In an announcement today, the Pokémon Company has revealed that a brand-new Pokémon RPG is set to be released later in this year for the Nintendo DS. Further details are unavailable at this time.

The article mentions that the game or games will feature a brand-new region and brand new Pokémon, leading many to believe that these games are the currently hoped for fifth generation of games. This would be an interesting turn for the series to take, as two generations have never shared the primary console; while Generation II could be played on a regular Game Boy it was designed with the Game Boy Color in mind.

The February 2010 edition of CoroCoro, due out in only a few weeks, is set to reveal a "surprising announcement", which could be related to this game, as well as the upcoming Pokémon movie, Phantom Ruler Z. With no Generation V Pokémon yet revealed, this would make for the shortest amount of time between the revelation of a brand-new Pokémon and its debut in the main series.
