We know that new Pokémon games are coming, but do we know what they're going to look like? Actually, yes we do now, as Nintendo has revealed the first handful of screenshots of the upcoming critter-catching adventure.
Most intriguing is the screenshot showing off the new 3D city, perhaps hinting that no longer will all towns in the world of Pokémon run in strict grid formation with their doors facing South.
Check out the new screenshots and throw some speculation around – it always makes the wait go faster.

Nice to see the pics in HQ
**Gasps at roads curvature**
I know its an impossibility and just a damn stupid thought to have but... I just can't help it looking at these screenies. Imagine what this would be like on the 3DS?
......
Pokemans Grey is going to be freeking awesome...
Wow..Looks more dimentional.
You left out the shot with the two dark pokemon.
@skywake: I was wondering along those same lines so tried to view those images stereoscopically (duplicated, side-by-side), but didn't really discern any 3D effect, so either this won't be running on 3DS or they're using some different technique entirely to achieve a 3D effect. I still expected to be able to perceive some kind of depth of field, but didn't.
And of course, it could just be that my eyes are wonky .
amazing..
this is on normal DS, not 3DS
Wow, the depth in the city and PokeCenter look fantastic. Still haven't picked up Soul Silver, so I may just hold off and get one of these versions, since it's a totally new adventure (played Gold way back in the day.)
@drdark
It's already confirmed that these games are for regular DS. I wouldn't be surprised if they were "enhanced" with 3D visuals for the 3DS or if the special third edition (grey?) was designed entirely for the 3DS.
Well, we'll have to see how these games will turn out. I'm getting one of these no matter what, though. The screenshots certainly look interesting, though.
New camera angles! I better get this day one!
...oh wait. Ha ha, you almost had me, Nintendo.
There seems to be a bit more variation in perspective but other that that it still does not seem to be the most graphically mind-blowing DS game.
I wonder what the outside of the PokeMartiCenter looks like...
It will have a purple roof.
The screens look awesome, but how come there is no Pokemon following the Trainer like in HG/SS? I seriously loved that feature, and it would be dissapointing to see that feature removed in Black and White. Otherwise, Black and White looks amazing. I might buy Black or White depending on what other new features are introduced.
@15 @16 - http://ds.nintendolife.com/screenshots/24363 It looks like a normal Pokémon Center
WOW, it looks the same!
now that you mention it, how much cooler would it be if they made Black and White literally black and white like the 1st gen games. Complete with 8-bit music and weird sprites? I'd love it, anyway...
Maybe they made the following pokémon feature optional?
That would be a good idea. I think these will be DSi exclusives.
FINALLY a Pokemon game that uses a fully 3D effect! I should've waited for these instead of buying HeartGold out of impulse for the PokeWalker...
Wonder if the battles will finally be in 3D?
@23
That would not be a good move for Nintendo; no point in doing it.
I thought that they should do a runescape style camera where you can scroll down to see a 3D image like this, or scroll up to play top down.
I just want the freedom of choice nintendo. . .
YES!!!!!! I'M AM SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!
If you're going to speculate over the third version, please spell it right. It would be Pokémon Gray. G-R-A-Y!
@skywake: Unfortunately I think they were too far in development to make it for the 3DS, otherwise they would have to delay it for a few months (look at Twilight Princess )
Has anyone noticed the text box was actually a speech bubble?
Oh Lord! Thats a lot of improvement!
I can see on the cave that they are starting to have problems implementing the puzzle- and maze-elements into this improved environment.
3d city with 2d pixelated characters? NOT COOL.
@11. Token Girl
Lol "Pokemon Grey" that game sounds AMAZING!
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
