Feels like these Pokemon presents are becoming more and more predictable these announcements could easily be announce on their YouTube/twitter accounts and like all of them consist of padding out time using their mobile games.
It would be nice if we get sequel or a remaster for Pokémon Stadium honestly. I really do enjoyed that game on N64 so much! But, this is a great Pokémon Presents by far honestly but its really weird that it has happen in August instead of being in a usual February.
Detective Pikachu returns was easily the most hype announcement throughout the whole presentation; I can easily see myself playing that day one
I agree with you on that Detective Pikachu Returns was the most amazing announcement ever, I’ll be playing it on day one as well, I’m so excited to play it 😁😁😁😁
It is weird that nowadays I am more hyped for pokémon spin-offs than main series games
Yeah they have kept quiet about the sequel for so long now and people are questioning about it.
Well everything I’ve seen so far gives me hope; granted, I never play to the original because of pokémon burnout
Alas, another one of these Presents goes by without mention of Mystery Dungeon.
Or a reveal of any kind of new game from what I can see. Wasn’t all of this stuff already announced?
The only thing that was really new was the animated show everything else was really just a reminder about what’s coming up
I may as well except that I’m never going to get a Pokken Tournament 2. PMD fans, may we join you in your sorrow?
Ptsh, at least PMD fans have gotten sequels after sequels after sequels. Joins us Pokemon Conquest fans in the single entry club.
I would have gotten PKMN Conquest but my last 3DS got rubbing alcohol all over it & I never bothered to get a new one. Shame, too, because I’m a HUGE Eevee fan.
It’s one of the game I hope they port or preferably make a new entry. One day though. I’m surprised they haven’t, what with all the Fire Emblem games they released.
Eh, Pokemon and Fire Emblem technically have nothing to do with each other aside from the fact Nintendo Publishes them.
It’s Intelligent Systems that handle Fire Emblem, not TPC.
Pokemon by itself no, but Pokemon Conquest is a cross over with Nobunagas Ambition. Which is a Tactical Role playing game, more akin to Fire Emblem. Conquest isn’t exactly a FE clone, since it carries the NA formula, but it’s the closest well ever get to a tactical Pokemon game.
