Nintendo Direct: Watch The Special Pokémon Announcement Right Here

I'm excited.

Glad im home taught!

Buy physical pokemon for your wiiU. rfid the crap out of them into the game with the gamepad. Special pokemon saved in a pokeball, even more pricey.

Go broke catching them all. Nintendo returns to insane profitability. There, summarised

I have never even bought a Pokemon game before but I know how big this announcement could be. Looking forward to this.

Just to hopefully clarify things a little.

My body is ready lol

But seriously I'm hoping for something good here. Come on Game Freak don't let me down.

I have a good feeling thatit'll be something good. I created an account just for this too. I'm so excited!

what time is this in australia hoping its at 10 pm tonight as im tired and i dont want to get up at 6 am for 10 minutes of news ?

It's in just 30 minutes now.

So what.... only about 7 minutes

Nevermind 30 minutes

30 minutes til it starts?

Yup Lan.

My bets are on the "Rainbow/Anniversary" rumours being true, with a new Dragon Eevee being shown.

oh cool as im staying up even if ive got a fever come on news!!! as i thought it was direct from japan

Rainbow/Anniversary rumors?

yeah that was a rumor and looking to be coming true if so ill be getting it it covers gen 1 to gen 4 with all islands connected in one story

i wouldnt mind a wii u pokemon game with full online support and link combatabilty with this rummored pokemon rainbow

Ah. Interesting. A friend of mine told me about this announcement and he thinks it'll be about a Pokemon MMO and a 6th generation. As for what I think it's for, I'm not sure. Although it could be a new Pokemon game for the Wii U.

yeah true but id dought its a mmo as it would have to be free to play and as the gm stated he wouldnt go down that path but 20 mins and we will find out

Yes we will. I'm so excited!

im from australia ive got a 3ds and a wii u also for the 3ds a update is coming out around 26th of jan which will have miiverse added to it

I'm so excited OMG

Ah. I've got both systems too.

Come on, Game Freak, dont let us down.

26 and have been playing pokemon snice pokemon red on the orginal gameboy im hoping they add pokemon red and blue to the 3ds eshop

I don't think they will. I have faith in them.

15 minutes

15 minutes ahh you beat me

I bet money that its PokePark 3: Pikachu's teaparty

lol i hope not

I somewhat doubt that will be the name of Pokepark 3.

Or My Pokemon Ranch 2

Hey U Pikachu for the Wii U. Calling it now

10 minutes left to wait.

Or Pokemon Channel 2.

lol i recon it will be pokemon rainbow for the 3ds at 49.99

@Nibelilt That sounds like something they would make just because the Wii U exists.

I doubt it would be that expensive.

@trossy998 If somehow that rumor magically came to reality, it would be well worth it.

Well I haven't slept better be worth my time.

@LordJumpMad It's GameFreak handling the announcement, so it's one of the main games and it's a major enough announcement that it's getting a worldwide Nintendo Direct video. We also know it's a 3DS game, definitely nothing for the Wii U.

I don't expect them to show much beyond a logo and a new Pokemon or two, but it definitely isn't just going to be a spin-off or anything like that.

@trossy998 Nope, sorry it's going to be Pokemon Rainbow for the Wii U at $59.99.

i hope its an open world game for pokmeon if they tell details on that pokemon deugon game ill be disopointed but i wouldnt mind a mod for gta iv pokemon style

australian dollors 59.99 = 99.95

6 minutes my body is acking maybe cos i have a fever

What if it's just GameFreak confirming a global release of Pokemon mystery dungeon on the 3DS.

It's nearly 5 minutes away! I woke up early for my 6 AM announcement! This better be good! My body is ready!

We'll know for sure in less than 5 minutes now.

lets see how this goes.

@Chobi It would be pointless to bother Japan at that time then because they already have the game.

oh god i so hope not but if it is im going to not sleep just thinking that this could be a good opertunity for game freak to annouce something new for a console game last once was in 2006 and that was dissopointing

4 minit

"Shockwave Flash has crashed"

My pikachu is ready....Err I mean my pokeballs are ready....Err I mean my body is ready!

refresh your browser

Pikachu is Pregnant. The word is out.

Hahaha! xD

the father is ash ketch up

I'm not expecting much. And its only 10minutes in leght. They are discussing too much in that time- I think it will be a minor reveal leading to the next generation and/or remakes.

Kanye is the father

Lmfao

No the Father is..... Yoda

i want a movie for pokemon game tie in and i want a movie to be good like the orginal pokmeon with mewtwo the rest were averge

I Second your comment!

Give me a New Pokemon Stadium too!

How about one about Red?

The father is his future self. Cookie to the reference spotter.

POPCORN PLEASE!

My eyes...

YES!!!

Well forgot that iPod can't handle UStream. Looks like I'll watch the repeat in ten minutes then, gonna be interesting

OHHHH MYYYY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!

I'll wait for Pokemon Z

Because naming the Pokémon games after sex chromosomes was definitely the right step to take. Good job not putting the old games on the 3DS VC btw Nintendo - thanks. The starter Pokémon have never looked worse - that's the funniest part for me. :3

OMG!

OOOOOOHHHH CRAAAAAAAP!!!
6TH GEN!!!!

YESSSSSSSS SAME RELEASE DATE!!!!!

The new legendary pokemon are cool looking.

omg finally a 3d world and on 3ds omg those gfx look arwsome

Vita is doomed even if they pull of a miracle 2013.

If Nintendo's stock doesn't shoot up from this announcement there may be something wrong with the stockholders.

Finally. Pokemon is taking a new and better direction. This is a pick up for sure.

Pokemon X and Pokemon Y?
I think I know what its sequel will be called... X2 and Y2 duh,

I'm ready for Pokemon Y!

Awesome art style. I'm thinking the names have something to do with chromosomes

Pokemon X and Y? The wild Nibelilt hurt itself in its confusion!

Heck yes, this is what we all wanted.

And the new gen comes 1 year after B2/W2.

3d graphics epic
just don't like the starters they look like there from a rip of or something

OHMG! WHAAAAT! Gen 6!!!

X and Y. wow. What was he saying when taking about America and Europe? Are we getting this in October too or is that just Japan?

They're releasing it the same month as my birthday. How nice of them.

Wow! It looks amazing!

EVOLUTION! getting this at launch 100%!!

That trailer was so awesome that my laptop just crashed!

Wow, just wow. It was worth staying up to see this. I'll be getting X version.

I missed the trailer

Pokemon: "We ran out of colours and gems" edition

But seriously, I'm hyped like hell
But that water starter, that thing was atrocious...

This is going to be awesome! For the first time, the U.s. will get a new Pokemon game the same time as Japan.

Sweet worldwide release I'll be pre-ordering these.

Wish it was called Pokemon R and Pokemon D - That way in case they make a Sequel it can be R2D2!!!!

Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome! I nerded all over the floor!

2013 for the 3DS now definitely blows away the disappointing 2012. Can't wait!

I'm like, in awe right now. Leave it to Pokemon to surprise everyone and make 2013 so much more interesting for the 3DS! My body is ready for October!

I'm looking forward to it too. The new generation looks amazing.

This was worth waken up at 5 for!

OMFG yes!!!! this is everything i always wanted pokemon to be!

HYPE!!!

Amazing news! It took long enough. I've been waiting for a solid 3D pokemon RPG since XD!

AWESOME news. I thought it would be some mundane news about the DS versions or mystery dungeon. But my freakin hell...finally the next gen pokemon games are on the table. I love the art style. Nice pokemon feel to it. Grrrreat grreat day! This is why I have my 3ds. okay...fanboy fit over.

Im glad i bought a 3DS. First Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, Then Animal Crossing New Leaf. Now Pokemon x and Y??? This is a great way to start my day.

The overworked looks a little messy, but I guess that's to be expected from an early prototype/trailer. I'm sure it'll sink in by the time the final product is released.

Other than that: HYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just nerded all over the floor.

Plus, if I'm right, it looks like you can customize your own trainer

Also, the fire starter looks beautiful IMO. At least it's a step up from Tepig.

I call Froakie, it looks adorable

Finally, a 3D Pokemon game! I'm definately going to get X version.

I'm liking the simultanious release idea. Now everyone can experience the game together and be suprised at the same time, instead of reading spoilers.

And the Pokemon look atrocious, but the water type looks the best out of the three, and luckily I always pick the starter, so I'm happy.

I hope the "early" released (cause B2/W2 were released last year) doesn't cut down on length though...

Damn Iwata!
He made so clear what he was going to say, but same time he made me almost die for suspance before finally showing the trailer XD

Althought the intro moved me a little... so many childhood memories...

Anyway can't wait the arrive of X and Y!
And it's gonna be a worldwide release, Nintendo is really working hard for Pokemon fans ^O^

This year has brought a great amount of anticipated games on my list, automatically this!

And just like that. The 3ds became the greatest system sold

Gene VI EXCLUSIVE for the 3DS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! This is EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE!! However, I didn't except it to come out this October and be a simultaneous worldwide release! Now that was surprising!!! Looking back at the series during this direct brought back some amazing memories for me. The best "Direct" video yet!

So is Pikachu still pregnant?

Wow this is probably the worst title for a pokemon game EVER! X chromosome = boy Y chromosome = girl, so I guess Z will be colored the represent shemales lol 😄

X and Y?Can't wait for Z. :3

Hello no offence Pokémon but the designs are getting worse. Unova was a bit weird. I miss the old Pokémon awesome ideas no hate. The graphics look awesome and it is a Pokémon game so it is guaranteed to be awesome journey and storyline

Not gonna lie; this announcement has actually made me want a Pokemon game. While I like me some pokemon, I felt like they were just rehashing the same old formula on the DS in the past two years with B&W and B&W2, which is why I didn't buy 'em.

But THIS, THIS looks like something I would actually spend money and time to play. Fully 3D adventure? 3D battles where the pokemon actually move and attack like in actual RPG's? This is what I've been waiting for for ever since I bought HeartGold out of impulse. This, coupled with the 3DS's SpotPass capabilities will surely (and finally!) make this a worthwhile addition to the Pokemon series.

I can already hear my wallet crying. Between Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, and this, my wallet and my time are both gonna be tortured to death. XD

@Alees99 I thought the Pokemon looked cool. This will be my first time choosing a fire type. I like how this time they're using a fox as a starter.

I don't understand why they refuse to make one of these for the Wii U... they want more Wii U sales right?

I'm calling this.....If the sequel to this would be Pokemon Z (I know this is just speculation) it should be on the Wii U! If it is.....Perfect....

I am incredibly excited for this! The only thing that bothers me a bit is how he said we can expect to see "some" old favorites return. Really hope he is just refering to wild encounters and that there will be a way to transfer our oldies but goodies. The new battle system looks stunning!

@SnackBox I like that idea. The Wii U AND the 3DS would sell like cakes, and you have games to play on the go, as well as one you can play normally. I love cake.

@Geonjaha Finding reasons to complain?

Nhaa, I'm not gonna buy that.

@SnackBox
That´s actually a great idea! Pokemon Z for WiiU in 2014 or 2015!

But first, want to enhoy these new 3DS adventures!

Uses Explosion!

Yes! This is just what I want. Going to look forward to this!

Soooo... Does the "Y" pokemon have a special high-tech socket that can be interfaced into the high-tech data port on the "X" pokemon, thereby creating an enhanced user experience?

wOOOOOOAAAAHHHH they fianlly got better graphics!
but not the most creative titles though

A new coat of graphical paint and all of a suddent the series has "evolved" what a bunch of BS.

Niiiiice! Finally a 3D world

@TheKingOfTown - I have plenty thank you very much. >:3

@StarDust BAD MENTAL IMAGE

I'm just going to wait for the inevitable release of pokemon "Z."
