The Pokemon Company has revealed to MCV that the next twelve months will be among the biggest in Pokemon history. The Pokemon Company is planning to launch a number of new Pokemon related titles, a new TV series, events, a film and new toys throughout 2013. the Pokemon Company will then release the long-awaited Pokemon X and Pokemon Y for the Nintendo 3DS, which is the first ever worldwide release of a major Pokemon game.
“Undoubtedly 2013 is a key year for us to grow and usher in a new era for Pokémon with Pokémon X and Pokémon Y and the introduction of new characters as the launch platform.”
“We believe these games will appeal to all generations both veterans and newcomers to Pokémon.”
– The Pokémon Company International’s marketing director Anthony Cornish
I hope they don’t make another fricken ice cream cone as a pokemon
Can everyone just shut up about the ice cream cone family? Its not like they’ve done it before, and besides, if you can turn an ice cream cone into a living thing, then that’s creativity. That’s using your imagination.
They had the egg-plant family, the zombie-fungus-crab and a BIRD with a STICK (WTF?)
Bird with a stick? Farfetch’d? That’s a leek stalk genius… A ration in an emergency, jeeez =P
It is as stupid a a round Pokémon colored like a Pokéball.
I mean Voltorb.
But I agree. It looks stupid. So does Voltorb.
Anyway… CANNOT WAIT FOR X AND Y!!!
And how about Mr. Mime? ITS A FRIGGING MIME!!!! Alot of people complaints about the ice cream and trash pokémon, but Mr. Mime and Jinx get a free pass? WTF
My point.
They would never consider them to be bad because they belong to the wonderful 151.
Excuse me!!! What’s wrong with Jynx!?!?! 💋
jynx is nicki minaj!!! lol
Dude….
Who the fuck wouldnt want an ice cream in their team?
people with sensitive teeth?
I do it is a bad ass pokemon
I always find it funny on Black 2 to have a Haunter for every battle with one and use Lick repeatedly.
So? They recycled a purple blob design 3 TIMES for 1st Gen!
how about a pokemon that is nothing but slime? ._. there are always original and unoriginal pokemon and there always will be
Shut the fuck up
Right, cuz grimer and muk were creative as fuck.
Cool
Are they finally going to get rid of Ash and Pikachu as the mascot?
Hope not..
I’m fine with Pikachu, but I think either Ash needs to grow up or leave.
No matter how you look at it, Ash is the perfect main character for Pokemon. He’s still learning. He loses, but still continues, which is supposed to teach kids that even when you fall down, keep on going, and don’t give up.
^ Well said.
I’m going to love the Pokémon franchise a lot this year with all this new stuff (new generation, TV series, etc.)
Pokémon oh you’re my best friend!
In a world we must defend!
Good you knew what I meant.
I am the real Pokémon champion.
Scolipede FTW!
He’s a powerhouse on my team along with Scrafty and Vanilluxe.
I LOVE SCOLIPEDE!!!
It fast strong and looks awesome.
My best team Pokémon.
It has Sword dance, Iron defense, Baton pass and Megahorn.
Huh no. Red lost some of his battles, same with all the other Pokédex holders. They lost, learned and came back winning.
I liked Ash in the beginning, but after 13 or 14 years, enough is enough. Just make him win something and then we can move on to a reboot.
In one episode he wil INDEED Get shot by something but he will live some generations longer i at least hope
Whoah whoah whoah! WTF is wrong with Ash and Pikachu, if you want them gone, don’t bother watching the anime.. I agree he needs to age a little, or something. Seeing that someone thinks this, makes me sad.
”All generations”… Is that a hint..? You can’t be..
na, thats probably just the usual marketing talk. “its for everyone! it’ll be big! everyone will enjoy it! preorder now to make sure that you’re not the only one to miss out…”, coupled with “no, 30y-old guy, you don’t need to feel ashamed for buying pokemon. its not just for kids, its for everyone! buy now!” :>
“long-awaited” seems to be not true. the games weren’t announced that long ago. if anything, the ruby and sapphire remakes are long-awaited.
Most likely a PMD cartoon/anime (which ever)
Also, I’d just like to take a sec to point out his name looks/sounds like Corfish. :D
Wait they’re the American branch and they said new TV series & film… we’re getting that stuff this year!?
We always get a new series to tie in with the new games.
Yeah but the American version is always months behind, which would push the new series and film into the start of 2014. Here they say 2013?
Have they released how many new Pokemon will be in the game? Also, can’t wait! :)
Someone told me there is only going to be 100 new Pokemon, but I think there will probably be like 150 new Pokemon.
2013, the year the PS Vita falls into oblivion in Japan as our most powerful weapon (Pokemon) will invade every corner!
Hope not. I love my vita D:
I loled way harder that I should have XD. Pokemon will the ps vitas executioner, coffin AND grave.
Is this why Nintendo’s stock went up 11% today?
“and the introduction of new characters as the launch platform.”
De-marketise this statement for me please, i don’t understand what he is talking about, please explain.
Does anyone else agree that Eevee should have a legendary evolution?
No.
I don’t think Ash is going anywhere for a while. When they use the phrase, “new TV series”,
they’re most likely reffering to when the anime goes to the XY region saga. The “new TV series” phrase was used when TPCi had a press release about Black & White. They said it because at that time, the english dub was about to begin the Best Wishes Series.
Ahhhh… No???
Yeah it should be DNA Spliced with Mewtwo
awesome idea :D
Is it possible Nintendo asked them to do a Wii U game to boost console sales? It’d be a smart move I think…
I hope when they finally lift the lid on this game thats its something we dont expect.
It’s easy for us to say, “what about customisation?”, “multiple regions?”, “MMO type features?”, but i want to be surprised.
What if, much like a Mega Man game, you could tackle the gyms in which ever order you wanted, and HM were aquired in a non linear way, so one direction would get you cut, the other would get you surf, and different pokemon live on different routes.
I know its ambitious, and would require a much smarter and reworked design, in terms of balancing the trainers pokemon and the opponants, but its the sort of thing that would challenge everyone, and give them something new.
I’m pretty excited the game is getting a worldwide release, everyone is getting the same toys as japan,and here is to hoping the anime and movies are much closer ! they may have been keeping all this a huge secret as well as x and y. maybe we get the movies and series only a couple months after ? i mean technically that new mewtwo form or lookalike is from the movie so who knows ? i don’t know what they have up their sleeves but whatever it is if they deliver this right.Pokemon is gonna be HUGE this year!and I’ve been looking forward to a big year for a number of years now!
NO LONGER WAITING AGES FOR GETTING IT TO AMERICA=AWESOME
only thing I give a damn about is pkm x and y.
I hope they also make some games for Wii U. It may be interesting trying it from the gamepad.
i cant wait for movie 16 (genesect vs mewtwo)
I only care about X/Y.
Also, I’m sick of Pikachu… they need to stop shoving him wherever they can because it’s annoying and not necessary.
Yes people, I can actually play a PKMN game without wanting Pikachu.
as a pokemon fanatic i find your statement a littleeee BULL SHIT. your not a TRUE pokemon fan like me. i uberly think that your trying to make a joke of yourself aaayyyyeeee. now think of what you have done because some people here are just no happy with that
Btw he IS the mascot of pokemon
I hope that by ‘New Series’ they mean a TV Series based in the Mystery Dungeon universe because if the Mystery Dungeon Anime shorts are anything to go by. It has a ton of potential.
Hopefully “New Series” means something like the black and white 2 trailer
cant wait for x and y but theres way to seasons of the show
hopefully, the new pokemon related titles include a game that features Shadow Pokémon, or a 3rd installment to the Shadow Pokémon games
Can we get a real pokemon game for wii u?
Hoenn remakes….all i will say
Does that mean we get Pokemon Snap U and Pokemon Stadium 3 / U?
Here are the amounted possiblilties for that they have conveyed.
1. New games coming out. x and y, but also maybe we might get a secret release like a remake of ruby and saphire….
2. New tv series, yes it has the potential to be the next season where ash goes to X and Y region… OR
They could go with the original idea of pokemon in the first place and create a complete new series called pokemon adventures. Which was going to kind of follow in the footsteps of red.
But yea…
