[Pikabread]

because it's the mascot and kids like it

and I like it

:3c

[Picochilla]

I'm sort of tired of them using pikachu as much as they have. I get it, he's the mascot but it's sorta ridiculous.

At least one guy besides me thinks about the same way as i do

Like when I see new mystery dungeon games, it makes sense to have the starters, but WHY ALWAYS PIKACHU TOO?

(thats literally the vision i had after i read that post now)

I suppose you guys want Hey You Koffing as well

Yeahr.... why not?

[pholtos]

It made sense back then given that they decided on pikachu early on to be the mascot back when there were only like 2 gens of pokemon but it's been like 20 years and yet pikachu still seems to be a main pokemon in almost every pokemon game that isn't like pearl, diamond, X, etc.

Is it just me is there something just wrong about deep-voiced Pikachu...?

Saw this earlier

I don't know what it means?? Is it advertising something specific (being left vague for now) or just a general Pokemon ad...?

[underFlo]

I think the reason they're staying with Pikachu as their mascot is the same as to why they pretty much exclusively included Gen I Pokémon in their Super Bowl Ad: They wanna appeal to the people that played the original Gen I and II games, and they have to keep their brand recognition. Some 20-something year old who hasn't played since Gen II won't recognise any newer Pokémon, but Pikachu is so recognisable for him because he was everywhere back when the games first launched.

That said Detective Pikachu is the best thing ever 10/10 will buy on launch

[Learning-Timebuster]

they should give trubbish a game, thats a good mascot

[Katazuki]

This mixes my two of my favorite things. The only thing that bugs me about this is the voice of Pikachu, which I find is not fitting.

Unless they're going for Looker as a Pikachu, in which case, get a better plot.

[Learning-Timebuster]

its looker's fursona

[Dizzybelle]

rumours are flying around about "Pokemon Sun and Moon" as new games, but yeah, we've had our fair share of rumours in this community, so i think i'll wait before taking anything as truth

[Blivsey]

One hour away! Th-thump.

[Blivsey]

EVERYONE ACT SURPRISED

Holiday 2016

[Learning-Timebuster]

i think i saw a vaguely birdlike new pokemon

[Lostsoldier20]

This just in on the tail of the Pokemon leak!
Madden and Call of Duty will have new games this year!

Seriously though, as great as the opening and all was... that was an anticlimax, even without the leak. We barely see anything about the game. Maybe 2 random Pokemon models and an area/concept art of said area. All within a split second. It was a never of question of if or when, being it is Pokemon's 20th.

Welp, time to wait until Summer for any actual news.

Bird confirmed for bird

[Mata Hari]

Seriously tho if they're not willing to show even one new Poke they can go pound sand IMO

Because they were mediocre!!!!

[Blivsey]

Oh come on they were-- yeah, mediocre is accurate

But they also didn't include third versions or B2W2 in the direct so yeah

[Kuupa]

Ok yeah the gameplay was pretty mediocre, but the music and art were awesome.

well they did show the gear fellow about two weeks ago

[Telamon]

Let's be honest, the only thing I'm interested in is whether they're going to let us dress up our character again.
