Although we're on the heels of E3, it seems Nintendo has some announcements they'd like to make before their big upcoming press conference. It's time to get your pitchforks and hype trains ready, as anything could happen! And GBAtemp will be here to give you live coverage and a recap of the event after it airs, so stay tuned!

And so here we go:
They're talking about the Switch
"And now finally...we're excited to announce..."
Pokken Deluxe!

There's a trailer for the game, showing off gameplay in the different modes of the Switch. Huge focus on local multiplayer.
Launches Sept 22 2017

Onto Sun and Moon!
And then randomly....!

They just gloss over this announcement. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon for the 3DS announced. Oh and Pokken gets a new playable character. Pokken DX is also getting a playable E3 demo for Switch.

They bring out Masuda to talk about these games, stressed for the 3DS. It's an alternate story of the original game, with new Pokemon that didn't appear in the normal games. Global release Nov 17.

Last announcement! Pokemon Gold and Silver coming to 3DS virtual Console. Compatible with Pokemon Bank. Launch Sept 22.

Poken feels like to much of a port for me. And as for the new pokemon games. I WANTED A DIAMOND AND PEARL REMAKE. (tear) Oh well...

 

[Zense]

Pokemon gen 2 go! Been waiting for this!

Good luck getting your PS4 to work on the go

Glad i mostly play at home because here we cant use that stuff calmy outside due to thieves stealing everything the moment they spot you.

Your pessimism is unwarranted and kind of stupid.. Honestly. Why do you antagonize the system as much as you do? You and retro been hanging out or what?

... And yes, people are upset. I'm upset because they're getting away with a rather lazy sequel to a rather lazy gen.

The current cost of the console in certain countries is funny as hell. People pissing and moaning like they understand.

I can because i have played on it. It isn't anything espectacular and out of this world, it felt meh. Zelda is meh for me and so is the current games and upcoming ones... the only one i'm really interested on is super mario odyssey...

It's not like in Brazil it's much different, but that's not the point of the post.
Comparing Switch with Ps4 and X1 is nonsense, one is a handheld, the others are consoles.
Of course Switch will be underpowered compared to those,
but as a handheld it stands out, in fact it's the most powerful handheld released yet

In the history of the main Pokemon series, have you ever seen a single generation get released across two different consoles? It would just be a bad business decision, because people who played the original games, would not want to buy a new console just for that game, especially considering the originals were so lackluster and disappointing. X/Y were better, and deserved a Z version, but they decided to skip that, which was a crappy enough decision to leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Gold and Silver were released on both gameboy and gameboy color

Woa I love my Wii U DX, I dunno why everyone keeps calling it "the switch" or whatever.

Only good thing to come out of this direct is Gold/Silver VC so I can finally get legitimate shinies from gen 2. (is Crystal also coming? I want shiny celebi pleas)

Prepare for ULTRA BAN WAVES this november when the games leak 2 weeks early.

But fr these games look like the best 3rd versions we've had in a long time since the game will have a completely different story with new pokemon

 

[Thirty3Three]

Told ya it'd be Pokken

Fuck it seemed so obvious. Gen 4 had remakes, Gen 5 had sequels, Gen 6 had remakes, Gen 7 has sequels, it's a pattern. Gold/Silver if it follows RBY means HA Lugia and Ho-Oh, in hopefully an easier RNG scenario than Dream Radar. And thank goodness no Switch main series games. That can be next year.

Gen7 didn't have sequels. Y2, X2 aren't a thing

XY are gen 6

 

[Thirty3Three]

XY are gen 6

Oh shit I goof'd

I guess Nintendo loves competing with themselves.

And who is Zelda? Is that the guy with the sword?

Not the green Zelda?

Unlike sun and moon these games will share the same severs as sun and moon so i don't think they can catch people playing it early

Newbie question....

Why is it called Pokken Tournament ?

Why not call it Pokemon Tournament ?

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

Why is it called Pokken Tournament ?

It's a mix of Tekken and Pokémon even though the gameplay is nothing like Tekken, however, the engine is based on Tekken.

Not having the word Pokemon in the title is sure to reduce sales.
IMO.

Yeah, it was a silly thing they did but I guess they wanted to attract a "hardcore" audience with that.

Ultra SuMo? Nice!~

Old banked gen get 3 31IVs end nature based on EXP. Since bottle caps the IVs are irrelevant outside Poder Oculto
