Game Freak should be fairly busy right now, presumably putting the finishing touches to Pokémon X & Y, yet it's found the time to tease a new title with a mysterious website, adorned with a silhouette that looks Pokémon-esque — our tipster reckons it doesn't look like any current 'mon, except possibly a Munna.
In any case, Serebii has been on the case and interpreted a caption as follows — "the well known game, played all around the world, is about to be reborn thanks to a surprising collaboration". The URL also supposedly contains the word Soritiba, a trademark filed by Game Freak last year.
We suspect fans would like this to be Pokémon-related, and that's certainly the best known franchise — by some distance — from Game Freak. Yet it could be something entirely new, with the studio perhaps working on a project with or for another publisher.
It's all a mystery, but let's enjoy some rampant speculation in the comments section below.
Thanks to Prof_Clayton for the tip

It's a magical horse! :0
It kind of reminds me of the horse in Little King's Story, bizarrely.
I know it won't be but imagine if its Pokemon x Angry Birds. Nintendo, Game Freak and Rovio wouldn't need to make another game for years, just sit back and watch the money pile up.
pokemon x digimon.
calling it right now.
Pokémon x Pulseman x Drill Dozer...? Where the Pocket Monsters are game characters in the Pulseman computer system and played by the "real-world" characters from Drill Dozer?
That, or Yoshi 2.
After a quick sweep of the google, it's...
Horse solitaire. Okay then...
I hope it's something to do with a pokemon rpg and the wii u
It's Psyduckhorse!
Munna isn't close, the ear and body structure gives that away. It is definitely new.
@Forbsz We can only hope and pray
Harvest Moon? Raise your own pokemon. Use a tauros for ploughing.
I know the picture has nothing to do with it but gimme Pokémon Snap U!
Probably another crossover like Pokemon Conquest but with a different company this time around.
However, it doesn't say anywhere that this is a game. It just says that a series will be reborn due to a collaboration. It could be a collaboration of anime works for all we know.
Mostly reminds me of Moomin....
Hmmmm suprising collaberation... Errrr... EA.
@Ernest_The_Crab That's what I'm thinking as well. Thanks for being ernest.
reminds me of Hudson from Viva Piñata...but that wouldn't happen.
That looks a bit like these...pig things from .hack, i cant remember what they are called. And the background gives me some kind of digimonish "digivolution sequenze" vibe.
charlie the unicorn
@Sjoerd Beat me to it! I think it's Harvest Moon as well which would make sense actually. Raising Tauros, Miltank, Rapidash, etc. And of course battling nasty Patrat and Raticate infestations... It'll be an eshoIp title methinks. Added a link to an HM horse pic that's pretty close to the silhouette.

Pokémon X Animal Crossing
It's a donkey.
It's a Moomin!
furry dog with an acessory in its head, or a pony. As sad in the "translation"... The "thing", game, anime, mangá, could be anything, is not new it has previously knowed around the world, but its now returning.
er... sorry its a GAME that is comming back now
Pokemon x Digimon. It's about frigging time! lol
Looks like a ........ pinata.
Too me, it strikes me as something from harvest moon, which could be a pretty interesting game.
POKEMON Z! .... Nah. How about Pokemon X Fire Emblem?
What I think is...
Its My Little Pony-mons
No idea, if it's the Moomins I will scream excessively and migrate to a third world country.
Anyone read Japanese to translate the background characters?
@jpfan1989
That'll be awesome
I don't think so but i wish it be another Pokemon Conquest .
Oh boy I wonder what it can be!! SO HYPE!!
I bet it has nothing to do with Nintendo.. Pokemon is going multiplatform.
@ThomasBW84 That was exactly my guess. If it's 'mon related, probably won't be my cup of tea, but I hope it'll come to the U, whatever it is. It needs games (not me, I've got enough for the moment).
God, it'd be sweet if they were working with Natsume on a Harvest Moon/Pokemon-type game. It reminds me a lot of the earliar horses in the Harvest Moon series, that's for sure.
So now to wait for disappointment, seeing as that's pretty much all speculation ever does.
Bring back Pulseman!!!
Was thinking Digimon as well, never played that series...wonder how that would work with Pokemon...lol
Its gotta be something new, I can't think of anything that fits the silhoutette. The only thing that comes to mind is Monster Rancher, they did came out with a DS game not too long ago so it hasn't been forgotten. I could see Tecmo wanting to work with Game Freak to revive the franchise and who better to work with than the guys behind Pokemon?
I doubt thats the case though, its more likely to be a Pokemon spin-off than anything else.
@Hyperstar96 That's obviously a good idea. But you know how Game Freak and Nintendo are...
Gamefreak, why must you torture us? WHY? WHY?!
@Dr_42o Never gonna happen. Nintendo owns the IP.
Hey, they said that it's a well-known game played all over the world. It doesn't have to mean it's one of THEIR games. For all we know, it could be a new version of Pin the Tail on the Donkey.
Personally I'd like a Pokemon MMORPG.....maybe developed with a Korean company, which would be really surprising.
Please... Pokemon MMO. I'd also love a Pokemon RPG that follows the Anime with a style like Dragon Quest 8 but obviously better.
I think it'll be Drill Dozer though.
@ljinkakidd
If it follows the anime....I won't be getting it.
He's a magical pony, flying through the sky; On a magical journey, just for you and I.
Judging by the size of that thing's head, it looks like a Harvest Moon horse. I could easily see this collaboration being a Rune Factory-type HM/Pokemon crossover.
Actually, that would be pretty awesome. Pokemon Ranch, now with actual ranching!
Well, it doesn't look like Munna, that's for sure.
@Ernest_The_Crab
"the well known game, played all around the world,"
And that thing looks like a horse to me. That Pokémon x Digimon, does not sound so farfetched, since it says it is a surprising collaboration, and we have seen things like Capcom vs SNK.
Dude, Pokemon Moomin would be SWEET. Those stories were my FAVORITES when i was a baby.
@Sjoerd
So down for a Harvest Moon mashup!
Munna isn't a horse
My first thought was definitely Zatch Bell. But that's ridiculous.
@Retro_on_theGo: Is it? That thing is the spitting image of Umagon/Ponygon.
@ljinkakidd
Umm...you do realize that the Pokemon anime is based off of the games, right? It's not the other way around. Games come first, anime comes second.
Pokemon X Earthbound? I mean the teaser was released on the day Earthbound was realeased on the Wii U?
" our tipster reckons it doesn't look like any current 'mon, except possibly a Munna"
Wat
@MrWalkieTalkie haha that's the first thing I thought of too!!! Didn't think anyone else would post it. Hats off to you sir!
A new Pinball would be great!
Looks like a horse. Nothing like a Munna...
@Bobhobob That would actually be pretty awesome.
Pokemon X Harvest Moon would be all kinds of awesome.
Pokemon X Shin Megami Tensei
You play as N as you try to talk to Pokemon in order to convince them to join your party.
@RoboDuck Hahaha could you imagine how Pokemon would be redrawn?
pokemon X pokemon
and then pokemon Y pokemon
and then they create real pokemon and then we turn out to be in a videogame and then they make a sequel
@EpicGamer
Yes, I know that, I am talking about the Orange League/first series with Ash as the main character. I'm not talking about the newer games. I just want a Pokemon game that looks like Ni No Kuni aestheticly. Pokemon red and blue had few scenarios that match the Anime. To understand me better tbere is a Pokemon Fire Red hack that takes you through the first dozen episodes or so.
I am really looking forward to seeing what this collaboration could possibly be. I'll await the announcement patiently.
harvest pokemon : a tale of two breeders
nawwwww
