X and Y to headline massive Pokemon push
Hot off the newsof a new Pokémon reveal, it seems as if the Poké-hypetrain is starting to leave the station.
Speaking to MVC, the Pokémon Company (which is responsible for the brand Game Freak created) conveyed that 2013 is not just the year a newPokémoniteration is set to launch, but “the biggest [year] inPokémonhistory”, where they aim to please both “series veterans and newcomers.”
More franchise properties, likeGates to Infinity,Pokémon Rumble U, and a new TV series and at least one film are launching in 2013 in addition toXandY, the latter of which will have the franchise’s first simultaneous worldwide release.
Of course, this could all be marketing speak, andPokémon XandYcould just be the same oldPokémonwith a polygonal veneer. But as a massive fan, I’m still excited to see what they deliver. I also still can’t believe how far they’ve come ever since I slidPokémonRedinto my Game Boy’s slot in 1998.
