I have no clue what it's supposed to be, I kinda hope it will be a gen. 7 Pokémon, But I guess it has something to doSo..... what do you guys think about that new weird thing sketches?
Has anyone thought of the possibility that perhaps GameFreak will introduce the other half of 6th Generation's new Pokemon with the possible new game(s)/sequel(s)?
I remember how a friend and I first discussed XY. "Great! Amazing! But... Where's the rest of the Pokemon? Is this it? Only 69 of them?"
What if in a possible sequel (and I know this is all very speculative but bear with me), another brand new set of Pokemon will be introduced?
The creators have said before that they wanted to focus on story, design and gameplay quality over Pokemon quantity. I think even with this argument, it would be very much possible for them to pull a stunt like the one I have imagined and described above. They have had more time (from the end of BW2 to now and the near future) to design the grand total of these Pokemon after all, instead of everything having to be finished with the first 6th Generation games.
Another argument is that it would be a very attractive choice to make from a business point-of-view. It will give players a much better reason to buy the sequels/new game(s) than if it were just the same with a couple of small updates and a new Legend thrown in. It fits the strategy they have been pulling with BW2, where they also gave people a good reason to go out and buy these games (new story, new characters, a few new places, more Pokemon, PWT, etc.).
The only thing that bothers me is, how will the compatibility be between the 6th Generation games? We already know that ORAS Mega's can't be in XY, so what about all these new Pokemon? They don't like to spoil things (such teases), and the only Pokemon that had been found to have been programmed into the games were the Mega Lati-twins, Hoopa, Diancie, a few signature moves, Vivillon patterns, and Volcanion.
The other argument against my theory is that the new Pokemon thing from the trailer was bright green, which logically brings forth lots of associations with Zygarde. If it's with Zygarde, maybe they would go the 'normal' route after all, by upgrading a new/old Legend to be a bigger threat.
Perhaps my imagination is running wild on this one, but I'd like to hear what you have to say. Are you sceptical about this or do you agree? Or do you have other ideas on what this revelation may mean? What do you think?

Wrong. It may have been started by the fans, but Masuda himself used the term 'sixth generation' in his blog.Generations are a fan term used to separate batches of Pokemon.

Umm. Here's where it says that.Fine, either way, it's a new generation.
Actually, did he say that in English, or was it just a translation of his blog post?
That's impossible, as any new Pokemon lead to a new generation. Whether it's 1 or 1000. Generations are a fan term used to separate batches of Pokemon.
Why could it not mean a set of games acting in the same region in the same time period with the same main characters?
Awesome, thanks. Just wanted to check whether he actually said it, or if it was just added by whoever translated it. It's in the original Japanese as well.
But again, new Pokemon are a new generation. Just as having a child is a new generation for a family. Whether they have any relation to previous Pokemon, or even if the games are set in the same region, doesn't really matter.
By this logic, since they weren't released during the same games as the other Kalos Pokemon, Hoopa and Volcanion should be considered the 7th generation.
They were. They are in the game's data.
You don't seem to understand. They are in the games, they are BUILT INTO those games.But they were not accessible to us without hacking. So they hadn't been officially released to the public. The Pokemon do not appear in the game whatsoever and weren't able to until a new set of games was released. So, two unable to obtain Pokemon appearing in a different set of games than their regional family should be considered a generation.
OR we can say that a generation just consists of Pokemon appearing in a region in said region's original (non-remake) set of games.
You don't seem to understand. They are in the games, they are BUILT INTO those games.
They are generation six Pokemon. No other Pokemon exist.
I thought generations referred to major changes in software? Like, you can automatically tell that all the 'Generations' are different due to art style of the game, technical advancements, and so on.
I do understand. I'm just trying to prove a point. I don't believe it's logical to say that one or two new Pokemon appearing in a game sequel constitutes a new generational title.
Those have always come along with it, but aren't necessarily required.
You're not proving any point, though. The Pokemon were created for that generation, put in the games, to be released later down the line as events to keep up interest. This new Pokemon was not created to be put into X/Y/OR/AS and is not anywhere in the game's data.
