. Also, kanto was in HGSS.What gen 1 love? We haven't played in that region in a decade.

Gen 4 remakes, but with better Pokemon type distribution, based on Platinum, and Riding Pokemon instead of HMs.All I want is for the Gen 4 remakes on Switch after the new one comes out

So does that mean another 100+ page thread where almost everyone declares the Switch a failure?This time last year we were all getting hyped for the Switch reveal event in January.....seems like that was only yesterday
The 14th is on Sunday tho. Directs usually are on workdays (usually Wed-Fri).When was the Switch Experience, the 14th? I'm betting on the 14th.

But modern Kanto in HD!! :D
They could, but why would they? People have been watching Directs for years. I think changing the livestream date/time would have more to do with the actual stream (i.e. amount of news coverage and viewers) than with its content. And I think they're happy with how things are going now, so I don't see a reason for them to change that.The Wed-Fri planning is mainly because they announce the Direct earlier in the week. Wonder if a Direct that would discuss (some of) the 2018 games would be announced earlier than a regular Direct?

yeah, i love R&B but we already did 30 rounds of gen 1 nostalgia. time to move on.
Yeah that's a great point. It can be the gen they "Botw" it. It'd be so amazing to see all the changes they do to the whole region.A modern sequel or complete reboot with a ton of innovations would be amazing. I could see it being phenomenal if they took risks with it like BoTW and Odyyssey did.
I think Black & White was probably the best gen in the series because it's the only one where they had the courage to go "Actually, you'll use this region's Pokemon and ONLY this region's Pokemon."
I swear to god if I have to go through another Zubat cave I am going to lose it
