-Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald map level editor

Ok, that really has my attention. The Romhack community would do wonders with an easily accessible map editor.

-Netflix Live action Pokemon series which was suppose to release this year but still in the works, expected to have 5 seasons

Is this Pokemon Concierge? Or is it something else?

-Gen 10 Pokemon will be on both Switch and its successor

Would Nintendo allow this? Pokemon games are always system sellers, would they kill part of that momentum for extra software sales? Also, GameFreak is already overtaxed with the Switch alone, would making a multiplat like that be even more work?

The Romhack community is gonna be eating with the map editor and the source codes.

Not Pokemon Concierge, Concierge isnt even live action, its a stop motion animation so this is completely different.

Its probably GameFreak's decision. They tend to release games on a previous gen even after a new platform came out.

i.e....

Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon coming out Nov 2017 on 3DS while the Switch had been out since March 2017.

Pokemon Black and White 2 releasing on Nintendo DS in 2012 while the Nintendo 3DS had been out since 2011.

Pokemon Emerald releasing on GBA in September 2004 while the Nintendo DS released November 2004.

Pokemon Crystal released on Game Boy Color in December 2000 while the Game Boy Advance released in March 2001.

So in this case, it would have been exclusive to Switch (though playable through b/c) or split between two platforms. I mean this makes sense since one of the rumors states that BotW might get remastered or remade for the next nintendo system.

Nothing of particular note, it seems, but I'm worried The Pokemon Co. and ILCA are still working together after the DP ""remakes"" were a thing.

But the examples you've cited doesn't prove they intend to do a cross gen release for Gen 10. All we know from the code, is that they've tested versions of the game on the OG Switch. Kinda similar to the Pokemon Stars thing where they worked on a test version Pokemon Sun/Moon on the Switch, but that never got released because it wasn't intended as such. 

I believe it to be the same here, except the Switch 1 is too limited most likely and would amper anything they could try on the Switch 2 hardware.

No but they showcase that GameFreak is slow to jumping into a new platform generation and is willing to release a new Pokemon game on a platform that is already outdated by its successor.

Z-A could be the last Switch Pokemon game but we'll know for sure if Nintendo does cross gen or not.

The Zelda BotW could have been a test demo like you mentioned about Stars instead of cross gen too.

Anyways massive info for movie 24

Spoiler!

More information about movie 24:

- The original plot of dealing with bullying was scrapped as the executives thought it was too much.

- Light (the protagonist) is a young trainer who dislikes the idea of putting Pokémon in Poké Balls, over the movie he gets to "enjoy" being a trainer and discover it can be a good thing.

- Only the original 151 Pokémon were planned to be in the movie

Plot Summary (SPOILERS OF AN EARLY VERSION OF THE PLOT) The story begins seven years in the past with a dramatic confrontation at a hydroelectric power plant between two trainers, Shin and Gil, and their Pokémon—Blastoise and Charizard. In the midst of their fierce battle, the mythical Pokémon Mew appears. As the fight intensifies, the area is destroyed by Mew’s psychic power, leading to a tragic flood. During the chaos, Jiji, a kind-hearted trainer who has a deep connection with Mew, is seemingly killed while trying to protect Mew.

Fast forward to the present, Light, a 15-year-old boy living in the Kanto region, works at a Pokémon daycare owned by his grandfather. Light has an extraordinary ability to understand Pokémon’s personalities and needs. Among the Pokémon in his care is a particularly chubby Pikachu, whom Light affectionately calls Ponch Pikachu. Ponch Pikachu was left at the daycare years ago by a trainer who promised to return but never did.

Light soon becomes curious about Ponch Pikachu’s past and, through some sleuthing on social media, discovers a clue—a silk scarf worn by the Pikachu’s previous trainer. This leads him to Sicon City, a bustling metropolis where a major event called the Kanto Fest is about to take place. Determined to reunite Ponch Pikachu with its trainer, Light embarks on a journey to the city.

As the story progresses, Light learns that the trainer who left Ponch Pikachu is none other than Jiji, who is believed to have died in the flood seven years ago. However, there are hints that Jiji might still be alive, which drives Light and his new friend Akari, Jiji’s sister, to search for him.

As they delve deeper into the mystery, they cross paths with Gil, who has been imprisoned for his involvement in the destruction of the hydroelectric plant. Gil reveals the tragic truth behind the events of seven years ago, explaining that Mew went on a rampage after seeing Jiji get injured, leading to the disaster

The story culminates in a climactic showdown in Sicon City, where Mew, in disguise as Ponch Pikachu, reveals its true form. Shin, now a troubled and driven man, attempts to capture Mew to fulfill an old promise between him, Jiji, and Gil. However, Mew’s immense power threatens to destroy the city once again. Light, with the help of Akari, Gil, and Shin, works to calm Mew and prevent another catastrophe.

The movie ends with Light finally understanding the true meaning of being a Pokémon Trainer, as he promises to take care of Mew, now restored to its Pikachu form, and embarks on a new journey of his own.

Post-Credit Tease In a post-credit scene, the camera pans to a distant part of the Kanto region. In a hidden forest clearing, the legendary Pokémon Mewtwo watches the events from afar. It smirks, its eyes glowing with an ominous light. The screen fades to black, leaving a sense of impending adventure and the suggestion of Mewtwo’s potential return.

I'm sure the movie could be interesting but um....we do not need more Gen Wun pandering. Want to aim at lapsed fans, IDK, tell a older aimed story. We don't need Old Man Ash, no one needs Old Man Ash /Logan, but somewhere between there.



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

This actually what I believe too. They could re-release it for a 10th year anniversary sake in 2027, but I'm not expecting them to actually do it because they likely have other projects to focus on + I'd think a re-release should warrant more changes than just an fps and resolution increase to be a valid one.

Maybe there's a way to upgrade like Sony does with it's remasters from last gen. 10 bucks wouldn't be too hard of an ask.

Also that Pokemon movie scripts sound quite the thing ... But you know considering it has been in development hell for a while, an eventual final product would likely be different than this script.

Surprised next Legends game is already done. I was thinking it would maybe be a cross gen game coming out next summer, being the Switch's final big game. But if it's already done and only on Switch it's bizarre they aren't releasing it as the big holiday title for Switch and instead Nintendo just has no big holiday title.

Hoping Game Freak realized they need a longer dev cycle now making 3D console games instead of 2D handheld games and the next Pokemon gen gets released for holiday 2026 instead of 2025, especially with Legends coming out next year it'd be real dumb to repeat 2022 where they released Legends and then later in the year gen 9.

There's nothing about Ash though.

A Pokemon anime movie often stars Ash, and it is a logical reference to put there as a substitution for the similarly famous Logan/Wolverine. Using the name of the script protagonist wouldn't work to lampshade what we don't need as a older aimed movie. 

'Pokemon Reign' doesn't quite have the same ring to it, nor does Ash have radioactive semen to give his love interest cancer with, for another edgy what-if future story comparison.

Nintendo charging $10 for upgrades!? lol

I've been wondering when we'll see another Pokemon movie and had a feeling it wouldnt include any previous characters.

I'm....not sure what you are talking about. I get the Logan/Wolverine and Spider-man references but have no idea what that has to do with Pokemon or Ash.

The new movie that they are making is based upon new characters just like what they did with the anime, Pokemon Horizons, which has a new cast of characters that have no relationship to any of the characters in the previous pokemon anime.

If you are talking about how dark it is? Its nothing new, TPC had made Pokemon dark before with the manga - https://gamerant.com/pokemon-manga-disturbing-moments/

And even if Gamefreak doesnt make the games darker, the pokedex entries showcase a dark side of some of the pokemon in some of the games.

Anyways if they do bring Ash back, he's likely going to be the same 10 year old since the creators of the Pokemon anime series dont like to age their characters.
