The core Pokemon franchise has always been a little predictable. Upon the release of Pokemon Black Version and Pokemon White Version, many fans of Nintendo's long-running series expected a single entry along the lines of Pokemon Grey, and even hypothesized that version would arrive on the Nintendo 3DS.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
Or make it abit more challenging. This new series was super easy. Walk in the part. It got very boring fast
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.
The best video game bosses are the ones we never got to fight against. These powerful bosses were sadly cut during development.
They're not on the 3DS because there's already a HUGE install base of younger players on the DS, so why force them to buy a new handheld when they can just sell boatloads of software.
i want pokemon black on the 3ds, older game but sooo fun.
I don't know why Nintendo are putting these games out. Everybody wants a 3ds version.
I can see why it should be on both the 3DS and DS.
1. More profit for the big N
2. Black and White versions were for the DS
I think we'll see a Ruby/Safire remake for the 3DS! :)
A 3DS game would compell me to buy a 3DS even though I've been holding out for a remodel, but it's good to see that Nintendo is supporting their last gen handheld over a year after the 3DS launched.
