New Pokémon RPG This Year!

by the Pocket World team

In a shock announcement on the Pokémon Japanese website today, it has been revealed that there will be a brand new Pokémon role playing game, in stores this year!

New Pokémon RPG This Year!New Pokémon RPG This Year!The president of Pokémon Company confirmed that they are working on an entirely new Pokémon RPG for the Nintendo DS, and that it will include at least one brand new Pokémon! Our translation of the announcement tells us that they are planning to recreate the game from the ground up, so that should introduce some interesting new gameplay elements.

So that would make this mystery game the first of the fifth Generation of Pokémon games, and the first time a new generation has begun on the same console as the previous generation of games. So what is your reaction to this news? Our first thoughts are that we would rather they created a definitive Pokémon RPG for the Wii, using the advanced graphics and motion capabilities of the console rather than simply create another DS game. But what do you think? Leave your comments here and start a discussion!

More on this as we get it…

      cool thx pkmn world

    • PokePuddy said:

      Wow! A new RPG! Sweet! I wonder if it will be a remake of and old version, or a complete new region of Pokemon? Hmmm….

    • PokeDave said:

      no keep it on the DS and sounds awesome i’m really excited, should be epic!!!!

    • Vic said:

      ITs about time, they should come out with more games sooner and not wait so long. They should also sell them everywhere at the same time.

    • Jason said:

      Omg! I can’t wait! Althouh I’ll probably be dead by the time this comes to the UK.

    • Picmix said:

      What?
      After Heartgold and soulsilver their bringing out another one

    • Dark Archon said:

      “the first time a new generation has begun on the same console as the previous generation of games.”

      Not really. The second generation started on a GameBoy (with Color support), which was still a gameboy. This time, it will start on a DS (with DSi support), which is still a DS.

    • terry said:

      Wow it has been on serebii,net and pokebeach.com and now here!I’m so excited!I think it will come out in the U.S. in 2011

    • jt said:

      better make it for the ds, cause im not spending money to get a wii

    • steven thomas said:

      AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!(loud yell of excitment)

    • thomas said:

      adorei esse jogo, mas a 5ª geração inclui evoluções?

    • Alex said:

      awesome!! im really glad theyre making more for the ds. ive only had the chance to play on a couple of wii games, but always preferred the graphics and gameplay of the ds, so im happy theres more ds games! i really hope its gonna be good and that the new pokemon will be cool!

    • Emzo said:

      I think it will be good to have another game on DS, but I think another Pokemon game on Wii would be better.

    • bigdeaks said:

      I love the idea of a new pokemon! yes it would be good on the wii but i love the ds titles

    • Sarge said:

      This is great news but… Wouldn’t it be even better if (and I am turning away from nintendo here) they made Pokemon to the same standard they make final fantasy games?
      Think about it….They have more than enough pokemon now, to make a real world map to explore. You could do battles like how they did it in ff12. Except that when you run up to a monster you just chuck your pokeball out, and your character stands in the background as the focus is on your pokemon fighting the wild pokemon.
      Game Freak must have made mega profits off this franchise so now it is time to do it justice and expand for not only young players but young adults too. At my ripe old age of 22 I would really love to see this game on the big screen on the PS3. But I guess thats the problem isnt it :P nintendo don’t have a console like the PS3!
      Oh, if only I could work for them *sigh*

    • Andres Candela said:

      Cool I cant wailt I thought New generation of Pokemon games come out on next generation Handhelds.

    • Streak said:

      Sounds exciting!
      It sounds strange that they’d say ‘at least 1 brand new pokemon’, though.

    • tirachii said:

      I think it should be a ds game because you can play it when your on the go and because pokemon is meant to be portable.

    • pokefin said:

      a new game and heart gold and ss ar not out ihpe they make a mix bweetween ditto and munchlax called muncho

    • Ralphie said:

      i like the ds as a pokemon game consloe because i hear Heart gold is going to be a good game and good graphics.i didn’t forget about soul silver

      Please respond

    • minsu said:

      awesome!!

    • Tom said:

      Pokemon main series games, have always been handheld console games, and so I believe they should always remain handheld.

    • zZTelamonZz said:

      Hmm…well we will see Feb 15th for the new pokemon to be in pokemon movie 13, but it might just be a remake of Ruby and Sapphire with a new form pokemon in it. Anyways ya lets hope that it’s the 5th generation!!!! :D

    • Josh said:

      I see that is the johto region :D Remake, maybe?

    • Torchic1 said:

      I think that it should have another 150 pokemon because, as you probably agree we’ve had more or less the same pokemon for three years!

    • rurug15 said:

      i love pokemon and
      it will be cool to have the new game in the
      nintendo DSi ……

    • don kunga said:

      cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

    • Pearce said:

      ur sure this isnt da new ranger game?

    • chatbak said:

      sounds great

    • tsume said:

      sounds cool. i would rather have a 3-D rpg for the wii, than another ds game. it would be so cool to flick the wiimote and throw a pokeball.

    • Shane said:

      Awesome I like RPGS and Pokemon! the best combo :D

    • ross said:

      i think that this is exciting news, but what is ment by ‘ recreate the game from the ground up’?

    • Azzy said:

      This is exciting news indeed! I’m looking forward to seeing what they have in store for us!
      Having said that, I do think it would be best if the next Pokémon RPG was released for the Wii. I think a sprite-based overworld and battle sequences like those of Pokémon Battle Revolution would be very clever.
      But if it must be DS, I’m not complaining. This is still awesome news.

    • Milo said:

      OMG! I am so excited can’t wait!

    • chimchar said:

      pokemon ranger tracks of light will be cool. u can even ride on the 3 legandary dogs

    • Heaven said:

      Let it be for th Ds and Wii. That makes an idea. Two different ineractable games, for two different systems. It would be like Diamond and Pearl for the Ds, revamped into a Platnium style for the Wii I suppose.

    • poképoké said:

      Cool
      dnjighfai

    • TYRANITAR rocks said:

      a wii game theyre already comin ut with okemon heart gold and soul silver for the ds this year in usa

    • zain said:

      I’m seriously gonna have to buy a new NINTENDO DS

    • Phantom Champion Z said:

      Cant wait all will be revealed on pokemon sunday (japan) on the 14th of febuary, how ironic :) .

      New movie details will be given for the 13th film as well, next week.

    • devilock said:

      hopefully the game is adventurous like in the anime….3D graphics? its a must….it would be really cool if we give command to the pokemon using the mic! do u guys hear me? using your mics to give command to your pokemon ! so the pokemon can dodge an attack and we invent our own skill like ash did in the anime…..im desperate to have a pokemon battle like in the anime…hopefully all these things are in the new game ! cant wait! peace

    • devilock said:

      and in addition i would like if all the pokemon can be seen like u know in the pokemon ranger, i want all the region to be in this new game! argh…cant sleep thinking about it

    • chimchar said:

      its on DS and its called pokemon ranger: tracks of light

    • chad said:

      this article is incorrect there was another time where a new generation began on the same console as an older one. In the advanced days Pokemon red rescue team and Pokemon xd gale of darkness both had munchlax and bonsly come out before the rest of the 4th generation.so I think it will just be something new like mystery dungeon or ranger. I wouldn’t get too exited.

    • Taiolu said:

      @Heaven

      Final Fantasy:Crystal Chronicles:Echos of Time.

      Are you sure you want that to happen again?

    • charly said:

      yo se k pokemon soul silver lla salio pero una 5 generasion genial soy jugador pokemon desde los 6 años otra abentura me parese genial en cuanto salga lo compro att:charly id 41118

    • devilock said:

      cant wait

    • ben said:

      awesome!
      join http://www.pokemonfrontier10.webs.com

    • delibird13 said:

      i love the idea, can’t wait …now i just need to get me a ds all i have right now is a gba sp hopefully i can get one before heart gold and soulsilver come out,

    • DoctorWho1998 said:

      Wow I really can’t wait to start meeting some completely new pokemon!

    • Gemma said:

      I also would love the next generation RPG to be on the Wii. We have seen showcases of graphics and gameplay from the likes of Battle Revolution, PokePark Wii and even Rumble – if the team were to gather all they have learned from these games and put it together, the results could well be mindblowing!

      And they can’t really play the interconnectivity card any more, since the Wii is as equally online accessible as the DS.

    • Daniel said:

      I very much doubt that you will be able to comand with your mic. SORRY! But if it is a ranger game I can’t wait.

      P.S: dreem on “chimchar”, how are you ment to know that?!

    • Ben said:

      lets not argue guys, we all know that kyogre is the best pokemon ever and the new pokemon will probably be in heartgold or soulsilver

    • Goldenrod said:

      Ben stop advertising. It’s annoying.

    • ash said:

      cool i cant wait.i think they will combine all the four regions in this game

    • andrew said:

      that’s all well and good, but an rpg release on a home consle would be better

    • wierdy said:

      Wow. You guys honestly think this is generation 5? When they’re saying there’ll only be one more pokemon? If that’s the case, why even have a generation 5? I mean, If they had said, ‘at least 100′ or ‘at least 50′ then I’d be cheering on with you. But ‘at least 1′?! That’s just dissappointing.

    • wierdy said:

      That being said, if it weren’t a totally new game and were a remake of Hoenn I’d be SOOO happy! The first pokemon game I ever got was Rubie version, so if they made a new version of that AND put a brand new pokemon in it, I’d be the first one to even RESERVE it! (In America, of course. I’m not so obsessed that I’d go to Japan.) But if this is supposed to be a whole new generation, then it sucks.

    • Aura girl said:

      AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Crox said:

      I can`t wait

    • happyvulpix said:

      i say: HUZZA!!! but i think they should stop at 5th gen create some new forms and redo crystal emerald ruby ect. ect. and then im good they should make more good pkmn games for wii like pikachus adventure thingo and also summor ranger , explorers and random fun such as pkmn snap and tha 1 were you play it like connct 4 ^_^ that would be good hehe

    • fizart said:

      i went on serebii.net and it showed a pic of the silouete (did i spell it right?) of a 5th gen pokemon looks like a wolf maybe mighteyena evolution or lucario (dout lucario though)

    • luxtay said:

      I want new games for GBA!

    • ss said:

      hi guys haven’t visited in aaaggggeeesss!! :D this looks awesome ^^

    • thundapunch said:

      I think they should stick with the NDS for a while, besides hopefully they’ll make DPP and -the upcoming- HeartGold & SoulSilver compatible with it. I hope it’s just a really expansive ultimate Pokemon game with all the current regions and maybe a fist full of new moves and some new pokemon evolutions just to make it interesting. But yeah, the pokemon silhoette looks like it could definetely be an evolution of Mightyena or Lucario. XD Who knows, one of them evolves into it through Moon Stone! lololol

    • devilock said:

      i gotta feeling that its going to be the pokemon ranger tracks of light…..i think it will comes out as soon as the movie phantom z is release

    • pokemaster said:

      i think it would be great for wii, but better for ds(i) because just think, its called POCKET monsters, and what do ya know, the ds fits in you pocket.

      also the game could just be one of them serebii and those websites are talking about.

    • HawkEye said:

      well i think they should keep pokemon for portables and colleseum games on consoles because the wii fails. on another note they need to make a pokemon MMORPG for the PC because that would be way better than an offline portable one. and when they wanna make new places and pokemon make expansion packs.

    • Me said:

      Two pokémon is in the 13th movie and Are foxes

    • Chiz-chiller said:

      I hope they make a wii pokemon rpg i would buy it straight away, and I hope they bring a new 5th generation of games but also redo the older games eg: ruby, emerald, saphire, leafgreen etc.

    • Thomas wb said:

      Personally i would like a MMORPG of pokemon. I think it would be really great game for people to better meet one another and learn from one another.If they are going to put another game on console they need to make it like Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness was. “Great game inside out” All i know is pokemon has come a long way from Pokemon Yellow when i started. AND MORE EVENTS!!!

    • Moses said:

      I’m not too sure about this tbh, presuming that the picture you have up is from that new game, its HG&&SS. So there putting a fifth gen pokemon into HG&SS? Sounds pretty sweet to me :)

    • uno said:

      guys i think you missed the whole heads up correct me if i’m wrong but it states then the game wll have 1 new pokemon and it wil be remade from ground up it seems to me its a remake pokemon game thats what i understood

      1

    • Strct said:

      It was revealed that the “new” pokemon is Zoroark.
      You should look on Serebii.
      Personally I think it should have been a fighting type as well as
      a dark type. (It’s only pure dark)

    • Ruebes said:

      I think they should make an entire game going threw each region and starting form scratch when you get there but still have the ohters for the elite four.

    • danny said:

      cant wait i hope it will be gud like pokemon platinum

    • TJPokemaster said:

      there are two guarnteed pokemon: They are both dark types and resemeble some kind of wolves….. there names are Zorua and Zoroak. Check out this vid for more info:

      Cheers guys
      (note video aint mine)

    • Nicholas said:

      sounds cool but I’d like all of the pokemon to be new.in fact. stuff those stupid evil teams…and what the hell have those good for nothing profs. done… NOTHiNG!!! excluding being a HUGE pain in the arse!
      I would like a completely new version of hoenn.think about it…how awesome would it be if say TROPIUS got huge and ninja or latias and latios had evolutions…
      hoenn could be all high-tech and steven stone had created a revoultionary device that had made hoenn rich and those good for nothing proffessors got their much needed fund money and actually put some effort into their research and discovered loads of new pokemon. there would be enough money to create cruise ships and that would allow you to cross the ocean to other regions. which would also have new pokemon too!
      I’d like to actually be able to customize my trainer instead of that retard!!!

    • RyanM692 said:

      I Want It To Be On DS

    • gligar man said:

      i really hope it is for the wii

    • WarriorCat Hawky said:

      I know what they are called but i don’t wanna ruin the secret… (you should know the names of the new games by now =P)

    • harry said:

      isnt it just heartgold and soulsilver? looks like joto to me

    • Riolu Lover said:

      i have heard a lot of people calling zorua ugly when its damn well cute and the same goes with riolu ( i dont call myself riolu lover for a laugh you know!)and another thing give us a new region im sick and tired of sinnoh dimond,pearl and platinum are exellent games and all but i want to explore new places and the person who had the idea of a custimisable trainer is a genius!!

    • Lauren said:

      I hope that this new game will have the power to make your own character including hair, eyes and even clothes! And to make things better it would be cool if you could go to the all the reigons!

    • pokepal said:

      i hope that you can make your own character :)

    • Jaxon said:

      If they are going to do one on Wii I think that it needs to be like Pokemon World where you start from Kanto region and move your way through all the regions

    • lucas said:

      i just cant wait till soulsilver comes out but its to dear to pre order now at 39.99 WHAT i thought when i walked in when platinum at toys are us it was only 24.99 does anybody know were i could find it cheaper

    • mitchell said:

      isn’t it pokemon heartgold and soulsilver
      soz for people that didn’t know

    • PeiN said:

      Well i doubt it ll have char customization but itll be cool i guess
      About the Wii part ..Nahh ds is a lot better cuz you can take them anywhere plus if u want wii graphics on ds they just have to copy the graphics of spectrobes portals xD

    • chimmy said:

      I like new pokemon.

    • tia cruttenden said:

      I think it is 5 new pokemon!legenderys there names are latios,latias,raikou,entei and swecone.

    • pokemon fan34 said:

      cooooooooooooooooooooooool hope it comes out soon

    • Lugia371 said:

      i think it should be on the wii because it has better graphics and you should be able to customize your characters clothes and there should be new moves too and about new pokemon i think they will be like other pokemon fused together :D :D :D

    • Eevee said:

      Nintendo should bring out a new handheld and release the games on that. But it’d be hard to improve on the DS…
      It shouldn’t be on the Wii though. A pokemon RPG HAS TO BE on a handheld.

    • pokefan said:

      i think a pokemon game with all the regions on it

    • pokeboy said:

      I think it is actually better to use ds because i prefere the graphics and can’t be bothered to set up the wii.

      I think they can guartee at least three new pokemon… the starters… and maybe zorua and zoroark… but they might be starters if there is a further eveloution.

    • pokemon fan34 said:

      i know what riegon it is

    • rurug15 said:

      what reagon is it?
      please tell me…

      MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
      MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
      MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNMMMMMMMM

    • pokemon super fan said:

      yeh, I want there to be an pokemon RPG too for the WII me and my friends have been discussing how it might work we came up with an idea with was..
      you hold the WII remote horizontally and use the arrow keys to move around just like on the DS.
      2 is A
      B is B
      + is to open up the main menu.
      and in a battle you hold the remote the normal way and select your move like pokemon battle revolution.

    • superburt120 said:

      I think that now with the 3ds coming out it will go like this: well gold and silver were released for the gbc but could be played on the gb, crystal however could only be played on the gbc, so i think that when the 2 main games of the 5th gen are released you will be able to play them on the ds and the 3ds, and the third game will only be on the 3ds

    • Emily. said:

      COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! Zoroark and Zorua will probally be in this!!

    • paulius said:

      I think its going to be the best game ever created on the DS.I hope Zurua and Zoroark will be in it.

    • Emily super fan! said:

      HI! This is Emily super Fan. My grade is 4 and I have every game of Pokemon.Well not all the games. I dont have,LeafGreen,Ruby,Emerald,and soulsilver.I am a girl and When BlackAndWhite come out I will have it. In my heartGold I have,Typloshion,Latias,Riako,

    • Linnea Defiore said:

      Hello I just now finished reading through your blog and I am rather impressed. I actually do have some questions for you though. Are you thinking about performing a follow-up posting about this? Are you going to keep posting as well? Furthermore if you obtain an opportunity will you rate my personal Rappelz guild web site if you have an opportunity?
