The Pokémon Company announced today that a brand-new Pokémon {{pkmn|game|RPG}} is set to be released later this year for the {{bp|Nintendo DS}}. The press | The Pokémon Company announced today that a brand-new Pokémon {{pkmn|game|RPG}} is set to be released later this year for the {{bp|Nintendo DS}}. The original [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/game/g100129_02.html press release], along with [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/?p=237 Junichi Masuda's Blog entry on the announcement], have now both been translated by Bulbagarden webmaster Archaic. Given the mention of new {{bp|Pokémon (species)|Pokémon}} being included, and the statements that these games will be an "inventive rebirth" of the series and that the staff are "doing their best to exceed every Pokémon game before now", it would now appear that this is indeed an announcement for a {{bp|Generation V|fifth generation}} of main series games as was first speculated. This would be an interesting turn for the series to take, as two generations have never shared the primary console; while {{bp|Generation II}} could be played on a regular {{bp|Game Boy}}, it was designed with the {{bp|Game Boy Color}} in mind. | ||
The February 2010 edition of {{bp|CoroCoro}}, due out in only a few weeks, is set to reveal a "surprising announcement", which will be related to this game, as well as the upcoming Pokémon movie, ''{{bp|Phantom Ruler Z}}''. In addition, we now know that the episode of {{bp|Pokémon Sunday}} to be broadcast on February 7th will include an appearance from Junichi Masada himself, though no specific details have been released about what may be released here as of yet. With no Generation V Pokémon yet revealed, this would make for the shortest amount of time between the revelation of a brand-new Pokémon and its debut in the main series should these games be Generation V. | |||
