If this is true, and not just an April Fool's Joke, I'm going to get this. The ability to catch Ho-oh, Lugia and the three gem Pokemon? I'm there! Voice commands sound rad, and a new story is always welcome.

[TV Eye]

Yeah, April Fool's Day has a history of pissing people off. I hope this is true, 3D Pokemon? Of course I'd buy it.

[The Qu]

I'll kinda miss the sprites to be honest. I like 2D on my handhelds better, but thats just me. I'd have to see them before I pass judgement, tho, as Phantom Hourglass had great graphics.
On a side note, I hope that boxart is a mockup because it's bad.
Plus, it doesn't seem likely it would be released that fast, would it? Especially in all three major regions. On the flip side, Cammie Dunaway is VP of Sales & Marketing at Nintendo, so they didn't use the faceless generic if it is fake.

[Game Guru]

I've been waiting for the third game.

[Flip]

....it's not on Serebii. Of course it's an April Fool's joke.

[missingno.is back?]

Never trust any announcements on April 1st at all whatsoever.

The actual game might as well show Origin Form Giratina (the form of Giratina that will debut in the 11th movie) on its boxart.

Yeah, that was really random when that was announced. It's been like.. two months. Where's the news? o.o;;

If they made the Gold and Silver remake that would be the first Pokemon game I'd buy since.... wow, Stadium 2/ the Pokemon Mini and two of its games. Silver was my favorite Game Boy game, I want to see it again. Make Kanto worth playing through past the cruise part, not like "Gym Leader retired, have a free badge". To be able to play online... and use Lugia, my favorite PKMN, once more....

Ah man, that needs to happen. Waiting for the Dawn Silver to become a reality.

[Goomba Joe]

My absolute dream Pokemon game would be a full-blown, epic, huge, 3D remake of Gold/Silver on the Wii...but yeah, say no to that.

I'd give anything for ANY kind of GS remake...I love that gen to death.

I think I said this in my game ideas thread and this is stuff I have in my write-up for Sun and Moon Versions, but I am dying to see them a MMO Pokemon game. My vision was still on the DS and done over Wi-Fi with your friends able to run into each other on the map. Basically you can play the game per normal but you are constantly on Wi-Fi. So anywhere your friends are in their copy of the game they appear in realtime on yours. You can talk to each other on the map, do battle in the wild, become a "party" and do constant double battles, tackle a "Double Elite Four" and "Double Gyms," and go to Pokecenters to trade and do all the normal Pokecenter stuff. You can also take your Pokemon to the daycare and have them bred together and fight over the egg or pick up more friends to tackle mini-games and the like. I just want a freakin' MMO Pokemon, and this is the simplest and most feasible way of doing it.

Apperently, Coro Coro is unveiling a new game in their next issue on May 15.

Its got two new Pokemon, codenamed Pokemon A & B. These might be different forms of Shaymin and Regigigas tho.

[Koopaul]

That's how they get away with "new" Pokemon for now, give 'em alternate forms.
