>>16597379The Backpacker that gives you the Strange Souvenir states that he comes from a different region, with its own League and Champion, and then states that it isn't Kalos or any other main series region, and the caps this off by saying "You'll see it soon enough".
That's a pretty fucking big hint, especially by Game Freak standards. The last time they blatantly indicated what they were going to do next was with the Lake of Rage broadcast at the start of DPt, which was subtle enough that people were still caught by surprise by HG/SS.
The only weird bit is that the dude says "YOU will see it soon enough", which would imply that the X and Y protagonist will carry over to the game(s) featuring the new region... which could end up being yet another application of Pokebank, namely, transferring your avatar across games like it's Ash motherfucking Ketchum.
>>16597513...Where did Gen V ever suggest that Hoenn remakes were coming? The fact that it (and Gen VI) both made sure to emphasize that they occurred AFTER the events of all previous generations should've been enough to overturn whatever "evidence" the Hoennbabies found. Hell, Masuda outright denied working on a Hoenn remake in an interview, instead of being elusive and teasing on the subject.
And I was predicting "Octarine", the color of magic, for the games after B/W. Partly as a joke, and partly because the fact that Freeze Shock and Ice Burn didn't seem like the kinds of moves that could co-exist on the same Pokemon, so there must've been something strange coming.
