I think it has something to do with that "Pokken Fighters" game that was teased last year.

Being in the realm of realism, it's either Pokken Fighters, more info on the Pikachu game, a potential Pokemon Stadium U, a Pokemon Colosseum/Anime hyper type game or...I don't know, a potential Pokemon Snap U?

Let's be honest, if they did this, they could console themselves about the poor Wii U sales and just curl up to their piles of money at night.

I'm at least 95% positive it's this. Whether it'll meet expectations is something else entirely though Laughing

Turn down the notch for your expectations and hopes, guys. They're using the same language they always use for new project announcements. We already got the most likely expected "shock" (ORAS), so from here, it's likely all spin-off stuff that won't overshadow ORAS' release.

It might be that Pokken Fighters game that had screens leaked a while back.

It's probably that Pikachu Detective game, if it's Pokkan Fighters, it may not leave the arcade and thus never leave Japan or be avaliable for import.

A new pokemon generation. Pokemon Alpha, Beta and Omega. I doubt it though, haha.

Is Skylanders even popular in Japan?

It's probably just Pokkan Fighters or Meitantei Pikachu

I think it'll be either that Pokken fighters project, or another console rpg like Colosseum. If not them, then maybe they are announcing the next game(s) in the 6th gen line, although I doubt they would announce that before ORAS have been released.

Exactly, they were too stupid to not create their own servers to support their last gen consoles.

If it's a complete anime reboot, make the new characters teens instead of little kids and make them look like this

Maybe it will be the MMORPG we've been craving for years and years. I'd so by a Wii U just for that.


lol it never happens.. Laughing Laughing

It's a PKMN Snap remake/sequel announcement.

What, it could be. Crying or Very sad
