1. Games exclusively on the 3DS.
2. Tons of legendaries. Again.
3. Evolutions or preevolutions of Unova Pokemon.
4. Using sequels instead of a third game.
5. Ghost or Dark type for #666 in the dex.

Listed in order of most likely to least likely. I think the only real stretch here is #5, but hey, it could happen.

1) This is definitely a possibility. Seeing as the 3DS has not had stellar in anything so far(except for remakes), it would need the boost.

2) Durhur duh. inb4 5

3) I'm not sure of what would need evolving.

4) Yeah, that is a good possibility as well.

5) inb4 Purity Pokemon

Also, calling a Grass/Ghost Pokemon, and a Fire/Water.

1.) So, like a female, non-obnoxious Hugh/non-douche Cheren?
2.) +1
3.) This one has been a long time coming and would probably be welcomed with open arms.

1.) Yeah. This is pretty much a given.
2.) Again, a given.
3.) With the way G5 has been marketed as the new beginning, I wouldn't be surprised if G6 is the new GSC with all its crazy pre-evos and shit.
4.) If BW2's performance and acceptance is any indicator, this seems somewhat likely.
5.) Iirc, 616 is the number of the beast. Shelmet is the devil.

>Ghost/Grass

I would enjoy this combination beyond words. Make it happen GF.

>Fire/Water

Shakey on this one. I'll just keep my Octillery.

And now for my predictions.

New Type Combos: Grass/Flying (Ice types be damned), Poison/Fire, Electric/Ice, Water/Steel, Grass/Ground

Design Inspirations (with possible types): Dolphin (Water/Psychic), Orca (Water/Dark or Water/Psychic), Dunkleosteus (Water/Ground), Tiger (Fire/Dark), Shark (Water/Steel, full size not this Sharpedo shit), a hair ball (Normal, fuck you haters), Lightbulb (Electric or Electric/Steel, possibly another man-made Pokemon), Coyote (Dark/Ground), Kachina doll (Grass/Ghost or Grass/Ground)

Possible Evos/Prevos: Prevo that splits off to Tauros/Miltank by gender, Torkoal (Prevo), Absol (adorable Prevo and badass Evo), Eevee (Normal, Steel and Poison Evos)

And Poison/Fire was done by Smogon's CAP project. Interestingly enough, it was a Fire snail, and very adorable. I don't know where I'm going with this point.

Necturna. All I have to say for a Pokemon that should be legit.

EDIT: And it is Grass/ Ghost too!

You seem to be forgetting the Jumpluff line and Tropius. Also that one Rotom form, Empoleon, and Torterra or w/e that grass starter is called.


What do I think will happen:

1) A still completely useless GTS
2) Tier 4 evolution line
3) Starters still being grass water and fire, with the fire being fire/fighting again.

(Non-Rotom) Fire/Electric would be awesome. But a Fire/Electric starter? That would be bitchin'.

I have a bad feeling about the next Gen to be honest.

I have a feeling they're going to back track on the progress they made story telling wise. Though I'd prefer the opposite.

And I also think it's probably going to be a weaker generation from a design stand point. Since some of the Unova pokemon are pretty awful from a design stand point.

Then again I'm a glass half empty kinda fella. That way I leave my self open to being pleasantly surprised.

Things I want...

Story- Push the Story aspect further than B/W/B2/W2

Trainer/Rival Builder- Not expecting a full blown character builder. But some sort of trainer build would be an awesome addition to the Pokemon series.(Plus the male Trainer in B2/W2 has stupid hair)

Pokemon design needs some work-I know it's a tall order because they'll never please every eye, and there are usually a few duds for me in every gen of pokemon but 5 Gen was by far the worst, at least for me.(Vanilite Line, Sigylph, Cryogonal, Audino looks like a teletubby, Gothita line, Alomomola, Cubchoo with that stupid snot drop, Druddigon's colours look like a two year old coloured it, and those are just the ones that I disliked immensely.) So for the love of all things pokemon, stop making poor design choices. I've seen fan made pokemon that put Gen V to shame.

Something different for Starter pokemon types- Emboar should have have been Fire/Dark, Samurott should've been Water/Fighting. Some people think Serperior should've been Grass/Dragon but I disagree considering Charizard who is a dragon from a design stand point has never been given that distinction......The point being no more Fire/Fighting or plain Water. It shows stunning lack of imagination that we've had 3 Fire/Fighting Starters. I mean pair it with something else, anything else. Heck I'd settle for a plain Fire type starter seeing as we've only had one(Compared to 3 of both plain Grass and Water).

Like Colress, I disagree.

I actually see a lot of creativity inherent with Gen V. Obviously, I'm in a small minority of people who like, well, every single Pokemon listed as having a "bad" design. If we want to really talk horrible designs, Gen III had some pretty horrible shit, too. It was fairly lacking in real story, as well, which has had more and more emphasis since (B2W2 has, in my opinion at least, had the best, most engrossing storyline since GSC).

In my honest opinion, Gen VI will be great, just like Gen V was. I do wish they'd apply some sort of filter to the GTS, like at the very least filtering out Pokemon you've not seen, with an optional one for legends. So very doubtful they'd do that, though.

All this.

More serious thoughts when I can actually think.

A new Pokemon made of confectionery- Cupcakemon. It evolves into Cakemon. Then Weddingcakemon. They live in the wild with Vanilluxe.

I'm looking at new evos for:

Jynx (Ice/Psychic)
Mr. Mime (Psychic/Steel) (BADASS WITH LOTS AND LOTS OF SPIKES PLS)
Hypno (Psychic/Dark)
Marowak (Ground/Ghost)

Simply because those don't look complete, ya know? There's probably something more there.

More pr/evos BECAUSE I CAN

evoAbsol (Dark)
prevoLapras (Water/Ice)
evoPersian (Normal/Dark or Psychic)
evoGolduck (Water/Dark or Psychic)
evoParasect (Bug/Grass) (the first image that popped into my head about this looked like a hideous Venusaur/Parasect clone with mushrooms everywhere. I'm kind of scared to see where this leads)
evoEevee (this is a very safe bet considering new ones come out every even gen)
evoSawk/Throh
evoTorkoal (Fire/Water)

New moves/Changes to moves:
Another weight-based move to go with a really heavy 'mon.
Trick Room no longer has negative priority/it is reduced to -1

New Type Combos:
Fire/Water
Normal/Ghost
Psychic/Dark
A Bug/Ghost that can actually care about the resistances it gets

All prediction, not sure what's really gonna happen. It looks like we seem to be viewing this new gen as kind of grim and supernatural - I wonder if this is correct. The other gens were pretty happy and bright in general - maybe this one is gonna be a bit darker.

I want an Electric/Psychic type, dammit.

It's kinda weird to think that I might not be able to play Gen 6 because it will be on 3DS.

Surprised that nobody has said "iPad app that lets you raise your Pokemon levels by playing minigames" yet.

iPad isn't owned by Nintendo. No profit to them = Not gonna happen.

Don't they get paid royalties or something? That's like saying that Fruit of the Loom isn't owned by Nintendo, so there's no such thing as Mario T-Shirts.

Unless of course Nintendo actually does make their own shirts in which case wtf

Yeah, but Fruit of the Loom isn't exactly a direct competitor. Mobile game engines like the iPod and it's ilk are already gobbling up Nintendo's market frighteningly. It's the equivalent of sending free nukes to your enemy.

There can only be one, though. Not enough resources to go around.

There are never enough resources to go around. (Read that last line in the voice of your choice of diabolical villain)

why would Nintendo bother making an ipad app when they can just do the same thing for their DS e-store?

I'm looking forward to new evolutions to old pokemon and new combos as well. While I would like to see it move from Unova, I would like to see maybe another Kanto/Johto sort of situation where it's on the same continent but a new area, maybe be able to go back to Unova too by train or plane.

A Dark type gym has been long overdue. I'd take it as being the first gym even.
