If speculation sparked by new blurry magazine scans turn out to be true, Pokémon fans may be disappointed with the new Pokémon game reportedly set for reveal next month.

According to an unverified report, Japan's Dengeki Nintendo DS magazine is teasing a Pokémon game reveal for its next issue (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/299172/news/new-pokmon-game-announcement-next-month/) expected out on May 21, leaving the type of game it will be and it destined platform a mystery.

New scans from an unspecified Japanese magazine today, however, appear to show what looks GameCube game Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness running a 3DS.

As Kotaku points out, the character shown on the scans is Michael -the main character from the GC quest (http://www.google.com/search?q=pokemon+gale+of+darkness+Michael&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1042&bih=533) - and the upper screen of a 3DS appears to be displaying the map screen of Agate Village from Gale of Darkness.

While the original game was fairly decent, a remake of a so-so GameCube spin-off probably won't have the Pokémon community grabbing their Pokeballs in excitement.
