Yeah shovelware... a major game like Pokemon will not be released on a dying system... the only reason B/W were on the DS was because the 3DS wasn't out yet. now that it's out it doesn't make sense to continue on a dying system... plus they are already making games for the 3DS so like Pokemon Dash before it they are probibly going to move it to a different system... they done it before with gen II and the GBC...

Just release R/S 3DS next year then Grey then Gen VI which can retern to Gen II's format... it makes no sense to ignore the games 10 year anniversry that is a big deal...
If anything, the 3DS is a dying system. It's brought Nintendo nothing but trouble at the moment; low sales, massive pay cuts. Right now, the safer option is the Nintendo DS.

Hell, next year, they could just port Ruby/Sapphire to the 3DS Virtual console, while they focus on Grey as a physical release...if the 10th anniversary is so important (Which it isn't; Nintendo didn't care about Red and Green's 15th).

DoesMewtwo get ne2w moves or unlock anyhing or is it a huge waste of time?
All we know about it at the moment is that is has its usual Pressure ability. Remember though, Pikachu Coloured Pichu's relationship to Spiky-Eared Pichu wasn't known until months after it was revealed. I imagine we'll learn more about it soon, either via Smash, or otherwise.

CoroCoro scans are showing the Mewtwo event, and a Pokepark sequel is coming out this winter in Japan.

I honestly hope that the Masuda announcement isn't about the Pokepark sequel, although I don't see why it would. Like what was pointed out several times, I don't think Masuda would be making a huge deal about a side-game of that type since he only seems to primarily work on the main series, and plays a small part in only a select few side-games.
Masuda will appear on Pokemon Smash for the Mewtwo event, but since it is covered in a question mark, there's a possibility that there is more into that Mewtwo event.

DoesMewtwo get ne2w moves or unlock anyhing or is it a huge waste of time?
For now, we only know of Mewtwo's distribution date and it's ability being the same as Pressure, but again just like what I've said above, being it covered on a question mark means that there's a possibility of it having more into it.

They are not going to put a pokemon game on the VC... since it won't allow trading which is a huge part of Pokemon... and wht would they doon the 15th? Kanto is completly visitable in HG/SS and frankly people are really getting sick on fucking kanto.

the problem with the 3DS was the price... it was selling decently just not as good as the DS was. now that the price has went down the 3DS have been selling a lot better.

and yup just as I though... they wasted an event on Mewtwo and he doesn't even get a DW ability... such a waste

Why wouldn't we be able to trade if the game was a port? All it would need is reprogramming to allow trade via the 3DS wireless communications, and for it to be recognised by the PokéShifter.

And whether or not hardcore fans on the internet are getting fed up with Kanto (which is debatable), the 15th anniversary for the birth of a multi-million-pound franchise is a pretty big thing. More so than the 10th anniversary of a game that belongs to a generation that said hardcore fans constantly call crap. I'm not asking for another R/G remake; what I'm saying is, the 15th anniversary was ignored (Save for some C-Gear skins).

As I said, hold your horses. When Pikachu-Coloured Pichu was first revealed, we all thought it was just a Pichu that happened to be shiny. It was only after HGSS were announced that we learned about the Spiky-Eared Pichu event. Besides, whether or not it was available via HGSS, it's a free Mewtwo that's being released over Wi-Fi; so you don't have to go to a retail event.

Sure, the 3DS sales have improved...but not that much; games are still being delayed due to slow adoption. Why else would Nintendo be repackaging the Wii for cheaper, and releasing a new DSi XL? It's to improve profit margins.

It's not really debatable Kanto has been run into the groud...honestly I'm glad they ignored it.. and if you haven't noticed Gen III is winning pretty much every poll here so it'd like to think the haters were more vocal... R/S sold extremmly well.

Remakes are easy to do just update things and so what if the 3DS had a slow start so did the PS3 but look at it now. and since when were they making another DSi XL?

Before HGSS were released, everyone was saying Gen II was the best. Now they have been released, everyone is saying Gen III was great; when before, they were going on about how bad it is (and now, people are saying Gen II was the worst). Once RS remakes are released, everyone will have forgotten about Gen III, and going on about how great Gen IV was.

Remakes are more work than you think. You'd be surprised, but they actually have to practically create the games from scratch - even for ones which don't appear to have much difference (like Ocarina of Time 3D). The Gameboy Advance and the Nintendo DS (never mind the 3DS) are completely different consoles in terms of power; the only difference is, they'd have all the maps and stuff made from the last game that they can just copy the design from. As for the other DSi XL - Here.

Also, look at the PS3? I'm still not seeing much to be perfectly honest.

It was a slow start for it to... and Game Freak don't seem the type to port a game... if so they would've ported HG/SS with the DSi... but they didn't did they? So chances are extremly high that they aren'tgoing to port a game Masuda has a personal connection to the R/S why not let it shine? and that DSi thing seem tottaly fail really it's the same price as the 3DS... I don't see people buying it to be honest...

They wouldn't have been able to port Gold and Silver onto the DSi, because that console didn't have a Virtual Console, and they wouldn't have put it on the Wii Virtual console because 1) The Wii doesn't have GB games and 2) They like the games to stay on handhelds.

You're over-stating Masuda's relationship to RS because of Hoenn. Sure he designed it, and it was based on the region where he lived as a child, but so what? Like every businessman on the planet, he has to think of what's right for business before his own personal beliefs.

I'm not saying there won't be a RS remake; I'm just saying it won't happen in 2012.

Even though this forum is a pretty good-sized one with over 1,000 members (biggest one I've belonged to besides DeviantArt :-/ ), you can't really use what people here think about certain games to prove your arguement of wanting a R/S remake. This forum alone doesn't speak for the entire fandom, let alone what the game creators themselves are thinking or plan on doing in the very near future.

Eh I guess so... Why not? R/S was a good game a lot better then G/S if you ask me... but I guesss thats my opinion. As far as we know they have already started making the game and are keeping us in the dark. I still think the Pink DSi thing is fail I mean who's going to by a DSi the same price as the 3DS? it's way inferior in terms of power

You'd be surprised xD. Sure, I think it's odd too (Especially the Wii Family Edition, that's basically a Wii without the ability to play Gamecube games), but the DS family is still selling quite a bit, and people are still unsure about the 3DS (mainly because of the 3D and the bad press it's received).

And yeah, GameFreak are most likely working on Generation VI right now. Black and White entered development after Diamond/Pearl's release (the senior members of GF went to Black/White, while the other people worked on Platinum and HGSS) - obviously, the senior people would have been overseeing those games too.

I thought they started B/W the same time they did HG/SS? and the 3DS isn't only 3D I have one it's pretty damn good. they ca do a lot with it... and people will have to get a 3DS eventually because either R/S 3DS Grey and definitly Gen Vi will be on it so getting the DSi is a huge waste. Mayb they'll wait a few years but I doubt they'll wait till Gen VI to release them might as well be the next game out or the ones to finish of Gen V

Nope; Black/White entered the early stages of development following Diamond and Pearl's launch.

I have a 3DS too (had one since launch day). The problem is though, the press weren't very kind to the 3DS (saying the 3D causes headaches and stuff...only time I've had headaches is when I've been playing at 2am), and unfortunately, people believe the press 9.9.

The fact that GameFreak will have to move to the 3DS soon is why I think we won't see Ruby/Sapphire remakes for a while. I'd imagine that Grey will be made for the DS, as Black/White were (Although G/S worked on the old Gameboy, they were marketed as Gameboy Colour games; so technically, all third versions have been on the same console as their primary pair). So I can see Grey being released in 2012 as the last DS game; then we'll see the Pokémon main series on the 3DS from 2013. After all, DP launched in Japan 2 years after the DS' launch, and in Europe, Emerald was released in America and Europe after the DS' launch.

They said it can giv headaches to little kid which is why they have a thing to turn the 3d off... and Emerald was in the very same boat as B/W was... the DS wasn't out yet however if the DS was out in Japan before Emerald they might have done it on the DS... plus Pokemon Dash was released for the DS soon after Emerald which was the last GBA game made... They are made Pokemon Rumble for the 3DS which makes me think they are finished with the DS

On the topic of PokePark 2: So we have a sequel for a game hardly anyone has wanted, and they are having the president of the Pokemon Comany announce it on TV? I feel absolutely robbed. They hyped us up for a sequel to a disturbingly bad game, and not, say, MD3, Ranger 4, or the new Stadium game. It's like we're having those "Oh, it's a new Pokemon! No, it's just some Giratina/Shaymin/Rotom/Pichu forme." moments all over again.

By now I've learned to treat promises of exciting thing from Pokémon Smash with a healthy degree of skepticism. It almost always turns out to be something far less exciting than everyone expects.

Though frankly, I'd take a new Stunfisk form over this...

Junichi Masuda isn't the president of the Pokémon Company; he's the Director of the Board at GameFreak.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team was released in Japan a year after Pokémon Dash; yet they felt the need to release a MD on the GBA as well as DS.

Masuda's announcement has nothing to do with PokéPark 2. We know that he is going to reveal some details about the event Mewtwo, which could be (and most likely is) foreshadowing the next main series game.

Mitchman said:
Mewtwo's getting a very limited run, for only a month, and the art is no different, just his hand sticking out.
"Only" a month? Victini got no more than that, and it was a brand new event-exclusive Pokémon.
