Generation V confirmed

http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/First_Gen_V_Pok%C3%A9mon_revealed_in_Pok%C3%A9mon_Sunday And so, the journey continues. Welcome to generation V.

I was RIGHT!!! Z is a Generation 5 Pokemon!!!!

Fridge Logic: There are no more title colors.

My guess is that the new names will be Sun, Moon, and Star or something similar. Anyone else want to place a bet?

I wouldn't disregard the possibility that maybe Nintendo are going to use another gem; Amethyst and Jade are good possibilities. However Nintendo have surprised us before, so I wouldn't doubt them making something like Pokémon Solar Version either, it puts a chill down my spine to think how futuristic those games would be.

I kind of semi-wish that they release a Pokemon game similar to a folklore RPG.

And futuristic looks? It;s Japan. They sell condoms in a vending machine in front of an elementary school.
Teleportation pads? Check. Holograms? Check. Internet access using an arcade machine? Check. What's next?

And I thought Z was a reference to Porygon Z.

I guess that it is now safe to confirm that a fifth generation of Pokémon is coming up soon so I am going to sticky this. In a preview of the upcoming issue of the CoroCoro magazine on February 15th two new Pokémon have been confirmed as Zorua and Zoroark - The Evil Fox Pokémon and the Monster Fox Pokémon respectively, they are both Dark Type Pokémon.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8RUGURe3n0

These are most likely the two Pokémon promoted as ? marks in Japanese Advertisements for plushes for Pokémon in the 13th Pokémon Movie - Phantom Ruler Z. Presumably Zoroark is the 'Phantom Ruler Z'.

[Chaos Hiruko]

It was revealed when it was a silhouette that Zoroark was Z.
In fact the Movie is called Phantom Champion/Phantom Ruler/Ruler of Illusions (Many sources say different things...) Zoroark.

http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/March_2010_CoroCoro_features_new_Pok%C3%A9mon,_Ranger_game. Yeah, it is supposed to be Z. We are now at 495 (and counting) Pokemon. Sure has come a long way huh? But that's how it rolls and it keeps on trucking .

I just checked Paheal, and there is rule 34 of both of them already.

f**k you, internet. f**k you.

I actually thought that they were running out of ideas once they made the "God" of all Pokemon...
But maybe they can bring these first two (Kurusu and Honoguma) to the light? http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Unreleased_Pok%C3%A9mon_and_characters

What is rule 34?

Those two are likely beta from G/S/C.

WTF is WRONG with people?!?
Also, even if they are beta, almost all beta Pokemon became real (as shown on link). Chikorita, Girafarig, Marril, Quilfish, Hitmontop, Tyranitar come to mind. As for the turtle, it was unnamed, so I say it goes. The other two (the ones I said) I would like. A fire bear? A possible pre-evolution for Lapras? YES.

[Torchickens]

Well, some sources such as the Nintendo Power magazine claim that Shellos and Gastrodon were once planned for Ruby/Sapphire but I do not know why they were scrapped, possibly just due to technical limitations. Seeing as it is a magazine though, I wouldn't be surprised if this is a red herring.

Seeing as those two Pokémon were actually released in Diamond and Pearl we could possibly see more of the unreleased pokémon end up in the new generation, however I am not sure about Honōguma (the fire type bear) and others such as Kurusu (A seal like Pokémon) we might just see a prevolution of Seel but as for Honōguma it seems a little bit too much like Raichu. As for that unnamed turtle I think Nintendo wanted to scrap that for good, you cannot even see its legs.

If any of those prototype Pokémon appear in Generation V I would guess that they would just be majorilly redesigned. After all those Pokémon weren't included in Generation III, not even a Pokémon with a similar design to one of them.

[Naitekiakki]

I wonder if there will be any new Eeveelutions?

ACtually, there is sprites for them in the game.

What ISN'T wrong with people?

I doubt Nintendo would release a new Pokemon RPG for the DS. The games usually follow a pattern. On the GBA for example: Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald then Red and Green remakes. The DS is on course to follow the same pattern. Diamond, Pearl, Platinum then Gold and Silver remakes. If anything this is going to be for the DS2 or maybe as a DSi exclusive.
