These are one of those milks that actually work and people dont mind.

mathsman4432d ago

I mind. I used to love Pokemon, but Nintendo have taken it too far. Give me a new, fully 3D (not necessairly stereoscopic) Pokemon RPG.

Optical_Matrix4432d ago

They're working on one. But how can they release a 3D Pokemon game if the Engines not ready? Give it time. It'll happen with Generation 6.

mathsman4432d ago

@Optical_Matrix

Use the 'Gale of Darkness' engine. This is Nintendo we're talking about, they have tech falling out of every pour. It wouldn't be hard for them to slap it onto 3DS and expand on the core features.

Knight_Cid4432d ago

yeah because all series arent milked right?

COD gets a pass right? elder scrolls gets a pass for being the same exact game every time right?

such bias

when the ds launched gamefreak made 2 games for the gba.

Nobody cared, now all of a sudden the fanboys without game history knoweldge come up from the woodwork

mathsman4432d ago

Call of Duty? You're kidding, right? As much as this is annoying me, I'd much rather another Pokemon title refusing to use new tech than a CoD that forces it down your throat.

I do disagree with the Elder Scrolls comment though. It may be the same basis, but each game is functioanlly different thanks to the advances in technology, not too dissimilar from Zelda.

And as for saying "fanboys without game history knoweldge..." Well, I've been a fan of Pokemon since Red & Blue, before all the TCG and TV show nonsense, so I'm afraid I don't really fit with your stereotype.

Knight_Cid4432d ago

The point was when a company has a series that works they will make new games until rapture

LX-General-Kaos4432d ago

It makes me happy to see that all the Nintendo brethren of Europe that invested in Nintendo are being taken care of this late in the console life cycle. The Nintendo 3DS is out and Nintendo is doing whats right by gamers and continues the support of the original DS.

A job well done by Nintendo and its fans. This is just the beginning for us all and prepare for many more exclusives in the future. goodnite and happy gaming. I leave you with this tribute video.

Rated E For Everyone

Instigator4432d ago

How will these relate to version 1? Are they sequels or expansions? I was on the verge of getting Black version, but once again I'll hold out on buying a Pokemon game until the next one is released.

Pokemon Really Should Bring Back Hard Mode

Ethan writes: "Believe it or not, Pokemon once had both an easy mode and a hard mode option back in generation V. It may be time for them to return in future releases."

Do you really want your switch to melt?

shadowraiserx1551d ago (Edited 1551d ago )

i wish they do it at least as dlc this generation, In my case after been without playing any of the pokemon games after gold and silver back in the GBC, this game feels too easy.

KGEthan1551d ago

There have been some tougher ones since the original Gold/Silver, but I do wonder why they got rid of the difficulty options after adding them in.

Welshy1551d ago (Edited 1551d ago )

I came back to Pokemon when X/Y released after not playing since Gold.

Once it had its claws in again after beating X/Y i went back and picked up Black/White and I kicked my arse in comparison.

Even a mode where AI actively take steps to get the upper hand in type effectiveness would make a big difference. The amount of times they actually have pokemon that counter yours and they use "tackle" instead of the super effective etc is just dumb.

Sono4211551d ago

I think it all really comes down to just a lack of effort from the developers.

I mean with Sw&Sh there is plenty of visual signs of lack of effort, from bugs to poor graphics, animations, pop in, lazy techniques like the screen just cutting to black instead of showing an animation, poor frame rate, a computer mouse appearing on screen during cutscenes and just overall low quality across the board, so it really isn't crazy at all to think this applies to back end stuff as well, like coding good AI opponents. They probably just can't be asked to take the time to make the AI intelligent enough to pose a challenge.

So either Gamefreak greatly increase their staff to produce an actually quality Pokemon game for once, or give the game to new developers, and I bet all these issues (And boy is there A LOT of them) will finally go away.

Xaevi1551d ago

A hard mode and maybe a type of new game plus where you can start as an already veteran trainer with your fully leveled Pokemon from the previous game. Of course for the second mode they'd hafto balance out so that wild and trainers Pokemon are already around your level, maybe letting us go over level 100 in this mode

KGEthan1551d ago

I think making a post-game storyline where you're already champion (and it actually matters) could be the best choice, alongside a hard mode. New game plus might be kinda tough/weird for a Pokemon game, but it'd be interesting for sure.

Xaevi1551d ago

I remember they did something similar in Crystal. You were able to travel to from Johto to Kanto at the end of the game. If I'm remembering correctly you could even battle the gym leaders from Kanto. I remember I decided to leave all but my starter and start just like Ash would do whenever he left to a new region.

Teflon021551d ago

xae
yeah, but it wasn't post game. it was just the one pokemon game where they gave 2 whole leagues for the main game

danny8181551d ago

Or make it abit more challenging. This new series was super easy. Walk in the part. It got very boring fast

Why Pokémon Black & White's 'Current-Gen Only' Pokédex Was A Great Idea

In the midst of the Dexit debacle, let us remember a Pokémon game that limited the Pokédex, but only temporarily and only to make the game better.
