I think nearly every speculation in this thread is WAY off.
What I got from these announcements was that they have been planning to make a NEW styled Pokemon game.
Not a crystal remake, and not another clone of every previous game with some new Pokemon thrown in.
I love the Pokemon games, don't get me wrong! But, every single main series Pokemon game has essentially been the EXACT same game. You have a party of Pokemon, who each have 4 moves you choose from a larger moveset. You level them up 1-100. You have turn based battled, and can catch Pokemon by wandering through grass/water/whatever. You visit what is essentially the same city over and over again: Gym/Pokecenter/Shop/Random houses/Random gimmick. You battle 8 gym leaders, go to the elite four and fight them, then win.
Sure there is some interesting filler, but basically it's all the same shit.
From the sounds of this announcement, they are making a game that breaks out of this tiny little box of generic Pokemon gameplay and trying something DIFFERENT!
=o
