I don't see why Team Flare wouldn't have mentioned Mewtwo (at least in their documents) had they created a second one. In contrast, no one in Kalos should know about Mewtwo's history in Kanto, so the lack of references is understandable.
Scientists found Mew mega stone, artificially modified them for Mewtwo?
Yes, please, PLEASE! If they wanted too they could even retcon Mewtwo's Y mega into an 'Awakened' forme, or a Primal since its based off Mew. I'd love Mewtwo to be a nessecary capture at some point before the equivalent of Silph/Poke Ball Company, or before you head to their secret base.
Not if they were modified. But the Mewtwonite stones might have been artificially created just from two regular evolutionary stones and Mewtwo's DNA code.
From that moment on up until the games' release in mid-October 2013, fans speculated about visiting southern coastal France, Corsica, even French Algiers. It's fairly conspicuous that XY gave us nearly the whole of France ... but didn't deliver any of the Mediterranean portions. The farthest south we got to go was Kiloude City; and while Kiloude seems the most tropical of any of Kalos's cities (what with the lighting, the architecture, and the palm trees), Bulbapedia is keen to match Kiloude up with Lyon, a city so far north that we not only then have the entire southern coastline as yet unexplored but, even crazier, we have yet to see Poké-Marseille. Marseille, guys. Only second to Paris in fame, Marseille is also the second most populated city in all of France. With a rich history that goes back literally thousands of years, Marseille is the kind of city that screams to be included in a Pokémon adaptation of France. Unova omitted a ton of US cities, sure ... but Unova also mostly focused around the American northeast (specifically the vicinity of NYC), the notable exceptions being the desert that appeared in both games and Lentimas Town that appeared in BW2 only, both of which call to mind the American southwest. There is still plenty of time (and plenty of room!) for Game Freak to revisit the North American continent and to give us regions that cover the American MidWest (Chicago), Pacific (Los Angeles), and more. But France? Given that Kalos is already such a huge grab at France's territory, it's unlikely we'll ever get a second region dedicated to the country. And that means we have to say hi to Marseille before it's too late.
Those aren't as big selling points as legendaries are. Most people don't even know which Pokémon are exclusive to the previous generations. The starters do stand out, but again, it doesn't make sense to keep them for the next release while making all the legenedaries obtainable now.
Why wouldn't they do this in 2016 after a hypothetical Kalos game? Besides, that wouldn't explain the version mascots, which they're emphasizing for ORAS.
For one thing, the update will be meant for existing players first and foremost. For another, I really don't see ORAS replacing XY on store shelves, and there is always eShop which would be needed for the update anyway. They might re-release XY with the updated content already installed.
That isn't any different from Generation II, or Generation I in the west (which only lasted 2 years; II and V lasted 2.5 years). And you'll find that you're in the minority when it comes to complaining about a generation not being drawn out.Talon87 said:
The stupid thing to do would be to underutilize the New 3DS by way of another Generation VI game. The 3DS' successor is unlikely to be released until 2017, which would make it unfeasible to release Generation VII that year. Do you really see this generation lasting five years?
That's one of the reasons why 2015 shouldn't have a main series release, apart from the XY update (probably sooner rather than later).
There was no way to update those games; XY are another story. Also, please don't pretend that B2W2 are part of the third version tradition.
It would explain why Mega Latias and Latios were programmed into XY. For all we know, so was the flying feature, or at least an early version of it.
I expect Generation VII to be announced around E3 2015 (in June), so the update should be out of the way by then. An early 2015 release would also allow them to focus on spin-off games throughout the year.
I don't see why they would do that when even ORAS are regular 3DS games. They're better off saving that upgrade for the next generation.
There are very good reasons why they should release it in early 2016, which would mean a 2015 announcement. Only the recent two generations were announced in the same year as their release, anyway. What matters is the length of the pre-release period (8-9 months), of which only the last 4-5 months are used for major promotion.
It would be fine, but I don't see how it would be better. The only question is if Game Freak can get the games ready by March, to which the answer should be positive considering that we aren't dealing with a notable hardware leap. They'd only start promoting the games at full force in October-November, so the bulk of 2015 wouldn't be derailed by that.
