Seems we have a few options for new pokémon game releases during the next two years:
1) no new game in 2024, PLZ-A in early 2025, Gen 10 in late 2025
2) no new game in 2024, PLZ-A in early 2025, filler game (DLC or Johto remakes) in late 2025, Gen 10 in late 2026
3) no new game in 2024, PLZ-A in late 2025, Gen 10 in late 2026
4) filler game in late 2024, PLZ-A in early 2025, Gen 10 in late 2025
5) filler game in late 2024, PLZ-A in late 2025, Gen 10 in late 2026
Which option do you think we're getting?
>implying GF is dumb enough to think a legend game can carry an entire year by itself
So you're picking option 4?
Imagine the development hell if they actually release three games within two years and without handling one of them to ILCA
Unless they change the formula YES IT CAN.
The game might produce new designs for Pokèmon, new characters and maybe introduce different approach to the gameplay as it did in its previous iteration.
They did this with ORAS which was a fricking remake and had less material than a Legends game which instead is a re-elaboration of already existing content but in a new key.
Ironically (for you) LEGENDS has more new content than a remake.
>i no liek it so nowun duz
Legends was best-received pokémon release in fricking years dipshit. The only reason Arceus didn't get a year was they needed to tell kids the story of sinnoh and needed to launch gen 9. I don't know if you can truly understand extrapolations from data, but had that launched christmas, it'd have made at least equal sales to DPPt, such was its reception from a January release, scuttled by SV's announcement for November.
A Legends game can have paid DLC expansion too, you know
It feels like no new game this year, but until late June (when it gets too late to reveal it for a christmas launch), it's up in the air. This confirms Gen 10 2026 though. If they had it '25, they'd have announced L: Z-A as "early '25" to allow themselves time to launch it and reset to launch Gen 10 later that year.
And because you're being fricktarded with your options
>Schroedinger's game (a game release/no game release) christmas '24
>Legends - christmas '25
>Gen 10 - christmas '26
>Legends - christmas '25
this is not fricking happening, they're gonna drop it in january exactly like last time or they wouldn't have announced it so goddamn early.
>Legends - christmas '25
I'm not a patterngay, but this is just too moronic to be ignored. Everyone knows if GF announced a game in early [insert year here], that game will be released exactly 1 year later. Meds
>This confirms Gen 10 2026 though
See PLA and SV
either 1 or 4, depending on whether or not there's still an ILCA game to announce
>back to back remake games, in the same year
This wouldn't happen, not only it just unfeasible to expect this but GF is sick of remakes and wary of the endless remake loop it will create. They are sick of everybody asking for them too. Hence why legends exists. BDSP was made soley because they were aware a certain demographic would get upset if they didn't get their traditional remake. I even feel this is why they made it Gen 6 instead of Gen 5 for the recent one (I mean come on, all we know so far is that it's a game about a city with themes of human pokemon harmony, this was clearly the outline of the unova/new York legends game repurposed) . There's less reason for a gen 6 remake at this time, and less people who would be angry about it. People wrongly just seemed to assume ILCA was going to be a permanent stay for remakes, like they aren't an independent company doing their own shit. You won't get one just because you expect something to release then. Point is I think we are at a turning point that might mark the death of traditional pokemon remakes, GF has shown time and time again they have no desire to cater to people's expectations.
>filler in 2024
Not happening, they would've announced it. Even if it's third party trash. There is zero reason to keep such things under wraps when they know this year will be barren for Pokemon content, and they are happy to show off literally nothing but a premise for their 2025 game.
Holiday 2024 will be covered by releasing old games on NSO. Possibly enhanced ports.
They're not putting the old games up anon. Firstly, only adults would be let play them (lol, gambling laws), secondly Nintendo doesn't share NSO revenue, which is why it's only titles they own rights to that get added. Game Freak don't give their games away for free and never will.
Game Freak re-rated the VC gen 1/2 games, they'd absolutely adhere to the new ones IF they put their old games up, which is why it won't happen. they're not going to try and argue it's kid-friendly, when they specifically coded slots in the thing as a reference to yakuza gambling houses.
Forgot image.
3:
2026 will be the year of the 30th anniversary a perfect spot for gen 10
6) PLZA in mid-late 2025,possible ILCA remake in 2026, Gen 10 in 2027
Each gen should last for at least 3 years, preferably 5.
February 27, 2026
That's the release date of gen X. You all know it.
If they make the dumb decision of not doint it, you can be sure we will get another gen 1 remake in this date.
>no new game in 2024, PLZ-A in early 2025, PLZ-A DLC in late 2025, Gen 10 in late 2026
we're getting this
ZA will be a mid year release in '25 and there'll be a DLC for '26
Pokémon Legends Z-A released on March 2025 alongside the Switch 2
