    Obviously this means we’ll finally be able to ride our bikes indoors

    This hype for the next gen reminds me a LOT of how Gold/Silver was hyped, and we had Yellow to keep ourselves occupied. I’m really hoping they go a really huge route with this, especially being able to visit multiple regions. If HG/SS was able to provide two fully functional regions, then they should be able to pull it off again.

    EDIT: When I said “fully functional”, the original Gold/Silver had a barebones Kanto, while HG/SS filled all the missing links.

    A Pokemon game that isn’t hand-holdy and pathetically easy?

  4. THEPHOENlX

    A generation as inventive and mesmerizing as Gen V?

    Turns out it’s not a new generation, but pokEMON SNAP 2!!!!!

  6. RedWarrior42

    something longtime fans have been waiting for?

    You mean a sequel to Pokemon XD right?!?

    (I know that’s not going to be the case, but let me dream here.)

  7. FullmentalFiction

    We can skip the 12 hour tutorial?

    I think an important part in the article is “It is not an entry game…”

    But I don’t know what entry game means in this context. It could be anything from being a game for veterans, to a Pokémon MMO unlike previous titles.

    All regions, all Pokemon, Online Play… I’m in.

    I just love the idea of coming home and sitting on the couch and playing an actual Pokemon game on a nice big TV as opposed to holding a small little gameboy. Pretty exciting.

  11. If anything this thread has proved every “long time fan” has a different idea of what they’re waiting for.

    As long as it doesn’t have the handholding of Alola and harkens back to the days of Platinum -> Black 2 & White 2 I’m good.

    Ok if this is what I’ve been wanting for a long time then it should:

    – use both analogue sticks for a real 3D environment

    – ALL legendaries available have their own unique areas and quests to figure out to reach, something on the lines of the regi trio in Hoenn not just a cave with a random legendary in. We need to find items and take them to places, have to figure out puzzles AND it has to be cryptic and has a lot of lore behind them.

    – with we’ve seen from BOTW, multiple regions is well within the switches limits and thus I would at least like one more region. Not as post game but as another story of continuing through a region defeating another team or something similar whilst trying to be the best of the best in that region too… we also can choose which region to start on and levels are adjusted accordingly.

    – a battle frontier must be present, no bs with the battle tree and battle maison. A fully fledged battle frontier like Emerald and Platinum.

    – personally I don’t care for this feature but online co op would be nice for others.

    All of these features have been wanted by me for years now, they have my hopes up for a few of these to be answered

    That it will take place in an alternate universe where the player is a pokemon that captures humans to battle against other pokemon who have captured humans?

    Pokemon CEO was also recently interviewed saying he’s worried the games have gotten too difficult and complex. Don’t expect much here guys.

    Realistically it’s Pokémon walking with you, the new Go games have them so I don’t see why they wouldn’t include it in the next games. Also they tried this is SuMo but we’re limited by the 3ds’ capabilities. Now they don’t have that problem, I’m 99% sure it’s walking Pokémon

    They like insert the Mew Glitch from blue, yellow, and red

    The return of the game corner, but with Pokemon pinball machines instead of slot machines!

  19. USATicTac

    2019 Nintendo will reveal they have Genetically engineered Pokémon for years and now they plan to release them on with Poké Balls so you can go out and capture them

  20. Oogbored

    The ability to fire rotodex into the sun(/moon)?

  21. [deleted]

    We can finally use Strength on the truck?!?

  22. newtsheadwound

    You mean a 140-hour, final fantasy-esque epic fantasy adventure with a great story and little to no tutorials? Because that’s what I’ve been waiting for.

  23. 📣 MAKE! ENTIRELY! CUSTOMIZABLE! CHARACTERS!
