New Pokemon announcement coming on Jan 8th

[Flame]

Their 1st 3ds game better make a bigger effect than their first DS games
Diamond and Pearl were broken.
Platinum fixed the mess, but I'd hate to have that again

what was "broken" with Diamond and Pearl? both are great games.

noone seems to be interested in a 3ds pokemon trading card game, huh?

after building up the online tcg, it should almost be a logical step. course, it'll work so you need to buy booster packs to unlock new cards, but whatever, it'd be a trading card game

+1 for TCG. I loved the both the GB versions. Liked the graphics of the online one. I'd kill for a 3DS ver. Ahhh if only they had kept the e-reader. That would have been perfect XD

Hmmm, no fire types in the whole damn region besides chimchar and ponyta (I'm not even lying) and the story just seems incomplete, not to mention the story wasn't as good. Team Galactic were a lot better in platinum, And I dunno why I didn't like Barry too much.
They were just a bit basic, I only started to notice more as I played through Platinum. But D/P just seems to lack what the others have.

battles were slow. terribly slow.
that's about it. also, some people constantly were troubled at some point because a gym leader wasn't in their damn gym <<

It will take time to me to have some money to buy a 3DS, so, I only have a DS, sorry for being selfish, but you and I know how taxes make consoles expensive in our country.
EDIT: basically DPP is 1 game, HGSS is another 1, BW another 1 and B2W2 another 1, don't you think?

Even considering that way, DS was the handheld with most main-series pokemon games

GB - 1 game - R/B/G/Y
GBC - 1 game - G/S/C
GBA - 2 games - R/S/E & FR/LF
DS - 4 games - D/P/Pt & HG/SS & B/W & B2/W2

Considering that 3DS has more than a year, and sold more than 25 million units around the world,
I think it's a lot more appropriate for Nintendo to release it for 3DS.


I know consoles and eletronics in general are expensive here in Brazil.
That's why I bought my 3DS on USA for 130 dollars.

If you have any opportunity to buy it from USA or Canada, take the chance.
If you have a friend that lives in one of those, or if you know a good site for importing and not be taxed.

I've bought many eletronics from China and USA, I just asked them to send as a gift and it always bypass alfandega.

I agree with that.
That's one of the reasons I do not play Gen IV again,
it all looks slow and static.
B/W battle engine gives a lot more life to Pokémon battles.

The games did have a noticeably slow combat system. It was fixed in Platinum.

Also all the same issues with Pokemon RPGs over the years. Still I think I'd take it over R/S/E (although in retrospect I find them pretty average). Don't see why people put the third gen games up on a pedestal so much, I always thought it felt like a step back from GSC and the Pokemon designs were kinda lame. Although I started playing them when I was outgrowing the whole Pokemania thing (I played them all the way through though and enjoyed it) so maybe I don't have that sploogy "nostalgic" connection to them.

Although I really don't find that "nostalgia" has much of a sway on me since I can acknowledge the fact that I was a fucking retard as a child and my tastes in everything were absolute shit.

I know it's never gonna happen but............ I hope for Pokemon to come to 360 maybe even 360+Kinect (got a lot of great ideas, stories & modes in my head for that............ been thinking about it a lot)

If I could dislike one post on GBAtemp, it would be this one, for the SHEER Brainlessness of it. Nintendo and Microsoft are big time rivaling companies. If you knew it's never going to happen, WHY BOTHER POSTING?! Nintendo tried making the Pokemon franchise for other things. anyone remember the ti83 apps made by Nintendo? Or the Sega portable mini games with Pokemon? Hell, even those Pokeballs/Pokedex toys with games in it failed.

TL;DR Nintendo making an alliance with Sony or Microsoft will never happen. why bother hoping?

 

[VMM]

I really doubt that it will be a pokemon main-series game.
It's probably a motherfucking spin-off that no one cares about.

I hope I'm wrong, but it would be really strange announcing a Pokémon game a few months after B/W 2 american release.

look. i can make a post to discuss things that are not gonna happen or have a low chance of happeing just like EVERYONE on this forum INCLUDING the staff, if you dont like the post.. fine... dont like it.......... but you do not have to be hateful or disrespectful like that, its just a post

BUT NINTENDO BETTER BE ANOUNCING RSE REMAKES or they lost like a million customers

I hope you realize the fan base would buy any main series game they make regardless of it being a Gen III Remake or not.

Some things are really hard for kids to grasp.
Reeeeeeealy hard.

On RSE remakes: why would anyone want this right now? I mean the 3DS is a brand new system with a lot of potential that hasn't been explored yet by Pokemon games. Why remake an older game which was limited by the GBA instead of a new one that fully takes advantage of the 3DS?

 

[TyBlood13]

Guess what, Nintendo owns Creatures Inc.

I'll make not of that, as I was always under the impression that Creatures was 2nd party, like HAL.

 

[Clydefrosch]

there was only a single good thing about 3rd gen. maxies battle theme. and thats going to get anally assaulted in a remake.
3rd gen is worst gen.

They can fully take advantage of the 3ds, while still remaking the best region they've made.
Plus Hoenn is the only region without a current gen map. (DS/3DS) Every other region has a DS game and has been given love once.
Plus really, you want them to make another new game already? They are already running out of pokemon ideas, (im looking at you garbage bag and icecream cone)
Its more worth their time remaking a fan favourite then pumping another region with ideas worse than that we got from unova pokemon.

 

[Deleted-236924]

I'd guess that making a R/S remake before making a Gen VI game *could* make sense.

People would buy the R/S remake because OMG POKÉMON, then they would see that the Gen VI game(s) would fully take advantage of the 3DS.
So they'd be OMG POKÉMON BUT EVEN BETTER, so they would be even more hyped.

On the other hand, not making full use of the system could deter some from buying the game. Though we saw what happened with D/P, it definitely didn't make full use of the DS, but it still sold well.

BECAUSE NOSTALGIA seems to be the only reason. I personally wouldn't mind an RSE remake as Sapphire was my first ever Pokemon game and I had about 500 hours in that, but I wouldn't actually spend money on it for the same reason. (unless I could get it for something like under 20 bucks maybe) I already spent so much time on the original, I'm pretty much done with it. I might buy a completely new game though, but even that is doubtful.

I will be extremely disappointed if its a Ruby/Sapphire remake. Stop the remakes with the Advance generation. I get and completely support Red/Blue/Green and Gold/Silver being remade because the GB/GBC pokemon games weren't as pretty as the GBA and DS pokemon games. The remakes however should stop there, lets be honest, Ruby and Sapphire look on par with Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. There's a little less polish, but all in all those 2 generations were quite similar graphic wise. So to me, if you were to remake Ruby and Sapphire, you might as well remake Diamond and Pearl and thats just ridiculous. Plus, Red and Blue/Green were remade for the GBA, if Ruby and Sapphire do get remakes, does that mean we should get ANOTHER remake of Red and Blue/Green?! A line needs to be drawn on remakes, and I draw the line at the GBA generation.

However, if Nintendo wanted to one day add GBA games to the VC to everybody, not just ambassadors, then I'd be all for Ruby/Sapphire getting released on the 3DS VC, they could probably even add some sort of feature to migrate pokemon from the VC games to future new Pokemon releases for the 3DS.

Having said all of that, I really hope its a new adventure. 6th generation? Not necessarily. If this is the rumored WiiU pokemon game, and its a full fledged 3-dimensional take on the handheld series I would love that. If its still sprite based but its some sort of MMO, I'd be all for that too. Or even better, if its 3-dimensional and an MMO, that would be amazing. If released for the Wii-U you could start in a new region, or a region we've been to before. And new regions could be added in the future via DLC/Expansion Packs. << This is what Game Freak should ultimately aim to do as it is. They could just keep adding new regions and pokemon without ever having to release a full fledged new game. And you could still keep the challenge by having some sort of rule in effect for when you enter a new region, pokemon you've already caught can't be used (until you get your 8 gym battles or what have you), kinda like what Ash would do in the series. (except he always kept Pikachu of course).
I think what would be really cool about this kind of game design especially if its an MMO is that you could have genuine Pokemon League championships, with only one final winner like in the anime again. They could hold one League Championship game a day or something like that, so each League championship can only have a single winner a day, making your win there all the more epic.
And then also they could limit the Legendaries, only have them appear very rarely so that not everyone can load up their team with legendaries.

So many possibilities if they ever went full 3-dimensional and MMO. I honestly think if done right it could do better than WOW ever did.

Of course if it isn't something so ambitious, then I would love to hear gen 6's announcement instead, but it would have to be for the 3DS.
