The 29 boxes I ordered (3 are for me...I sold the other 26 to people on here XD) are coming tomorrow! I'm excited to open my 3 boxes. :) On a side note, Otacute is pretty expensive...$32.90 plus shipping from Japan compared to about $2-4 less via AmiAmi...unless you're in a real time crunch...

Hydro Cannon, The Japanese boxes do not include box promos (Porygon-Z in the case of BW9). However, if there is a pack campaign (Luxio, Riolu and Mewoth as with BW3), then I will receive some promos. I never receive the holo box promos like Porygon-Z, though. Only Japanese retailers get those.

That'd be interesting, but given the lack of other hints, I'd honestly say that's a stretch. Many different European languages use "ciao" informally. In fact, I recall it being used in French as a salutation as well. Even Spanish, for that matter. Could be, but seems unlikely.

Huh, really interesting that Masuda mentioned the whole "bonds = stronger Pokemon" thing. The trailer mentioned something to that extent too: "The more you battle together, the stronger your bond will become." Just my two cents, but I do believe that this new mechanism will inhibit backwards...

Hydro Cannon, Unfortunately, I do not have any sealed JPN (or even English!) packs at this time. :( Sorry!

Yeah, I was. I was trying to imply that people on this thread would take any simple coincidence and stretch/distort it to make it seem like R/S will be remade. :P However, I do believe we haven't seen the last of Hoenn. Maybe the R/S plot, but not Hoenn.

As soon as I saw Froakie, I thought of this: http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/29557144.jpg Wow, simultaneous release sounds great! I'm still importing, though, to practice my Japanese. ;) I think these are the best starters since Generation II, especially Froakie. This is probably...

Who knows, "6thgenerationeon" could possibly be the co-star, assuming Virgil will be in the movie. I think that too many people are under the assumption that an Eeveelution announcement tonight/tomorrow is definite. Yes, we've had hints to it, but we'll see. I think we'll get mascots, titles...

Are you sure about that? The Japanese website has a countdown timer which indicates that it starts in 37 hours... http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/important_announce/?a001=msign Am I the only one seeing 37 more hours?

I think that the biggest hints you guys have would be the most recent ones. That being said... The logos practically HAVE Rubies and Sapphires on them!

NachoMan and other R/S people: I think the real discrepancy we are having is over the pattern of remakes. Most people on here think that remakes come out two Pokémon generations after the original games. But I think Generation V of Pokémon throws that off course. Think about it like this. FRLG...

I must say, your evidence makes it sound compelling. These type of hints were the same kinds used to predict HGSS. I think your points are valid. I agree that a Hoenn remake is sure to happen, and always have, but just not now due to hardware situations. We'll all see in 24 hours though. EDIT...

On a more serious note, what are the chances of this announcement that Pokémon is going fully online, and becoming a MMORPG? Pokémon is moving to iOS? Anything else, for that matter? It seems like most of us, including myself, as assuming that this announcement has to be either Generation VI or...

NachoMan, if you think that my comment on SoulSilver's "argument" for remakes was bashing, then you must consider politics all out nuclear warfare. I was not trying to bash SoulSilver in any way. I was commenting on the user's bias and lack of tangible ideas. No concrete evidence besides vague...

What time is the announcement going to be posted in Japan? Do you think the Japanese website will update on the 7th (USA time) before its American counterpart, or do you think that both sites will update at the same time on the 8th USA time (which would already be very late 8th or early 9th...

Point taken, but the 3DS is definitely considerably more different from the DS family than the GBC was from the GB. Some even consider the GBC an iteration of the GB. It's about the consumer, not the specs. I really don't know what GF could have added except for color to Crystal, which they did...

Hmm, let's see... GB vs. GBC: -Color Added -Same Screen Size -Same Game Engine (sprite design, etc.) -Same CPU DS vs. 3DS: -Bigger screens -Faster Processor -3D Graphics -MANY new features for developers (augmented reality, etc.) -Different cartridges -Completely different game engine...

Happy birthday to you!

You keep dogmatically preaching that we are getting remakes. Aside from saying that it is "too early" for a Gen VI game (that is false, see the time between early Generations for proof), what is your evidence that 2013 will bring us remakes? So far, you've given nothing but your opinion. I'd...

First off, let me say that I am not attempting to flaunt any inside information: we are all just speculating based on patterns and current Nintendo hardware. On that note, let me explain why R/S remakes are improbable: 1. Two scenarios are possible for R/S remakes if they are to come out in...
