A first of its kind review for COG…Check out what xxGENEVIEVExx and her daughter Hannah have to say about this latest version of the Pokémon franchise.
"When I refelct on the initial Pokémon games I think that I was a bit too old when they first came out as they just didn’t interest me at all. I dismissed them as being a childish game, too easy for this hardcore gamer. There’s no denying just how big the franchise is though with Pikachu being as recognizable as any other mascot character like Mario, Sonic, Kirby or Link. That still didn’t sway my attitude though as those pocket monsters did not appeal to me at all; that is, until I had my daughter Hannah."
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.
