You can't take faster paced in any other context... They would have said a 'faster paced release schedule', which barely makes sense, if they'd meant quicker releases.

You could say faster paced generation life span.

I dont get all this release date and pattern stuff. They don't have to release a generation every 4 years. Heck they can even release a generation every year they wont be lynched. Though that would be unpractical.

Yes, it could be Gen 6, but it could also be something completely lacklustre in comparison. Everyone is jumping to conclusions and getting their hopes up for no reason.

Yeah, worst case scenario imo, Pokemon Conquest 2

What are you talking about? There is a reason! The reason is the BIG MAJOR news/announcement on January 8th! Why else would we be in this thread and say it could be Gen 6? Saying there is no reason... is so weird! The whole fact about January 8th is our reason and why you and me are even talking in these moments XDD

Their major could quite possibly be different than yours.

Which still doesn't make grammatical sense.

Development time, their development times has always been about the same. You could actually say it's gotten longer over the years, therefore we shouldn't expect a new generation with this announcement.

And that's entirely on you. You're blowing this up into something much bigger than it is, they never said it was a "BIG MAJOR" announcement, you did.

Of course there's reason. It is being really hyped up, not only by the fans. We don't know what it is, but all the sites in the world wouldn't be announcing that if it weren't big news. Maybe it's Gen VI, maybe it's Remakes. We don't know, but all we know is that is going to be major news

[blackarcanine123]

They might have put more work hours or hired more staff to shorter development time.

[iGotNoiPad]

Whatever it is, I am hoping this thing is worth the hype.

[P-K-M]

Um, yes they did http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/20...nd-d5qmohb.png

There are two sites that said they are announcing something. Everything else is fans.

Completely possible, but unlikely.

That says 'major'. In lowercase. That's important, there is far less emphasis than what you're putting onto it. And even so, what a company considers a major announcement is often much different from what a fan would.

[Excitable Boy]

Oh, wow! I don't see how GameFreak could pull off Gen VI by September, unless they've got multiple development teams and have been working on it since BW1's release, or something crazy like that.

And that's entirely on you. You're blowing this up into something much bigger than it is, they never said it was a "BIG MAJOR" announcement, you did.

They're not directly stating that it's big and major, but don't you think it might be somewhat implied, given how they're hyping the crap out of it? Not whatever's going to be announced, but the announcement itself.

[xXPantheraXx]

That's true, but when was the last time TWO Generations, featuring NINE Main series titles were released on the same system? This Generation was destined to be shorter when Gamefreak announced it was on the DS. Yes this may not have been there intention to begin with, but clearly they are pushing for a Main Series title to be on the 3DS, and it just doesn't make sense for that spot to be filled by Remakes. Hoenn remakes, however amazing they may be aren't going to get fans to go out and buy a 3DS.

A new Region with new pokemon and breathtaking 3D graphics however, will.

This is almost certainly Gen VI.

[Pilpulp]

I just want this announcement to come, so we can see who's right and wrong.

[Hydrohs]

Oh, wow! I don't see how GameFreak could pull off Gen VI by September, unless they've got multiple development teams and have been working on it since BW1's release, or something crazy like that.

It would have been three years from the time of B/W's release if they release it this September, which is the same as G/S and R/S had. But again, they've been taking longer with the newer hardware so I have a hard time saying it could happen for sure.

I'm just attempting, and failing, to calm people down.

And they wouldn't tell about the date to their fans if it wasn't very important to them. They're saying it for us to guess. Which is what we're doing ;b

All they're saying is that they will be announcing something on the 8th. Nothing more.

But, RS were newer hardware...?

'tsokay man

You tried.

Which could be Gen 6 or RS remakes. It could also be something else, but we have no idea and thats why we're discussing that in this Thread XD

[Ver-mont]

Oh, wow! I don't see how GameFreak could pull off Gen VI by September, unless they've got multiple development teams and have been working on it since BW1's release, or something crazy like that.

They announced BW on the very year Gen V was released, and BW were stated to have been developed alongside Platinum and HGSS. I wouldn't doubt Gen VI this year.

[Manna]

As much as I want it to be, I don't think it's remakes. I don't think that would be "big" news.

[rocky505]

I would rather them wait on Remakes until at least after the first pair of 6th gen games. Doing this would give us the possibility of more evolutions to add to the Hoenn Dex similar to how DPPT gave the Johto Dex some new Pokemon.

[charmanderandswampertguy]

all honesty i hope the announcment is a 6th gen and not a 3rd gen remake just now.

[Bariokie]

100% has the same idea *as far as i know*

[Rudruma]

Gen Six is far too early and people that say otherwise are stupid, infact I'll go on a lim and say no Gen 6 until november 2014 atthe earliest!

Dude, I ride these hype trains for the crash.
