Re: Satoru Iwata talks about 3DS, Wii U, Nintendo at briefing today: New Pokémon game
EDIT: Okay, I love how the images get larger as you go down, which was not intended, but makes the point clearer xD
Red, Blue and Yellow were marketed for the Gameboy outside of Japan, not the Gameboy Colour.IDK, I believe they'll pull a Crystal on the third version by making it 3DS exclusive. Sure Gold and Silver were marketed for the GBC, but so were R/B/Y when they were first released outside of Japan in 1998. So expect Gen 6 to be released on the 3DS's successor just like Gen 3 for the GBA.
While Emerald's release was after the DS' internationally, in Japan Emerald was released just under 3 months before the DS.Don't forget about Pokemon Emerald and them keeping it on the GBA when the DS was already out. A similar situation could happen here. It would just be much easier to finish on the DS, unless they are looking to extend Generation 5's lifetime or something.
I also think Gen V will end on the DS. My main reason for thinking so is how during development of BW, GameFreak said one of the biggest problems they had was making the games feel different to Gen IV; after having just experienced that problem and it being fresh in their memories, it would be a pretty stupid move to make themselves encounter it again when they get to Generation VI. I imagine Grey will be released in Japan next year, we'll see Gen VI in 2013, and RS remakes in 2015.I'm pretty sure they'll finish Generation V on the DS. It would be really weird if they will move to the 3DS in the middle of the said generation just like what El_ said. Junichi Masuda said that he wanted to do 2 titles on the DS, which is obviously Generation IV and Generation V, so it would be really better if they will finish Generation V on the DS, regardless if they will release Gray and RSEmakes or only one of them or not at all. It would be really plausible if they will move on to the 3DS console sooner than later, but not too much sooner, and start on that console with Generation VI, so that's why I have a feeling that only one of the two game/s I mentioned will be released before they finish Generation V and move on to Generation VI, by either releasing Gray or RSEmakes, with Gray as being more likely.
