Re: Game Freak promise to expand the Pokémon world next year
Yeah, "nothing" disastrous happened.
Also, no room for Keldeo in Victini's people? Please tell me how the movie writers cared about cramming Celebi, Zorua, Zoroark, Entei, Raikou and Suicune into one movie.
Personally, I would have left Victini out of 2011's movie (having it in the anime instead), with Keldeo as the main star of the 2011 movie, with Meloetta as 2012's main movie star and Genesect as 2013's (along with a Gen VI Pokémon? Have to give something away to kids before a Gen VI game drops). Maybe then I might have believed that it was all planned from the start, but we had Victini taking the end of 2010 and then 2011 all to itself, with Keldeo, Meloetta and Genesect quickly pushed out during 2012.
Except that Nintendo reported a financial loss for the first time ever, Satoru Iwata and other senior Nintendo figures had to take pay cuts of up to 50% and following the announcement of the price cut, due to the huge drop in share prices, Hiroshi Yamauchi (Nintendo's 3rd President) lost 24.2 Billion yen overnight ($312 Million), not to mention Nintendo losing a lot of face (people are still waiting for a Wii U price cut).Nothing disastrous happened as a result of the 3DS' lackluster first few months.

The biggest cited reason for the mediocre launch of the 3DS was the launch titles - the only Nintendo games available on launch day were Pilotwings Resort, Nintendogs + Cats and in some regions, Steel Diver. A must have title like Pokémon would have propelled launch sales of the 3DS. There are people today bitching about how they don't want Gen VI to be on the 3DS because they don't own one...but y'know what? The "No 3DS" complainers will have to shut up and buy one one day if they want to continue playing. I personally know many people who bought a 3DS mainly for Pokémon and those who are holding off on buying one until there is a main series Pokémon game on one.but Generation V would have been adversely affected had people been forced to buy a new console for little to no justifiable reason.
Yeah, because Darkrai, Shaymin and Arceus were all revealed in the same year weren't they? Oh wait...Keldeo, Meloetta and Genesect being released in the same year only indicates that 2013 will be largely about Generation VI. It doesn't mean that there was a change of plans.

And you're telling me that some of my theories are baseless?Regardless of any additional games that might have been released, I'm certain that at the very least the Generation IV games would have made better use of the DS features. It is obvious that Game Freak didn't go all the way because they wanted to leave room for innovation in another DS-based generation.
It was easy to miss because it wasn't there. Even if there were a few people moaning online, that isn't representative of the millions of young children who are Nintendo and GameFreak's target audience.It was easy to miss considering that the Generation V hype was underway shortly after HGSS' release.
