When will fans be hearing about the next game in the main Pokémon series? Possibly soon.
Without revealing any specifics, Masuda hinted that you should 'keep an eye on Pokémon Smash', the weekly Japanese TV show that airs every Sunday.
To reinforce his teaser, Masuda followed up with a Twitter post again telling Pokepeeps to keep an eye on the weekly show or, if not, his Twitter feed.
An announcement, it would seem, is imminent, although Siliconera notes that this weekend's episode of Pokémon Smash passed with no such news.
But with 3DS now flying off Japanese shelves, now would seem a good time to talk about Pokémon's first 3D adventure.

Should be an RPG now- the Poképark ''adventures'' need a bit of a break. Even a PMD would make me happy at this stage.

They better cut down the bloody surfing if they're remaking RSE.
I'm actually looking forward to Grey. I'm still not fond of the "three games per gen." money-spinning technique, but Platinum was a massive improvement over its generational equivalents and I'm hoping for something similar from this.

How else will they quell the Level 8 Tentacool population!

You're thinking of RBY, old boy. I found a level 40 one on my first playthrough and solo'd Blaine with it.

i don't mind surfing as long as it is like ruby sapphire (speedy surfing), and there's items and dive spots and lots of trainers, and mysterious items, pokemon needs to be mysterious again
