There it is ladies and gentlemen. OUR KING HAS SPOKEN
He's only saying the same thing we already knew for 20 years
I don't give a shit about what joe says.

>new pokemon = new generation
what did he mean by this
>>25810369
>>25810132
no no no
new starters = new generation
Alright, then I guess Gales of Darkness was Gen 4.
>>25810449
This
>>25810449
This. More accurate considering the retarded fucking marketing saying new megas = new Pokemon
what is
all ORAS megas
BW Kyurems
Skye formemés
>>25810557
Alternate forms of already-existing Pokémon, not new Pokémon
>>25810557
New formes not new Pokemon. They still have the same Dex number
>>25810557
only people who want to argue actually considers megas a new pokemon. its just a mega of an old pokemon.
So BW2 is a new gen because Masuda stated Kyurem's forms were new Pokemon
Gale of Darkness is under the gen 3 section of his site even though there are new Pokemon in it
Serebii is a fucking retard. Mechanics decide gen.
>>25810567
>>25810568
>>25810574
nah nah nah senpai familias, listen to the wise sages who actually consider how the pokemon company talk about these additions to the franchise (as new pokemon) and how they are coded into the game (as separate pokemon, not the same thing)
What about cross gen evos and baby pokemon?
Daily reminder that GameFreak thinks Megas = New Pokemon
>>25810639
That's fucking retarded. They don't even have different numbers in the PokéDex.
>>25810450
what new pokemon were introduced in le XD
note: shadow pokemon are not new, they just alternate forms, not an entirely new dex entry.

>>25810449
the only correct answer
>>25810679
shit are you serious?
>>25810679
but celebi was gen 3???????
>>25810691
Yes, and Munchlax too.
>>25810659
I agree it's retarded. But that's what the fags at GF said when Megas were introduced
>>25810709
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE what the heeelll
>>25810449
Hang this post on the wall of /vp/
New Pokemon = New Gen would mean Platinum is gen 5
>>25810776
>no new professor
>no new starters
also
>no new pokemon
The pokemon that were unique to platy were just added for the first time to a game, by the time plat came out those pokemon were already established to be gen 4.
>>25810132
No King. Just a Messenger.
>>25810776
What new Pokemon were in Platinum? If it doesn't have a new Dex No it's not a new Pokemon
>>25810590
Forms =/= New Pokémon.
New generation = New Pokémon.
>>25810776
WTF are you talking about? Platinum just made those Pokemon more available, they existed before in Diamond and Pearl.
>>25810449
Why do we give attention to this answer? Has there ever been a game introducing new (non-mega) Pokemon that didn't introduce new starters along with it? For all we know Sun and Moon could give us Charmander/Bulbasaur/Squirtle again but introduce other new Pokemon and still call it gen 7.
>>25810954
But that's not going to happen. Stop making up stupid hypotheticals.
>>25811047
Of course it won't, my point is saying "new starters = new generation" is effectively the same thing as "new pokemon = new generation"; except the latter is more broad and can would work with plausible situations like the one I described.
>>25810590
here's your reply
>>25810625
Dex number.
Also you don't need a mega to complete the pokedex.
>>25810728
Next gen Pokemon have always gotten minor roles in spin-offs. This isn't new.
New region=new generation
Prove thats not sound logic, faggots
