I realise it would probably look better than this but if that's the type of game announced next week my hype will deflate to dangerous levels.
but think of how much money they'll make!
also, nintendo should totally allow a PC version. mobas do best when playable on potatoes
Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee Johto DLC for early 2021, Pokemon Sleep, Detective Pikachu 1+2 for Switch and Pokemon Ranger remake
I understand that people want D/P Remakes, but I'd rather they have an extra year and then announce it early next year instead of announcing it next week.
After what sword and shield took gamefreak to there current limits and including dlc I have doubts they even have the manpower required to have been working on another main series game at least not to the point when I would expect one before 2022.
With let's go the assets could be reused fairly easy though if they don't improve on the first one it's probably not going to be worth it.
Please no mainline Pokemon game for 2020. That would mean a short development time, and no one wants that.
The dlc wouldn't sell well this winter if they also released another main series game, if one is announced it won't be released earlier than 2021 unless they've been working on it for a while (doubtful).
What the series needs is a break and at least three years + development time but I doubt that's going to happen.
If it's just the tencent game I feel like either this game is going to be insane and probably have some really interesting functionality with other Pokémon products, or there will be more than just the mobile game. I get it that the day after Tencent will be showing off some new stuff but to dedicate a whole other presentation by TPCi for just one mobile project seems excessive imo. They might go into Pokémon Sleep or Detective Pikachu as well; or, and yes this is me being hopeful, they'll do a verbal confirmation of their next mainline game for next year like they did at E3 2017. A nice "we are preparing remakes for Diamond and Pearl for 2021, stay tuned for more news next year."
I wasn't familiarized with this MOBA term, but that's close to what I've always wanted.
Pokémon Rumble would've been so much fun to me if the Pokémon didn't look so bad in that toy version, but something like this, with the Pokémon looking how they really are, would be awesome.
I wouldn't mind going back to Orre...and seeing how the environment has begun improving since XD.
I still dream of the day we get some kind of platform, adventure game à la Super Mario Bros, but with Pokémon. Even if we could only play as Pikachu (but of course it would be better if we could play as other Pokémon too).
And the ultimate dream would be a Super Smash Bros. kind of game, but only with Pokémon fighters. I was never able to fully understand Pokken lol though I like how it looks like.

Yep, a 3D platformer or open world would be cool.
I have the same Smash Bros dream and hated Pokken but luckily there's a pretty good amount of Pokémon available in Smash.
Post writing note: welcome to my thesis on next weeks event, the last paragraph is a somewhat tldr I don't blame you if you skip to that.
I don't want to post here too often and also don't want to hype myself up for a game that may not get announced next week however, i did recall something back when let's go was just a rumour with a dodgy April fool's screenshot and rumoured title.
It wasn't the press conference that sold me on its likelihood but the gamefreak YouTube videos where they mentioned the saying let's go which maybe wasn't intentional but at the time made me believe the rumour.
As of now we don't have any of that, I do believe gamefreak could of set the background deliberately to subconsciously think about gen 2 and let's go what with not only the gen two Pokemon but a gold and silver sandshrew and lapras and slowpoke as well as the espeon and umbreonin front of the let's go eevee. While it's possible this was done only for the sake of a nice looking layout I do think it suggests they are at least considering it.
That's not to say they are necessarily ready to announce it however. I expect to hear about more than one project next week I simply can't Imagine them separating the news into two just because of the mobile game developer having there own conference a few days later if they wanted to do that why not just delay the one we just had?
I suspect the mobile game will be there and might even be the focus but on top of that I could see a gamefreak developed Pokemon game fitting quite easily.
This ended up being longer than I originally planed as a tldr summary I will say this I do believe gamefreak would their background as a hint towards a project in the same way I believe they hinted to let's go with their slogan, and I think it's worth considering why they wouldn't just delay the first Pokemon presents until next week if it's for the mobile game alone and whether this mobile game has to be the only project.

The idea is interesting, and they're already known for having a 4 move set. This video on the other hand did not do the idea much justice.
when you mean the background, do you mean the background to the video of the Pokemon Presents? if so, that's not game freak, that's TPC (a minor thing)
also, I swear we did this exact thing before, where Ishihara was in front of shelving full of Gen 4 pokemon but nothing game of it
indeed I do, as I say it may not actually have any meaning but at the very least it was consciously done.
Ive been more and more bitter about the insane Pokemon release pressure and how it's been making the games worse-made AND blander and how nasty I find the TPC marketing machine etc etc etc
I was happy they did DLC instead of another rpg this year
If that's actually not true and they have both the DLC AND another RPG *during fucking covid* I'm gonna have a fucking fit
Game Freak deserves the time and budget to actually make something without a goddamn yearly cycle

Has it been proven that there's pressure to release yearly? I too believed that but earlier today I tried to make this argument but couldn't prove that tpc was responsible.
TPC doesn't hold that kind of control. if GF wants to delay the games, they will and TPC will work around that
There were some structurally sound evidence of pressure to release an annual or bi-annual Pokemon products in the past, timing them to match up to the seasonal holidays. Anecdotal or coincidental, who knows...
I mean, it's not like Japanese companies are known for their tramsparency, but I think it's hard to argue against that Game Freak moves at the speed that TPC dictates for the overall franchise. there's literally no other way it can work when your revenue stream revolves around a whole multimedia juggernaut and a metric fuckton of merchandise that all happens in synchronized waves. Every piece has to be coordinated. There's no way in hell it's possible for Game Freak to delay a game less than one year out from release, and when there is a game almost every year...
I think many here almost ate me for saying that before and they said otherwise.
I feel like it wouldn't be that easy as if gamefreak pushed back they wouldn't be able to do a thing about it.
When its less than a year out then yea, theyre kinda stuck with the date they chose since every other part was moving around that date. That being said if GF said "hey we're gonna need 5 years till we get gen 9 out" then TPC will work around that.
Oh boy, if that happens, 5 years of SPINOFF Pokemon would be awesome!
That gives me a HIGH LIKELIHOOD of console Pokemon spinoffs that would make me enjoy them more.
honestly a pokken 2 would be a match made in heaven for me but I'm kinda bummed Namco is working on Snap 2 instead. I don't think they'd work on two pokemon games at once and I think Harada is busy with Tekken 7 still. I'd honestly take Pokken 2 over a Snap 2 any day of the week, since Snap barely had any content or replay value outside of the funny ha-has of seeing pokemon act goofy.
I'm still on the fence on the new Snap, as I think now we should hope for a game with 200+ mons rather than the puny 70 something from the first game. Nothing less. Meanwhile a Pokken 2 would just be like the last game, slightly expanded and rebalanced to continue the competitive circuit the first game is still running on... Sooner or later, they'll have to do something new with Pokken after all if they wanna keep that up.

I'll just say that I'm highly unconvinced that GF holds more power in the relationship than TPC. TPC is the rich company with all the money, comparatively
(and while this is personal and subjective I feel like nearly all the games in the past while have been showcasing all the hallmark signs of a developer being rushed by the people bankrolling it)
To be clear I'm also coming at this from a biased viewpoint where I view yearly releases as a cancer that kills video game series as a rule, so, by all means, take my takes with a grain of salt
If it was empirically provable I would put money down on TPC having GF beholding far more to their will than the other way around though
Hmmm, TPCi contracting out Game Freak, a contract-based game developer, to make mainline Pokemon games, sounds reasonable.
The New Pokemon Snap is a bit closer to the left field, considering how long it took to get a sequel. But this also tells me, dormant IPs may get a chance 20 years later for a sequel or next iteration.
If they want to make more GOOD mystery dungeons, conquest sequels, colosseum and xd successors, rerelease at least the first 3 generations on the switch and what ever else they can think of I'll be happy to wait 4-5 years for the game that puts Pokemon on the map as a game not just a series.
I want it to be Gen 4 remakes just so that it isn't Let's Go Johto.
Really, though, I just want Gen 4 remakes. I want them to be based on Let's Go's style and world design (but with actual wild battles). I don't need Sw/Sh's world design methodology applied to remakes of Gen 4 games. Just straight up Gen 4 remakes. I could see that being well within Game Freak's ability to create. Maybe throw OR/AS flight mechanics in there or whatever, but don't try to Sw/Sh-ify Gen 4 when those games don't really need it.

What I want is more choices for difficulty, let us decide if we want the xp share or what method or wild battling we want.
Believe me I'm not a fan of the recent games myself though I am giving them another chance as I didn't end up finishing the last three and do think more development time would help but I don't think it's all that simple a matter for tpc to effect.
I doubt they've ever had major issues with gamefreak if they do have any sway or cracks would of shown from the development team.
GF literally owns 1/3rd of TPC. TPC does nothing other than manage the IP in regards to anything but the games since thats what that 1/3 gives GF.
In this case its entirely self inflicted since GF refuses to staff up properly for HD development.
