Gen 9 all things considered wasn’t really that bad of a game beyond performance

also they basically have the groundwork already with how AZ was presented

This announcement came out of left field though

Everyone was anticipating gen 2 and 5

if everyone is expecting something

the most interesting thing is to give them something else

yeah but it’s not like they just decided in the last month “quick they want 2 and 5 make a gen 6 legends game”

or since November when Indigo Disk released

But honesty at least I didn’t need to see the ILCA logo next to the gen 5 box art

I get to live another day

This has the potential to scratch an itch I have, I love games where you go out and get materials to build up a city or something

Jubilife village slowly building more over the course of legends and updating the music was really cool to me, I want more like that

I assume the game will be more medieval tech, which is perfect

I just hope the natural progression of these games is eventually making them full open world instead of different area’s separated by a travel map

But I expect if they keep making legends games that’s a 5th game thing

From that information it sounds like it’s open world but just in Lumiose

At the rate game freak innovates I don’t expect much

Well isn’t that how it worked in legends arceus

You could walk around town then the different areas

tbf, its gonna take an entire year, so im half expecting a legends arceus type game

I mean

Just lumiose

No other parts of kalos

Hmmm

A new adventure waits WITHIN Lumiose city

with that date, rather than this holiday

Not within the kalos region

I assume it's a Switch 2 launch title

I’d assume they’d have some outside parts since its Legends Z for Zygarde

that’s rumored for March Spooky

Who chills in that cave in the east

this is 2025

Yes

so, my guess is it'll be alongside Switch 2

I doubt switch 2 will come out this year let alone march

That’s the March I ment

^

Switch 2 got delayed to March 2025

I don’t think it’s on the next gen

everything is cross gen

I at the very least think it’d be playable on both

I mean so do I yes

But I do hope it’d be optimized for it, yeah

but would it not be like how it was for the 3ds

How a ds game could be played on 3ds but not vice Verda

versa

The assumption with the delay is Nintendo wants 2-3 "big" games to launch alongside it

or am I just a tech boomer thinking that’s a limitation still

1 Pokemon, probably 1 Mario, and something else

Assuming the only reason for that was because the 3d effect prevented cross play

Yeah its likely that’d be the case

I just think they’d be stupid not to capitalize on the millions of switches already out there if they didn’t need the switch 2’s hardware. (If it does though, we’re in for a banger, hopefully)

It’s got the switch one logo on it

If it was meant for switch two I don’t see why they wouldn’t just wait to announce it when the switch 2 got announced

I do not think there will ever be a "switch 2 exclusive" game

imo

If it is a switch 2 launch title and the switch 2 doesn't look complete dog water, i'll consider

Gen 10 will be the launch title

I’m hopeful

no way we get a gen 10 Pokémon game in March

do you think Legends will get pushed to December 2025 then Loveland?

I think this is Jan 2025

Eh… I just think the switch 2 will get pushed back again, tbh. Lol

I think there’s also a 2024 November title in development too for the record

I say again as if its confirmed it even exists

Its all but confirmed but the fact it isn’t makes me wonder if it’ll still be a while

internal data got leaked

PMD explorers dx pleasepleasepleaseeeee

It was supposed to be fall 2024 iirc

Oh

oh shit

Well ignore me then

Maybe that’s why nothing was announced today for this year

Because it got pushed

it's not a leak, Nintendo basically committed to March 2025 in their public invenstor call

said the delay to FY25 was due to wanting more games ready for launch

Breath of the wild remaster

Bold prediction

Smash super duper ultimate
