TV Tokyo has posted the summary for the episode of Pokémon Smash, a variety show that covers all aspects of the franchise, due to air next week on Sunday 18th of September. In this summary, it mentions that Pokémon Game Creator, Junichi Masuda is set to appear on the show with a massive shock announcement.While it is possible that the announcement could be unrelated to a new game such as the reveal of Keldeo or the other new Pokémon, his announcements in the past similar to this have ended up being new games. This follows on from Pokémon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara hinting that there are more surprises coming this year. If it is a game announcement, it's possible that the reveal of this game will be in CoroCoro, which is due any day now and/or in Nintendo's special 3DS conference in Japan on Tuesday morning. We'll bring more on this, including confirmation on the announcement as and when it comes.TVToky

This sounds really interesting. Masuda has never announced a spin off game before, and he only takes the stage to announce mainline Pokemon games (such as HeartGold/SoulSilver and Black/White). Are we looking at an announcement of a possible Pokemon Grey? Maybe Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire remakes? Or maybe, even better, the sixth generation of Pokemon?

Whatever it is, a new mainline Pokemon game, in addition to Monster Hunter, Mario Kart and Super Mario will make the 3DS an unstoppable force.

Question is, it's it's for the 3ds, how will they be able to get it to communicate with past pokemon games?

Well, the 3DS can communicate fully with the DS and all its games wirelessly. Maybe it'll be like how Pokemon Gold/Silver communicated with Pokemon Red/Blue.

Pokemon Gray as a 3DS exclusive, announced at the September 15th conference. Calling it now.

I hope its Ruby/Sapphire remakes because I like playing games I've already played before.

A new mmo would be nice too.

Yes, and they communicated with Red/Blue by simple link cable trading. Maybe the new 3DS Pokemon games will communicate with the DS Pokemon games by wirelessly hooking up to them. Being on different systems will have nothing to do with anything.

Crystal couldn't and I think that could still link to the Kanto (Red/Blue/Green/Yellow).

The point is, they're trying to sell their new handheld. The 3DS is already struggling, they NEED to give people reasons to buy the system over the original DS (especially since the DS has such a massive library and the 3DS does not). A Pokemon on the 3DS would sell insanely. I mean, if one went by the logic you are propounding in your post, then Sony would have made God of War III for the PS2, Microsoft would have made Halo 3 for the Xbox, and no new system would ever have succeeded.

Game Freak basically confirmed the main series will always be on Handhelds in the foreseeable future.

Sugimori stated, "I am interested in strong visual effects. However, I believe that Pokémon is most appropriate for portable consoles."

Masuda then chimed in, "I'm really not thinking about having the main Pokémon games on the Wii, because using portable consoles means you can always carry Pokémon around with you and you can play with other players, so that's the future I'd like to emphasize."

Game Freak

That is where the quote is from.

You're right, it isn't. However, along with Mario, Mario Kart, Layton, Monster Hunter, Super Smash Bros and Dragon Quest, it will propel 3DS sales into high gear. Pokemon is the most major piece of that puzzle, it's the premier handheld game franchise.

Ooooh snap.

Pokemon is the 2nd best selling video game franchise with 200+ million copies sold world-wide.

If that isn't a system seller, I don't know what is.

It will be Pokemon Gray in North America and Pokemon Grey in the UK.

Although it is acceptable to call it Grey in North America.

Ooooh snap.

Pokemon is the 2nd best selling video game franchise with 200+ million copies sold world-wide.

If that isn't a system seller, I don't know what is.

But the kids relate more to the cute lil critters than a sweaty italian plumber :P

Pokemon does good numbers on any handheld system but come on.... This franchise is not the saving grace for the 3DS.

Name one other handheld franchise that sells as much world wide... Oh wait, you can't

Pokemon's system selling record is literally the best in the world. Franchises like Mario and Final Fantasy have appeared on systems that went on to fail- NO SYSTEM that Pokemon ever appeared on failed, they were all runaway successes. Pokemon is Nintendo's biggest asset.

Handheld franchise? Pokemon isn't exclusive to handhelds and you're right about it being a killer seller, but it still can't save the 3DS.
