Mystery Pokemon title isn't what you were expecting photo

While it was a fun exercise to discuss Pokemon spin-offs that desperately deserve a revival, as expected, Dengeki Nintendo DS' big reveal was for some silly thing -- in this case, an arcade game. But not just any old arcade game: Pokemon Battrio.

Japan is getting a new version of the title, updated to include the gang from Unova. And that's about all there is to this story, my lovely audience primarily made up of people not living in Japan. There is still a glimmer of hope in the form of CoroCoro, another magazine promising details on a new Pokemon title.

Look for more on that in the June 15th issue. Alternatively, I'm sure we'll get something to go on at E3. It's clear that actual, relevant games are in development, so it's only a matter of time before we get to hear about them. One can hope, anyway.

No new Pokémon video game announced this month after all [PokemonAus via GoNintendo]

I third what Onyx said! Pokemon Stadium 3 with online battles and minigames that can also be played online!

Technically, Pokemon Battrio is Japan's Pokemon Stadium 3. They play it on Pokemon Sunday sometimes and it looks pretty good. Unfortunately, that means we'll likely never get a new Stadium or Battle Revolution type game in the West.

I'm still convinced it's going to be a tie-in with Ubisoft. "Pokémon Babyz" I'm convinced...

I'd love to see a 3ds pokemon snap where your game is in stand by and you walk around in the real world until your 3ds beeps letting you know a pokemon is near by and you must use your 3ds to find it augmented reality style to take it's picture.... Just sayin.

Jesus Christ no.
I remember me and my brother both paying £20 for one of these machines.

These were times when we only got money at Christmas and birthdays.

And this piece of shit didn't even work. And to think we entertained the idea of Pokemon Snap 3D.

Yup, Pokemon is STILL not being taken seriously...

There is no point in a new Pokemon Stadium game anymore (but it would be nice if it they actually tried and didn't make crap like Battle Revolution...), not with the rise of online connectivity.

We need a new Snap dammit.
