Pokémon It's the Pokemon thread - Part 1

[Matt Mortem]

I still haven't beaten Black version. Damn I'm lazy

 

[Lily Adler]

I'm a little bummed that it's not for the 3DS. But who cares. I wonder what more they can possibly do.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I can't seem to stop loving everything Pokemon related, despite being in my 20's. Somethings you just can't let die from your childhood

I'm writing a paper about Pokemon for my video game design class. Not as much fun as it sounds.

Look upon one of the Pokemon creation stories. There's tons of untapped potential you could discuss.

Maybe this will serve as some inspiration.

A sequel? I need to sit down...

My first thought was "1st direct sequel? Intresting" But as I think of it, is this just going to be gold/silver thing of neighbour regions again. That was why gold/silver is an awesome version of the games.

I would like them to have the option of the HeartGold/SoulSilver thing of pokemon walking behind to back. I loved that!

 

[craigdbfan]

I don't think we've ever gotten a part 2 to any of these games just continuations with different colors/regions/pokemon or remakes.

This will be the first time there's a direct continuation. I'm interested.

Shame this isn't on 3DS.

i got White for Xmas... and I've only gotten to the one city with the poke musical.......................

I hope you'll be able to transfer all of your pokemon over at the beginning of the game. If it's really a true sequel, you should be able to, and it would be a nifty aspect.

Yeah it would. Might actually force my hand into buying it. As of now, I'm pretty done with the Poke franchise. I was so bored by Black. It was disappointing IMO

 

[spideyboy_1111]

I hope this mean's there's going to be new pokemon? i mean.. it'd be kinda lame to collect them all... and transfer all your stuff to a new game... and already own everything? or hell... skip 1 all together, and just play 2.

there's gotta be some kind of incentive.. right?

 

[craigdbfan]

I can't wait until they make a Pokemon game with all the regions. I doubt Black & White 2 will be that game though.

So this is a Direct Sequel to a 3DS Game but its not on the 3DS?

Black & White were made for the DS not 3DS and yeah they're a direct sequel to both B & W for the DS.

I can't wait for them to finally make a Console Game

Or an MMO at the very least

 

[Scarecrow_King]

yeah, I would play the hell out of a pokemon game on the Wii. A real pokemon game, not one of those stupid pokepark pieces.

 

[WolfCypher]

Not convinced its a "sequel" (new region, 100+ new Pokémon, new characters). This is probably a new-fangled twist on the "special edition" version...instead of just releasing Pokémon Crystal to accompany Gold and Silver, they just decided to give us Gold 2 & Silver 2, if you will.

 

[Lily Adler]

I sure hope that's not what it is, but I'm pretty sure it is. Those bastards should have just given us Pokemon Grey and be done with it.

We don t need that IMO. The Pokemon franchise has always been a handheld thing to me. The Main games will stay on the Handhelds, the consoles will only get worthless spin-offs.

 

[louiebling$]

Myself personally would love for a BIG Open World Pokemon Game that coldnt be reached at the handheld level I'm talking Fable/Final Fantasy type game....concept alone sounds awesome lol the pokemon concept alone could be an even BIGGER franchise and could appeal to a broader fan base if they only moved on to console or even a MMO....I myself am a huge pokemon fan but I haven't been getting recent games because I don't by handhelds....don't have the time for them or money when I already have a console...I've kept up on the games...just haven't played them...last game I played was Fire/Red and Leaf/Green...which is sad because I really wanted to play the soul silver but didn't have the funds to get a ds...nor did my wife find it needed when I have a console lol

 

[SpideyVille]

I was the same way. I never got a DS so I never played any game after Crystal. Though I did borrow my nephew's DS last year and played LeafGreen, HeartGold and Black after renting them from Gamefly. The games are still fun as addictive as ever, but I'm not sure I'll play the new sequel until months after it comes out.

But I agree, a 3d RPG on a console would be awesome and long overdue, but I feel like certain things wouldn't transfer as well. Such as how wild pokemon and how loading time will affect the pace of the game. Not to mention the big thing of pokemon was always catching and trading to collect them all, so how would that work? Sure online could make it easier, but then it takes away from actually finding friends to trade with if every pokemon is available somewhere online.

Its tricky and risky, but I hope one day they decide to make one, at least based off the originals.
