With Pokemon X and Y set for release this week, it's an exciting time to be a Pokemon fan. Not only are these adventures the first proper 3D main-series titles, but they also bring a brand new generation of Pokemon, the new Fairy-type, competitive gameplay tweaks, Mega Evolution and a lot, lot more. To say the sixth generation is a big deal would be an understatement.
Pokémon’s shift to 3D was a big mistake, as the series’ roots in 2D design make it difficult to transfer important game mechanics into a 3D overworld.
why do other games pull off 3D monster collecting JRPG games just fine? Look at Jade Cocoon and Shin Megami Tensei for examples.
Answer should be obvious.
No other videogame franchise is as merchandise driven as Pokémon
BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
The Pokemon Company has a solid thing going right now. Well, it’s been going on for a while, actually, but it has been a while since a new typing has been introduced to the popular monster-taming series. The latest one, Fairy type, was introduced back in Generation VI (Pokemon X & Y), so it does seem like it is time to bring in a new one. Check out Jason Capp's article for more.
Kinda off topic but *Spoiler Alert*!!
Mega Tyranitar Y and Mega Aggron X Revealed!
3D Pokemon Open World MMO exclusive to the Wii U please?
Pokèmon Z duh...
After the obvious Z, it would be cool for a 3D trip to Kanto/Johto or Hoenn.
A Pokemon Wii U/MMO game is what a lot of people want.
I find it annoying when I get some fans who go: "No. Keep it handheld"
So.. in otherwords, keep it so minimal... :/
With a console release or an MMO of sorts, there's so much room for Pokemon. Expansions with new regions and Pokemon, maybe story where you can choose what direction your character goes with their Pokemon.
I honestly think Game Freak are just being lazy and that's why they don't want Pokemon on consoles. Too much work for them.
