True, I'd think that a new game would be exciting than more of the same region. Who knows what it'll be, if it's good enough, I might actually buy a new Pokémon game for myself this time.

Also, my unreasonable prediction for today: Pokémon Sun and Moon are launch titles for NX, because the NX needs big games for its launch, right?

I'm surprised they are skipping a Z game as there are loose ends to deal with first like the mansion, Zygarde etc

Wouldn't they need to announce the NX first before they announce NX games?

@arronishere: Yeah, it is weird. And with the anime renamed to XYZ, you'd expect Pokémon Z more than anything else.

They could just reveal the games and not mention a platform and reveal that they're NX games when they announce the NX. Of course, that's just a wild guess based on absolutely nothing.

Well the thing about the anime is, the new season will probably start before the new games are out, and they probably don't want to spoil anything by showing it in the anime. Pokemon XYZ Series may just be 1 season and then next year they start covering the new games. That could also mean we start to see "new" pokemon appear in the XYZ series to tease the new games and not be completely left in the dust. I don't think the series should/could be used to confirm or deny certain aspects. Just as an example, Bulbasaur doesn't have to be taken to a special tree in a certain forest to evolve.

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

An entire Direct for a teaser. I'd hoped to see a little more than that. Oh well..

@FriedSquid: I expected a teaser for the game that showed at least one or two new Pokemon.

Mega Kangaskhan with Body Slam will now be a thing. As if it wasn't a big enough threat already.

Quote from Pokémon.com: "Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are coming out for systems in the Nintendo 3DS family in holiday 2016, with a new world, new Pokémon, and new adventures to discover."

So, they say we're getting new Pokémon. As far as I know they have been using the term new Pokémon for Mega Evolutions, so I think it's still to quick to say that these games have to be Gen VII, but so far it looks like a new gen.

@Waluigi
New woodpecker pokemon. Also, from some different screenshots, it looks like the game might take place in Hawaii or Singapore?

I didn't get spoilt because I wasn't on the Internet on thursday. This is so awesome! Bit of a shame that there's no Pokémon Z but hey, they must be going to do something with it... the Zyagrde formes is what confuses me, are they just for the animé or wut?

The new region looks like Kalos, so I wouldn't discard the whole 6.5 gen thing that's been discussed before.

That got me thinking about rock head Aerodactyl with Double Edge with excitement but then I remembered Aero can only learn it in Gen 3

They better have Lunatone and Solrock available to capture or something in these games. Maybe they can finally have evolutions as well. I love those Pokemon, they go so well with Staryu & Starmie for team aesthetic value.

I don't care what people say. It's an anniversary to hit you in the feels. And I think they did a good job. You guys are much to picky and easy bait.

I'm excited, but I do wish they had shown at least a few seconds of footage. Still, the screenshots gleaned from the Direct are better than nothing.
