Nintendo, Game Freak and Creatures Inc. have filed a trademark for Pokémon Adventure Camp, which is possibly a new Pokémon game. And, if it something new, then it’d made sense for it to be released on the 3DS, although we can only take stabs in the dark for the moment. Leave a comment with what you think it might be. If you turn out to be accurate, you win bragging rights.

  • shadows

    Holy shiiit I think its something like the one where u catch pokemon by dooming a circle

    • Craig

      How can you “doom” a circle?… You mean draw a circle – and this isn’t Pokemon Ranger anyway.

    • TOBI

      Its pokemon ranger Lol hahah that game sucks ,,,

    • shadows

      Sorry i meant draw

  • randomguy

    Something absolutely unrelated to the main series.

  • Rentaline

    Isn’t this really old?

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/MrMicroRed MicroRed

    yayyy another spin-off pokemon game. just what we wanted…

    • Captain Falcon

      Exactly WHAT do Pokemon fans want?…

    • lamp 64

      well, what I would want are the oppritunities in catching, training, battleing, trading, wifi matches, gym leaders, main story line, a “team” to pursue, battling gym leaders, elite 4, former champions, and ur rival.

      thats pretty much my want in a pokemon franchise (taken from a fan for 17 good long years).

      the other spin-offs are ok, but pokemon adventure camp just sounds like another pokemon ranch….and i promise u, that game sucked ass….
      no effence to those who like it.

      so, i think id stick with black and white 2, but i look into it time n time to see whats its really about.

      cant judge till ya see it right?

    • http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1695137/ Sarah

      Pokémon Ranch wasn’t even supposed to be a fully-fledged game; it’s more like an interactive storage system. Personally, I like the idea of spin-off games, but whether the game itself is good or not… Well, it depends on the game itself. The Mystery Dungeon spin-offs are literally my favorite games in the franchise, main series included.

    • Craig

      Lamp 64… Ranch was never intended as a game – it was intended to store Pokemon, while having stuff to do while they’re on there so it’s not boring.

    • http://www.fixedillusion.com Mayker

      As a Pokemon fan, what I want is as follows:

      -3DS. The DS shouldn’t even be getting new games. The 3DS has been out for well over a year.
      -Animated battle sequences, like in Black/White, but in 3D
      -Option of going to other regions, like in Crystal Version
      -Secret Bases of Sapphire/Ruby, except updated into your own custom Pokemon gym, exchageable through StreetPass.
      -NO MORE NEW POKEMON SETS. Maybe SOME new Pokemon, but I’d rather have better integration of the different generations. It would be nice to have Pokemon from other games not be reserved until after the Elite 4
      -Co-Op Multiplayer. Not sure how to pull this off, but it would be nice to run around in a different world, catching Pokemon you can’t find in your version, working with your friends to train and stuff.
      -DLC or expansions or something. Know how you get an extra story feature when you download certain Pokemon (Darkrai, Victini, etc)? Like that, but BIGGER.
      -Deliver on the awesome quality of Pokemon games of the past, except Diamond and Pearl which were terrible.
      -Fix the battle system- turn-based mechanics are fine, but fix everything underneath
      -Don’t reserve things for the stupid Battle Theme Park thing. If I want to teach my Feraligatr Ice Punch, I shouldn’t need to do 150 battles.

    • sam3ds

      Yeah, but this is an Additional title. Dont forget, pokemon black and white 2 are also in the works.

    • TheRolesWePlay

      @Mayker

      I have to disagree on a few things.

      -New Pokemon are a great way to introduce new blood and mechanics. It allows the series to expand in ways most series can’t and to take that out is foolish

      -Fix the battle system? I assume you don’t play competitively or else you wouldn’t be saying that, at least not so bluntly.

      -The Battle Frontier is meant to reward the competitive players by giving them access to better items, and moves, so I don’t agree with removing it or its prizes.

      Also @ Captain Falcon
      I have no clue. Take it from a competitive TCG (and somewhat competitive VGC player) Pokemon players are a lot more indecisive than other fandoms due to the competitive and casual portions having wildly varying opinions.

    • http://www.fixedillusion.com Mayker

      @TheRolesWePlay

      -New Pokemon; I understand that, but there are like 700 Pokemon now. Rather than trying to bring back older Pokemon, they get abandoned, and replaced by newer ones. Sure, they try to fix this with remakes, but still, the 3DS is out now, and FireRed was now two hardware generations ago. How am I supposed to get a Squirtle on the next big Pokemon game?

      -Battle system; Pokemon is a game that really appeals as being highly accessible. But when the battle system screws fans just trying to play casually, it needs fixing. I shouldn’t NEED to play competitively to enjoy Pokemon.

      -Battle Frontier; But that wasn’t my point. While I am sure there are plenty of people who used to like it, my point was that they would reserve items for the Battle Frontier that you couldn’t get otherwise. I would much prefer alternatives, rewarding the exploration and observation aspects of the series. I hated the menial grind that the Battle Frontier forced one through for no experience points or anything but essentially valueless Points, and only a few at that. It didn’t seem like competition to me- it seemed like work.

    • YAMCHA DUCK

      What do I want? How about a Pokemon game on Wii U with Kanto being a huge open world that you (the trainer) explore freely. Y’know, put it in Monolith’s hands as opposed to Gamefreak. You see Pokemon roaming around the land, flying, swimming, acting in their natural habitats, following their instincts. If you want to engage battle, the battles start seamlessly: in real time as opposed to going to a different screen, and you can catch them from there. Battle system would be moving your Pokemon in real time and performing simple attacks with buttons, while doing stronger or special attacks could be done with Wii U’s touch screen. You could also chain attacks. Oh yeah, and give it a good story and dialouge, plus an orchestrated version of the 8 bit soundtracks and we’re gold.

      Yeah, I’m a dreamer. But hey, that’s what I’d love to see a Pokemon game become…

    • Tyrandeus

      just remove the stupid dream world!

    • http://www.youtube.com/user/MrMicroRed MicroRed

      what YAMCHA DUCK said

    • TheRolesWePlay

      @Mayker

      -I assume you mean the fact that BW had no older Pokemon…which was the point it was meant to be an entirely new location, with only new Pokemon, and all of the old games have featured old Pokemon, and even given new evolutions and pre-evolutions to many of them. And as of how are you supposed to get your cherished starters from older games, there is the Transfer machine, a mechanic that has been present since DP, and if you don’t have FRLG or R/S/E, then you can get them in HGSS. All Pokemon are available in the generation 4 games, and the same will probably happen this generation too.

      -How does the battle system screw over casual players? The battle system leaves plenty of options for normal gameplay, just like any other RPG. If you’re talking tournaments, then why should a casual player get priority over those who have slaved for months to build their team?

      -The Battle Frontier is again supposed to reward your long tireless battles with something you can actually use. (Something some games could learn from IMO), and if you like exploration, there’s already plenty of that in any Pokemon game.

    • lamp 64

      @Craig like i said…in my opinion

    • lamp 64

      @Mayker i too read your comment and i must agree that what u want as a pokemon fan is similar to what i want except in details, but if we were think ing the same, id say that the oppritunity to change cloth depending on situations is also on ur list (but u may beg to differ).

      i just said that because during wifi matches, you wouldnt have to look like the same boy character or the same girl character . u’ll have a totaly diffrent outfit that fits your character as if you were a real trainer.that’ll be nice
      example:
      surfing: bathing suit
      fly: sky goggles
      dive: snorkling equipment
      hiking( rock climb): hiking equipment
      going to snow point: winter cloth
      or even being dressing for pokemon contest.

  • The Video Gamer

    It’ll probably be in a similar vein to Pokepark and Mystery Dungeon but with a different hence an Adventure Camp. I reckon it’ll be for the 3DS though no one will care because we want a main series Pokemon game on 3DS.

  • schmammal

    I predict a crappy spinoff, pokemon dash escue.

  • darkrosekid

    im calling that this will be on ds with the way they are going n if it happens to be on the 3ds then im sad to see only spin-off are being made on the 3ds

  • Crimson

    Man stop doing spin off’s when are they gonna make a new pokemon mystery dungeon game for B and W I love those games and it would make sense that they should make it right?

    • Craig

      I wish they localized the Mystery Dungeon games on WiiWare but they didn’t…

    • http://gravatar.com/elffcc Big E

      Hilarious! You say you don’t want spin-offs but ask for more Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Ha!

  • ZeldaCrazed

    I think it will be a Pokemon game that uses battling like PokePark instead of a turn-based system.

    • Craig

      My honest opinion is that it’s like Hey You Pikachu but better… and for the 3DS.

  • my name is of no importance

    my pokemon ranch type game? and this is off topic but does the wii u blog have a facebook page?

  • cm93

    must me some camp fire shit where pokemon gather and go on adventures?

    maybe… :D

  • Brendon

    Pokemon Snap-ish sequel….maybe…? I really hope so. I’m getting very tired of waiting for my Snap sequel!

  • MeGusta

    I wouldn’t really mind if this was a Pokepark type of game. Thats if it comes to the 3DS.

  • http://www.fixedillusion.com Mayker

    In this game, you Pokemon go head-to-head in some sort of battle/competition. If it is not a main-series Pokemon game, expect mediocre to poor reviews, and if it’s on the 3DS, expect people to buy it anyway, while the rest of us wait for an actual 3DS Pokemon game.

  • BOB

    **NOT A NEW GAME**
    I can’;t remember the exact details but it was basically a place with demos and merchandise, not a game.

    • http://gravatar.com/elffcc Big E

      I do remember hearing/reading about that…I just can’t find the article on bulbanews.bulbagarden.net

  • mustbepbs

    This…looks like..

    Why are they sinking money into games people don’t want? I want a new Pokemon game in the main series. Not even Black2 or White2, just a fresh new game.

    Call it Pokemon World and let us traverse the entire Pokemon globe! They’ve got to do it eventually..

    • CaseyJay

      i agree.. what would be better! imagine if they managed to mix the plots of all the games some how.. You’d finish off say, kanto, and catch all your kanto pokemon.. then when arrive in sinnoh you have all the new sinnoh pokemon to collect only in that area.. like in the cartoon how Ass.. Ash starts catching all the pokemon again in each region.. the only issue would be by the time you got to the newer regions all our pokemon would be level 100! unless there was some way they took all your pokemon off you some how after each region and you could only get them all back at the end of the game.. i don’t know

  • Potato

    thats pokemon ranger

  • Elctric

    If its like mystery dungeon and has battles like pokepark and then i’ll get it :D

  • SakuMo

    I predict Gen V’s “box” game, i.e. this Gen’s Pokemon Ranch. Which honestly, I’m excited for, because my boxes are chock full on White.

  • SakuMo

    Maybe this is the Gen V stadium game that was rumored in the works ages ago. Either that or this Gen’s “box” game.

  • DanDroid

    My first thought was a pokemon themed Amusement Park, like the one they have in Japan … But I know that’s just wishful thinking :(

  • Belinni

    Sounds less like an actual Pokémon game to me and more like a literal camping trip. You know, sorta like how they do with the tour buses and the airplanes?

    I’d find it amusing if it really was some sort of theme park/camp site with a Pokémon motif, people finding huge eggs that are oddly colored, gold and silver feathers strewn about, tipped trees and snorelax tracks, that kinda stuff.

    It’s Japan and it’s not like they have anything better to do with the series aside from making games, anime and running a store!

  • Lazerith

    No guys… Maybe this isn’t a game… Maybe its an actual camp!? Maybe they will brainwash us to bomb pearl harbor!!!

    • Eragon Fowl

      I can see them making multiple camps around the world based on pookemon and more like theme parks than camps.

  • Sean

    It doesn’t sound too promising.

    It sounds like it’s related to those Pokemon theme park games.

    It would be nice if they surprised us with some cool pokemon wilderness survival game though. Like a mix between Lost in Blue and Pokemon.

  • http://nintendo3dsblog.com Jono

    MMO for the Wii U. calling it now.

    • cancelln

      I really hope your right

  • TheRolesWePlay

    I doubt it’s another game. Ranger 3 came out last year, it doesn’t sound related to MD, PokePark came out not too long ago as did Rumble Blast. And we’re slated to get Nobunga and BW2 in the coming months.

    My hopes a new better anime than we have now. What it probably is, some Japanese event like Battle Festa. They do those quite often.

  • http://passid.ca/paulio LazyKite

    pokemon snap all over again!!

    • ゼロ

      Sorry didn’t see that post, but I agree.

  • ゼロ

    Something like Pokemon Snap

  • millsy

    Pokemon Adventure Camp sounds like a Pokemon Ranger. I think it’ll be like a Battle Tower where you verse unlimited amounts of trainers. You win, you get money and XP, you buy stuff to make your Pokemon more powerful.

  • millsy

    I hope it’s Pokemon Snap! Using Gyro-controls, you can go to different places and see what Pokemon are there! You can save the pictures and send them to your friends! It would also work well on Wii U.

    • Natto1995

      and what if they looked realistic, you know not animated 3D actual real like animals.

  • Nintendo Gamer

    Let me guess…The next Battle Revolution place where you stay at an adventure camp and battle until you win?

  • Flootenkerp

    should be a new dungeon game wii style… =) hope this one has complete pokemons… spin-off games usually have less pokemons (except dungeon)..

  • Bewoulf2000

    Thought this was like an actual camp that you could go to out in the woods and play with pokemon cards or learn to be a better player. That would be so stupid and awsome at the same time.

  • Bacon Boy

    PokéPark 3DS (in a nutshell)

  • tkdkbw

    3DS version of pokepark.
    Easy to predict.

  • LaLaLa

    dang, I wanted to go to a pokemon themed summer camp :(

  • Holylifestar

    I hope it’s something like Pokemon Mystery dungeon, or possible a real time combat pokemon.

  • http://nintendo3ds.wikia.com J. Severe

    I don’t care what it is. As long as it’s a good game, I shall buy it.

  • Jairo

    Two ideas come to mind.

    Letter 1: FINALLY (but lease likely the one that will happen) an MMO PKMN game for 3DS or Wii U. I mean, “Adventure Camp” I dunno, just fits in, y’know? Like you’re a trainer going to a camp with, bamillions of other players.

    or

    Number B: Something along the concept of Pokemon Snap, another type of Pokemon game I’ve been waiting for.

  • Salance

    We need a pokemon snap itsreally one of the few spinoffs I like

  • Milun

    Pokemon Adventure Camp…….. that better not be another way of saying “Pokepark”. The titles seem quite similar.

    On another note, PLEASE DON’T LET THIS BE ANOTHER POKEMON RANGER!

  • Hunter

    I expect some sort of online event, similar to the Camp Hyrule that Nintendo used to do.

  • http://www.gamesradar.com GameManiac

    *Shrugs shoulders*

    Hell, I don’t know.

    • Big E

      I know what it isn’t: a game.

  • Bob

    Pokémon Adventure Camp…

    It could be a Pokepark game for the 3ds, a new kind of spin off or Nintendo has found a way to genetically create Pokémon and are working on makign a profit putting small children in an artifically created ecosystem full of the creatures.

    The latter is the least likely, but probably the best of the 3.

  • SuperLuigi

    It’s going to be a summer camp themed game. With Pokemon. And adventures. And Pokeballs.

  • Dae

    Sounds like Pokemon Channel or Snap sort of material! >:3

  • lopez909

    IT COULD JUST BE ANOTHER POKEMON SNAP!!!! JUST WITH A DIFFERENT NAME

    • JAMIE

      I think they would keep snap so your statement is invalid…

    • Dae

      @JAMIE, Pokemon Channel was the sequel to Pokemon Snap.

  • JAMIE

    All I know is that if its for the big 3 Ill buy it…

  • JAMIE

    I think it will only be a 3D Pokemon game where you camp in the woods with other Pokemon encountering other Pokemon on the camp and shit… :B

  • Mikex124

    I think what we REALLY what is a game where you walk around outside and ar pokemon come up and you battke and fight them.

    Who’s with me?

  • Mikex124

    I still can’t believe they’ve been going this long

  • Mikex124

    I wonder if the Pokemon Wotld really IS real, galaxyies and galaxies away

  • Shigeru Miyamoto

    Actually, it’s a trip to a secret island that is inhabited by Pokemon that are scientifically created by the scientists of Nintendo. The camp will provide campers a chance to tour the island while watching the many species of Pokemon in the wild. Admission will be $50 for adults and $10 for children.

    • Jairo

      Dunno ’bout anyone else, but that would be pretty cool. Even the people who hate Pokemon would have to admit it would be awesome.

    • http://www.youtube.com/user/justiceflares Justiceflares

      OMG MR Miyamoto. I can’t believe you actually read the blog. Plz youtube me your friend code or something. lol

    • BOB

      XD You fail Justiceflares, it isn’t the REAL Miyamoto-san. Or was that sarcasm of yours? Couldn’t tell. :P

    • Natto1995

      Real pokemon! I wish well hopefully someday it will happen, something like Pokemon: Apokelypse but way better. THE WORLD OF POKEMON.

      POKEMON=ANIMALS THEY R THE SAME SO JUST REPLACE ANIMALS WITH POKEMON Problem solved >:P

    • http://www.youtube.com/user/justiceflares Justiceflares

      @BOB what !?!?!?! it isn’t the real Miyamoto?

  • Colaman-112

    At the beginning of the game, you leave your Pokemon there (just like in Ranch). Then they disappear, and one of the Ranch’s pokemon goes to find them. You play as him. You find your pokemon one at time, and then you can play with them also.

    OR

    Have you seen Pikachu’s Vacation? Adventure camp is place like that, and you play as pokemon.

  • pokemonfaan

    That title doesn’t sound very good… Looks like another ridiculous spinoff like pokemon ranch… -_-

  • Roy Lagendijk

    I just figured.. What if it’s like the Dream World website, except for Black 2 and White 2? Or Something like Pokémon Ranch, just with more depth.. or something.

  • Natto1995

    :D hope its worth the wait…

  • hamish

    I think its like a pokepark, but its a pokecamp!
    Pokepark 3!
    YAWWWWWWN

  • Pac-Man1096

    I have a felling this isn’t a new Pokémon game at all. It’s possibly something intended for Black and White 2 similar to the Dream World.

  • Shayse

    It’s most likely going to be a camp of Pokémon! You will be playing as a Pokémon and you go through camp where you can earn badges! You will discover new places meet new friends or Pokémon! It might even have battle arena or something like that! So it’s basically like Poképark but in a camp! It could also have a reverse effect where you go through camp and as you go through camp you learn about Pokémon! Like how to catch them, their weaknesses, their type, how to use potions, antidotes…etc. You might encounter things on your way (sleeping Snorlax). You might also get to play as your own Mii character. The game also could be not anything close to any of this!!

    • Shayse

      It might not even be a game! Like a new Anime! Like those Pikachu shorts.

  • Lance

    What the Pokemon Ranger series doesn’t suck its fun and great 2D pokemon animation and searching for/riding legendary pokemon.

  • Sillstaw

    Sounds to me like a potential website.

  • Kct16

    …or you know it’s a could be a Pokemon adventure park :/

  • PurplBananah3D

    I dont know it might be similiar to Pokepark…

    • PurplBananah3D

      Except maybe with trainers, like that Pokemon Stadium thing, possibly using Pokedex 3d graffics, if it is for 3ds, anyway.

  • Boosos

    Its my opinion, I would like a pokepark in the 3ds…. just my opinion. dont wanna argue with no one

  • http://youtube.com/The8Guys Dylan :D

    i heard its supposed to be like a mix or pokemon ranger and pokepark i hope its real :D

  • http://youtube.com/The8Guys Dylan :D

    its like the old pikachu shorts that came with the pokemon movies i loved them :)

  • Dylan

    I hope It’s like pokemon stadium ; I loved that game so much i played it for like 3 years straight with no other games bought within those 3 years :)

  • Pikagivemeyourmoneybitch

    another lame cash in? well yup!

  • Waaqob

    how do you guys know this isn’t a game? It could just be a convention or a summer camp for pokemon fans
