New Main Pokemon Game Announced

via IGN


HeartGold and SoulSilver are still the rage amongst Pokemon gamers, but Nintendo isn't letting Pikachu and crew rest. In Japan today, the company announced that a new main entry in the series is being developed for DS.

By "main entry," we mean a game in the line of titles that includes Red & Green, Gold & Silver, Ruby & Saphire, and Diamond & Pearl. The new game is set for Japanese release this year, meaning it will come four years after Diamond & Pearl's original release over there.

Nintendo did not share details on the game today, only hinting that it would have new Pokemon, take place in a new region, and feature new gameplay concepts.

But with the announcement out of the way, and with a 2010 Japanese release, expect to start hearing details shortly.

if they can put in all previous regions in this game, i'd probably play it. if not, then pokemon is getting kinda old
