What are the chances of this game NOT being cancelled? It honestly sounds way too good to be true
>>58553510It will just be a few iconic locations from each region
>>58553510>It honestly sounds way too good to be trueeither that or it's true that it's not going to be good
>>58553510>It honestly sounds way too good to be trueMost Pokemon games sound good on paper until you actually play it.
I feel like the fact that we now know about it and it’s not supposed to have begun proper development yet (according to the pic Seed’s development proper was only going to begin at the start of 2026), I feel like they have a very good excuse (it got leaked) to just cancel the project and replace it with an easy low cost BW remake by Ilca
>>58553510I would love this to be real like you wouldn't believe. Even better if they have spin off locations like almia and fiore too. But you really need to keep hopes in check. Given game freak's track record. Still though, I would hope they continue to work on this. Like this is something that requires more than your average years dev time imo probably even getting devs from other studios to come help
>>58553510If it comes to pass it will be a smaller scale thing than what the proposal sounds like. It's just not feasible if you apply common sense. Even if it was just in BDSP style it would be a big undertaking, they'd have to remake all of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh. As well as make a 2D version of Kitakami. And all of that to make their dream of being able to walk from Sinnoh to Hoenn come true
>>58553525Gens I and II are small enough to be included in a single game without issue (which they've done) and Kitakami is already a bunch of strung locations rather than a regionThe only thing that risks being cut is Hoenn and Sinnoh, mostly because of the fucking islands and sea routes
>playing sneed in 203x>see the battle frontier on the hoenn map>holyshit.jpg>get there, it's just a nearly-deserted island with the facilities closed>"ever since they created the Pokemon World Championships™ people stopped coming to the battle frontier and they had to shut it down"
i guarantee it. even if it wasn't leaked. it's way too ambitious for game freak's sleepy assthe most you'll get from this is all of the ideas being reworked and used in separate new games
>>58553562Bro even if it's another 1:1 chibislop like BDSP, just being able to see what the fuck goes on in those huge unexplored areas between Sinnoh and Kanto, and between Johto and Hoenn, would already make this game the dream game I had when I was a kid
>>58553596I can't see Hoenn or Sinnoh getting cut since that's at the centre of their proposal. Being able to walk from Sinnoh to Hoenn. They approach planning in that way. There's a word or sentence at the core of each of their projects. Like SV's theme being discovery shows through area zero and the explorers and stuff
>>58553510Doesn't Project Seed imply that Hoenn is close to Johto just like Kansai and Kyushu are close to each other in real life (separated by Shikoku)?I know they explicitly stated that Sinnoh is to the North of Johto and Kanto and had Sinjoh ruins, but have they ever really stated that Hoenn is even closer to Johto-Kanto?I was under the impression that they wanted to portray Hoenn as more remote (not as remote of Unova, but still remote)?They've said Hoenn is South of Sinnoh, but never specified how far South it is.This project seems to confirm that real world geography corresponds roughly to the geography of Pokemon countries. So Rustboro wouldn't be far from Cianwood or whatever.
>>58553525So a slightly more fleshed out Space World '97 GS, but a worse game than that overall?
>>58553510I don't trust Game Freak at all to make an MMO
>>58553692sorry bro it would just be a train/boat ride between regions
>>58553553>by IlcaILCA is working on Champions and on Ace Combat 8.Is hard seeing them working on another pokemon game
Is just going to be a WOW/Genshin/FF14, they will start with Johto/Kanto and every 2-3 year they will release a new region to explore
Legends Galar is probably still happening right? Looking at the teraleak there was already a prototype with gameplay, it was scheduled to start dev in late 2024 so by now even though we know about it it’s probably too far in to scrap? I really don’t want another Galar game
We need to see the new engine to make any genuine guesses as to what it will be like, I thinkIf it had come out this year, for example, youd maybe be leaving Sinnoh from Jubilife and heading through Twinleaf (the rest of the region is off-limits due to a blackout), traversing through ~30 mins of of copy+pasted wooded areas and mountians before arriving at Lavender Town, working your way west through Kanto (the most fleshed out region in the game) before either hopping on a train in Saffron or walking through Tojoh falls to get to Johto, then hopping on a boat to go to Slateport in Hoenn and maybe surfing over through a couple water routes through Pacifidlog over to Mossdeep. All in all maybe would be 7-8 hours in length with a pokedex of ~400 (all 151 Kanto mons would be in)If their next engine is built for hardware stronger than the 3DS then we might get something a little more impressive but this is still TPC we're talking about so expect something along the lines of GTA4 in terms of size and something along the lines of GTA1 in terms of complexity
>>58553510They can't even render a single fucking city properly lol, this game is not happening
>>58553510Small, TPCi insisted that the Pokémon world use Earth as basis, but arranged in a way that it could be mistaken for a different planet.
>>58553802
>>58553510lamefreak can't even design one city (let alone one region) properly and this nigga thinks they are gonna develop a game with multiple regions lmfao
>overworld won't be seamless because there's only 5 regionsit's gonna be dogshit>>58553692what makes you think they will create new areas?
>>58553510>Too good to be trueThat’s because it is. Gamefreak will find some way to monkey paw it. Watch Pokémmo get C&D’d just by being better and maybe Nintendo filing a new bullshit patent or two!
>>58553510If you think this sounds good you probably defend niggertrash like Z-A
>>58553510It makes me want to kiss Nintendo! Thank you very much, you guys!
>>58553510this sounds as shit cool as shit but it'd need like 5 years of dev time and we're lucky if that happens
>>58554586>what makes you think they will create new areasThey have to create new areas if they want to keep the idea of "walking between Hoenn and Sinnoh". The fact that they want to include Kitakami in the unexplored area north of Kanto also supports this
>>58553711I more mean it'd be easy to half-ass and exclude stuff like Sevii Islands, Battle Frontier, Eon Island, Faraway Island, the Zone areas from Sinnoh, etc. Plus I genuinely don't know what the dex for something like this would look like. Up to Gen IV + Hisui and Kitakami Pokemon? And exclusions would feel like a robbery like Z-A's dogshit dex
>>58555631>Up to Gen IV + Hisui and Kitakami Pokemon?That would make the dex have 580 pokémon
>>58555662You're making a game with supposedly +5 regions, that's not unreasonable to assume. If it has less, what's the point of having all these areas? Or the characters, is it going to take place after Sinnoh? Will they just do the lazy shit they did in Z-A where they include like 2 characters from older games and make a bunch of OCs? Then what's the point of revisiting these areas?It would be nice to get a romhack tier game of just getting to explore everywhere with nice little fanservice nods to the series history but I doubt even Game Freak could pull that off
>>58553939Considering how much Galar is mentioned in Z-A, yeah definitely.
>>58555583This but unironically if the game actually releases
>>58555631Assuming it is an MMO, I think they'd probably start the game with 2 regions. Probably Kanto and Johto. And then maybe every year or two add on a new one
>>58553510>sounds way too good to be trueIt is November 2025 and somehow people still have any expectations for Gamefreak projects
>>58555787>MMOGF documents call Titan (SV) an MMO at some points just for the online so don't get your hopes up, it will be probably just Paldea multiplayer again or maybe even worse, Galar multiplayer (only between towns)
>>58555819Personally I'd prefer that because an actual MMO would be nothing but a massive time and money sink for Game Freak already. There's only been two genuinely successful AAA MMOs ever and both of them have gone to shit now so I really, really would rather the games be single player experiences with multiplayer features
>>58555819>>58555846I don't recall titan being called an MMO but I remember it for gaia (gen 10) so yeah they aren't making a WoW-like game, just another Pokemon game where you can play with many players for more than battling and trading
This whole project is probably the most interesting thing in their future plans that we saw in the teraleak imo. Because you'd think someone would nix it before it even made it to the proposal and planning stage. But it's there in their 2024 planning docs. But thinking about it feasibly. How would it even work? The lore alone would be a headache for them to keep consistent. Will it be an entirely new story set across all regions? Will there even be a story or can we just explore? How do they even approach level scaling with 5 regions minimum. Does it even launch with all 5 regions or do they add them? What does an MMO even mean to Game Freak since they throw that word around a lot in their internal discussions but it's never clear what it means to them. Is this just going to be rolled into Gen 10 as the DLC, since tbey want MMO elements in Gen 10 too. Maybe they just cut it down to a Kanto/Johto DLC for Gen 10.>>58555707I'd assume it'd be new characters. The whole thing just seems like a massive headache to actually make though, which is why I'm surprised the idea was even discussed. Maybe they know more than we do, or we're envisioning it incorrectly. But something with regards to seed isn't adding up. Because on paper it sounds like the dream Pokemon game we all wanted.
>>58555819If it's single player with multiplayer elements im fine with that
>>58555882That's not even mentioning rhe fact that they could easily just split up the regions and sell them as separate remakes. So why would they give us all of PokeJapan in 1 game for only $70 when they could get at least x4 that amount. Something isn't adding up.
>>58555707Why would you even think it would take place in the same timeline? They can literally just make it some kind of alternate world thing where everything is the same and all the events from the main games didnt happen. That way you simply get to explore the regions without the story stuff that happens. There will be new story stuff but it can just be low stakes. If this game ever happens, a unified story is not necessary. Its simply about the journey as they said themselves "to be able to walk from sinnoh to hoenn"
>>58555992Don't give me hope...
>>58555992Because what's the point of really getting invested in a game that doesn't give a shit about the worldbuilding that was already set for it? You can break the lore like PokeMas and just have all the characters already be the way they are, nobody gives a shit, but who would give a shit about exploring a game without seeing characters like Misty, Steven, Cynthia, Blue, Silver, etc?Like even if all the Pokemon were back, there's already plenty of Pokemon games you can play with all these Pokemon available to you. If something's missing, people are gonna cry foul. Even if the game is destined to sell a million copies anyway because of the brand, if it's inferior to someone's Gen III hack what's the point of even making the game in the first place? Why suggest anything this ambitious without wanting to put in an ounce of effort to make it work?At least Legends Galar will have low expectations because the bar was already set on the floor. All-Japan is the last opportunity to really please oldfags and impress the world, not just appeal to the sad millennial fanbase who sold their souls to this franchise
>>58553510> It honestly sounds way too good to be truethat's because it's gamefreak. it's going to be bad in a way none of us could possibly conceive. they'll inevitably fuck something up that nobody could have guessed could be fucked up.
>>58556021Because their vision is focused on travelling from the top to bottom of Jalan. Not on remaking the stories of those games. So they'll probably skip those characters.
>>58553510Anyone knows where those pics come from? are they just references or will the cities actually look like that
I wonder if such a game would have any references to the Ranger series, since those games' regions also cover some of Japan.It'd be funny if Game Freak took the opportunity to definitively declare these games non-canon.
I think if they ever make it it’s going to have a completely new battle system that doesn’t rely on levels
>>58556073The project clearly says Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Kitakami so...
>>58556021You sound like the type of player that never touches any of the chill games like stardew valley, animal crossing etc... The intention of seed is to make a chill game that encompasses the Japanese regions. It's GameFreak's vision to build the pokemon world into something feels like ours, lived in. The intention here, is to bring all of the classic regions into a fully fledged 3d world. To show how the regions interact with each other, how the cultures differ and yet mingle, to show you how life is like in PokeJapan. You can start off in a few select towns of your choosing. From then on, you can choose to explore...anywhere. If you start in kanto, you can head over to johto and then move on to sinnoh if you want. Do whatever you want, explore whatever you want, there doesn't need to be a main narrative. Its just you and your pokemon exploring the continent. That sounds like a game I would absolutely buy and play the fuck out off as long as it is geniunely executed properly. Go visit Blue at his Gym. Go visit Cynthia at the league to battle her or you can find her at Celestic town from time to time chilling with her family. Maybe Steven can found randomly in caves etc... etc...
>>58556097It's not that I don't play those games (even if I don't) it's more Game Freak has never MADE a game like that. At best it's Gen I which happens to be my favorite because of its focus more on worldbuilding through locals rather than story slop that Masuda introduced. Game Freak have focused on narrative as the main crutch of their games. I would like the game you're suggesting too, but how the fuck they would pull it off is beyond me. Especially when you have someone like >>58556042 suggesting none of that shit is important. It's absolutely important to making the game feel actually lived inOtherwise what's the fucking point of a game like this? You can shit out a tech demo concept that's just the old 2D game maps + Kitakami and throw in Pokemon and say it's a Pokemon game but that's lazy as hell. That's practically what we got with Z-A
>>58556042They're absolutely not gonna skip those characters. Old characters being in the game and in modern 3d graphics will be one of the main things. This game can flesh out gym leaders and E4 from these regions more too. New characters will probably still be made, like I can absolutely see them making more gym leaders to show you that lorewise, the 8 gyms you face arent the only ones in the region. There's a lot of things they can do. What happened in ZA was different because they were building off the events that happened in XY. So they don't want to expand upon older characters. But in seed, they don't need to do that so there is no need to make all new OCs like in ZA
>>58553939ZA is literally throwing an alley oop to a Legends Galar throughout the whole game lol, so yeah.
>>58556125I mean ultimately, this game is just a massive undertaking in general and it's really just waiting to see any news in the coming years on if it is still on the menu. And while I would also love it, the fact that they were locked to only a city in ZA and still kinda failed to pull it off gives me 0 hope that it will be good. As for anons that that don't care, well that's why they will still have shit like Wind/Waves and other mainline games to play instead
Assuming this takes place in the future, I hope we can find her with all six of George Droid’s mixed-race babies
>>58556096So what? If it's supposed to be a seamless journey, they'll need to cover a lot of land outside of those regions, especially between Sinnoh and Kanto. That means they'll have to inevitably address the Ranger regions, either reference them or retcon them completely. Almia in particular is in a spot you can't ignore, it covers the rest of Hokkaido and bridges Sinnoh to the main island.
If this game really does come out, we should expect a few things:1) Some old characters will appear, some won't. Don't expect anything like the PWT2) Most old locations will be present, but not all of them will be full recreations of their previous iterations. So don't cry when you don't get the Battle Frontier again3) The game will reference the stories that happened in FRLG/HGSS/ORAS/BDSP/LA/SV, but they won't be the focus of the overall narrative. The main story will be about something else entirely, not some fanfic-tier It All Comes Together™ shit4) No, you won't have to challenge all 8 gym leaders and Elite Four of a region before moving onto the next one. That shit makes no sense and I don't know why someone always brings that up when discussing the possibility of a game with more than two regions5) Considering point 4), they can 100% make level scaling work by simply reducing the number of important things to do in every portion of the map. Since you don't have to "clear" a region to go to another one, they can just reduce the number of trainers to battle and things to do in every region, in order to make the game flow better. Just go wherever you want and do whatever you want. That's kinda the point of an open-world game
>>58556220For point #4/5 I don't see why they can't just "reset" the regional powerlevel when you enter a new area. Like say you start off in Johto and you manage to get 5 badges. You can your mons are somewhere around the 40s. Then you decided to go to Sinnoh. Now since Sinnoh is a new location it would be unfair and very boring if you just use your level 40 mons to steam roll everything. There would absolutely have to be some kind of level cap or restrictions on using your team that you caught in Johto. You can either make it so that you are given a free starter every time you enter a new region or make it so that if you do decide to challenge important trainers like gym leader it would be not only level capped but also restricted to how many mons the gym leader has. If the gym leader has 3 lvl 20ish mons, you would have to challenge them with the same 3 mons at lvl 20 as well. This was done in ZA, some NPCs want you to only battle them with specific mons in a lvl so as awful as GF is at balancing, they do seem to be coming around this idea
>>58556269*in an 1 v 1
>>58553510Don't worry, it won't.But it will be something bdsp-level style.With the maps sticked with glue.
>>58556181>so what So we know the spinoff shit isn't gonna be in.
>>58556142I hope so, Middle Ages Galar sounds fun
>>58553510Formerly Project Chuck
>>58553510you think this shitheap sounds GOOD?
>>58554561Mad because you are too old to enjoy playing a game, or mad because they make real games instead of movies like the shit you are get used to.Or maybe mad because it won't get emulator and the switch one got the cable plugged out, but as was said>emulating old retro games is fine since hardware is dead and games are sold at overprice to inflate a bubble.>emulating modern games make no sense since is cheaper to buy the console and games.
>>58556220>fire red.Just buy let's go pikachu and play it on switch 2.>orasIs kinda new and can be get>brilliant diamondBuy the game and play it on switch 2.>legend arceusAgain buy it and play it on switch 2>scarletAgain buy it and play it on switch 2 asshole, why some are so retarded that can't figure that out despite being the solution offered is like they buy new shit but don't get or understand how it works.Is like those retards that got a 3ds and were surprised finding older people playing DS games on the 3ds going almost insane at point of retardation with the whole "the 3ds isn't built to plsy DS games, the 3ds is for 3ds games" despite the option being there.>muh there should be no region lock at allPlay the game, enjoy, move to next region when you took the crown of first region.I'm done with retards.
i honestly want this to be a top-down sprite based game
>>58553510>expecting game freak to be competent enough to make a good gameoh, you sweet summer child
