The official GameFreak website has posted a strange picture of a silhouette with a caption noting that "the well known game, played all around the world, is about to be reborn thanks to a surprising collaboration". Now, this is not known to be regarding Pokémon so don't take this as one at this time, but it's a bit mysterious wording for GameFreak

Well known game? Perhaps a franchise from Nintendo, or another company.

Thinking about the games developed by GameFreak, Pokemon and Pulseman are the two that seem to correspond with the message. However, that silhouette looks nothing like anything to come from Pulseman.

I can only believe that this is another franchise combining with Pokemon. I do not have high hopes for this, as what is pictured looks like a small horse. This can only mean bad things.

In all seriousness the people over at silicornera (the users not the staff) point out it looks like a gruntie? So maybe .hack pokemon cross over. >_> It is a well known game. Though reborn .hack is a very very scary idea with a series where everything matters.

This looks intriguing.
I can't think of anything that fits the silhouette. I have no clue about the trademark either. I think there is not much to be found from that yet.
It could be Pokémon, but then why would they put "well known game" instead of just Pokémon? Is that normal wording in Japanese?

The comment about collaboration makes it seem like the silhouette isn't from a GameFreak game.

Anyone good at art? You could take the silhouette, redraw it into something you think it would look like and do a reverse image search on Google to see if there are any hits.

LEAVE IT UP TO TIME I GUESS

EDIT: FYI

It has been found that the URL includes the term Soritiba ソリティ馬, which was a trademark registered last year by Gamefreak

taken from Serebii.net

I think I solved the riddle with this.

However, reverse image search turned very few results, and only of horses.

I doubt the chances of getting it right are appropriate, and the image the silhouette is from is likely not out in the internet yet. Nevertheless, seeing what people think it looks like could be entertaining. That horse's backside sure is. Here is my half-assed MS-Paint doodle.

Am I the only one thinking Viva Piñata? A Pokemon x Viva hybrid seems feasible.

More of a Megaman.EXE from Battle Network x Tepig, for me... O.o
While I would absolutely love anything Megaman-related (f**k you, Capcom, sell the Megaman franchise to people who will do something with it!), I doubt they would do a Megaman x Pokemon thing. .EXE/Battle Network would actually work; just change "cards" to "monz", I highly doubt it. I can dream, though...
