Applin's line has such good designs, if Appletun made it in for some reason I wouldn't even mind.
Some people have been saying that Gen 10 is instead coming out in 2026 for the franchise's 30th anniversary that will be celebrated that year.
ehhhhhhhh
Agreed except for the part that says Meowscarada is likely. Gen 9 missed its chance y'all, let's get with the program!
Now let's see... what matters more? Arbitrary fan theories or actual precedent?
appltun was one of my favourites from gen 8
Meowscarada is likely if we get something from Gen 9.
Just in time for a new 3D Mario
Ehhh I still think LZA and Gen 10 can comfortably be released in the same year. They had no issue releasing mainline Mario games with less than a year gap in the 3DS, so they can just as easily do the same thing with Pokémon. Which they have done on the Switch too. The anniversary doesn't change much, hitting the shelves during the holiday season is muchhh more valuable than celebrating an anniversary that only hardcore fans will be tuned in to.
Eeeeeeehhhhhh I wouldn't call that a precedent setter just yet.
You see, Scarlet/Violet was always planned for holiday 2022. And inbetween BDSP being set for a holiday 2021 release, they needed somewhere to put Legends Arceus. And what's important to note here is that, because of Pokemon day and the way they announce new games, PLA could NOT release any later than February 27th 2022. You can't just release a game while you're in the middle of hyping up another one. Well they could, but it'd be really weird and confuse both the marketing and the consumers. So with all that said there was really only one month PLA could drop in, January.
The circumstances are different now, and I personally feel like Legends Z-A will arrive somewhere around March/April-ish. Should this be the case, gen 10 would not see release next year. Which serendipitously would allow it to release during the 30th anniversary of the franchise in 2026, and TPC has a history of dropping new generations on 10-year anniversaries. They've done it every time.
So I'm not betting on two Pokemon games releasing next year, it was probably a fluke due to awkward release scheduling. Not the new precedent.
Of course I could be totally wrong, but as a Pokemon Master I'm confident in my thought process
With or without the anniversary, a new 3D Mario is long overdue. Hopefully it's a launch title, and hopefully it strikes a balance between the 64/Sunshine/Odyssey and Galaxy/3D World style. Also I wouldn't say it's "just in time", as the console is rumored to be releasing in March whereas Super Mario Bros. turns 40 in September.
Well I’ll care when I’m proven right and I will do a victory dance with a sufficient amount of pointing and/or laughing
Yep, and with that Statement, I would like to throw out My Predictions for the timing of Switch 2's Big Releases (and Cross Switch Releases)
Just in time for a new 3D Mario
Oh It’s definitely coming, I have no concerns about that. As soon as we see that new console the plumber will be right there.
I hope this next one is Odyssey 2. Odyssey really wowed me around every corner and was just like a canister of happiness I could open whenever I wanted.
At this point I think they'll go for something different, in the middle of Odyssey and Bowser's Fury. Maybe a fully open world?
I think that there are no more Pokémon remakes. I think that they're dead and Legends has replaced them.
I hope not. Don't get me wrong, I like Legends Arceus, but there's no reason we can't get Legends games and remakes.
Remakes just serve no purpose now that Legends exist to offer different stories set in those regions, and I think that if they were still wanting to make remakes then we would have also announced an XY remake to come out this holiday season alongside Legends ZA.
Said it before, but just because Sakurai said the next Smash might be ten years away in 2018 doesn't mean development on the next Smash couldn't have started a while ago. It's not like what's going on at Studio S is "Congratulations! You've been chosen to work on the next Smash game! But if you start working on it right now, it'll be ready before late 2028, and Sakurai once said that'll be when the next Smash could come out. So...do nothing until December 2025."
I don't recall Sakurai ever saying that so your point is moot.
Doesn't seem fair that Mega Man and company get to play the next Smash and we don't, but it is what it is, I guess.
It's still feels surreal that they decided to skip Gen 5 and go straight to Kalos.
Think of it this way. The Legends game will be the Return to Gen 6, so in a way that's that Generation's Remake for this current system(s) but The Remake will be focused on Gen 5 since Legends is focusing on Gen 6
I'm also taking into Account that according to Rumors, This New Switch was Delayed from Late 2024 to Early 2025, so that would kind of Mean originally that if Smash were coming out Late 2025, it would be the 2nd year technically
Let's see how Melee competitive scene would be like during the events of Mega Man Legends (basically the last games in the Classic timeline)
On the one hand I'm glad B/W didn't get half-baked remakes and Kalos is actually getting something potentially cool. On the other, despite enjoying Legends Arceus, I am worried the overall quality of ZA is going to continue being pretty low as has become standard for Pokémon sadly.
"Masahiro Sakurai thinks that "we’d be fine waiting about 10 years until the next one.""
I really feel that despite the timing not being good compared to previous FE characters, Alear's moveset potential has a lot going for them, which could make or break their inclusion in Smash 6. I feel it's entirely down as to whether Sakurai and the dev team feel they can do something unique or interesting with them.
Timing is more important than moveset potential when it comes to FE characters, for better or worse. Remember when Sakurai said that if Awakening had come out six months earlier or later, he may not have chosen Robin? Meaning he was willing to skip over the most unique FE char because he wouldn't be as recent? No matter how unique Alear is, if the timing isn't in their favor, I don't think moveset potential will save them.
Remakes exist as a way to have old games playable on new systems. Are the Resident Evil remakes redundant when the series is still getting new games?
Probably because that's not actually what they did. The Legends games are an entirely separate thing from the line of remakes.
You dont expect Gen 9 but you were surprised gen 8 didnt get in Smash Ult?
