I know, I am getting excited for it simply because I havn't heard much. Kinda reminds me when I was a kid and the announced G/S... Best in the series!

 

ah Gold/Silver. I got both for my birthday, along with Pokemon: The Video Game of the Trading Card Game of the Video Game (Well that's what I call it now =p). And lo and behold, I decided to play Pokemon:TVGOTTCGOTVG first =p

 

But yeah, everything was perfect about GS when I was younger. :tophat:

 

Honestly though, I don't think there has ever been a Video Game of a Trading Card Game of a Video Game for any other series. That's quite impressive I must say.

I'm with D-K on this one. Pokemon needs a makeover. I loved Red/Blue and Gold/Silver but the series hasn't changed at all since then. I always wanted the battles to be more action based like the cartoon. They don't have to stop making the classic games but why not give us an updated version to bring back some of the fans they've lost?

No actually the creator would like to keep it handheld based to encourage get2gethers for trading irl, rather than online sharing.

which seems strange, considering that as of Gen 4 you can trade and battle over Wi-Fi now with anyone in the world anyway. I'd like the main series to stay on the handhelds, but I wouldn't mind a 3D spin-off game for the Wii other than just a PBR/Colosseum type deal.

Well looks like a reason to dig out HG/SS

 

Free shiny versions of the three Pokemon (also with special moves) will be available in the new year at GameStop. Raikou from Jan 3-9, Entei from Jan 17-23, and Suicune from Jan 31-Feb 6. In addition, Toys R Us will be distributing Ash's Pikachu from Jan 30-Feb 6.

I grabbed two shiny Raikus today. :3 Tomorrow(1/9/2010) is the last day to grab him. Just go up to gamestop, turn on your DS, and go to mystery gift on the pokemon start menu and download it. Don't even need to talk to anyone. Can hide in a corner in shame if you must. =P

I think that Pokemon is intrinsically good. The formula works quite well. However, I wish that it was possible to increase the speed of the game. Many things just feel slow and clunky to me. Needing to use HMs for environmental puzzles is a tedious process. There are several similar games that have much quicker environmental interactions that they could copy. I'm thinking of Golden Sun, Zelda, or Lufia.

 

The other thing that needs a speed increase is the battles. The only way I could make the battles bearable in Platinum was to turn of battle animations. I shouldn't need to do that. Speed up the text, or better yet, give me an option to turn it off entirely. Once one is familiar with the game, is the narration text really necessary? I recognize the graphics for the statuses and I can tell how much my health has gone down. Actually, that could be really exciting. You get hit for half your HP, and you don't think that the enemy should have that kind of stopping power. Do you stay in and hope that it was a critical hit? Or do you retreat?

 

Or at the very very least, let me manipulate menus while attack animations are running. Anything to speed up the plodding pace of combat. Even without animations, it's very very slow. I'd almost welcome an ATB system, just because that would force the game to keep on moving!
