Gameloft is well known to steal video game concepts and bring out their own copies. The next game will be Crystal Monsters a fully worked out Pokémon clone that shall have 20 hours of gameplay and over 150 animals to catch.
Well I like the idea of Gameloft. Why not "steal" from original games and sell them for cheap? If the copy is good quality. A least Soul of Darkness was sometimes even better than the original Castlevanias for DS.
Me too. I like Gameloft. They bring great iPhone games and it is good that their cloning policy is coming to PSP Minis and DSiWare as well. Sure they will quit as soon as they lose their first lawsuit...
Well it is a quick download. Same concept as the past cell phone games. Buy it, if it is cheap, if it is good you will buy more, if it sucks you will hate Gameloft.
I want somebody to copy the mechanics of pokemon but have an interesting world with cool creatures. Maybe have some customization features in there too (like using experience to sharpen claws or build wing strength).
You know, with a creative enough team, this game could have been different enough to set itself away from Pokemon. Things that could have changed could be:
Elemental attributes of the montsers. Rather than using traditional water, fire, grass, electric, etc, something new could have been used. Maybe breaking them down into species, like dinosaur, bird, amphibian, dragon, reptile, etc, then coming up with weaknesses from there.
A combo system
Rather than use PP (not sure if this game uses it), the could use MP
Different art style (the one they're using reminds me of those Mega Man Battle Network games.
Don't call it evolution, call it forward shifting! Maybe they can also reverse shift into previous forms and gain special abilities when doing so.
Rather than one organization trying to take over the world, maybe have a monster that's deviated from its rightful path and trying to corrupt the good monsters into doing its evil bidding. He's currupted because he was part of an experiment thousands of years ago, put to sleep, and some virus injected into him just not decided to have an effect, wake him up and make him cause destruction
The use of vehicles to travel to various locations; boats to travel to distant islands. Maybe even being able to travel through time and different dimensions.
Seasons can play a role, so players will want to play year around..or maybe one season can last a week? idk
Touch screen damage to different body parts
ah, idk, but yeah so much could have been added to set this apart, haha.
That is a more than perky copy of Pokémon... Even some animals from the screenshots look like Pokémon.
Why would anyone want to put his face on a Pokémon via camera? That is just weird.
What use is it playing a Pokemon clone when you can just play Pokemon?
I mean, it's on the same damn system...
wow thats a very obvious copy of pkm, lets hope it doesn't happen something like in the past days...giana sisters anyone?
