Yup, if this is correct then all of this is being built like a weird trilogy. With Oras being the start XY being the second part and Whatever comes next being the finale that answers all of the questions posed in the two previous entries.
Hmmm... A trilogy sounds awesome. Except the third part is usually the weakest xD I am obviously talking about films xD
Because people, and myfself included, think the 6 generation is unfinished. There were Pokemons hinted and unexplored. And traditionaly there always a third game, so people are expecting for it.
Usually Lol, however what got me thinking about all this was some of the hidden lore in Oras and how it really compliments XY in a way almost like a prequel if you will, while XY as a sequel which sets the pieces in motion, and the final act will reveal everything that we want to know. Most Pokémon games lack a strong connection but it seems like GF is going out of their way to connect all the Gen 6 games somehow.
Can you name them. I will concede we never saw the Original Dragon in Gen 5, but what other glaring plot holes did Game Freak choose to ignore?
So you think 4 to 5 different parts of the franchise are all going out of their way to promote something, that paying customers will never actually be able to buy? Similar with the Zygarde lines in total, all this effort in making new formes, new stories, hyping for a game that will never come? I don't claim to understand Pokemon's business model but that makes no sense to me.
Mewtwo didn't get a new form of its own. The introduced a brand new concept of Mega Evolutions of which it received one. What you are suggesting would be equivalent of Black2 and White2 never existing, just ending Gen 5 with N flying off, then someone in XY randomly handing you the Gene Splicer and leading you to find out Kyurem has 2 random forms.
To quote your earlier line, I think it is you are clutching at straws here. They announce some merchandise, and this leads you to believe that the whole thing will be wrapped up by that point, and then they will just carry on referring to Z even though Z will be long gone. Why then were Adventurs in Unova not named M's adventures in Unova? Instead of XY&Z during the Goodra arc it could have been called XY and Goomy. I think it is made very clear that the Z is special, hence why it changes the name of the whole season, and the announcer in the film trailer even exclaimed AND Z
Plenty of games have come some time after forme reveals. I find it illogical that you try and use formes clearly intended for a new game, as some sort of evidence to suggest there will be no new game?
I can't speak for the whole fandom, but I personally am sick of spin offs. And while Masuda spoke of resolving Gen 6 in different ways, I can't really see him outsourcing the finale of a 5 to 6 year project (assuming they started XY in 2012) to some 3rd party spin off maker, or app developer.
Well at the moment he is just a Pokemon that can create steam, not much of a story in that. Every other end of gen mythical Pokemon has been special. Genesect had its drives, Arceus had its plates, Deoxys its forms, Celebi could travel in time, Mew had a clone and was the ancestor of all Pokemon. A pokemon that just makes steam, isn't in the same league. Like with Hoopa and Diancie, there is something more to it.
Funny you should mention Rayquaza, I see parallels, just as it had a rivalry with Deoxys (final mythical of Emerald) across multiple media, I can see Zygarde the protector of the eco system, having a rivalry with Volcanion (creature that goes around flattening landscapes, causing fog and blowing up mountains.
No, I meant from a Southern Kalos point, the Kalos we know is Northern Kalos. So basically XY Kalos. My mistake xD.
