“It’s Pikachu!”

That newly announced Pokémon RPG? It looks like it will actually be the start of the fifth generation of Pokémon games.

Pokémon Sunday, a Japanese variety show focused on showing older episodes of the anime, revealed the silhouette of the first new pokémon that will be in Generation V. No name was given, but it was announced that the mystery pokémon will play a central role in the thirteenth pokémon movie, Ruler of Illusion Z.

The TV show is promising a full reveal of the new pokémon on February 21.

I still think it’s too soon to introduce a new game into the main series. HeartGold/SoulSliver just came out late last year in Japan and they are promising this new game will be out before the end of the year. At least for Diamond/Pearl they waited two years after FireRed/LeafGreen.
