Pokemon fans may need to brace themselves, as the latest speculation suggests that news on a big Pokemon game looks to be on the way. Pokemon Sunday is rumored to be making an announcement on May 10th. Fans are predicting that remakes of Pokemon Gold and Silver are in development since gold/silver party balls could be seen in a preview, though nothing is confirmed at this point. Meanwhile, both Coro Coro and Nintendo Dream plan on revealing a new title in their next issues. All of this put together most likely means that some huge Pokemon news will be shared in a few days.

Instead of an RPG, Dragon Quest Wars may be focused around strategic elements. Square Enix filed for the trademark on April 23rd and it was approved on April 27th.

“There surely will be. I really can’t think of any reason why not, if everyone’s heated support continues. When it is said ‘Nomura will do III,’ I can’t say we haven’t thought of anything.” – Hasegawa-san

I can’t say I’m entirely surprised by this news. The question is, will Kingdom Hearts 3 end up on Wii?
