Would putting pokemon black and white exclusively on the 3DS instead of the DS..

been a good move on Nintendos part? I heards som mixed reactions over this in the past and wanted to know what my fellow system warrior thought. Especially because everyone on here obviously has a freaking doctorates in economics;). I would say yes but I'm not sure how much ninty makes off of each pokemon game. they obviously have quite a bit of pull with game freak wouldn't it have been a huge system seller. Instead of the however many million users base the 3DS has right now it could easily be at least 50% to 75% more then that with the way pokemon sells systems

It would be a huge boost to the 3DS sales, however, the install base is limited in comparison. It could go a number of ways.

I would have preferred it for the 3DS.

If they did so, it would've been the lowest selling main Pokemon game.

That is true, but games usually sell a good chunk of their copies in the first month. Long legs wouldn't change this.

Wouldn't do anything really. The game is going to sell a ton of 3DS systems despite being a DS game since the DS is being phased out.

Would have been impossible for a 2012 release. This game was developed this quickly because they used existing engine/assets. Think about it, it takes places in an expanded version of Unova and all the Pokemon are the same save for a few new forms.

Champ24 and SuperFlake, have a point, that and selling a great amount of units at a loss is a bad idea.

Key words: "in its current form".

I think it's good that they released it on the DS, make as much money as you can from it before it dies. Plus chances are this is being made by their remake team while the main one works at getting their engine ready for the 3DS. ShuichiChamp24

Given the releases of HG/SS and B/W and the lack of some features from the former not making it into the latter (Pokes walking behind you, berry pots) they were probably in development at the same time, so B/W had to be done by their lead team.

Still, I feel like I would've liked Black and White if they came out on the 3DS better. Would have been more time to develop the game, make a better 3D engine and incorporate all the new features from the remakes.

Nope. For easy continuity's sake, they didn't.

But GameFreak's already got their feet wet with PokeDex 3D and especially the great looking Pokemon Dream Catcher.

B&W 2 will sell millions in Japan alone, and that's not even counting other regions. What will help these two games is the fact that they aren't a special third version of existing games, but an original game with a new story, new gym leaders, and changes to the region of B&W1.

They may not reach the sales of B&W1, but they will do very well.

I'm going to bet this game will sell 5 million or more units. If Pokemon Platinum could sell 7 million and it was a special edition of Diamond and Pearl, there's an excellent chance B&W 2 will sell millions easily, give the fact that they are brand-new games.

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"]:lol: at those saying it won't sell well on the DS. It's f*cking pokemon. It'll sell like crack just as the sky is blue. Even the lowest selling games(ruby and sapphire) in the series still pulled in buttloads of salesKillerCannonade

Keep in mind, all those Pokemon games that failed to sell were spinoff games. All of the main series games have been highly successful and are proven sellers.

And NA is one of Pokemon's best markets aside from Japan. Pokemon Platinum managed to sell 7 million copies and it was a special edition for Diamond and Pearl. Black & White 2 are direct sequels that have a new storyline, new main character, new gym leaders, and changes to the Uvona Region. This is not a special edition of Black & White. These are outright sequels.

These two will sell, and they offer a killer app fairly late into the DS's lifespan. And 3DS owners who are fans of Pokemon will also buy the game. I'm preditcing five million copies sold worldwide and that's a low number. I really believe it will be higher in the end.

half the poeple in this topic ether can't read or didn't understand what I was asking....lol
