Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 released in June 2012 in Japan. Pokemon Emerald through Black and White released in September in Japan.
That's before Poke started doing simultaneous global releases with 3DS though right?
Yeah I agree but then again the Pokemon Company doesn't seem to be the type of business to annouce a game (Feb 2024) still about two years out of release (Fall 2025). I was hoping we get a late March date because I believe they interpret that time period as Spring releases (Late March to Early June seems to be their definition of Spring releases). I admit I got alittle worried about ZA release timing after the Q1 results. They came in higher than I expected and if Q2 is higher then Q3 and Q4 need to be lower than my expectations. Q4 wouldn't be able to be lower if ZA releases in it. So admit I was already alittle worried and now I'm alittle more worried.
Yeah I don’t see Pokémon going its 30th anniversary without a Gen 10 announcement. Plus it would give the developers 4 years assuming work began following SV’s launch.
It is also interesting how Mystery Dungeon GBA was released a couple of weeks before Worlds when they could have withheld it for the Presents.
there's a number of odd stuff. Mystery Dungeon, Dynamax in Go, Arven in Masters. I don't know if there's anything in Unite or Cafe Remix
So there's a possibility of no August Presents this time ?
Nobody knows. Shits weird. They have to put out something for TCG Pocket as that will be playable in Honolulu in a little over a week. There seemingly isn't a game on switch this year, and signs point to Legends 2 being in the next FY. So there's nothing to advertise but new merchandise and maybe a new cartoon
Last year they announced the pokemon presents 4 days before (August 4 to August 8) so if there is one next week, by Friday we should know.
Yeah, quite disappointing. I've been hoping for a new entry for years now.
I'm hoping that Shiren 6's good sales numbers will be just the thing that convinces TPC to sign off on a new PMD.
There was a chance it was for PK MD Red rescue team. These nso games seems to have been ready for a while so it was probably a schedule thing.
The remake sold 2m units, which is pretty decent for the genre (especially as an exclusive), and a lot more than Shiren 6 so I don't think they'd look at that game to decide whether to greenlight a new game or not.
That'd be a pretty big delay if so.
little of column A, little of column B. I'm one who believes that they encountered problems with SS and SV, and between those they realized they needed to make some changes. of course, Nintendo is there to help give them some advice, which probably includes "be prepared to take longer".
they haven't even exhausted the spin-offs they can do. no party game, no platformer, no side-scrolling game (especially when you have three Megaman-ass characters to work with), nothing. I'm sure folks like Inti Creates and Wayforward would throw themselves onto the ground for a chance to make such games, so it's not like there aren't resources available
That shift happened during the transition years from the 3DS, with many spin-offs launching on mobile.

The next Presents will be in February, so Legends is guaranteed to be there. It does beg the question if they're waiting on Drake.
they can always do a youtube video. but we will get something for it in the next 7 days
They could always delay it to 2025 too
But nothing preventing that from being a Worlds announcement, I guess (other than window between release date announcement and actual release for mobage is extremely short for obvious reasons).

we're kinda at an unprecedented point since there's no new pokemon content beyond Legends and Pocket. so the usual competitive updates don't apply. first Worlds where we're in the dark about what they could showVarious Pokémon elements
