A new Pokemon project will be announced live on a NicoNico stream next Tuesday, August 26. According to translations from Serebii, the stream will provide a “shocking announcement”, but unfortunately there are no real clues as to whether eager Pokemon fans are looking at a game, manga, or new film.
The NicoNico stream – which is running in co-ordination with Famitsu magazine – will feature CEO and president of the Pokemon Company Tsunekazu Ishihara, along with two special guests and Pokemon voice actors Nobuhiko Okamoto and Aoi Yuuki. The announcement stream will be hosted by fashion model Ayana Tsubaki and Famitsu’s Bunbun Maru.
Though the announcement is unlikely to be a main series game, speculation among fans have pointed towards the rumoured Wii U title, Pokken Fighters. Trademarks were filed in Europe for both Pokken Fighters and Pokken Tournament back in May, so there’s certainly prior evidence pointing in its direction.
For those interested, you can take a peek at the teaser site revealing the announcement, here. And on August 26, 10PM JST / 2PM BST / 9AM EDT and 6AM PDT in US, you can catch the NicoNico stream, here. What do you think this exciting or “shocking” new announcement could be? Let us know in the comment section below.

Just googled one of the voice actors. She worked on a lot of movies and episodes. Movie?
not really excited it is only a fucking game
if it aint a pokemon xd sequel i couldnt care less there was a petition made and no reposnse or anythiny. hopefully not another pokemon rumble. poken fighters i will keep an open mind but i cant really see this being appealing when smash is around the corner.
XD would be cool (coliseum), but honestly a Pokemon snap 2 is the game they need for Wii U
pokemon fighters confirmed
Aslong as it’s not another boring Dungeon game…
I would love a new dungeon game as long as its not as horrible as the 3DS one. Why do you dislike the dungeon series commander?
Because its boring.
pokemon plus and minus confirmed by gamefreak
7th gen..this soon? I think not.
lol it’s shocking so its probably special
not excited its only a fucking pokemon game like normal like there was not going to be another pokemon game? damage contol much?
just another shitty pokemon x and y
As if the last one sucked? You’re just hating. XP And besides, its not gonna be another portable PKMN game.
The story mode and map were ofensively bad. Easily the worst of any main titles. Not saying it’s a bad game, just that this aspects SEVERELY lacked the appeal of previous gens.
just another pokemon pinball nothing to see guys and girls
just another pokemon dash people
no pokemon news in august it is delayed till september allready
I will be excited if it is a Pokemon Snap 2 for Wii U, a Pokemon Colusseum/Battle Revolution/ Pokemon XD sequel, or that Pokken Fighters game and also if it is a Pokemon Conquest sequel, because Conquest was one of my favorite DS games.
If it is another movie or TCG announcement or Mystery Dungeon #25 or another Pokemon Park or something along those lines, then I will be disappointed…. again.
The Pokemon Company doesn’t excite anymore. Only the mainline Pokemon games are anything to look forward to. It’s like pulling teeth with them. They won’t do what the fans ACTUALLY want them to do.
So annoying -_-
I’m personally hoping for Pokemon Snap 2, so we can use the Gamepad as a freaking camera. But it will most likely be that Pokken Fighters we’ve been hearing about.
I would LOVE Pokemon Snap 2, but if you are right and it is Pokken Fighters, then I will be excited as well, because at least that game looks a little more fleshed out than most Pokemon spin offs.
The Rumble Arenas, Mystery Dungeons and Poke Park games are killing me with how awful they are.
boring fucking film and have a good day
i am doing drugs at the moment.
on drugs?
You’re so annoying
I just want something for Wii U
Gamefreak this the final chance I am giving you. I don’t want that Pokken Fighters crap. Give me Pokémon XD or Collesium sequel. Or at least an HD remake. US Wii U owner’s have been patient and waited long enough for this.
A actual rpg pokemon game for the Wii U and no stupid spin-off? Make it happen Gamefreak/Nintendo
I want it to be Pokemon Snap 2 so bad but as I said above, it will most likely be that Pokken Fighters crap. If Pokken Fighters is just going to be like Pokemon Rumble, I’ll pass!
Hmmm doubt it will be a new Pokemon series, not this early, maybe Pokemon Colosseum…
I’m guessing that Detective Pikachu game that was mentioned forever ago and never came to fruition.
or the hd pokemon fighting game footage shown at the same event XD
Last time we said “It’s probably not going to be a main series game, but rumors point to a Wii U game” it was Pokemon X and Y. Just saying.
Not sure if its that Pokemon fighter game that was leaked last year but PLEEEEEASE let it be Stadium 3. :,) I beg of you Gamefreak.
what’s with the voice actors? doesn’t that mean this is anime or movie related?
Well not be coming to Wii U
God I want a fucking xd sequel
That new Pokémon Movie is what it will be, with the Primal G
Gyroden and Kyogre. (Spelling?)
It’s going to be another spin-off title for the 3DS, at most. Don’t get your hopes up.
Johto remake confirmed!
