This is completely off from whatever discussion was going on in the thread just now, but I had a thought.
I was looking at the amiibo thread just a minute ago, and it got me thinking about a article I saw on Facebook a while back written by Gamenesia...well I did some research, and I came across the original Reddit post that inspired the article. Basically through coding and stuff I don't understand, some nerd discovered that there's the potential for every single Pokemon to have it's own amiibo.
Now if this rumor was true, then it would use the amiibo card thingies they've got for the Animal Crossing dudes, not making a separate figurine for each Pokemon. Although that would be awesome, it's never going to happen, although they may make amiibo figurines for popular Pokemon that don't already have amiibos, like Hawlucha, Zoroark, and maybe some of the legendaries. It may not be the smartest move, since it may hinder interest and sales in the TCG (or maybe even vice versa!).
If this rumor is true, and every Pokemon gets it's own amiibo, then I feel like the New 3DS would be the prime system for future Pokemon games, with built-in amiibo functionality. I'm not saying that any possible remaining Gen VI games or Gen VII would be a New 3DS exclusive, but maybe that the games would be enhanced for New 3DS, much like how Majora's Mask 3D is.
As for any news, I'd agree with thatdude53 and say no more than a month until something's announced. Maybe sooner. They should take control of the hype train while it still exists.
