More amazing Pokemon games coming in 2012 - report

It could be an exciting year for Pokemon fans

The Pokemon Company has revealed that more amazing Pokemon games will be released in 2012. That's according to Serebii, the Pokemon website, which reports that Japanese magazine Famitsu has published a greetings card sent to them by the Pokemon Company. Within the card is a message stating that "more amazing Pokemon games" will be released in 2012 than in 2011.

2011 was a great year for Pokemon fans with the release of Pokemon Black and White while spin offs included Super Pokemon Rumble and the 3DS app Pokedex 3D. So what's coming in 2012?

What do you want from Pokemon in 2012?

    As much as I'd like to see a fully fledged 3D game (Grey?) I would really love to see a new Mystery Dungeon as there have only really been two different sets released so far so a new story would make my day. :lol:

    wowza, four days into the new year and more pokemon games coming.

    I am excited :D
    Apart from that video above, i would love to see:

    Pokemon Snap
    Mystery Dungeon

    or an entire new game:
    Pokemon Crossing?
    or some sort of living as a pokemon in a p'mon world with towns, parks, lakes etc with various quests, side missions and tasks to do

  9. phil2512 Wednesday 4th Jan 2012 at 17:19

    the pokemon spin offs getting worse in my opinion
    i just wanted a full pokemon 3d game

  10. TheEliteYoshi Wednesday 4th Jan 2012 at 20:03

    we just want the usual pokemon rpg adventure game in 3d with somekind of difference like battle revoulution battles using the ar camera or some kind of character customization such as mii's so every trainer will be different to one another making it unique :D :D

    Does anyone else want a pokemon game to come out with darker themes?

    What do you mean by darker themes? Could be interesting.

    All i really want is a Ruby/Sapphire 3D remake. :D Or at least grey. No more spin-offs please!

    Er...Serebii said Famitsu posted the card they received from The Pokémon Company online. It says nothing about the website - which is run by a British fan - receiving the card.

    Anyways, we know Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition is out this year. I also expect Grey to be released at some point (most likely in the Autumn). If we got a 3DS Ranger game or a Wii/Wii U PBR-style game for Generation V, I'll be happy.

  14. ThePokekid78 Thursday 5th Jan 2012 at 18:44

    Check ma YT video of Nobunaga's Ambition! :P

    Much as I would like to have brand new Pokemon games for the 3DS (which would probably boost 3DS sales), I expect Nintendo will also need to bring games out for the earlier DSs. There are millions of them! I look forward to this website posting more updates!

  16. lava_princeton Friday 6th Jan 2012 at 19:51

    that game is like Japanese samurai era, kinda like Okami! And the gameplay seems really similar to Final Fantasy Tactics A2 Advanced. It looks fun, which beats the continuous repetition of the 8 gym badge+pokemon league formula! :P

  17. Hams96 Saturday 7th Jan 2012 at 03:46

    hmm looks a bit too much like the Ranger games

  18. rrriki Saturday 7th Jan 2012 at 11:51

    What they should REALLY do, is make a pokemon game where you are the pokemon, so not seeing the pokemon you are on the screen, but looking through its eyes, WOW

  19. PokmonNo1FAn Saturday 7th Jan 2012 at 13:55

    I want either want one or both of these games to come out. The one I want most to come out is a remake of ruby and sapphire that will be compatible with all DS consoles because everyone knows that they were great games with amazing storylines that followed. And the second game that I wouldn't mind having come out for the Wii would be another RPG as they were good on the gamecube, but from seeing Battle Revolution released, I feel that it would be nice to make a storyline for it so you travel around a region instead of just jumping from coliseum to coliseum for a change :D. If you agree me leave a comment

  20. PureAwesomeness Saturday 7th Jan 2012 at 20:11

    Please let it not be a spinoff!

  21. Luigimon Sunday 8th Jan 2012 at 16:11

    NO NO NO. Forget this warlord rubbish, I just want something traditional for my 3DS. Game Freak can't just ignore 3DS users and stick with the DSi.

  22. Luigimon Sunday 8th Jan 2012 at 16:13

    Please no spinoffs! Just a full fledged 3D Pokémon game!!

    Hear, hear!

  23. popcorn man Monday 9th Jan 2012 at 08:24

    Serebii confirmed? Okay.

  24. Zaraki345 Monday 9th Jan 2012 at 19:01

    seems a bit like a Game of Thrones + Pokemon crossover xD tho i am hoping more for the expected "Grey Version", hopefully on 3DS.

  25. Fable Monday 9th Jan 2012 at 19:24

    I think another remake is pointless the original Ruby/Sapphire games are still easy to find and i don't care about updated visuals. Make them available for download or make them an extra after finishing the main story of the new game. The spin offs are either boring or terrible so no more please. I just want a new true Pokemon game. I'd like to be able to customize your character, also you can choose to have Pokemon follow you around like HG/SS and Pokemon aren't stored in a PC but run wild like the MD Friend Areas.

  26. sleepingdragoon Tuesday 10th Jan 2012 at 01:37

    Can't believe that so many people have never heard of Nobunaga's ambition!! It's an amazing game and is probably one of the only franchises that I'd like to see pokemon feature in apart from maybe assassin's creed that would be epic
