New Pokemon in development for DS, release this year in Japan
Oh Pikachu, we know you’re tired.
But wake up, you’re going to be in another Pokemon game for DS! And it’s out in Japan this year.
According to an investors meeting held in Japan by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, he confirmed a new game in the series is in development for a release in 2010.
There was nothing else confirmed, like if it was being made for DS Lite or DSi in mind. Or what exactly the game will be like.
If you can read Japanese, there is more info on the Pokemon site.
Earlier, Nintendo also confirmed it is shipping Metroid: Other M from this summer in Japan.
Thanks, Siliconera.

Japanese site confirms new Pokémon will feature and there’s something about innovation and the series being ‘reborn’ or similar.

Hold on… ‘innovation’… ‘reborn’
Well stone me dead… are Nintendo actually going to start rebooting their franchises?!

Well, Game Freak did advertise for a 3D modeller last year…
Could just be Red and Blue with a fully 3D world and Pokemon, and battle scenes where the ‘Mon – gasp – ACTUALLY HIT EACH OTHER. And a few additions to the Pokédex, natch.

This is just a dream of mine, but before D/P were announced, I imagined that battles would be in 3D, and each of the 4 attacks would be attached to a button. It would be real-time and kind of like the Tales series. oh well
