Gaming Will you be buying Pokemon Pear/Diamond?

[VeeK]

There doesnt seem to be too much talk about Pokemon D/P in the western world. I know it is a huge hit in Japan, selling over 4 million copies, but i was just curious to see how popular it will be when it hits EU/US/AU.

EDIT - For all intents & purposes buying = "acquiring" ;]

 

[backlash]

Ill be playing it, yes.

 

[4saken]

I probably will buy it, however if it doesn't get a decent review score, I will be, like the above poster, simply playing it.

 

[lolsjoel]

Yeah, I'll probably get around to it sooner or later. I have toooons of games I still need to finish first though. As far as the version I'll pick up? No freaking idea. Which sounds better to you?

Call of Duty 3 - Wii
Excite Truck - Wii
Need for Speed Carbon - Wii
Castlevania Portrait of Ruin - DS
Phoenix Wright II - DS
Resident Evil 4 - GCN

Wow, I keep getting new games and never finishing my old ones.

 

[aceatom]

yeah will get it as soon as its out

 

[gr33dy]

I don't like all that Pokemon crap.

 

[Heran Bago]

lol buy

I have never been a fan of the Pokemon series. It's just not appropriate towards my personal gaming tastes. On the other hand, several of my friends and even a couple of family members are indeed anticipating it. Nearly the entire classroom that my sister-in-law teaches are eager for it to arrive. Mind you, it's a 4th grade class, but that's 20-something potential sales right there for Nintendo.

me buy, transfer save, hack, then play and give GBAtemp people free pokemon!!!

 

[Nevin007]

Not a fan of RPG's. I played Leaf Green and really tried to enjoy it, but didn't. RPG's are boring.

 

[xalphax]

Ill be playing it, yes.

me too, and if its worth it MAYBE buying it

 

[VeeK]

Is there a possibility nintendo will disable the online features if the game is played via an emulator like the M3/R4?

No.. so you have nothing to worry about

I won't be buying any of the pokemon games.. but i'll def. be playing it

 

[Wuschmaster]

I'm missing a "I will be buying BOTH" option.

 

[juggernaut911]

heh word up!

 

[mirun100]

I'll most definitely buy it unless it gets a REALLLY subpar score (~7) which I highly doubt. So I'm pretty much sold...

 

[pristinemog]

Whoops. Picked no before reading about "acquiring". I figured this was about supporting the developers. I'm going to play it, of course. I'll probably get Diamond. The legendary looks cooler.

 

[Rayder]

No. I'm not a Pokemon fan.

 

[OrR]

I can't wait to play Pokemon again. I pretty much skipped the GBA versions because I didn't really like them but I tried the DS version in Japanese and decided that it's finally time to play some Pokemon again.

I'm disappointed that they won't include all the landscape from the old games in the new ones, though.

I'd love to visit Johto and Kanto again. That's also what I didn't like about the GBA versions.

 

[larvi]

Defnitely buying both versions here.
