POKEMON GEN 6 ANNOUNCED

I can say, though, that this might hint at them using motion blurs for battle scenes where possible (think Quick Attack and ExtremeSpeed). Blurriness fits perfectly in that regard, since you literally can't focus on things that are moving too fast.

That would look really great. Let's hope!

Official Rival music. Yes, it's leaked already. It sounds good IMO...fits the "childhood friend, friendly battle scene" nicely. Beginning sounds like intro to the Gen II rival battle theme, the rest of the intro continues to sound like the B/W1 rival theme, then it sounds fresh.

[Garamonde]

Woah, I listened to that, the Wild Pokémon and Trainer Battle themes too, and this game's music is sounding great. The Trainer Battle specifically is the most actiony so far imo.

The Pokemon Company filed a new trademark called Pokken Fighters and Pokken Tournament, I'm crossing my fingers and hoping this is a fighting game! I just hope it's not limited to fighting type Pokemon haha.

[Koh]

Sounds like the bastard child of Tekken and Pokemon...I don't even know what to think about it, other than that'd be a crazy crossover. I guess anything's to be expected after Pokemon Conquest.

Here's to hoping for a Pokemon Stadium 3!
Or something along those lines!

Pokemon Colosseum Wii U/3ds remake please

[Chaoxys]

Maybe I'm missing something, but why do people want a new Stadium/Colosseum styled game? For me, the main charm from those games was seeing pokemon battles in 3D, which isn't an issue since X & Y is all 3D battles. I'm not saying making a new Stadium would be bad, I'm just curious what it is that would make others want them. I played those games when I was younger and I don't remember much from them, but what do they offer that one could find in the main games at this point (again, not knocking the stadium games in general).

^two posts above you

Of course I've never played a Pokemon game outside of the main series and there could be some other reason people want it but yeah that partly answers your question I think

For me, it's simply that Pokemon Colosseum is my favorite Pokemon game.

Not to mention that a 3DS still doesn't have the same draw as THE BIG SCREEN. There's no denying that a console built game is going to have prettier models and environments than the 3DS game. Also, X/Y still has the weird circle thing going on with their battles, whereas the Stadium games always put an emphasis on putting a wide shot on the entire battlefield (heck, even PBR had moves that damaged the environment, though it wasn't quite as cool as it was hyped up to be, haha). There's a lot in the presentation. And I know personally, because I participate in a local tournament, that we'd love a new Stadium-like game just to be able to more easily show off the finals matches.

Also, a lot of what made Stadium cool was that there was stuff beyond just straight up Cup Battles or fighting friends, like the Gym Leader Castle, Mini-Games, and all sorts of special rules and whatnot. Also, we can always keep dreaming that they'll bring back Rental Pokemon or something else that allows People without the game to battle. There's a lot of reasons beyond just "hey it's 3D" that people would want a new Stadium.


... but I would also be totally down for a Pokemon fighter so long as it's good. I mean, if you look at the clip at the end, there's a Fighting-type fist (from the TCG) incorporated into what looks like a tournament logo. So like, who knows?

As for a fighting Pokemon game it reminds me of this:

They even have Lucario and Blaziken in that game.

[Koh]

It'd be pretty funny if it was Street Fighter + Pokemon. Ken/Ryu throws a Hadouken, Lucario throws an Aurasphere, they explode, and then the title comes up.

[Ton]

Lucarioken!
