GameFreak, the studio behind Pokemon, posted on its official website an image with a silhouette and a caption which translates to:

"The well known game, played all around the world, is about to be reborn thanks to a surprising collaboration."

"reborn"? That's quite a statement.

@Infinitywave

Per neogaf, apparently the name of the image is "OGP" which they speculate could be OG Planet, an MMO developer. Hmmm....

EDIT: In all likelihood, this is probably just another PKMN mash-up like PKMN Conquest, right? So, "Pokemon ... 's Creed" confirmed?

Original Gangsta Pikachu!

Finally the Pokemon franchise gets Shadow the Hedgehogged.

The thing is, I don't know what that horse looking silhouette would have to do with an MMO. Reminds me of the silhouette of Epona in the Scribblenauts/Nintendo teaser.

My real guess is Pokemon Derby, where you catch and race Pokemon instead of fight. Made by whichever weird Japanese company still makes horse racing games. :p

The horse looked a bit chibi to me, which made me think of some of the Harvest Moon games. But that would just be silly.

Looks like a donkey. Maybe it's a stylized Shrek crossover.

I definitely feel like it's gonna be a a crossover franchise like Pokemon conquest. So, what classic game could it be? Nothing off the top of my head seems like it would mesh particularly well with the Pokemon universe, but then gain, I would never have expected Pokemon to combine so well with Nobunaga's Ambition, either....

Poke Gear Solid? :P

I'd take a bet that it won't be as interesting as anything that's been guessed above. So... hopes not up.

The first thing that comes to mind with the silhouette is Viva Pinata.

That's probably not it.

OBVIOUSLY the game is a re-launch of M.U.L.E.

COME ON, PEOPLE, PAY ATTENTION.

I'm not going to lie, I'd play Angry Pidgeys. I'd feel dirty and awful but I would play it.
