Nintendo Japan has, by way of the latest issue of Dorimaga magazine, revealed an all-new Pokemon title, scheduled for release in the country in mid-September.
Essentially, Emerald is to Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire what Yellow was to Red and Blue and Crystal was to Gold and Silver. If that seems a little confusing, investigate our archives, or just give up: the world of Pokemon is fraught with some of the most terrifying gaming danger one can encounter.
Pokemon Emerald will bolt together the Ruby and Sapphire offerings into one cart with Rayquasa taking the lead. Two new characters, a boy and a girl, are also thrown in, as is a handy GBA wireless adapter.
We’ll bring you news on the possibility of a western release as soon as we receive any details.
