Namco Bandai has announced that it plans to release a medal based arcade game based on the Pokemon franchise throughout Japan. The game is titled Pokemon Medal World, according to the blurb the game comprises of simple and basic medal-based gameplay. Each of the arcade units feature large benches, allowing four people to sit together and play. Pokemon fans will also find original video footage playing on the machine’s monitors.
Only in Japan. :( Still pretty awesome, next summer I will go to Japan for 2 weeks.
that sucks, crazy imports
Yawn seriously.
FIRST!!!!!
Failure.
lol! XD
What is this the 3rd medal based pokèmon arcade game? Why did they change the name I wonder?
I just looked it up (briefly) its actually like the 6th or 7th.
Sigh.
Will they please just make another main series RPG on a home console already?
Pokémon on the Wii U could be really awesome, with menus, options and such being on the controller, the TV would display all the action.
Seems like an obvious step I’m hoping they take.
My ideals exactly!
They’ve stated, many many many times before that they will never make a main series game on a Home console. Taking away the portability of the main series games would take away the entire point (ie: meeting REAL people and battling/trading with them.) The closest thing you’ll find to what you want is Gale of Darkness and Colosseum.
Or Pokémon Indigo if you want to play a “main series” styled game online unofficially
Nintendo and Gamefreak have nothing to do with this, so if they are working on something this won’t affect it at all.

Damn it namco just give me Tales of Xilia :(
I wish we could have Pokemon stuff here in America. But obviously, the craze of Pokemon has died a lot here, even Pokemon Center NY closed down.
