You know, I just realized that I wonder what will happen with TM moves on Gen 1 Pokemon being transferred. I mean, in Gen 1, you could have Pokemon other than Meowth learn Pay Day, as it was a TM back then. Also, Body Slam(and Pinsir can have a Flying-type Body Slam thanks to Mega Pinsir), Horn Drill and Fissure.

 

[PushDustIn]

Well, I'm 99% convinced now about the leak.

Also, Blastoise as a Fire-Fighter

Also weren't there things such as Natures and what not that where introduced in later gens? I wonder how that will get carried over. Then again, there where probably various other things that changed and added in later gens that got carried over just fine from Ruby & Saphire to now.....

My verified source from Nintendo has informed and shown proof of an internal US marketing budget and scheduling overview for 2016 focusing on Wii U and 3DS, with key parts highlighting The Legend of Zelda NX to be a holiday 2016 release either same day at Zelda Wii U or shortly after during the Nintendo NX holiday 2016 launch window.

• Nintendo NX Launch games for 2016 besides Zelda NX and marketing focus remain hidden for now
• Wii U $34.5 million marketing budget for 2016 total – Zelda Wii U has $10 million with the possibility of the funding being switched to Zelda NX version depending on launch timing in 2016.
• 3DS $56.25 million marketing budget for 2016 total

3DS release list 2016 *Funded by Nintendo only*:

Spring-Early Summer
Mario and Sonic Rio 2016
Nintendo Selects Wave 1
Hyrule Warriors Legends
Disney Art Academy
Bravely Second
Code Name: “Caviar F” (all ages smaller budget game)
Metroid Prime: Federation Force

Summer
Code name: “Torte City” big budget unannounced game for all gamers core/all ages

I'm honestly curious how they're going to handle that as stats, IVs, EVs and the like worked differently in Gen 1. So I'm curious how they'll update the Pokémon across the transition to S&M to make them compatible.

Also, No Guard Machamp with Fissure will see you in your nightmares.

Jeez that is crazy we're so close to a new home console.
This will either be awesome or suck HARD

 

[Bedoop]

So all I need to worry about is whatever N-Stars is
Other then that, I can spend my muns at my leisure.
Huppah?

You know what, guys?

With the scant Sun and Moon info, the possibility of a new Nintendo crossover on 3DS, the possible NX launch;


Anyone else think Nintendo may be trying to nuke E3?

 

[SuperMii3D]

N-Stars... Oh boy, it better not be another Smash game, I cant handle the speculation.....

It's on 3DS, so I highly doubt it. I don't see Nintendo launching two Smashes on the same system.

That just makes the fact that the codename likely means a crossover even more bizarre and fascinating, though.

 

[Con0rrrr]

I'm hype for a Woodpecker Pokemon.

 

[A Distant Demon]

N-stars is REALLY easy to figure out with some thought.

I mean it's OBVIOUSLY Wonderful 101's original premise of Nintendo characters punching stuff

Platinum (Star) Games.
P-Star.
Wonderful 101.
N-Star
Nintenderful 101.

It all adds up.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Maybe N-Stars is a Mario Party esque game, I'd like to see that come to fruition.

Oh whoops, I didnt see that this was all for 3DS. Thanks for pointing it out.

 

[Coricus]

Don't we already have that, though?

It's called Smash Tour.

Yes I know it's not the same let me have the joke

 

[PK_Wonder]

Didn't SuperMetalDave64 release an accompanying Wii U list/NX development details list?

 

[Deleted member]

I feel this whole Pokemon Codename Rainbow thing will become the new Gematsu. But that's just me.

Also, Rerorero in Pepperoni Pokemon Z (and Gen 6 in general). We barely knew ya.

 

[PushDustIn]

https://kevincallahangames.wordpress.com/2014/07/09/the-strange-development-of-diddy-kong-racing-2/
This is what I want for N-Stars. Nothing else.

 

[Bedoop]

...I just noticed.
Since you can transfer Pokemon from Gen 1 to Gen 7...

Missing No.?
He's still in the VC games...
Will we finally see what all the wacky forms of Missing No. turn into?
Or will Missing No. himself return to Pokémon in all his Normal/Bird type Glory?

I feel the same
Honestly, I'll believe the leak when I see actual confirmation
Because lol if the NX is getting released this year

And now I wonder what was the point of the other Zygarde forms if we won't even get them
This is even worse than the Original Unova Dragon because 100% Zygarde will even appear in the anime

"The process is so private the designers must darken their monitors when the bottled-water deliveryman enters the office."

lol


hey if I can play a Diddy Kong Racing game while playing as Dillon all game I will buy it day 1

Too bad N-stars is 3DS and diddy was Wii U

 

[Deleted member]

Guys, it's pretty obvious that N-Stars is a game about Nintendo characters becoming Idols .

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I dunno.....

Doesn't Pokemon bank compatibility confirm that the 3DS/Wii U is gonna stay around a bit?

 

[Coricus]

https://kevincallahangames.wordpress.com/2014/07/09/the-strange-development-of-diddy-kong-racing-2/
This is what I want for N-Stars. Nothing else.

. . .What qualifies as a non-All-Star in this case?

Is it just E-Shop characters, or do characters from other formats and systems apply?

How much series sales makes a character ineligible? One million copies? Two million copies? 500,000 copies?

Does being playable in Smash Bros make you ineligible? Does having a character from your series playable in Smash Bros make you ineligible?

The criteria for this are going to be a huge influence on whether or not I will be interested.

I dunno.....

Doesn't Pokemon bank compatibility confirm that the 3DS/Wii U is gonna stay around a bit?

Pokémon Bank is a Cloud-based storage server that was designed for the specific purpose of covering all Pokémon transfers EVER.

Compatibility with it says nothing about how long the 3DS and Wii U will last.

 

[Curious Villager]

I dunno.....

Doesn't Pokemon bank compatibility confirm that the 3DS/Wii U is gonna stay around a bit?

Didn't they say that Pokemon Bank will remain a thing for future consoles? Or something along those lines when they first introduced it?

 

[Aetheri]

I just realised that the Woodpecker pokemon basically killed the leaked Pokemon List...or at least shot its chances greatly...

RIP-Wolf, Dolphin, Dragon Eevee, Gila Monster, Weta, Habanero pepper, bed sheets, etc...

Only other way is if its an incomplete list that doesn't include the regional bird and likely new starters....at least my confidence in it has slipped...not that I wasn't expecting it to be fake but its still sad....

 

[Chandeelure]

I hope "Torte City" is a Kirby game.

 

[FalKoopa]

So that leak is legitimate? That's a lot of confirmed information to take in. NX within this year, N-Stars and all.

Guys, it's pretty obvious that N-Stars is a game about Nintendo characters becoming Idols .

I'd buy that.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I'm going to wait for more details about Pokemon Sun and Moon before I decide to get the game. What they shown wasn't enough for me.

 

[Wolfie557]

So.......is Poke Sun/Moon definitly for 3DS? I don't remember seeing them say that just that it's coming holiday 2016.

 

[Solfiner]

Now I'm finally part of team broken boyz.

 

[Coricus]

So that leak is legitimate? That's a lot of confirmed information to take in. NX within this year, N-Stars and all.


I'd buy that.

Aaaaand now I'm reminded of this:

Darnit Smashboards, just let me post! I've tried to get this quick thing out like a half a dozen times now!

 

[PushDustIn]

I think this game has the potential to really tie all the regions together.

Earth revolves around the Sun. Moon revolves around Earth. Basically reinforce the "whole world" idea.

Rainbow (Niji) could be a reference to bringing all the games together (as most are based on colors).

It'd be a great way to celebrate the 20th anniversary.

 

[Deleted member]

I just wonder why ther are called Sun and Moon
Black and White had a plot that revolved around dualities and opposing ideas and opinions
X and Y because of the X and Y axis...
But no Z...
I doubt they'll focus on the day and night cycle because there's not much you can do with it that hasn't been done already

 

[Z25]

I wonder how Bank is gonna handle all the glitch Pokemon. Unless...You think missingno.'s gonna be canon now?

Please Game Freak, Make Missingno Cannon! It's what I've always wanted! Make him a legend that results from pokemon being abandoned in a pokeball to long!

I don't know if this was mentioned, but a user on NeoGAF discovered something interesting. The file names for the logos are labeled Niji_A and Niji_B.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=196787273&postcount=603

I think that's a solid point in favor of that "verified" Nintendo leak, since it listed that the code-name for the new games was Niji.

Oh ****

Ok, I'll put more faith in this now...

Was discussing this w/ the Source Gaming Guys

Very interesting wording:

They go over all 6 Generations, then when referring to 7, says "It's all coming together". Could just be marketing talk. Also could imply a lot of regions. It could finally be happening. Remember the codename Rainbow? Turns out the files of the logos have the word "Niji" in them. Rainbow in Japanese. That guy's leaks were 100% real.

Also, Blastoise as a Fire-Fighter

Squirtle Squad represent!

Spoiler

The squirtle squad definitely should show up in this game now!

N-stars is REALLY easy to figure out with some thought.

I mean it's OBVIOUSLY Wonderful 101's original premise of Nintendo characters punching stuff

Please Platinum games? This would be amazing!

So that leak is legitimate? That's a lot of confirmed information to take in. NX within this year, N-Stars and all.


I'd buy that.

I don't know about that...

Let's not forget Shin Megami Tensei X FE....
