The latest issue of CoroCoro revealed a large ammount of information regarding the new Pokemon titles as well as a new project named "Pokemon Ranger: Path to Diamond & Pearl" via an interview with Tsunekazu Ishihara, Junichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori. The confirmed DP features are as follows:
* Diamond and Pearl are confirmed to be on the DS, and both games will be released at the same time.
* The games will be able to connect to the Pokémon games for Game Boy Advance and GameCube, and Pokémon from these older games can be traded to the new games. (YES YES YES!!!)
* There will be a great number of new Pokémon, including pre-evolutions and new evolutions for exisiting Pokémon.
* Lucario will be in the games, but its role may be different than in the eighth movie.
* The games take place in a brand-new region, and CoroCoro hints that it may be high-tech, akin to Orre.
* It is possible that the way one starts the games will be different than in past games, where players pick one of three starter Pokémon and then fill their team with five more Pokémon. The men interviewed said everything is up for discussion.
* The games will take advantage of the DS's touch screen and its ability to link sixteen players together simultaneously.
* There will be no new types, but rather new type combinations, like Lucario's Steel/Fighting combination.
* The release is slated for some time not too late in 2006.
As for the Pokemon Ranger project, it's rumored to be either a new game project or just a new TV series/movie title. So, don't get your hopes up with that one.
