Yeah, but did those have their own logos up and everything? The logos are what makes me think that might be something to it this time.

oh I know all that it's just funny how many trademarks they've had just to have

i mean i'm sure it's good business to make sure you have a trademark but it looks real funny 20 years later seeing all these unused names

ib4 no character customization in Gen 7, because Game Freak won't let us keep nice things.

Because as we all know, France is the only place where people change outfits.

I believe they actually said it won't be featuring in other generations to give people a reason to play the older games.

I mean, they can't just keep leaving in improvements. They would just serve to make the newer games better than the older games!

i like some games having there own identity and tbh character customization, while cute, isn't something i find necessary to oh who am i kidding i spent like 2 hours making an outfit once i want it in every game

The NX hasn't even been announced to the public and Pokemon games are typically released the same year they're announced nowadays. I'm pretty confident that if this does mean Gen 7, it will be on the 3DS. Both Gen 4 and Gen 5 were on the DS, after all. Maybe with some optional n3DS features like Gen 5 had really minor DSi exclusive features.

I'd think it would be 3DS with n3DS features if played on one, like Smash. Nintendo wouldn't restrict the install base for it's second best selling franchise unless for a new handheld.

Yeah just like how the four gen V games were technically DSi games but still playable on a regular DS, just with some (unimportant) DSi features inaccessible.

New main Pokemon games will never be on Nintendo's main consoles, they'll always be on the 3DS or 3DS2 eventually or w/e

Couple of extra buttons, the c-stick nub and a faster processor.

It's got more juice. Smash loads faster and doesn't hog the whole system on a n3DS, for example.

Pokemon could finally have a stable framerate on the new 3DS!

Gen 6 could definitely benefit from the n3DS's faster processor in battle, so I would be 100% ok with Gen 7 using it.

In addition to Nintendo knowing Pokemon sells handhelds, Game Freak has also said they want to keep the mainline games to handhelds to promote connectivity.

Frankly, I think longer RPGs just work better on handhelds. Sure, you lose graphics, but being able to pick it up on the fly and do a little at a time rather than camp out in your living room for hours on end was always more appealing to me.

It's kind of weird for them to be announcing something on a day that that they release their products (Friday). What if Pokemon Z is DLC for X and Y that drops tomorrow (since they felt so unfinished), and Pokemon Sun/Moon come out later in the year?

Just hopes and dreams.

I really wish there would be a way to play it on the big screen, though. The older I get, the worse my eyes are and the more irritating staring at a small screen is.

Hopefully in Gen 7/8 or whatever coincides with the NX they'll make a way to have the new new new 3DS show up on the TV screen.

For the most part this is true, the 3ds mario and luigi RPGs have a lot of button mashing that a flat surface makes easier, paper jam takes this to an extreme degree because now you need to do this across 3 buttons so you need a table (I'm not playing paper jam anymore)

As far as I can tell Nintendo really did register these trademarks, logos and all. But if you want to be skeptical (I always try to be about leaks), you can say it doesn't actually mean anything and they might just reveal Z tomorrow anyway. These could be for future use, or some weird spinoffs, or absolutely nothing.

Sounds like you're just playing it weirdly, I never needed a table for those games and this is the first time I've ever heard that complaint.
