New Pokemon RPG Coming to Japan in 2010?!

That’s right, kids! We’re not talking about the new Pokemon Ranger. Not a new Mystery Dungeon. Not even a remake of an older game.

That’s right, kids! We’re not talking about the new Pokemon Ranger. Not a new Mystery Dungeon. Not even a remake of an older game. We’re talking about a possible successor to the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum games.

Yesterday, IGN reported that Nintendo announced that they are currently working on a new Pokemon RPG for the DS, which will be complete with new Pokemon, a new region, and new game gameplay concepts. If this is the start of “Generation 5”, this will make the first time that two generations have been released on the same console (if you don’t count Gold & Silver, which could be played on the Game Boy but were intended for the Game Boy Color). The game is slated for release in Japan by the end, making it four years since the Japanese release of Diamond & Pearl.

No news other than that, but with a release date that close, you can bet that Nintendo will be releasing more information soon (E3 anyone?). In the meantime, everybody make sure you get out there and pre-order Heart Gold & Soul Silver to make your claim on one of those statuettes.

  1. About time! I have no idea why I'm so attracted to pokemon games. Maybe it's because it was the first game I ever played or I have an obsession with collecting things. Maybe now we'll finally get a MMORPG

  2. I doubt an MMO, seeing as the Wii doesn't have enough storage for a game of that scale. I doubt they would release for PC. However, I did see an article somewhere that some company was working on a possible prototype and have been pitching it to Nintendo for some time.

    I'm getting Soul Silver when I get the money to. I loved that one and Blue Version back in the day. Didn't care to much for Ruby/Sapphire (grew out of that phase). However, I wouldn't mind playing Platinum version. I may just wait for the G5 games.

  3. I would be so happy if we got a wii pokemon game and it would be heapz mad if we could throw the pokeball =P Maybe it could be caled…… Pokemon legend or sumfin and u could go thru all 4 or mabe 5 regions and collect all pokemon and stuff like daht.

    Mitch is eshaayz
