Gaming Pokemon for the BIG Screen or Web?

[Necron]

Nintendo would never do that, simply becasue:

1. Adding all the regions would allow you to catch all pokemon, thus defeating the purpose of buying the two versions (yes, the versions are for that, not for some story purposes).
2. It would take too much time to develop.

Haha another thing why can't they make a Pokemon game that has ALL the GYMs and ALL the Pokemon in it? You know they can probably do that.

That makes too much sense, Nintendo would never do that.

 

[ponygals]

Hahahaha why not? Wouldn't it make the ultimate Pokemon game that all fans of the series would like?

It'd be way too long, and also, you level up throughout the game, so even the gyms will have level 100 Pokemon at a point in the game, and there won't be a difficulty increase anymore.

 

[ponygals]

So there's lots of Pokemon fans who still play training their Pokemon even at level 100.

I don't see Pokemon working out on consoles. At least the form it has in the portables. There has been some console pokemon games in the past, but catching pokemon wasn't the focus and was more story line focused. The versions on the portable systems had always had a major element dedicated to catching pokemon as well as singleplayer story line to match.


It's starting to look like Gamefreak might be going more towards the MMO route. Anyone familiar with the recent leaks regarding the "Super Secret Bases" in the upcoming Alpha/Omega Sapphire/Ruby games? One feature was supposedly the ability to make your own gym and challenge others to beat it. It would be cool if there was an online format to the game where trainers in the over-world were not just NPCs, but human players roaming about as well. This of coarse would require a online connection to work and would be quite the overhaul to how the games currently work. Perhaps they are trying to slowly transition into it?

 

[ponygals]

Hahaha perhaps so. I think a MMO would be awesome too. And they should really allow you to made your own trainer not just pick from the already made figures like always.

 

[RiddleMeThis]

For a series that's called "Pocket Monsters", I don't think it'll be ever on a console.

You guys are acting like a console with internet isn't able to supplement the sharing aspect of Pokemon.

Theres more to Pokemon than just trading. Its a game with exploration, a manner of which is not that uncommon to something like Zelda, and its an RPG, where the battles themselves were the soul selling point to the most popular console Pokemon games, Pokemon Stadium. Not saying that a main-Pokemon wouldn't, or shouldn't be on a console... I'm just asking why it couldn't be on a console.

And I'm just going to say that I've NEVER traded a Pokemon with a human being. Atleast I can't remember any time that I have. I've kept Pokemon a single-player experience until Nintendo made Pokemon battles convenient with Stadium and eventually Wifi, and I've always enjoyed main Pokemon games, and I always get excited for the next one coming, and I always buy the newest one. So I can't understand why the social aspect of Pokemon, the one thing I've never participated in, is somehow so important that Pokemon suddenly can't exist as a console game. I don't even leave my house with my handheld systems apart from my phone.

I'm just saying that trading Pokemon in person is overrated, and not a game-breaking feature if that aspect was taken away, or put in another form. Is Wifi and Amiibo not enough?

 

[ponygals]

I still thinking a PC version or a console version would be better. Or as I've said make a Pokemon game with ALL the worlds and ALL the Pokemon!

 

[fischermasamune]

Or as I've said make a Pokemon game with ALL the worlds and ALL the Pokemon!

Why would they create the definitive Pokémon game? To be their last?

 

[ponygals]

It wouldn't be their last they can keep going.

 

[DinohScene]

Ninty will prolly make such a thing to rescue to Wii U.

I dun have high hopes for it tho.

 

[Ra1d]

It will probably never happen,but a full 3D PC Pokemon MMO is a huge opportunity lost.

Each region could be an expansion.

You start in the 1st region,level up,catch pokemon,beat the gym = finish the story.Then you just go looking for rare pokemon,improve their stats,hunt for legendaries and stuff.
After a year or 2,release a new region = expansion,new pokemon,new gyms,new story.Same cycle.
Etc,etc.

The cool thing is,they could still release their handheld games which would sell,because for obvious reasons the MMO would be way behind the new handheld game regions/pokemon.

as much as i love Pokemon, i know i will never see a Pokemon game showing us a brand new region, beating elite four and so on like in the handheld. I believe is more the lack of proper developer skills rather than Nintendo refusing to bring it to the Wii (and now the WiiU).

What i mean by that? well it is simple, look how Pokemon X/Y looks amazing but still works like if you was playing Pokemon Emerald. They did an amazing job on the graphics but the code and how the game works is almost the same archaic code with a new paintjob.

The only thing that makes Pokemon X a 2D game is camera angle. It plays like a 2D game but is far from the GBA days.

And you can't even predict Nintendo's moves 6-months in an advance. And by using the word never, are you implying that you intend to die by old age or freak accident, before Nintendo ever decides to bring the core Pokemon experience outside of handhelds? Because never can be a long time.

 

[Gary The Great]

i hope to be wrong of course, but so far they havent and has been over a decade of people wanting/hoping to see something like that to happen, alas i will enjoy my Pokemon games in my 3ds regardless.

 

[Ericzander]

As for being able to "catch them all" in one game, good luck with that dream. They sell two versions of virtually the same game (different badguys and pokemon being the major differences) every generation for a reason.

The least profitable thing for gamefreak to do would put out a pokemon game on the Wii U with every pokemon available.

However, I would love another game like Pokemon Colosseum and XD. Those games were awesome and self-contained.

 

[ponygals]

Has Pokemon X or Y made it to the ROM world yet?
