oh well

hype is gone

Well according to this it is owned by someone else http://domains.whois.com so maybe it switched owners?

Actually, since this is the third game of the fifth generation, which was released on DS, you can bet they won't split the whole thing up. So they will obviously release it at least on DS. It will either get a DS release or a DS and a 3DS.

I agree I see this game as having either just a DS release or a DS and 3DS release.

Crystal had a GBC only release, why would grey be different?

If Pokemon Gray comes out and it was for the 3DS, then it would be most likely the best 3rd version for a pokemon game.
Cause It will most likely have things like models better than Pokedex 3D for battles and use a lot of the 3DS features.

because GBC wasn't much of a step up from a GB release, it used the same graphics with only some pokemon animations before the battle, and really only added the suicone side story to the entire thing. The 3ds however is a major step up from the ds, if it where a 3ds exclusive it would have greatly improved graphics [if not then improved sprites and models to fit the new screen size] and a 3d element [unless it is the first non-3d 3ds game], a new and improved story [like platinum, emerald, etc.]. I suspect that in the short time b/t release and launch of the 3ds that they haven't had the time to create a 3ds worthy pokemon game, and by linking the ds games to the 3ds they would lose the element of maybe rebooting the pokemon game series [which has been rumored and hinted at for a while].

The 3DS doesn't have a fanbase big enough yet. That's another reason to not put the 3rd game of the 5th generation exclusively on DS. It's either gonna be DS exclusive or DS and 3DS, with some minor enhancements.

The amount of money you can make by making it on DS it far bigger than on the smaller fanbase of the 3DS.

You might say people will buy a 3DS just for it, but no, you're wrong. A lot of people who play Pokemon are just kids who really can't afford a new system.

There is also the fact that it's already on DS. All they will do is just change the story a little, add some minor stuff from the other 2 and you get a third game. This is far less expensive to do than produce a game on a new system, therefore will get more money, especially if it sells better on DS due to the fanbase being way bigger.

I'm sorry,but I have to challenge that. Is there proof it just mostly kids?
Do you know that or you going off some people statements " Pokemon are for kids."? It maybe be spread out to all ages.

Even then it is $169 now and it approaching Christmas, I'm pretty sure parents are saving money for it for their child (kids,teens,young adults( ) )and maybe even for themselves.

People bought the 3DS just for Ocarina of Time. Why would this be any different?
And to all you people saying this won't be much different from BW..
It has to have major differences. Take the end-story town, for example. (I forget what it's called..)
It would seem strange just to have future or just to have past.. There has to be something different there.
I think this merger is going to be big.

It's different, but not enough to be called a new game. Which means it doesn't require the same development time as a new game.
