Since they're making those statues of the old Kanto Gym leaders, I do think its an indication Kanto will be in the games in some form next year. Maybe they can have both Kanto and Kalos in the same game, to have both an anniversary tribute as well as the traditional "third version" in the same release?

About the NX, I personally hope it´s related to the Wii U, and is substituting that, and not the 3DS. That´s cause Im mainly a hand- held Nintendo fan, and I like the 3DS and don´t think it should be substituted soon. In my opinion,it could easily host gen 7 too, before they release a new handheld (to host gen 8).

I agree. However, I would say that Gen 7 should be exclusive to the New Nintendo 3DS. That way, there will be more power to work with for a new game engine. I mean, the New Nintendo 3DS can handle about the power of a Wii, as shown by Xenoblade. So, I'd like if Gen 7 was a New Nintendo 3DS game. We'd still get a fantastic (hopefully) new technology boost, making it a good improvement over Gen 6, and it would feel more separate than Gens 4 and 5 were (since both could play on every DS model). It would be more like a Gen 1-2 jump, which I find attractive, as long as it comes soon before the 3DS starts nearing the end of its (expectedly quite long) lifecycle. Another reason for using the New Nintendo 3DS is this: The New model has given a great new breath of air into the 3DS lifespan. Unlike new models of the DS and such, the New 3DS actually has a great power boost in its technology, just like a totally new handheld would provide! A whole new generation (general gaming) of games could be housed on the New 3DS, taking the 3DS lifespan up to, maybe even, 2019 or so. That would be enough time, as well, for Pokemon to have its 7th Gen exclusively on the New 3DS.

Completely agree with you. I don´t know why everybody seems in a hurry for a new console, so soon after the New 3DS came out. It´s like they make the BEST 3DS model, which corrects the problems the original 3DS has, and start a new console. It makes no sense. I think the 3ds should keep being the newest Nintendo model.

Only one detail, about gen 7 being New Nintendo exclusive, and uncompatible with 3DS/2DS, i think its not a bad idea, but... I still don´t have the "New 3DS model"so in case I still don´t own it when Gen 7 comes out, would prefer to be able to play gen 7 on my 2DS (i got a 2DS, cause I read the first 3DS had many 3d problems, all of which seem to be corrected in the New model).

I personally think, because of the big power boost, we might as well consider the New 3DS a new console generation. I mean, I know it isn't truly. But considering the fact it has exclusive games and that beefy power boost, I still think it'd be best to break ties with regular 3DS and 2DS when moving on to Gen 7. It might meqan that a lot of people have to upgrade, yes. But I truly believe it would be for the best, for the sake of having better games with true advancement. I'd like to see Gen 7 start in 2017, hopefully.

^ Oh, and I think ORAS are fantastic. Definitely get one. Personally, I prefer Alpha Sapphire. Definitely don't skip out. And yeah, I think we can be sure of no new main series games this year, now that we know it's Mystery Dungeon, which I'm really looking forward to. I hope that they do it better than the last few. Honestly, I only really liked the original so far. I didn't fully play Gates to Infinity, but from what I did play, I thought it sucked personally. Probably won't get another main series game until February at the earliest.

I wouldn't consider the New 3DS a new console, for the same reason the DSi wasn't one, everyone said "But the DSi has exclusive games." "Generation 5 should be for the DSi only." That didn't happen, now maybe things will change for the New 3DS but I doubt it. It's just an updated, upgraded 3DS. And to be honest I'm not a big fan of it because I prefer the 3DS's normal size of the XL, and thanks to Nintendo, we only got the XL version of the New 3DS in America. I REALLY did want the New 3DS in the standard size.

Sorry I'm late.

I never said the New 3DS was a new console. But it is certainly a far bigger step forward than the DSi. It actually has more power in it. It can handle Wii games like Xenoblade while the 3DS can't, and not taking advantage of its higher power would be stupid. Not only that, but if they were to release Gen VII on the New 3DS, it would actually give the generations some technological separation so that they could actually take a step forward. If nothing else, the New 3DS should provide a few exclusive features and stronger power for the game, while still being playable on the regular 3DS. That would probably be best for everyone. It would essentially be built with the New 3DS in mind, having a small few exclusive features, better running power, slight upgrade I'm overall tech, while still being playable on the regular 3DS. Everyone would be happy.


I hope I'm not the only person who wants 7th gen on the 3ds, its too expensive for people like me to buy new systems every year, it would also maximize the amount of players as well

Um, you don't have to buy new systems every year? Besides that being a personal choice, to buy a new system, a console generation lasts several years. The 3DS came out in 2011. Four years ago. Technically, you could still be playing the same one released several years ago. And same goes for every other console. Console generations last at around 4-6 years or so. The complaint of having to buy a new system every year is just crap honestly because you don't have to at all. Not only that, but why would you want to halt technological advancement and improvement for everyone else because of selfish "needs"? No offense, but seriously. You are probably correct about a 3DS release having a few more players, but that happens with every technological advancement at first. It happened with the 3DS and God knows it'll happen again. But that's worth it because of moving forward and improving quality of tech by going to a stronger system.

I never said that they could not have exclusive features to the New 3ds, Im fine with that, but the new consoles are way too expensive when they come out, and they are still expensive after they lower down a bit, and not everyone is a top class millionaire who can pay that kind of money all the time. I've only had my 3ds for two and a half years for that matter, so most people don't own the console ever sense it came out.

I want the next gen to be able to be used with all 3ds consoles with exclusive features on the New 3ds's

I read news and rumors

Not sure why most Pokefans that play the core game didn't catch in the news a few months before Pokemon Alpha Sapphire & Omega Ruby were released that GameFreak, The Pokemon Company and Nintendo all said that the remakes of Generation three were the final in Generation VI. So that would mean no Pokemon Z or X2 and Y2.

The rumor I read recently and for months really is that Generation VII is next. Hence the one and a half year to two year customary wait after the last games in a Generation are released. Anyway it's all speculation accept for the first bit.

It could be possible that gen 6 is finish but why leave Zygarde the way it is? It has two signature moves that are unavailable and not much was known about it the games which was similar to Rayquaza in Ruby/Sapphire and Kyurem in Black/White. Unless they are making Zygarde the mascot of gen 7 games, we are going to get to more games for gen 6 and I heard something about datamining for the demo or whatever it was. They said that there room for two more games for gen 6. But who knows what will happen? Also Volcanion is yet to be released.

I hear you but they didn't release Arceus for the Pokemon Pearl, Diamond, Heart Gold, Soul Silver and Platinum for the USA. They left that undone. I know they did Giratina for the Platinum. However in Emerald they really didn't finish Raquaza. They did a few fancy cut scenes. They actually seemed to have finished Raquaza finally with these remakes. Also Generation V didn't get a Kurem game with a true form Kurem with both fused. They left that out even though data mining showed another game was possible after White 2 and Black 2.

Also they never finished Mewtwo; as of yet he still hasn't had his backstory told for Generation 1. I read a rumor a few weeks ago that the next remake will be Yellow version and Mewtwo's story will be finally told in completion in that game. And if they opt for not doing it (even though in November of 2014 they said they would) they may do Generation 4 remakes which would make no since because we can still play them on the Nintendo 3ds and the new one.

Another that they never finished was Celebi. They opted to do Suicune instead. I know Celebi is an event only however it was all over that game suggested unlike Shaymin and the other Event onlys. Heck they even finished Mew in the Emerald version with the old sea map. However they never released that one to the USA either.

Nintendo or Game Freak has never implied they are doing a Yellow Remake or stated that will happen. I have not seen that suggested anywhere. I agree it is a possibility for a future game. Any rumors are just that, rumors unless proven otherwise.

Even though they could just leave Zygarde as is I kinda doubt they would do that since its being treated very similarly to Kyurem and Giratina. The datamining and the two hidden moves suggests a pair of games with Zygarde as mascot. Anything is possible at this point, though I think Sinnoh remakes are a few years down the line.

Thanks for the move of that other thread wasn't sure where it went. Anyway any thoughts on this Pokemon Yellow Remake For 3DS

also We May Not Have A Pokémon Z Release Date, But We Do Have 1,000 Dancing Pikachus heavily suggested by the 1000 pikachu's

My sentiments exactly. Because if that were the case, we seriously should have ALL heard it by now.

I guess I might point this out: I seriously doubt their next main games would be exclusive to the new 3DS. My reasoning: The way they marketed X/Y and ORAS, making it New 3DS exclusive will anger a lot of people.

Basically, Nintendo sold a console known as the Nintendo 2DS in November 2013. Even more, they positioned it as a way to get people to play X/Y in the first place. There were loads of console bundles with the budget model, with the new video games included. It was as if the consoles were designed to sell the games.

Even more, they decided to extend this marketing to ORAS on the 2DS the year after that. This is despite the fact that the bundle for the 2DS were performed just 2 months before the New 3DS was unveiled.

Now, Understand that the New 3DS only has minor performance improvements, and not enough for me to be considered a new generation console. I only know one game that has decided to be exclusive to it. Software has not been changed enough for the new system either...

If they were to make a New 3DS exclusive, imagine all the people who bought the 2DS bundle's view of it: a single console, only one other game reliant on it, for 200 dollars, plus 40 dollars for the game. Will that influence enough people to buy it? I doubt that.

If they did a non 3DS game, I bet it would be for a true Next Generation console, whose specs aren't not yet known - not the New 3DS.

Oh, trust me. Some of them are not doing it out of bias against more Generation VI games, but merely because of clashing evidence.

- They did release Arceus in the US, it was a TRU event for Pokemon Platinum, it wasn't left "undone".

- I don't understand why they had to reveal everything about Rayquaza in Generation 3, same goes for Kyurem in Generation 5, thought that they want to save some things for the future? Rayquaza certainly didn't need anything until the Primal Reversions for Groudon and Kyogre were announced. The Original Dragon could possibly be a lore-only Pokemon.

- It's just a rumor, not an actual thing. And they never explained Mewtwo's backstory in Generation 1, Generation 3, Generation 5, and in X/Y, what makes you think they'll do it now?

- ... What do you even mean they didn't "finish" Celebi? It is "finished". Pokemon Crystal wasn't its game, you could just catch it via an event like you could with Mew, Deoxys, Lugia, and Ho-Oh in Generation 3, Darkrai, Shaymin, and originally Arceus in Generation 4, and Victini in Generation 5.

True. A few years after the 3DS was released, they still made B&W and B&W2 on DS

There are plenty of unused moves throughout the entire pokemon game history that were never officially released.
