Pulled from the B/W thread over at OCR after I posted the Pokébeach quote I pulled from here over there.

Prepare for glomping.
OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD *uber glomps*

Let's hope that it's only something small, like uhh... own photo in the Trainer Card.
Coincidentantly, I'll thinking it might have something to do with the camera.

I'm watching you all. Always watching.

Another idea: since those games apparently are about the sky becoming light and dark (by PokéBeach's latest news), maybe cameras will act as a light sensor, like in Boktai?

Nakagawa Shoko, the hostess of Japanese variety show Pokémon Sunday recently posted an entry into her blog possibly revealing Zekrom’s type. Shoko wrote she would love to voice Zekrom in a movie because Electric is her favourite Pokémon type. The blog post was then later removed which leads us to believe that Zekrom will be Dragon/Electric type, the fact that the blog was removed strengthens the rumour.

This still isn’t confirmed but for now it seems quite likely, this would also make Zekrom the first Electric/Dragon type Pokémon.

If that counts as a hint then a truck crashing through your wall counts as subtle.

LEAKS LEAKS AND MORE LEAKS!! Other then that, Dragon/Electric type sounds scary combination, but cool all at the same time.

Maybe Zekron is looking for the Galactic Leyline.
This game will be ruined forever if Dragonite doesn't learn Pay Day.

They needed a new formula a long time ago.  I honestly think Legends 3 would have accomplished that.  They kept on remaking the same thing, with lower budgets, and now they're acting all confused because they stopped making a profit.

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

A JRPG? With CHOICES?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The very notion of JRPG is "you have to follow a crappy storyline like a movie and grind your characters like some crazy mofo".

That would make it a WRPG, not a JRPG. It would not be breaking the mold, it would be changing the genre.

Yeah... but you know as well as I do that they'll never do that.

The reason why I pretty much never, ever play JRPGs. Involving stories = WATCHING A DAMN MOVIE.

The very notion of JRPG is "you have to follow a crappy storyline like a movie and grind your characters like some crazy mofo".

Some JRPGs did have the "choose your own path" option, but some of those were to lead to a Game Over, what's up with that?  o-O

Also: Return of pokemon following you, I know this is slim, but I always did like this neat little feature. and with a large park as shown in the previews, it would be a very nice touch. And ACTUAL pokemon performing *insert action here* please, no more shilouettes of Latios/Latias and Walimer while surfing/flying before the whiteout.  -AC

They will, and they have, but it's limited to side-stories.  The original formula will always exist beside whatever else they want to try.  See Pokemon Colosseum.

Sigh, breaking from the mold could mean changing the genre...
The Pokemon mold is very, very tight.  Of all the games to use the turn-based mechanics, in only one side-story (again, Colosseum) were you ever *NOT* playing as a child prodigy upstaging the experienced trainers.

They needed a new formula a long time ago.  I honestly think Legends 3 would have accomplished that.  They kept on remaking the same thing, with lower budgets, and now they're acting all confused because they stopped making a profit.

Well, I would at the very least like it for some minor things, not like I ever thought of Pokemon as a story-heavy game series. At the very least side quests to flesh you, the main character, out.
But you know, if they have enough money to make spinoffs, sell plushies, toys, a t.v series, movies and, well, everything.
    
You know, refine it so it is top-notch, and what I am seeing looks pretty good. But of course, one cannot judge well by simply watching it in action, how it plays is what counts.

Am I the only one that thinks that the concept of Pokemon would better work in a turn-based strategy mechanic?

I put on my [twin slasher] face.

I also go by Spectro D., Idylleaus, Malabar, and Dumb-bit Twofuck.

That would actually make the size issue of Pokémon alot more notacle and multiplayer matches of Mewtwo versus Ratatta wouldn't be as even. 8D
