EH_STEVE Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 On February 20th, Pokemon's official Twitter account released this tweet: ...and every day since, they've done a similar one for each region. Keeping this pace up, Alola will be showcased tomorrow, Feb 26th, the day BEFORE Pokemon Day. And with the next gen already confirmed for a 2019 release, it definitely seems like they're gearing up for the announcement of the next region on Wednesday. Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment
alienboyva Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Did someone say JELLY-FILLED DONUTS?!!! 🍙🍙🍙 Yeah, it does look like they're gearing up for something big. I think it's very likely that they would announce gen VIII on PKMN Day, especially with all the rumors of PKMN news coming soon. Edited February 25, 2019 by alienboyva Kezay 1 Quote Link to comment
Stephen 776 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Wasn't SM announced around this time two years ago? But, I can see them announcing gen 8 soon, but will be light in details. And then will probably do a blowout a week before E3 because TPC is predictable like that. Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I'm not top of making threads like this. I actually saw yesterday this was gaining traction about these tweets and of course anyone would call this very suspicious but let's not get ahead of ourselves Pokemon Day could be just be about Pokemon Day. Of course this time around I'm hoping for a Pokemon Direct on the upcoming Gen 8 game, please? If we don't it will be weird and sad because when else could we get new gen news? History has shown that new gen news is usually at the start of the year between end of Jan or end of Feb. Quote Link to comment
Surge135 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Maybe i was just imagining it, but I thought I had seen a tweet (I have been unable to locate said tweet which makes me think I was imagining it) that a Pokemon Direct was coming sometime this week. Either way, I would not be surprised if Gen 8 is revealed this week. Quote Link to comment

If it is, then it'll be the first set of titles... that I won't be a fan of. That said, if it is those titles... it's not a big deal. Content means more to me. Given that it is only 7 minutes of new info, we'll probably get the titles. Edited February 26, 2019 by Doc Brown Quote Link to comment
EH_STEVE Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 I've seen mock-ups/rumoured logos with those names and with PoGo getting flower crowns for Pikachu and Eevees.... Quote Link to comment

Doc Brown Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Just now, EH_STEVE said: Black and White. Fair enough. Along with Black and White 2. So it's not the first time. Just hoping the story, etc., make it worth it like with Black and White did. Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 26 minutes ago, EH_STEVE said: Black and White. See I would be on the same page as this but that is until I started to play this game that name couldn't less inspired. I really don't get this for those who actually played this gen. If anything reason for X and Y makes less sense, even if adding x something makes it cooler it does when naming them has nothing to do with the letter itself. Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment
DranSeasona Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 It’s true. X and Y meant literally nothing but the legendaries shape. Life and Death would have been a more directly relevant title. But that probably conjures up images of Doom or something, which I’m sure was not the kind of comparison they wanted to draw.

DLurkster Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 51 minutes ago, purple_beard said: 3rd game Ace or Joker? Funny you bring this up. So you know the Mega Man Battle Network games that came out for the GBA, there was spiritual successor to that like Mega Man to Mega Man X. The name of the spiritual successor of MMBN was Mega Man Starforce for the DS. There were 6 of the GBA and only 3 for the DS. Now for what I was getting at with Joker and Ace with this specific series. The name of the last of these titles for the DS was: Mega Man Starforce 3: Red Joker and Black Ace. Here the boxarts for the games: Spoiler The thing to make note just like Pokemon, around the 3 entry of the battle network series, is actually when the series were doing versions like Pokemon. So if Capcom did this and Joker and Ace were thing. I almost wouldn't be surprised if there was 3rd version name either Joker or Ace. Quote Link to comment

And before y'all jump on the speculation train, it might be good to remember that Let's Go was designed to be a console experience in contrast with the handheld experiences of gen 8 (I can't find the url, atm, but it was the interview on the Pokémon website around the same time let's go dropped). So if you're hoping for open world with fully 3d environments and camera control, or even something that looks like Town or Yokai Watch 4, whelp Edit: found link https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/pokemon-creators-share-more-details-on-upcoming-games/ Quote Mr. Ishihara: I can't really say much more than what we've already talked about today. But what I can say is that Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! focus on the home console gameplay experience, but the games next year will focus more on handheld features and gameplay experience Edited February 27, 2019 by Ares Quote Link to comment
Doc Brown Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Yep, just hoping that they keep the nice graphics. Heck I use it as a handheld game and not a home console gaming experience (given that the system can warp). I'd be disappointed if the graphics were down graded.
