It wasn't though. It was straight up speculated it was game related, and its turning more and more likely to be movie related.

That's true, but it has already confirmed that a new game would be coming out this coming spring anyways. With that said, I don't think it's a bad thing to assume that at least the title of that game might be revealed along with other stuff. Not to mention that Genius Sonority is supposed to be at this announcement as well, which is kind of puzzling. Why would Genius Sonority be at an event if it was only going to be about the movie? That doesn't really make sense to me.

The event isn't about the movie, whose website is already up (it's the 17th in Japan) and reveals nothing of note.

I don't expect anything from Jump Festa other than whatever it is that explains Genius Sonority's link to Battle Chess BW. However, it is possible that the Pokémon Company will confirm what kind of game can be expected next month.

Only reason I can see CoroCoro mentioning the lack of news at Jump Festa is perhaps cause they want their readers to not buy anything else, but such a huge leap of misinformation might be taking it too far.
CoroCoro didn't mention Jump Festa at all. It's odd that you would even think that; not everything in Serebii's news is quoted verbatim from the actual source.

I dout Battle Chess will be the game announced they all ready announced it.. if it isn't a Main Game (which going by everything will be Grey unless GF decides to screw with us and make R/S the next games) it might be a Collo/XD Sequal... hey it's Genius Sority right? they really seem to be hyping the new game so doubt t's PMD or Ranger...

It's never been said that a game is going to be announced at the event, and yet Genius Sonority are credited in the copyright information and Battle Chess BW has been implied to be a spin-off game (which it currently is not) by the official website. This, added by the fact that CoroCoro can't announce any game a month late, should indicate that Genius Sonority are linked to Battle Chess BW (probably through a 3DSWare "surprise").

If this is true, at least it won't have any bearing on next month's announcement.

I say they might at least reveal the title Keledo and maybe Kyurem's new forme... as he looked like he was changing forme at the end of the movie trailer... I say his new form would represent Taiji

Whatever their 'surprise' announcement is, we'll found out in a few hours I guess since Jump Festa starts in just over 2 hours. They'll probably reveal the surprise during their press event part of Jump Festa.

Nobunaga Ambition X Pokemon....

WHAT?

If there's a crossover you should be doing, it's with Digimon, dammit...

Given the fandoms, I don't think anyone wants to touch that with a ten foot pole.

If this is true, its the first time a "surprise" promised in Pokemon was actually surprising.

*Dances*

1) It's a curveball. It isn't the R/S remakes some have been cheering for. Makes me happy for that reason.
2) It's for the DS; proving my point that the console isn't dead yet.
3) Researching about Nobunaga's Ambition...looks interesting. Fantastic even. Looks fantastic. Looking at that promotional art *drools*

Pretty odd that the cover art has Eevee and Jigglypuff on it instead of other notable 5th Gen Pokemon. Sure, there's Zekrom in the background, but 1/3 of the current generation seems counter-intuitive to their market plan.

Is this their answer to keeping the old Generations alive or something? Implementing crossovers? I'm curious.

EDIT: Just looked at the other screens. Eevee and Jigglypuff aren't the only ones. So weird.

Well I'm surprised at least...
From the shots, looks like the Eevee boy/girl is the player. So I guess that makes Eevee the starter.

So, will the Coro Coro announcement be something completely different or will it just be news on this game?

Seeing this kind of artwork in a Pokemon games feels a little out of place...

Oh well, this is going to be one of the most weirdest crossovers even...

Please come out in English...

Nobunaga's Ambition is a turn-based RPG game. I may very well get this if it gets localized in English. Please let this be the case.

Wonder if this game will be incorporated into the anime in some way. It would make for a killer filler arc.
