Just when you thought the upcoming augmented-reality game might be the closest you’ll ever get to real-life Pokémon, a Japanese company has announced an actual Pokémon Gym.
Opening Nov. 19 in Osaka, the Pokémon Expo Gym is described as a “hands-on edutainment” facility where young Trainers — and probably more than a few older ones — can receive tips about training their (obviously real) Pokémon.
Among the Gym’s programs are “Charizard’s Battle Colosseum” and “Gardevoir’s Control Score.” There will also be a “Pokémon Expo Gym Gear” app, which will allow Trainers to track their rankings and progress.
Whether the Pokémon Expo Gym will expand beyond Osaka remains to be seen, but given the growing reach of the pocket monsters, it seems pretty likely.
Nah, Nintendo didn't hold off on anything. People keep underestimating how long it takes to make a new Pokemon game due to the way the timing on the last few releases have gone. I'm fully expecting the next game to be a "Z" version that's at least as comprehensive as BW2 was and that's a lot of work.

I'm tentatively interested in it, but there's a dearth of reviews. It's definitely a game I need to read about before I decide whether to drop money on it.

the gameplay looks like the kind of thing I've been wanting Pokemon to evolve into for a while now
is that a Muk in the background
I wanna play Yo-Kai Watchhhhhhh
well Game Freak is an independent third party company so
yes
I mean I would think so
edit: and so is Level-5, so they are absolutely competing
they just both happen to release for the same Nintendo platform
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
They all look terrible.
Then you finally prompted me to look at the designs.

They almost look kinda like monsters from dragon quest monsters but I feel like the names wouldn't be anywhere nearly as clever

Or ZX/ZY's, even.
Man is it fun
The battle system is super active
The best way I can describe it is you're constantly working on other stuff while the fight is going on
Either charging up super attacks or adjusting your lineup or healing your guys that are currently hanging back
That does not sound like fun to me.
I wonder if I could pull that off
Probably not but I'll do it anyway
Quiver Dance everything to death.
Yeah. YEAH! I'll be over here with the well-designed monsters like Mr. Mime (he's a mime) and Seel (a seal).

"That is the first time I have seen
a Tauros riding a surfboard."
It's delightfully pedestrian. It reads like radio drama dialogue so that people will know what is going on without seeing the pictures.
There are certainly plenty of them, but its going to be a team of wet tissue paper.
Volcarona is technically a moth.
!!!! It'd be crazy if Mewtwo wasn't also playable on the WiiU version.

As a Canadian, I'm anxiously checking news on Hoopa. Apparently Americans will get it via McDonalds later this month? No word yet... on poor Canada...

It has the wrong ability
I'm crying forever
I love that they made a middle school kid's fan pokemon a boss in pokken
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
It doesnt have any real legs no. Only the cat mascot is really popular with kids. Im shocked since elephant that makes you piss is a classic/ sarcasm
consider that there are now people working at the pokemon company that played pokemon in middle school
Oh my god you're right.
Mine was a flying slab of concrete that, looking back on it, was just a Geodude ripoff.
Well you can always sell it to Yokai Watch they'll call it Moncrete. It makes your shoe untie
Hooray, it's about time.
I don't really see the point honestly.
