Gen 5 Discussion.

[Prongs]

<@PikachuTrAiNeR> hmm
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> We're getting there soon then
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> In like.. a month?
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> 2 months for league and Grand Festival
<Prongs> More than that.
<Prongs> Much more.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Not more than 4 months in total
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> We'll have to wrap up proceedings by August
<Prongs> Can be.
<Prongs> 25 episodes needed.
<Prongs> At least.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> hmm yeah
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> 6 monthsish
<Prongs> Then there is HGSS.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> So much for HGSS lol
<Prongs> 50 eps.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> o.O
<Prongs> Or maybe 45.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> 50 eps?
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Why?
<Prongs> Like BF>
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> no way
* Prongs nods
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> There's not going to be one this season
<Prongs> ?
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> No promotion for HGSS :\
<Prongs> ?
<Prongs> Who said so.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> 5th Gen says hi
<Prongs> I reported it.
<Prongs> So I know that.
<Prongs> But no,
<Prongs> HGSS has to be there.
<Prongs> Palmer has made an appearance.
<Prongs> And Ash wants to beat him.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> nah, not gonna happen
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Palmer will be the new GS Ball
<Prongs> lol
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Platinum is old now
<Prongs> Nay, I think not.
<Prongs> HGSS is not old.
<Prongs> They may throw Ash in Jhoto.
<Prongs> They will rather.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> The BF is not new to HGSS
<Prongs> But still Jhoto is.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> They've already done that kind of promotion
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Kotone special says hi
<Prongs> Maybe we will have something like Chronicle.
<Prongs> But no,
<Prongs> I think not.
<Prongs> It shall be BF.
<Prongs> For Ash,
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> The main series will be on hiatus for a month
<Prongs> And he will win.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Care to explain when this BF will air?
<Prongs> Lesse,
<Prongs> later this year.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> -.- I mean.. it's always on hiatus before a new Gen
<Prongs> Anime will obviously start next year.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> If gen V is out around november, there will be nothing airing mid-october onward
<Prongs> No,
<Prongs> I think they will promote the new game through BF.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Unlikely
<Prongs> Like they did with DP.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Theyve already promoted HGSS enough
<Prongs> But not the new games.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> o.O
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> The new games will be way more important than HGSS
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> The focus will shift to them
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> The Sinnoh league will be the end of D&P
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> I cant see any other way
<Prongs> I can,
<Prongs> THey will send them to Jhoto
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Why?
<Prongs> Where there would be many Gen 5 Pokémon.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> The games were out LAST YEAR
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Why promote them mid-2010?
<Prongs> Not yet in US!
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> That doesnt make any sense
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> -.-
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> o_O
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> They'll air in Japan to promote the franchise in the US?
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> TPC doesnt care about TPCI
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Japan is the largest installed base for them
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Not the US
<Prongs> It makes sence, they can send Ash in Jhoto where he will caom across Gen 5.
<Prongs> *come
<Prongs> And he may showcase older Pokémon.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> That makes NO sense
<Prongs> THey can't jump BF.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> The new region will be the main focus
<Prongs> Palmer and all.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Why can't they?
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> They can.
<Prongs> -.-
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> What about Hikari?
<Prongs> Dump her.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Yeah, right.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> And call the series D&P?
<Prongs> She is not cute enough for Ash.
<Prongs> Kotone may come.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> You can call it X&X, and then have the series in Johto?
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> That makes no sense at all
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> [X&X = Next Gen.]
<Prongs> It is same like last time.
<Prongs> They used BF to promote D&P.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> That was before the release of the games
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Not after
<Prongs> They will need to show Gen 5 in the Anime.
<Prongs> And they haven't done that yet.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> That can easily be done during the league
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Blaziken in Johto league, remember?
<Prongs> hmm...
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> That was so much more awesome than the way D&P was advertised
<Prongs> But they had shown Kacelon much earlier.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Though thats probably because I wasnt anticipating AG then
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Yeah, but that was different
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Wasnt shown as new Pokemon
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Just a regular Pokemon-of-the-Day kind of a thing
<Prongs> O_O
<Prongs> So?
<Prongs> Thats how they showcase them.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> hmm I dunno
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> That was just one
<Prongs> And always Pokémon have had there screening nicely done.
<Prongs> I think they will kick in BF.
<Prongs> With the Brains having Gen 5.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Not enough time for it
<Prongs> We have.
<Prongs> Like 1.5 year(s)
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> The new region starts around November-December
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> :\
<Prongs> Nah.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> 1.5 years?
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Nov-Dec 2010
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> >.>
<Prongs> 2010 is the planned year for the Game release.
<Prongs> Like 25 Dec.
<Prongs> More like 1.2
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Like 21 Nov, you mean
<Prongs> No.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Yes.
<Prongs> -.-
<Prongs> They need time, they just started.
<Prongs> It shall take 1 whole year.
<Prongs> I think Christmas.
<Prongs> brb
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Well, yeah, but still less than a year away
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> And they didn't 'just start'
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> That happens a long time before the official announcement
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> A long, long time
<Mewtwo7> Idk why you and Shaurya have to mix up HGSS with the US release -.- it's not that the Gen V game is releasing in US THIS year
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Me?
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> o.O
<Mewtwo7> no, Prongs
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> oh
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> is releasing in US THIS year <- in Japan, you mean?
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> lol
<Mewtwo7> it's not that <--
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Oh Gen V
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> lol
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> read that as HGSS heh
<Mewtwo7> they think HGSS isn't yet released and already a new game is coming out -.- that's their deal
* @PikachuTrAiNeR prods m2 to fb
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> >.>
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> lol
<Prongs> a
<Prongs> BF has some interesting Characters,
<Prongs> I want to see them on screen.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Not gonna happen
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> HGSS/Plat was stuff of last year
<Prongs> So?
<Prongs> They may do it.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> What 'so'?
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Waste revenue?
<Prongs> And I guess they will.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> I don't think so.
<Mewtwo7> you want them to show the 'new region' in the game this year, but show Johto in the anime instead?..
<Prongs> They need some stuff to last till Feb next year.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Why Feb next year?
<Prongs> Because Anime will start then,
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> The next gen Anime premeres on the release date of the games
<Prongs> following the games.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Not next year
<Prongs> ?
<Mewtwo7> Games and Anime release together
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> yep
<Prongs> They just started.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> With a 2 hour special
<Mewtwo7> as if you've gone to check what's up internally
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> What did?
<Mewtwo7> lol
<Prongs> They may not release it this year after all.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Are you crazy?
<Mewtwo7> who said they just started?
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> They've pinned the release date to 2010
<Mewtwo7> what were they doing all this while after HGSS?
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Yeah, and the engine's already ready
<Prongs> They said it is planned year.
<Prongs> Engine is?
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> The game engine
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Overworld, Battle
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> That's what takes time to build
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Not the story and graphics
<Mewtwo7> Anyhow a Battle Frontier lasts atleast a year, if it starts this year, it'd end next year end.. You think the game will release that late? lol
it'd end next year end.. You think the game will release that late? lol
<Prongs> hmm...
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> One more reason to not have it release late is the DS2
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> It'd clash with launch titles
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> bbl
<Mewtwo7> And they don't always need to air something, they often cancel airing of PM due to something or the other
<Prongs> They may push BF in with Galactic Battles.
<Mewtwo7> -.-
<Prongs> ?
<Prongs> They may
<Prongs> TO quicken it.
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Thats impossible
<Mewtwo7> they DON'T have the time, lol
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> yeah
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Like.. just a few months to wind up DP
<Prongs> LIke 10-20 eps?
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> 6 to be precise
<Mewtwo7> 10-20 eps and BF is over? lol
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> Dont forget baseball
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> heh
<@PikachuTrAiNeR> This is TV Tokyo
<Prongs> ....
<Prongs> The BF may be like in the games.
<Prongs> All in 1 city.
<Mewtwo7> as if all they air in the anime are battle episodes
<Prongs> That will be fine by me.
<Mewtwo7> yes that's the point, you want a BF, and you want it to air anyhow despite the lack of time, so it's all just bout you
<Mewtwo7> lol
<Prongs> -.-
<Prongs> They can't just 'jump' it.
<Mewtwo7> HGSS launched LAST year.. the time to show Johto was then
<Mewtwo7> not now
<Prongs> hmm...
<Mewtwo7> Just because once they air BF doesn't mean they will always, it's not a crucial part of the anime
<Prongs> Then how do they showcase Gen 5?
<Mewtwo7> in the remaining D&P episodeS?
<Mewtwo7> there are 6 months, duh!
<Prongs> That is much less then the others.
<Mewtwo7> Doesn't matter
<Prongs> To them it does.
<Prongs> Its main advertisement is Anime.
<Mewtwo7> D&P has already been running for 4 yrs
<Prongs> Yeah, that is
<Prongs> The problem.
<Mewtwo7> no
<Mewtwo7> that means its going to end
<Prongs> lol
<Prongs> Can't say no to that.
<Prongs> It is.
<Prongs> But it may last a BIT longer.
<Mewtwo7> you're again at the same loop
<Mewtwo7> there's no time
<Prongs> 6 months.
<Mewtwo7> so there is still the last badge, plus the league
<Mewtwo7> plus fillers
<Mewtwo7> plus baseball
<Prongs> lol
<Prongs> I guess there is sense.
<Prongs> But how do they fill BF.
<Prongs> Anyways, gotta go.
<Prongs> *anyway.
<Mewtwo7> June 30, 2005 to September 14, 2006
* Prongs lol
<Mewtwo7> is how long Battle Frontier ran
<Mewtwo7> see?
<Mewtwo7> <Prongs> But how do they fill BF. < no one cares, lol
<Mewtwo7> HGSS is partly old now, and will be completely old by the end of the year

Gen 5 fever?
