We always hear it with every new generation: Pokemon is going downhill; the Pokemon are less creative/original than before; the creators are running out of ideas; Pokemon is getting boring/repetitive. How many of us have said this, may it be a spurt-of-the-moment reaction to new information or because we truly believe it? Is it the truth? Think about your own enjoyment of the games. Overall has it grown over the years or waned? And do you see yourself still actively enjoying it 5 years down the road?
Smart move. You aren't missing out on much as it is basically following the same generic story. Except for the fact they've thrown in more pokemon now that you would care to remember...
It's growing, especially since it get's Wi-Fi, it's a very competitive game, but the story is meh.... Who cares, the competition is fun
new ones were FAIL, actually as soon as there were more than 152 pokemon it was FAIL. I still play Pokemon Red (no not fire red, the first red for gameboy, not even in colour). Played the new ones for DS but it wasnt any fun, I didnt even know any of the pokemon. I used to know all 152 pokemon off my head (and embarrasingly probly still do ).
Yes, but most games now are taking advantage of the online multiplayer experience. If pokemon want to offer more to its fans it needs to really step their games up a notch. I for one would like to see a remake of the blue/red/yellow basically as a 3rd person rpg on the wii because as it is now its mostly the fanboys and girls keeping it afloat.
Yep, getting too repetitive alright. Most of the new pokemon are too gay looking. Sorry.. Yellow and Crystal were my favourite. The remakes of Red and Blue are stupid.
Actually let me rephrase that, red and green I think, yeah there are remakes, FireRed, LeafGreen you know.. They kill it though.
ok right I thought those were different games, havnt played so I wouldnt know if they were remakes or not.
I think fire red and leaf green were also like red and green but only renewed and then added a bunch of new features so that it could link to other games such as sapphire and ruby cause their goal is you "gotta catch them all"
I enjoy playing through each one as they come out. although with each successive one I'm becoming less and less inspired to catch all the legendary pokemon in the game, I don't think I caught any of the extra ones when I played pearl. I know it's partly aimed at kids, but I think they should up the difficulty of puzzles in game and get a new story going, maybe some sort of war between the different island regions where they still fight with their little monsters.
Well I think the Pokemon games are aimed at kids, to introduce them to RPG's, start with the obssession to "catch them all" as a kid, end with the obssession to "pwn them all in the online mmorpg" scene as an adult
that looks like a goos idea I think pokemon will be much better and exciting when combined with puzzles from zelda or golden sun
I think what some of the guys are hinting at is Nintendo or Game Freaks should up the scales a noth & introduce the Pokemon wrld onto an mmorpg scale. Where people can freely roam & battle anyone, something just like in the "Pokemon battle game" in games, jokes & random stuff section Or form guilds/alliances & battle in an epic pokemon war
War was just the first thing that came to my head for whatever reason, but if all the fighting is still done between the pokemon then they could still easily avoid having death by having them run away when their pokemon faints or something similar. It could also account for people besides trainers being everywhere waiting to fight you if they are invading you/you are invading them. Also, maybe they could use some sort of rank system instead of earning badges for those that like that sense of achievement and the military could give you a starting pokemon instead of getting it from professor whatever. I know it might not have been a brilliant idea, it was just an example.
