Pokemon GC Revealed

Just a few short weeks ago, Nintendo's own Shigeru Miyamoto told the Japanese press that the company was underway with a new Pokemon title for GameCube. Very few details about the game were released, but Miyamoto did promise that it would deliver many of the traditional role-playing elements missing from other Pokemon games.

Today, first screenshots from the title, which is set for a tentative Japanese release in 2005, showed up in overseas magazines.

The publications seem to know about as much as we do about the game -- or in other words, next to nothing. But the screens show a combination of stylized visuals and text-based character interactions. We expect to see a lot more of Pokemon GC in the coming weeks and months, but in the meantime feast your eyes on the first couple of in-game shot, scanned directly from the Japanese magazines.
