Should Pokemon Move on...?

Ok, all or most of you know the pokemon games for the gc and wii: Pokemon Colloseum, Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, and Pokemon Battle revolution. The first 2 were for the gc and the last one was for the wii.

I have only played the ones for gc, and as far as i know, they were better than the handhelds imo. Reasons why you ask, well first there is the music (my fav is mirror B. music from gale of darkness), then graphics, storylines were okay i guess. The only thing i didnt like was the names of the villans. The names were awful, i mean cmon Greevil? Nintendo could do better.

Bottom Line: Do you think nintendo should move to a console?

NO.

I'm almost positive that you are in the vast minority in liking the 3D games better than the 2D ones. Pokemon started on handhelds and I believe that's where it belongs. Playing it on the consoles and seeing all the characters in 3D and having the attacks rendered better is ok, but it's just not the same.

I'm afraid I must respond with a gritty, in your face NO.

Should Nintendo move Pokemon exclusively to the Wii? Absolutely not. The handheld games have always been the best, and that's what handheld owners expect.

That being said, I'd like to see them try a little harder on their console attempts.

I wish they'd release another Pokemon Snap, maybe for the DS? That'd be cool.kelliemonster

that game is da siht

I'm still waiting for my Pokemon MMORPG. Customize your trainer and your Pokemon any way you want and roam around town fighting wild Pokemon, NPC's and players in awesome PvP combat. Now why can't they do this?

NO.

Nameless player is correct. Pokemon has been milking peoples wallets far too long, but because of this they won't discontinue the franchise.

If there was an MMO Pokemon, who would pay? Why would it be free? I'm guessing a majority of Pokemon players don't have jobs... or credit cards for that matter.

I say it should move on. They've tried working around the RPG formula and haven't succeeded branching out. Either move it to a platform (Wii-controlled pokemon moves?) or the recycle bin. More new IP's and less recycling please.

There are far too many fans of the gameplay for this to ever happen...moving it to a console only format makes zero sense seeing how the appeal of pokemon is to take your pocket monster anywhere...though I do think they need to change up some stuff a bit..perhaps allowing you to make your own choices and not be forced to save the day or become the champion...eeeehhh I don't know either way it wont be changing anytime soon I'm sure.

pokemon = pocket monsters = handheldsjacobs06

and pokemon wtf on handhelds

HELL NO!!

i started playing pokemon when i was still in grade school,,i learned to kick meowth's butt before i could do the math...

it's a legend already...

why not leave the little kids games alone...

as long as there's someone playing it, it's worth keeping it alive...

I think it should stay on both consoles.

also they need to make a game with all the regions in one.

pokemon = pocket monsters = handheldsjacobs06

lol so true. and no.

Off-topic: anyone else notice how there were NO normal or common names in Pokemon Coliseum? The only one was Willie who only appears at the beginning of the game. Seriously, go and play that game, come back, and agree with me. :PZumaJones07

But from hearing everybody's posts, it seems you want pokemon to stay on a handheld. Is it because of the multi-player battles, trading, ect. Let me rephrase my question though, do you think they should make pokemon games for consoles more often?

all i want from pokemon rite now is some GOOD online play, 3d graphics meaning 3d cutscenes. and honestly can't we get more action than just clicking tackle every turn. couldn't we mesh moves up, aim, create, name, and can't we get some more effects from our moves instead of just seeing our pokemon move around. can't it look like a cutscence or somethin.

Note: I put up a poll if you want to state your opinions there as well.

Personally I would love to see Pokemon be move to the console, but not in a crappy pokemon stadium way, in a complete 3D world adventure. It would play out like the handheld games, but (here comes the amazing part) battles take place in real time and you get to move the pokemon and use their attacks. Also the terrain would greatly influence the battles, so if your battling in the ocean a rock type pokemon would do poorly in comparison to a water type. Since the game would play like the handhelds they could make it so you play through all the different leagues and maybe add a new one or just create a new league. Custimization of your character would be a must as no one would want to look the same as someone else and I found the NPC always looked cooler than the main character.

How cool would it be if they made a Pokemon/Animal Crossing game? Like, instead of you expanding your house in a town, you expand your gym in a town full of poketrainer neighbors. And it could be in real time too, so that people like Gracie or Joan could come along, except they would be other Gym Leaders. And instead of a museum, there could be a mini pokemon snap game, where you save up to buy a camera and then take pictures of various pokemon that wander into your town, which then get displayed in some photo art gallery. You'd still have items and money and all of that. And you could go to other towns and fight the gym leader there. I think Nintendo could make a LOT of money if they made that.

An interesting idea for a spin-off pokemon game, yep, making a gym and increasing it and getting famous, this type of stuff...

I wonder if pokemon can work well in strategy rpgs like disgaea or FFTA.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAAAHHAHAHAH!!!!!!!

...

oh, you're serious?

In my opinion, console pokemon games are great, but I see no reason why Nintendo shouldstop making handheld pokemon games. they're great, they have a lot of replay value, they make a lot of money, and pretty much everyone likes them. Plus they keep on selling , like, years so nintendo wouldnt give up for anything.

There are far too many fans of the gameplay for this to ever happen...moving it to a console only format makes zero sense seeing how the appeal of pokemon is to take your pocket monster anywhere...though I do think they need to change up some stuff a bit..perhaps allowing you to make your own choices and not be forced to save the day or become the champion...eeeehhh I don't know either way it wont be changing anytime soon I'm sure.

Maybe in battles you can actually play as the pokemon instead of commanding it. The game experience would be great, but it may be hard to control.

Yeah kinda like the pokemon trainer in brawl actually assume the role of the pokemon..it would be a nice touch..and I also like the idea of maybe being a bad guy..seeing as the bad guy really isn't always so bad in these games..lol..one thing i've gotta say though is in regaurds to the people saying we need new stuff and recycling..some games work too well with this recycling philosophy ie Mega man. In almost all his games and spin offs recycle over and over not always the original source but it's what works...but yeah I did some thinking and talking amongst fellow pokemon players the other day and the one thing we want is the ability to customize our characters..adjust their height and weight skin color etc..you know it'd add to the pokemon experience. and like i previously said take the restrictions away..you should be allowed to collect or study or do contests rather than be forced to beat the elite four..also I'd like to see more of the rematch system from emerald and GSC..and lets actually see the gym leaders become truely difficult by switching up their teams..Also it'd be very nice to see you travel to the different lands..no more being restricted to one land please..

Speaking of changes, I'd like it if they made a darker spinoff with a bit more emphasis on more tragic themes like war and death. (For instance, does anyone remember that tower in Kanto that served as a graveyard for all those creatures? How come nobody has witnessed one actually perish?) Part of the change would be that the relationship between a trainer and his creatures would be...different. Since most of the situations are pretty much life-and-death, a trainer would be less likely to sit in the background and watch his creatures take abuse lest they get killed, and there's no reviving them at that point.NamelessPlayer
