>Ahead of the new year, Game Freak have sent in their usual new years thanks letter to the Famitsu magazine. Within this, while thanking for a good 2018, they briefly mention 2019 in which they say that they are hoping to surprise players. At present they have not elaborated further but we'll provide all news about 2019 as it happens

They specifically told us to trust them about 2019 while they were shitting out LGPE. Which means that while everyone (even Game Freak) was aware of how terrible Let's Go would be, the 2019 games are guaranteed to shock and amaze us all by being complete ass in a way that not a one of us predicted.

That's really only been a thing from XY-on. Red/Green through Crystal was straight improvements, and through Black 2/White 2 each game was an unambiguous improvement over the last but with a few hiccups at the start of each new generation. It was only with the start of Gen VI that everything became a massive disappointment.
It wasn't always like this.
It didn't have to be this way.

I agree, but modern-GF is what we're stuck with. I started with Gold/Silver and played each new generation religiously all the way through B/W, and barring a few things here and there, I've always thought each gen was an improvement upon the last. Then X/Y came around and the difference in direction was night and day. They really cocked things up and have been on the wrong path ever since.

This is the planned Schedule for the next five years. It may be subject to changes, due to sales, economical situation and other political/economical factors of the world, but these are the current plans:
2019: Pokémon Jade and Pokémon Ivory
2020: Pokémon "Let's Go 2" - Pokémon Shining Diamond and Pokémon Shadowy Pearl
2021: Pokkén League Frontier
2022: 8th Gen sequels - "Let's Go 3"
2023: 9th Gen

Now let's go Into details, first of all generals:
The games will make the most of Switch engines, being more open world like.
All the new games will have following/rideable Pokémon and will get rid of the MN as Let's Go did. This will be a leitmotiv.The Pokémon who follows you is toggleable. The Pokémon following you will have an AI, this means it will move around while the character is standing still, could find some items, could interact with other pokemon or NPCs. More than this the games, especially the let's go serries, but also the normal ones will have a bigger focus on collecting: the player will be able to unlock emotes and behaviours of the pokemon, bonding with it. For example let's say you have a pikachu, he won't sit on your head until the friendship has reached a certain level. Or suppose you want to ride a bouffalant, you can't until it trusts you enough. There are other fixes about the following pokemon, for example it will move around if you want to walk over it, instead of returning in the Poke Ball like it does in let's go, or there will be hitbox fixes for bigger Pokémon. Bike will make a return and will be independent from riding Pokémon.

Pokémon Jade/Ivory:
We have a mainland, which is based off on India ad China, divided in two parts by a wildland of forests and mountains. The two parts are two separated "nations" which are both industrialized and technologically advanced, in competition for the control over the naturalistic part and its resources.
There are also one big island for each "nation" (Representing Sri Lanka and Taiwan) and more wild islands on the south (representing the south east islands).The player will start in the Indian part and will have to travel to reach the China part, in this travel he will have to cross the forest and there the plot will advance, introducing new characters and giving the player questions to answer and doubts about the situation.
The focus will be on harmony with nature and destruction/exploitation of it, in a subtle way.
The player will have to face the concept of taking its own path and making its own decisions altough being criticized for them or not being understood.
The two legendaries are ghost-dark (Ivory) and Dragon Fairy (Jade). The third one will be Grass Steel. There will be a total of 99 new Pokémon. (9 legendaries). Plus some "Alolan Forms" (which will not be Alolan of course). Megas And Z Crystals will be there (with something new). Crystals are more linked to nature, while Megas will be developed in the cities.
There is a sort of Gym system in the cities, but the wild people and Pokémon of the forest will give out some trials.
Essentially the two main legendaries want the player to prove himself worthy of them. They are at war and want the suppression of their enemy trough the player. The nature Pokémon would like to spread the forests once again all over the region, while the destruction Pokémon wants to to use everything that the land has to offer. The contrast is not so black and white anyway.
The trio master brings balance inbeetween.

Quoted By: >>37274188 >>37274200

The whole region is called Valia
Valian forms: Gyarados, Houndoom, Hoothoot, Politoed, Aipom, Girafarig, Octillery, Aron, Whismur, Trapinch, Stunky, Throh, Dragalgae, Oricorio (sort of)

Pokémon Let's Go 2:
Based on Jotho, there is only one thing to say except the obvious:
Only first and second generation Pokémon + alolan forms and valian forms.
As said before the games will have a bigger focus on collecting. Well, in this game we will have some aesthetic variations introduced. Depending on which species will be met these variations could be about different patterns of colour/fur, or different leaf forms. In a way each Pokémon will feel unique. Also the dimension of the Pokémon itself could change, so that a bigger Pikachu appears for real as being bigger than another one.
Starters will get a Mega: Grass Fairy, Fire Dark and Water Dragon.

Pokémon Shining Diamond/Shadowy Pearl:
Something has already been said, but anyway.
Legendaries will play an important role in the plot: Giratina is the main antagonist, altough controlled by Cyrus in the first part of the game, it will break free later on and act on its own.
Giratina feels anger and rancor for being reclused into the Distorted World. Cyrus manages to reach it and persuade it to seek vengeance against Arceus. To do so Giratina will kidnap Palkia or Dialga (Dialga will be kidnapped in Pearl, while Palkia in Diamond).

Quoted By: >>37274200

The player, lead by the lake trio, will find the other Legendary before Cyrus and Giratina can and in the end go face Giratina in the distorted world. At this point Giratina will Mega Evolve (like Rayquaza) and win the fight.
The player and Palkia/Dialga will be able to escape, while Giratina starts bringing the distorted world to Sinnoh which physical laws will start to collapse.
At that point the only way to solve the situation is to ask for the help of Arceus. To do so the player will travel in time or in space to go meet him and persuade him to solve the situation that in the end is fault also of Arceus himself.
At the beginning Arceus refuses, because he has decided he'll never help humans again. At this point the Player will go face Giratina again together with the space/time legendary. Also if the player will fail again Arceus will then see the purity of the player's heart and decides to intervene, reverting to its primal form (which is absolutely absurd in power and will surely be banned from every competition)
After defeating Mega Giratina Arceus discusses with all the presents. Giratina will be imprisoned once again, but if it can control itself it will be able to travel the normal world together with the player (so now the player can go and catch it)
Arceus itself says that wants to see if human's heart has changed and will eventually join the player later on, if battled and catched.
Some details: Dialga and Palkia will not have mega/primal, but will have a sort of Z move aesthetic change (like Lunala/Solgaleo)
Mega Giratina is more linked to the origin form than the altered one. Its total stat wil be 780, its ability Distortion and it will remind a bit of the Gravity move, but not only)

Quoted By: >>37274200

Primal Arceus ability will be called Virdict: its moves cannot fail and are always super effective.
Sinnoh will be explored in many different ways, trough time and space travel. Also there will be new parts of the region to visit in the South and in the West, as well in the sea.
Gastrodon will have more forms. There will be some new Mega and the variations presented in Let's Go 2 will be expanded to more Pokémon. Arceus space and the Distorted worrld will be explorable and there will be some Pokémon there, like Malamar or Aegislash.

Pokkén League Frontier:
All the Pokémon from the curren Pokkén will be there, but some will be changed a bit, like Decidueye Or Darkrai.
But there are some new ones: 6 from 8th gen, then Deoxys, Lopunny, Snorlax, Dusknoir, Gallade, Magmortar and Electivire, Heracross, Infernape, Emboar, Samurott, Sawk, Hawlucha, Bisharp, Golisopod, Tortunator, Tapu Koko, Tsareena, Blacephalon, Buzzwole, Kangaskhan, Nidoqueen, Feraligatr, Shiftry, Slaking, Ursaring, Darmanitan, Krookodile, Escavalier, Lurantis, Beartic.
There will also be a so called "little cup", which will feature "weaker" pokemon.

For the other Pokémon games the only thing that is known is that 9th region will be based off an European nation. Italy seems a good candidate honestly.
