I was dissapointed in everyhting I've heard before about these games and now they're telling me to lower my expectations. Inb4 it's actually a spin-off made by NDCube or something.

Here are some time frames of when the event begins. It'll last an hour and a half, so add that to the time shown. Good night, fellas.

God bless Brazilian and Japanese timezones being 12 hours apart. It's always easy to know event times and whatnot.

The bad part is that it's a 12 hour difference, so it's usually unwatchable if it's after 12am there.

I like how people try to insult "genwunners". Like it or not, Pokemon's most successful, and well known pokemon is from gen 1. This goes well outside the games. During the 90s pokemon was everywhere. Anime, movie, cards, etc

The only time ive seen it get as much attention was with pokemon Go, and again it was using gen 1 pokemon during its peak as well.

You can argue its not the best game generation, but its definitely the most marketable.

Why is Zell saying that this year's Pokemon is not that exciting :( maybe because it's a Kanto game. Maybe next year's is a whole new region.

I believe because he's implying next year is when we'll get a new gen. This year it's a remake which many seem to not want. Leakers seem to be subtly trying to temper expectations because of this.

Also holy crap this thread is moving fast.

Guys, i lurked the entire thread, since his first incarnation to the edges of his fourth, where we all are now, at the extreme borders of the waiting.

I'm clearly excited: something is finally going to happen, and soon. Matter of hours.

BUT.

BUT.

OR.

IF.

DEFINETLY BUT:

The fact that NOW the insiders here on resetera, Emily and the other guy whose nick I can't remember while writing this post, are suggesting something more spin-offish, and that the real thing is coming in 2019...well it hurts. Plain and simple. Isn't it.

I'd like to ask a few question to Emily & The aformentioned trustworthy guy, and I think the whole HYPE COMMUNITY here should join mine interrogation, in order to prepare ourselves for the worst, and also to kill the time:

- Emily said she's expecting the reaveal to be "divisive" alongside the community. This, summed with the sort-of-spin-off wave that's going on in these last hours, is suggesting to me that we're gonna see something between a classic rpg pokémon game, and specifically a Yellow remake, and a GO! expansion. More focused on connecting the two worlds than introducing a new chapter on the mainline. So no vgc-aware, for example. Except for this hypotesis: should we lower our expectations down frome the S rank to the Spin-off rank?
- We're gonna see or hear something about these new, more ambitious 2019 titles this night?
Calm down buddy

I agree with this. I also think it's the type of game to bring in people who haven't played a Pokemon game in a while...like myself. I played Blue, Gold and a little bit of Y and would not at all mind a revamped Gen. 1 type of experience.

Stop with the gen wars. Not when we're this close to the announcement.

No one dislikes the original 151 Pokémon themselves, just the elitist attitudes that people have about them being supposedly better than the others.

As for their marketability, Gen 1's massive success is due to a huge number of factors, so you can't really single out the Pokémon specifically. Pokémon Go on the other hand, had very clear reasons for being successful, mainly that it was free, and you could catch Pokémon in real life places. I've said this a little earlier, and I'll say it again: they could have launched Go with literally any generation of Pokémon and it would have been a success no matter what.
