I am expecting a troll move from nintendo.

Maybe it could be another spin-off game--maybe something for the WiiU? :o

I'm kind of hoping it's a new gen, though xD

Yay, now I have an excuse to book that day off work so I can see what's going on :3

A new generation? I doubt it. I'm expecting a remake of generation three. They always remake the generation two less than the current one.

Wouldn't be surprised if it were 6th Gen. It would be out Internationally probably around April 2014. o:

It could be a new Pokemon. 6th Gen should be announced any time now.

I figure they're skipping RS remakes this time round and we got BW2 instead. It makes sense since all the regions can currently connect now that GSC were remade (transferring from 3rd gen to 4th gen to 5th gen is possible). Maybe they will remake it after the first 6th gen games, since we definitely don't need a 4th gen remake and remaking Kanto AGAIN would be a bit silly.

My guess?
- Generation six full reveal on the 3DS (I am 99% certain that we won't see another DS Pokemon game)

- The Console game for generation five on the Wii (WiiU is too new, not everyone has one yet, and I don't think they'd push the WiiU so soon. I'm personally hoping for a third Colosseum/XD game)

- Probably a sneak peak at some gen6 Pokemon, but not the entire gen6 lineup (I'm guessing a Pre-evo of something we already have if anything)

- Not going to be a Hoenn remake (We're at the end of gen5, they wouldn't do a gen3 remake just yet. They'd do it early in gen6 if anything. I really want one too, the gen4 physical/special move split made move setups perfect, Blaziken was a terribad fire type in gen3, his attack was higher than his special attack.)

- Not going to be a movie, UNLESS it's of a gen6 legendary OR the fusion of the full Tao Trio. (Every gen5 legendary had a movie except for Meloetta, but she's not going to get one because she has her own arc in the anime, so that counts as a movie or some garbage like that...

But yeah, that's just my take on this.

Update on this story--the English website will also be making an announcement on the 8th as well. Last time this happened, two new Pokemon were revealed...

What do you mean by "last time"? The last time nintendo made a big announcment they posted a twitter message saying: "on night og the final day, a familiar game will be announced" everyone was expecting a Majoras mask remake for the wii u, thats then nintendo pulled out their trollface and announced some old game nobody cares about for the E shop, nintendo is very obviously trolling.

She means that the last time, Zorua and Zoroark were revealed, along with Generation V.

Obviously this isn't trolling if it's exactly what happened last time. xD

Since Zorua and Zoroark were announced in early February, February 11th exactly, it would be chronological if Nintendo released 6th Gen (if this is 6th Gen) on February 4th 2014 in America. This isn't chronological though, but it can still be used to determine a possible release date.

If it's a 3rd Gen Remake, we could probably expect it in america by late 2013.
