The only reason 99% of the people bought DS is for pokemon system fails.

okay I've had gameboy fat, gameboy color, gameboy advance, gameboy sp, etc

ive had em all and the DS is BIG and clunky compared to the SP which folds an fits in my pocket

so with the DS you've got a new portable thats bigger then lot of the previous gameboys

the in game graphics are only good for cartoony styled games similiar to the n64 and many consider the snes era better so a lot of games for the GBA are actually more charming graphically then the BLEH BLOCKY n64 (hard to tell what you're looking at) style of the DS (except for some games that don't use much of it it like pokemon which look like a gba game)

so you've got graphics which are seriously debatabley bad cuz the GBA has charming snes styled graphics and the psp has graphics close to the ps2 so really nintendo has got the n64 styled graphics which IMO are ugly i did like some n64 games but cartoony ones like zelda/mario

so as you can see here the psp doesn't really get the best support an the games aren't as good gameplay wise but the graphics are about a billion times better on psp an so is the sound/style and size

so you've got a crappy handheld the DS only doing good cuz of the game support of stuff like pokemon which 99% of the ds owners i talk to own one of the pokemon ds games period.

this isn't a psp > ds this is a GB SP > DS if they just put the new pokemons on it the pen is rediculous i never use it ever and the touch screen is useless too

the show? Cause even then that's questionable.

Yes, let's just ignore Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Castlevania, Sonic, Mario, Zelda, Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, Kingdom Hearts, and other major franchises that appeared on the DS and helped sell the system.

Nah, its all because of Pokemon.

Honestly, the trolls are getting lazier with their arguments.

Because all of their good ones have been raped sideways.

There are some statistical falsities with this argument too, when the DS first came out there wasn't much talk of a new Pokemon game and as such most of the people couldn't have bought the DS for these games. Now I'm not good with maths, but I'm pretty sure the 10 million or so units sold in the first months is still more than 1% of today's sales. Therefore 99% of DS owners could not have possibly bought it for Pokemon.

Now I can't see how the GB SP is better than the DS, as DS does everything the SP could do and moar.

And the touch screen is useless TC says? Wrong again, you can draw things, makes it easier for keyboarding and it would be pretty hard to play touch-screen games withought one.

i didn't read most of your post. but yes, i bought a ds for pokemon. i am a uni student and willingly admit it to someone if they ask. pokemon is not uncool damnit!

That is nice....

Haha, didn't know it was 2005 this year, I was thinking it was 2010. Silly me.

All Pokemon DS games have sold 25 million. The DS has sold 130 million. :|

Not quite 99% i see.

NO

This thread is now about how Digimon is better than Pokemon.

also I kinda did bought the DS for pokemon but with the 3DS coming out with that new RE and MGS game, that won't be the same case. now all it needs is OOT(or majora's mask) and remake version of DMC3/DMC and I will be a happy camper.. and maybe ninja gaiden too

I bought my DS for Pokemon. Pokemon is the only game I have on it.

But I figure, since I have it, I may as well buy a bunch of other good DS games I've missed.

I didn't I hate the franchise.

show wise digimon is better than pokemon....but yugioh kicks both their asses :P

punctuation marks will take revenge.

I think OP was bored and wanted to engage some imagination; this thread is the result.

Digimon was better. The monsters and characters were far more likeable.

Digimon is the weirdest kids cartoon I watched, it had some of the most disturbing monsters that transform from a little blob.

I love DS and I think Pokemon games are terrible garbage.

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"]pokemon is fun.clyde46

huh thats funny considering ive barely even played pokemon at all on my DS.

Ahhh this is because of the DS owners you talked to? So how many is that of the total userbase? Probably less than 1% lol.

Also, Pokemon is awesome.

I didn't buy a DS because of Pokemon. I do own Pokemon Diamond, but I absolutely hate it.

I bought my DS for Mario. Your point is invalid.

I didn't buy a DS because I Pokemon but I do own Pokemon Platinum and Heartgold. I bought it for other games like Bangai-O Spirits, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, Legend of Zelda, Mario, and some other games I purchased for the DS.

bought my ds for pokemon and dragon quest V :P

lol no

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"]pokemon is fun.clyde46

I had an Original Digimon(pet) keychain and I'm going to tell you that Pokemon is miles better cause my Charmander doesn't die from it's own poop!

I tried taking care of my Digimon(pet) and I actually wanted to battle some of the other kids but most of the kids didn't have one on them and I couldn't play with it at school so from 8-3 it died from it's poop......I gave it it's shot cleaned up the mess and everything. fed him but it was no use. It still died.

But Pokemon they don't die. They just faint and can be revived through the Pokemon center. But if your Digimon(pet) dies HE'S GONE! Dead you have to restart taking care of him from Scratch!

Mine was the Blue one. man if only I could find that thing again. Even though the stuff I said up there I still have lots of Nostaligia from this thing.

Oh yeah, I didn't get a DS for Pokemon, I got the DS for Mario.
