What we know:
>The Pokemon Company had Switch dev kits since 2015 (may be unrelated to gen 8)
>The games started development in 2016 at the latest, with Game Freak hiring that year
>USUM was a side project by younger staff with a team of about 50 people. The veterans were busy with the Switch games
>Localization of the games begins very soon
>Masuda is currently composing or finalizing the music along with Shota Kageyama

I think they will be more NPC interaction
maybe more detours/"side quest"
with X and Y trying a bit with the friend group and sun and moon with the little detours the captains and kahuna's had post fighting them

It just means that the game isn't going to be as open world and game changing as botw and mario. I. Still hoping for a really good game that's better than gen 7

A little of 100 mons, and 10-20 regional forms hopefully not just gen 1 this time

70ish like XY, maybe a bit more 76 or 77, but not more because they don't have time to create over 90 pokemon in 2 years

They most likely have hundreds of unused designs at the ready. If the switch game is bigger than the last few they can't get away with barely any new mons

This is the next big leap for the series. Hopefully we get a little more than 100.

like 30 new mons, at the very Most.

Active Time Battle that takes some very very basic skill like Kingdom Hearts level instead of just "PRESS A BUTTON CONTINUOUSLY" The Game.

Still only 4 moves.

HMs return to ruin everyone's fun.

Not enough moves.

Possible: no Bank access. Free standing game instead like Coliseum.

Competitive will change drastically owing to actual skill being needed and not just mechanical strategy, guessing games, and RNG.

- 84 new pokemon (Total of 886)
- 24 regional variants (6 more than last time)
- 75 new moves (Total of 776)
- 24 new abilities (YES, 24. 256 in total. Some of them related to new weather and field setters)
- Regional dex of ~400 Pokemon.
- Keeping ol' known and loved battle system, better interface and a bit more quicker.

In the field of wants more than predict:
- At least half as big as BOTW world or even Odyssey.
- SOME POST GAME
- No nostalfag-feeding features.

Which is that the next Pokemon game will not be BotW-like open world physics sandbox game.

80 is the bigest you're going to get in this gen.
Gen 9 is another beast, 100+ there might be more pausible.

70-80 new pokemon isn't that bad either.

We already know a Q3 release is pretty unlikely.
Job listings and the fact that the music is being composed points to Q4 2018-Q1 2019

I'll take the bait
If Pokemon takes no skill, then why are all the top players consistently at the top?

Never ever thanks to murricans being seemingly allergic to snow. Enjoy your third tropical tourist region with plenty of tourist attractions!

This has been confirmed many times throughout the different generation development times. They always have a huge squad of Pokemon sitting in the wings waiting. But even beyond that they can churn out hundreds of Pokemon a piece in only a few months. They set the number themselves. I guess I don't expect many people here to remember, but during the dev cycle for Black and White, Sugimori was asked about how they design Pokemon and he pointed out that in gen 5 they wanted about 150 new Pokemon, because they wanted it to feel like a truly new experience. And they had 16 artists on staff, so he told each of them to go out for like 2 weeks and come back with 10 designs a piece. And then they work shopped the ones he picked and chose out of those 160 or so. But he was also open about the fact that most of the artists (including himself) came back with way more than 10. I think this was the same story where he revealed that he hated Lillipup right up until the end of the development cycle.

But creating Pokemon is like the first thing they do when they make new games, and they get that shit done fast. Having 2 years or even less time to do that wouldn't actually effect making new Pokemon at all. They decide the number from the start, it's not as though they're continuing to make new Pokemon right up to the very end of the dev cycle. That would be insanity.

They've already confirmed bank access. That was one of the first pieces of news we got. Right after GF saying they received dev kits.

Quoted By:

Game Freak is really utilizing forms to expand the list of pokemon without expanding the dex.
We've had cosmetic forms like Florges and Minior, stat-based forms like Gourgeist and Lycanroc, alternate movepools like Meowstic and Lycanroc, alternate typings like Oricorio, and all of them together with regional variants.
I'm expecting 12 new regional variants, at least one new pokemon with cosmetic forms, and one pokemon that has form variants with either alternate typings or movepools (or both)
The actually totally brand new pokemon count will be under 90
The post-game battle facility will make the Maison and Tree look like a godsend.
The existing pokemon amiibos for Smash Bros will have absolutely no use, for better or worse. The next pair of games (remakes, 3rd version, whatever) might have amiibo support, but dont bet on it.

Like in kingdom hearts, where you just spam attack and cure to win.

To add a bit on this: We know the reason why the number is limited is to not make the number of Pokemon too big for kids.

Let's remember that this game is meant for kids.
