Hmm, judging by the names alone those might actually be Gen 7 games.

What would be the third title, then? Rooting for Pokemon ISS.

Which makes all the extra Zygarde forms they introduced in the anime and spinoff games like Tretta all the weirder, if he isn't going to be a version mascot after all.

I don't see how it's confusing: It's Pokemon Zun and Pokemon Zoon. The setting is the Pokemon version of Mexico and you are on the run from the Aztec deity pokemons with your baby Zygarde who then grows to become a fearless monster that can go head to head against those two Aztec mons. Or so my uncle at Game Freak told me.

What if the two Zygarde cores aren't red and blue because of Xerneas and Yveltal, but because of Red Sun and Blue Moon? There's your connection

It's been so long without Z and we're seeing what is likely to be a Gen 7 reveal already...I'm wondering if they just decided to skip Z altogether.

That would be kind of disappointing because the only thing X and Y really lacked was a solid ingame endgame, and usually their third release of the same gen focuses a lot more on that stuff since the core game is already done.

I'm pretty sure that they trademark a whole bunch of poo poo that they won't necessarily use...

Then again, Magearna and Pokemon Direct...

Eh, I'm just slightly less sure than the rest of you.

They made logos for them and none of those old placeholder trademarks they did in the past ever got logos. (I think, i've never seen any anyway)

That being said, it would be hilarious if this was an elaborate troll.

While it's possible this will never make it past the logo phase, it just seems too similar to their usual Red and Blue theme to not be legit.

Raichu's design is so much better. Even as a kid I thought Pikachu looked stupid :(

The name doesn't matter, people pick a version based on the mascot and version exclusives. So we have to wait and see what those are first.

Yeah, spring or late winter with a October release same year is how it's been since Nintendo started their policy of not announcing games super early after Brawl.

After all the Zygarde advertising, they absolutely need to put out a Z, like you said. Still, releasing it this close to Gen VII would probably be a mistake. Sun and Moon are probably mid-to-late 2017 at the earliest.
