oh right forgot about them,i was trying to mention the free to plays.
great games tho,the mystery dungeon ones. blue rescue team was the first game in which i teared up.
Yeah, FTP games are typically shit, though I'm gonna try out Go. I liked Ingress, and Niantic made it.
And same. I think the games should be nicknamed Pokemon Mystery Onion.

ah...ur right about that...but u got to have a choice b/w 2 cool legies,right? and if they put everything into one game,then their sales wud crash,bcoz in pairs people get a choice.
but i agree wid that.
I rather play pokemon Yellow, Crystal and emerald, least they have all the pokemon in the game. Seperating specific pokemon by game won't damage sales so much since pokemon you do find are random encounters and just means more time trying to find them.

Now and days it works but before when we had only link cables it was either a excuse to go and buy two systems with each game to get the pokemone you want (Since there was no way of knowing which game had the pokemone you like best) and also if you had no friends to play with.

Pokemon games had always encouraged people to make friends, and interact with people as well as have fun with them. Is nintendo mentality that been presenet always and i understand that. But is not as easy as ASH makes it just walking around with pikachu who doesn't even use a pokeball and get attention while trying to collect badges and save the world from team rocket.

If the game was more like the tv show, I would buy pokemone without hesitation but we never gonna get something so simple.

No they don't, and not a single game in the main series has ever had them all.

Besides, with the introduction of internet trading that whole complaint is pretty much invalid, you don't need to buy multiple games to "catch them all" anymore, or have friends who buy the separate game, you can easily just trade for them all.

As for Pokemon Go, it was never going to be anything but an Ingress clone, anyone expecting any different is/was delusional.

That was my point, since internet wifi is a thing, link cables are useless and online trading is possible. :)
Also if i was wrong then i am glad, it just means i like it even less that they don't have a pokemon game with all the pokemon in it. But to be honest i don't much like trading, to be honest i dunno how others feel about trading, but you got people out there who wanna trade for pokemon they cannot get in the game they have, but what kind of pokemon they want? Probably your legendary or any one time only pokemon like even in gold and silver. One time starter? Of all the other pokemon for random encounters they want to have "THAT" one pokemon you can't get again unless you reset the game and start over making it possible again. Since when did pokemone became about sacrifices?

I dunno, pokemon is a well crafted RPG game for kids, it reminds me of dragon warrior monsters, when you can capture and train monsters to fight instead of the characters fight but "Gotta catch em all" Games are widely popular for some reason, I dunno why, It seem more like a hobby for collection enthusaist or completionist.

yeah ur right

Battling developes trust, as in team work, trainer guides pokemon to do their best and win victories and evolve, would you listen to someone you cannot trust? Probably why some pokemon disobey trainers, cause of trust issues.

You need a visit from professor oak or any other NAME BRANDED TREE PROFEESORS OF THE POKEMON WORLD? :P

I acknowledge that Pokémon Go is lacking, but I really want to play it so goddamn much.
I never go outside, I never meet new people and I never have reasons to do so. But something like this seems perfect seeing how a lot of people in my small town are starting to play this.
I don't care how much stuff it has or doesn't has, it's just nice that I have a reason to go out and do something with my life, something I tried to do with Ingress back when it was released but no one really played that poor thing.

IMO everyone needs to chill. The game isint 100% bad (It mostly is.) But to some users who can't even afford a real Pokemon Game this may be good(ish) I tried actually playing the game for about 1 - 2 hours and I actually enjoyed it, I also for whatever had lived right next to one of those battle locations, and some Poke Shops for "free" Poke-balls the main mechanics of the game are okay (I didin't try the battle system yet.) But from people actually trying the battle system they have said that was pretty bad which is where I think it gets most of its reputation from. (And the walking!) You could also find them *anywhere* in the world... Even on the highway so yeah :unsure:.

It's not exactly so horrible it's just that the main system of the game seems like that. I actually thought it would be pretty stupid to go walking outside to 'find' Pokemon myself, and walk to get those *free* ;) Pokeballs since it serves as a "Destenation A, Destenation B." Type of thing. (You only get three.) I also found out that there were "special" locations that rewarded you with I guess a legendary Pokemon or something.

So if anyone wants to get the game. Sure try it, but don't take the game so seriously as if it were a real Pokemon game. Or else you will end up like this...

In my case I tried to lower my expectations because I thought it was something that only looked good on the blueprint, but the result would be bad like it often happens with awesome new things. But instead I got something amazing this time. Putting down this game is really hard for me except when it rains because I live in Sweden .-.

Many people do like pokemon, is a revolutionary kind of game, i may be exaggerating but it kinda is. Just cause you are a certain age type, or gender, doesn't mean you cannot enjoy a game. So a game was made to target specific group of audience. Doesn't mean someone outside those targets won't appeal to it. No shame in it either. Whatever you like shouldn't be a problem cause of what kind of people it was supposed to get attention for.:)

Nice calling me out.
Would rant on this but it's not worth my time...

There is something called morals, and beliefs. Maybe your jelly?

hmmm...but sometimes i feel that its too childish for me to play fire emblem and pokemon,whereas everyone at my school is interested in gta and call of duty and fifa. whenever i mention pokemon,they always start telling me about how kiddish the anime is,and when i try mentioning the games,they are clueless. pokemon even ruined my reputation at school,bcoz it was considered to childish. my crush laughed at the fact that i play pokemon.

I don't understand. :mellow:
I was just saying there is nothing wrong with liking games that may have been intened for kids even if you aren't a kid. What i say wrong? :unsure:

Well who cares, they aren't your friends if they make fun of you for stuff like that. I doubt is cause of pokemon, it might been a nintendo thing since it is a nintendo console. Regardless of why, just ignore them, you aren't gonna stop playing cause you like it, you not gonna go buy call of duty cause you don't like it. So if you are happy and comfortable playing the game you like then it shouldn't matter. Just keep doing you. Also i would prefer a actual pokemon game to GTA or call of duty. But i just need more motivation to play it or like it. As for pokemon go, i haven't tried it, and i don't think i want to. But when did nintendo started making cellphone apps? O_O

A lot of my friends are 15 - 16 years old and they enjoy both Nintendo Products, and Sony (GTA & Pokemon :P.) There's no shame in playing something you like.

To people who call you out becuase you don't play a "manly" game becuase you're a "man" are ass holes, and want to change you becuase they don't think your cool. I have had a few friends in middle school who have tried doing that to me when I was playing stuff like Little Big Planet, or other games like Infamous.

If people truly don't accept who you are then they are butt's.

only people disappointed are those who expected anything other than what was advertised.
i think it was pretty clear that this wouldn't be like pokemon red or anything.

also those living in rural areas and suburbs, cause theres no pokestops there so theres also barely any pokemon
