What should the next pair of games be called?

[Extroth]

We still have plenty of letters to go through if they're feeling lazy.

 

[Lylian]

As you may have noticed, I would like more gemstones.

 

[glik]

A pair of games that take place in the equivalent of the Industrial Revolution: Pokémon Iron & Pokémon Copper

 

[Morningstar]

As you may have noticed, I would like more gemstones.

Okay, then Pokemon Garnet and Amethyst (Pearl's already taken )

 

[Osprey]

Jade, Onyx, Copper, Opal, Obsidian, Granite, Quicksilver... random metals/minerals/semiprecious gems. Can't think of anything else.

 

[WallflowerCanyon]

Or we could just get a singular game called "Pokémon Infinity", and have something of everything from every main series game crammed into it. Hence the "infinity".

Bonus:

- Pokémon Cosmo and Pokémon Wanda
- Pokémon SpongeBob and Pokémon Patrick
- Pokémon Thor and Pokémon Loki
- Pokémon Fox and Pokémon MSNBC
- Pokémon OhMyGosh and Pokémon WhatTheHeck

 

[Bolt Strike]

The problem is it needs to be an interesting duality. I don't think we're going to get more gemstones because they're not as related as the ones we already had. I can't think of what kinds of dualities they could do next though.

 

[Krash]

Pokemon SuperRed and UltraGreen... FireRed and LeafGreen remakes for the anniversary.

I don't understand why they would make a remake of a remake?

 

[froakiefroak]

Pokemon Z and W...?

lol

 

[Bolt Strike]

Pokemon SuperRed and UltraGreen... FireRed and LeafGreen remakes for the anniversary.

Because taking the ORAS approach to Kanto would do more for the region than GSC, FRLG, and HGSS did for it combined.

 

[CynthiaLover]

Pokemon Dawn Sun and Dusk Moon. Or maybe Pokemon Synthesis and Pokemon Antithesis. Or maybe Pokemon Discovery and Pokemon Mystery.

For DP remakes, how about Temporal Diamond and Cosmic Pearl.

 

[Lylian]

As you may have noticed, I would like more gemstones.

Okay, then Pokemon Garnet and Amethyst (Pearl's already taken )

I was going to say Garnet, actually. Oh, isn't there a Pokemon called Onyx already? Maybe Amethyst and Opal? The best gemstones.

 

[Morningstar]

Well Yin and Yang is out, Heaven and Hell would be too controversial. Left and Right or Up and Down would be uninteresting (the former pair would head into a different controversy).

Pokemon Orange and Pokemon Purple hadn't happened yet, neither did Pokemon Cyan and Magenta. On metals we have Pokemon Steel and Iron (and variations), Mythril and Orichalicum, etc. There is also pairs like Castor and Pollux (dealing with life and death themes, though that may rehash the Kalos legendaries a bit), Romance and Enlighten (for Romanticism and Enlightenment, or more simply, Nature/Emotions vs Science/Stoicism), Tempest and Earthquake and finnaly Past and Future

 

[WallflowerCanyon]

Pokémon Vibranium and Pokémon Adamantium. Funny in that the word "adamant" is in adamantium, and we have the Adamant Orb for a 'mon who's a Steel-type. Alright, that's it. The next time I catch Dialga, I'm naming it Logan.

For themes, we should also start taking into account the possibility of alternate universes that's been brought up in the Delta Episode. What if for Gen 6 or Gen 7, we get games that the plot is based around that aspect? What would the names of those games be? I can't really think of any dual-themed names to go along with that, other than stuff like "past", "present", "future", "infinity", ect. The only name out of that group that doesn't sound too boring or cliché is "infinity". Somebody had already suggested Zero and Infinity.

 

[Bolt Strike]

How about Myth vs. Fact? Would that be too controversial? Or maybe Logic vs. Emotion?

 

[Snowy]

How about Myth vs. Fact? Would that be too controversial?

I think with Arceus, Pokemon has already crossed that line so... anything is fine.

But I think it's important to remind people of the franchise's target demographic. I really don't think Nintendo is going to use game names that are overly long or complex.

I'll go with Pokemon TemporalDiamond and CosmicPearl.

 

[Bolt Strike]

But yeah, they haven't really explored that duality of beliefs and feelings vs. facts and logic and that could lead to some interesting conflicts in the plot. We've already seen several villains that were well meaning sociopaths fueled by their ideologies, perhaps this theme could expand on that.

 

[skyradiant]

Pokémon Paleo and Pokémon Neo, with the two mascot legendaries having a contrast of past and future, and a third one that represents the present. There's also Pokémon Chrono Diamond and Pokémon Choros Pearl for D/P remakes.

 

[Boss1708]

Pokemon Macro and Micro.
