A website has been set up for Pokemon Gray at pokemongray.com. The site has been registered by Melbourne IT Digital Brand Services.

Melbourne IT DBS also set up pokemonblackwhite.com, which is Nintendo of America's official site for the most recent Pokemon games.

Each new Pokemon game launches with two separate versions, such as Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, and is then followed with a third version, such as Pokemon Platinum. Considering Pokemon Black and White are the most recent Pokemon games, Pokemon Gray is a logical title for the third version.

We've reached out to Pokemon Company for comment and will update this story with any information we receive.

Not news, just bad journalism. Registering websites to protect trademarks is nothing new, and "Pokemon Gray" was registered a year ago. "Pokemon Aqua Blue" was trademarked way back, too, and ultimately didnt mean anything.

Also, pokemonbrown.com is registered by the exact same Melbourne IT Digital Brand Services, while pokemonopal.com redirects to nintendo.com.

So yeah.

This is just Nintendo doing trademark protection and domain protection in the off case that down the road they end up using it. Most the sites like IGN ect, are just reporting this to get website hits. As Adamant said, there is nothing new about this and is basically 'bad journalism' for the sake of getting website traffic. Thanks for posting the info but rather not post it as main news here for those reasons.
