Lucasedit: Sticked. Now you guys can stop making a new Pokemon thread every week.

When I got on the IRC Amos told me to check out Serebii, and I found this.

The official site has just updated with some details stating that a brand new Pokémon game series, perhaps a fifth generation is scheduled for release on the Nintendo DS in 2010 in Japan. Further details on this game series have yet to be announced but the site has stated that it will be an RPG and the press release hinted that new Pokémon were in it. Will this series be a brand new series or the beginning of the fifth generation? We'll bring more as and when Nintendo releases information


Of course I have checked other sites all with the same news, so don't go on saying this is fake, and as the article says it could be Gen V or just an entirely new idea.

t2 edit: took out the ? since its obviously confirmed
Well now, that's pretty interesting. I'm certainly hoping it's a new generation, as opposed to a new spin off line, like the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series, which is more likely. Sounds cool either way, though.

Probably a spin off.
There was a huge gap between R/S/E and D/P. So there will be a big gap between 4th gen and 5th gen. Especially since it'll take tons of work to add another generation.

well, 1up.com says that it was made clear that it's not going to be a sort of spin off, but a main installment. I read a bit more into this, and it seems they've hired 3D artists for this, which could possibly mean 3D battling on the DS.
This kind of caught my attention, especially since I just got back into Pokemon in the summer. I'm just trying to find out what exactly they could add in Gen V (assuming that is what this is) which could be more powerful than Arceus. They'll really have to stretch their creative muscles for this one, it seems.

I'll be following this.

Arceus is not the most powerful pokemon though. He is the most powerful balanced pokemon.
Assuming that for a legendary they make a legendary intended for the ubers metagame, they should either create some new gimmick or use a type not yet occupied such as bug.

Personally, I want to see experimentation in gen 5 with hail since they've already done so with sandstorm (And it's a fucking beast!)

Maybe a supportive legendary that benefits from a hail? I want to see a medic legendary who can heal teammates.
In a metagame with attack deoxys sweeping an entire party, I don't think that is a far fetched idea either.

Maybe an ability where once it dies, it passes on stat boosts to another pokemon?

Well, one thing occurred to me regarding the "Arceus dilemma"...if Arceus is called the "Alpha Pokemon" by the Pokedex, and is the creator/god of that world, what about an "Omega" Pokemon that is destructive, or something? *shrugs*

I dunno, it's just a thought.
If that were the case, we'd get the fucking xenogears mecha pokemon instead of some antelope-thingy as a poke-god.

If this does turn out to be Gen 5 the only thing I ask for is MORE FIRE TYPES. D/P/Pt only introduced 3 new fire types, one of which is a starter, an evolution of an already existing Pokemon, and a legendary.

Pretty weak if you ask me.

Also I'll try to keep this thread updated as more new and info comes along.
I heard about this on irc last night. Anyways, if it is Gen 5, it'll definitely be interesting to see what new ideas the creators have come up with. If it's just another mystery dungeon game, I guess that'd be cool too, but to a lesser degree. My main concern, is cross gen trading if gen 5 happens. I HOPE that gamefreak has once again adapted the feature from GSC where you can trade from gen 1 to gen 2 as long as the moves were the same and such. I'm guessing if they were to take another pal park approach they'd have to make a completely new DS, which supported another slot, but then again they could do something wireless instead. Meh, oh well. Look at me speculating what I don't even know is true. :P
If this really is a fifth generation, all I want, like Tormentor2, is more fire types. Game Freak hasn't been too kind to us pyromaniacs recently.

Also, a Houndoom evolution based on Cerberus should already exist. God damn it Game Freak.
yes, more FIRE! actually, all I really want is a Fire/Ghost typing and I'll be happy forever.

My guess is Pokemon Quartz and Topaz. Are those of higher quality diamonds and pearls? I got no idea.

Anyway, I'm hoping it turns out to be Generation V. It makes sense seeing as they mentioned it'd have new Pokemon, it'd be an RPG, and the fact that each generation is usually 3-4 years apart.
I hope it isn't another Mystery Dungeon game. That would just suck without new Pokémon to add. I second the Omega Pokémon idea, (s)he would be awesome! Probably wouldn't have good defense, but thats why they made Pokésav.
I will become alive again sometime soon.
It would be cool if it was a fifth-gen Pokemon game, although my hopes aren't up yet.

Personally, instead of more fire types, I want more different types. I can think of a Light type, and there are certainly others... :D

You hear dice being thrown...
My SMW ROMhack: Super Market Roll Drums is active once again!
Second 2014 C3 Demo Here ([thread] [demo])
Lunatic Lolo, an Adventures of Lolo 2 hack: 20/54 Levels ([C3 thread] [demo])
POKEMON PYRITE AND POKEMON ALUMINUM

It's going to happen.

SIDE NOTE: I just noticed my pants were on backwards, and have been for five hours, since I went to the museum.

This is a thing that's happening, now. Achievements in old video games.
Thank you for the layout, Erik557.
Man, I wish this would've worked. Oh well.
If not for respect, but dramatic effect, take on the face of Guy Fawkes.

EPIC FAIL

To the topic, A fifth generation would be epic to have this year, i hope its a main installment!

Hello!
I just had an idea. What if it's like another Pokemon XD or Colosseum? I think that would be a nice idea. My guess is that you could see gen 5 Pokemon like in XD, or something like that. We've been overdue for one, afterall.
It says it's for the DS, though a hand-held version of Colosseum/XD would be pretty sweet.
