Transfer Pokemon from RBY to SM via PokeBank.

Wait a second... how the hell will IVs be determined when Pokemon RBY had different IV ranges? (15 was the max iirc?) I guess this won't matter to casuals, but competitively these Pokemon will be bad.Well at least there's another way to get tutor moves, which I forgot if RBY had them... (I might be thinking of FRLG.)

Yep, now I can officially bring these videos to light!

PRAISE!

This must probably be the last generation. Be prepared.

I feel like they might have revamped a few small things about RBY along the way.

Pokémon Moon .

Why would it be the last generation? Pokemon's the second best selling game series of all time, they won't abruptly end it when it's the type of series that still has plenty of steam to keep going. If games like Zelda or Final Fantasy can go on as long as they have, Pokemon can easily keep going after this. Nintendo would lose out on a lot of potential sales if Gamefreak didn't release a new generation after this on their next handheld.

Hopefully so. It just seems pointless at this point in time imo.

I kind of doubt it'll be the last.

I mean if they're adding internet and Bank support, I'd expect them to change that up a bit, especially with the amount of time it has taken for them to rerelease an older title.

I highly doubt they can go anymore further besides those are good titles to end with it.

They could easily keep going. Pokemon's got a pretty simple formula, it's not too tough to keep it going. There are still plenty of new directions for them to take the series. It would kind of suck if they built all this hype for the 20th anniversary only to end it with "Oh these are the last Pokemon games you'll ever get, have fun!" Again, if Final Fantasy and Zelda can go on for ~30 years, Pokemon can easily keep going.

So maybe moon horse has influenced me.

Zelda anf FF can think of names easily. This company is very serious about thinking titles.

I know it is selling good. 1000 pokémon could be also the max.

If names are Gamefreak's biggest concerns, they'll definitely have no trouble keeping the series strong. Pretty sure that it's easier to come up with two opposite things than it is to make a Zelda game title.

 

They won't just suddenly end something that's so big. That wouldn't make any sense at all. Imagine if FFXV released, then Square just said "This is the last Final Fantasy we'll ever make."

Just got confirmation that Sun & Moon is 7th Gen!

From Bulbagarden on Facebook:

 

The UK press release for Pokémon Sun and Moon confirms that it is a NEW GENERATION. Pokemon.com also confirms that the game will feature a new world to explore and new pokémon to discover.

Ladies and gentlemen, GEN VII IS CONFIRMED.

Because Sun and Moon tells me that it's Gen 6 related.

 

Why do we need pure confirmation from something as simple as this? Not trying to start anything, but if anyone had doubts about Gen 7, they should know better.

[TheKnightWolf 15]

So what, are we just going to skip the whole Zygarde thing and Pokemon Z to move on to a new generation? Not like Gamefreak to do that. Oh well. Dibs on Moon!

It was very likely. They haven't done a third combined game since Platinum. Black and White and two separate sequels Black 2 and White 2 and never had a combined one. X and Y were likely to follow suite and they did. No Z and Gen 7 is on the way. Plus it's been 3 years. You really wanna stick to the same old game after 3 years?

because there were still unanswered questions in X & Y and people were confused but it was pretty obvious that sun & moon are 7th gen

My favorite thing is that people held out hope for Z for 3 years, even though Platinum was the last title to do that. That was 3 generations ago at this point. It's been years and it's unnecessary to keep it from there.

I suppose not. I just thought Zygarde was going to get his chance to shine like all the other 3rd party legendaries before him. Now he's going to be overshadowed even more. It doesn't have to be a combined game, but I thought this would be the last Gen 6 games at least.  Still happy about a new gen though. Can't wait to see more in the future.

... Wasn't expecting that Sun at all. ._.

Maybe there IS going to be some sort of Z story in Sun and Moon?

The Sun and Moon are connected to the Ecosystem so maybe I dunno, Zygarde has to do something.

They could do a Z episode like they did the Delta episode in Omega and Alpha
