My guess is it will be Pokémon Stars, it'll be a third game in the S/M gen but it will be a direct sequel a la B2/W2. You'll play as Lillie in Kanto, and possibly return to Alola in the 2nd half of the game. On Switch definitely. 3DS version also reasonably likely.

Now that Monster Hunter XX has been announced for the Switch, and has a fair bit of cross-compatibility with the 3DS version... I think that the most likely outome is that the next Pokemon games will be available on both platforms.

Here's two ideas: 1. Sound as an attack-only type. No Sound-type Pokemon. or 2. Sound, not as a type, but as a new category of attack like Physical or Special. Maybe Sound attacks, instead of using the attacking Pokemon's atk or sp. atk stat, it uses the average of those two stats... maybe...

1. Okay, I missed a few obvious ones like Kriketune, Chingling, Noibat, etc... but just because a Pokemon makes sound and/or is named after a sound it makes, that doesn't automatically make it a good sound-type candidate. 2. Never did I say I didn't like Pokemon designs based off of inanimate...

All these crazy type ideas reminds me of when I was a 10-year-old making my own Pokemon cards. Pretty sure I had a sound type. But then again, I also had a nuclear type.. and I think even a gun type. :rolleyes: Frankly, I think sound-type would be too narrow. Only a veeeery small number of...

Straight from Pokemon.com: "Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are coming out for systems in the Nintendo 3DS family in holiday 2016, with a new world, new Pokémon, and new adventures to discover!"

Ah, the skeptics... how adorable. Let the hype flow through you! Personally, I'm thinking the names Sun and Moon themselves lend credence to the roadtrip idea... Sun/Moon indicates day/night, but we've already had mere day/night cycles. But no Pokemon game has yet captured the magic seen in...

Looks like King Xerneas beat me to the punch on one.

Checking into a motel?

There does seem to be a bit of focus on vehicle designs... Along with FFXV, perhaps 2016 will be the year of roadtrip-themed JRPGs...

Dismissing unsubstantiated rumors is one thing, but what evidence there is for Sun and Moon is compelling enough to make this cool headed skeptic fairly certain that they're real. What Sun and Moon actually are is anyone's guess at this point, certainly. But guess what? Guessing is part of the fun.

Good points. And speaking of the upcoming Direct... What'll you folks be doing to pass the time aboard the Pokemon Direct Hype Train Express? I'm playing Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth. ;)

I don't think a Pokemon Z was ever intended to be a reality. Game Freak has said that they like to be unpredictable and have the newest Pokemon entries be a surprise. I'm not refuting the fact that there's evidence to suggest Pokemon Z, but I do think that it was intentional misdirection on the...

Thanks for the interest. :) I've got a general idea of the storyline, yes. I don't want to divulge any info about it, since I'm still in the process of solidifying the finer details... Plus, I want it to be a bit of a surprise. Though ultimately, since I'm going for a more open-ended...

I'm starting up a new Pokemon fangame project, hopefully this time it doesn't become vaporware like all of my previous projects. To help avoid this potential fate, I'm diving headlong into the difficult stuff.... stuff like programming the battle engine, for instance. I've yet to decide on a...
