Yes, unfortunately there will be new Pokemon this time around, however the entire game world engine has been revitalized. For years the Pokemon in-game worlds have run with a top-down classic RPG style, by October we will have a more Final Fantasy style 3D game world.
Additionally, the battle engine does not appear to have changed from what little we see in the video, however attack animations are fully 3D and great looking, in my opinion.

I really like the new direction. I love pixel art sprites and I'm glad they stuck with them for so long, but it's nice to have Pokémon actually change at its core instead of being the same game over and over with new monsters and maybe one or two gimmicks.
It looks very colourful and impressive, like a good cartoon.
>>2-san pretty much summed up what I wanted to say.
I love pokemon, and I'm glad that they're finally announcing a 3D version (since I bought a 3DS at launch and there haven't been that many games that interest me.
I've been watching my money lately, so I don't buy games on a whim anymore; I only buy them if I know I'll enjoy them or are part of a franchise I already like (Zelda/Pokemon/Animal Crossing, etc.) I just don't have the disposable income that I did as a teenager, but, I will be getting this in October when it comes out!
If anyone else gets it, we should exchange friend codes and trade stuff!!

Yes, let's use this thread for that. And for what news comes out up until then, of course.
I most definitely play the shit out of Soul Silver, it, and its Heart Gold counterpart, being the remakes of the second gen games and I love it. It's great. And the pokewalker it great fun.
(I played Diamond when I friend gave it to me for free, but I skipped over Black and White and their sequels. The Pokemon after gen two progressively got weirder to me. They were less and less like mythical powerful creatures from the natural world to cartoony robot things. Which is a weird thing to say when it is a cartoon, but that just proves the point more. I mean come on, there's a chandelier monster, a washing machine monster, an icecream sunday monster, come on. )
My only problem is that when I went out to buy Soul Silver, that was about the time that B2&W2 had come out, everybody was playing those and there was not many people playing through Soul Silver and Heart Gold by that point. I'm going to get a 3DS for this, and I'm going around to all my friends on board.

So this little fella got revealed: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sylveon_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29
And more on the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHiHpa77-xc&feature=player_embedded
And then in the new games, it is rumored that Mewtwo will be getting two new forms. An image of one of has been floating around 2ch and 2chan but it is unconfirmed, so maybe the whole thing is a hoax. Which I am hopeful for because I feel like you should not really change up the monster that was the strongest and hardest to catch out of all the legendary ones from the first and second generations.

It looks like they just took away details and surgically attached his head to his butt.
Looks like that Mew*** looking guy is a new monster entirely!

I hope Sylveon = Sylph = Air type. I'd like to see them desperately shuffle around the existing types to see what they come up with.
Well shit! Looks like we're going to be able to ride our pokemon. Look at the screenshot in the lower left corner.

I've also found this, but I'm about 80% sure it's fake. Posting just in case.

I'm hoping for a light type. It could beat the one to beat dark types with and air might have some overlap with flying type.

The thing see riding by a player, it's called Go...goat. Creative.
So it looks like you can choose to play as a Sweede, a Brit, or an African.
