Cockblocked again

What a waste of a Masuda appearance. All they did was promise more regular updates... but Bulbagarden believes they'll just be rehashes of things that will already have been stated by CoroCoro and the official site by then. And I'll trust their judgement over mine any day. So... thanks for... nothing, I guess?

  1. Is it just me, or are they being even more secretive about this generation than normal with the false promises?

    1. Not really. It's just that they were REALLY hasty when announcing the games themselves. I think this week's developments mean the wheels have started turning, and we should expect more frequent updates. It's just that they believe none will be coming out of Pokémon Smash, which is weird considering what they did in last week's episode, essentially confirming a new type and giving us some insight into it.

    2. My guess is they had Nintendo riding them hard about the fact there was still no official announcement of a Pokémon game for 3DS. The cynic in me wants to say Gen V is responsible for the 3DS' pisspoor sales, since it disincentivised buying a 3DS for Pokémon fans everywhere.

    3. I think the information train of justice doesn't get started until the May-June area usually.

  2. Slowflake, would you say that this more or less of a troll move than when Masuda went on to make the HUGE announcement that was PokePark 2?

  3. I'm not really bothered. Anyway, XY will probably be my last Pokemon game, so I'm not too bothered about the new type business anyway.

  4. They pulled a Square Enix. They announced an announcement.
