Pokemon Platinum Confirmed!

[Awdofgum]

Aren't they sort of... out of names now? What could they possible call the next two in the series?

Yeah they are pretty much out of names... but more importantly they are out of pokemon.

 

[Spikey]

How do you access that O.o?

Talk the the surfer guy near Saffron City with a Pikachu that knows surf (only way to get it without cheating was through Pokemon Stadium).

No, that's the only way to get one without cheating NOW. Back then there was also like a Pokemon Expo thing that went around to malls. Luckily, I live somewhat close to King of Prussia Mall, which is a fairly large mall, so it had it a few times. Once I went to one to get Mew. And later when I had yellow one came around again and they would teach your Pikachu surf. Good times...

The waves just haven't broken on him so all pikachu does is let them go under him.

Pokemon is getting old for me now. It was a decent RPG for the GB then when G/S came out I was like "Holy Shit" because they stuffed it with features like the radio and the clock and being able to go to the original country place thing.

Then R/S came out and ... It was like the same but with less features except dive and more pokemon...Then FR/LG came and remade Red and blue with some island bullshit.... then D/P came out and it was the same with...zzz... with reborn features and more pokemon...

The battle system hasn't changed much at all. Im still playing with a MENU!

same here, i used to be a pokefreak when it first came out, used to know ever pokemon back then, now it's meh.

 

[Salamantis]

Yeah, Pokemon is really getting old. It's always the same thing with a tweaked story and new pokemans.

How about a pkemon game where your a deranged pokemon hunter with a various assortment of weapons and need to eradicate pokemon while watching out and dodging their special attacks.

I were a hardcore Pokémon gamer when Blue & Red came out, knew all names of the 151 Pokémon, even bought a Game Genie adapter for 5$ just to get Mew lol (Worked with getting Celebi as well). Played Gold & Silver a lot too, even imported Gold & Silver from US when it came out due to it would take 6 more months for it to come out in Europe. Tried some Pokémon for GBA. DS I just played for about 1 hour. By the way I did watch the first three Pokémon seasons as well and the 4 first movies but then it got too much.

If it ever goes completely 3D with a giant map, than it will be completely new. Almost like a 3D Pokemon sandbox game.

ditto, although i played pokemon ruby to death, completed diamond but didn't complete the pokedex, unlocked all the rare pokemon with my good old action replay and wouldn't miss a pokemon tv show either.

When Nintendo finally realizes that their cow is getting old and blood is coming out, That should be the way the series ends.

Oh crap, they've moved to centipede pohkeemanz. Must. Buy.

 

[Trolly]

Lolll, that makes me remember the Flying Pikachu card they gave away with Pokemon 2000! In retrospect, how damn weird was that!?
If Nintendo ever re-make Gold and Silver, I would definitely buy it. And I really think if Nintendo created a new Pokemon with a new story (but still Team Rocket, because making all these new teams sucks. I mean Team Galactic, WTF?), but parts of old regions, not necessarily whole regions. Where you revisited places, maybe added a FEW new things, a couple of new mechanics, but essentially the same I think it would be great.

I think what would really help would be moderation. If they didn't add so much, and there were only, say, 30 new Pokemon, a couple of new Gyms and a handful of new places, but most of the game was still composed of old Pokemon and old places and gyms, it would be so much better.
It wouldn't feel like a completely new un-related adventure, but an extension or continuation, with a few new things to explore. They'd have more time to add other things as well.

Sorry for my long-winded ramblings, as I was just thinking as to how my perfect Pokemon game would go, and I had to spill my thoughts.

As for back on topic, I'll probably end up playing this, as it's a Pokemon game and it's another at least decent DS game (and I play anything that's at least decent now to be honest). And Pokemon Platinum is merely a romanised version of the Japanese isn't it? It would still make more sense as well as being plausible to call it Pokemon Opal.

Still, looking forward to see whether they've put in many new features.

I want a non turn based 3D combat system with some special combos.
