Strangelove Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I gave up on Pokemon Black. Played it for about an hour, then realized id never even come close to getting all of them. Sold it. Fuck that. I like finishing/completing things. Its the same reason I dont play MMOs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Never collected all the Pokemon, just traveled everywhere doing all you can before it becomes level grinding for different teams. For the first time since Pokemon Red, the final boss/trainer actually gave me a challenge. Heck, even making it to the League was difficult given some of the Pokemon you encounter. Then you actually face the Elite Four and learn that their Pokemon have a range of different type attacks. Caught me completely off-guard when an AI Psychic-type used Thunder.

deanb Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 It kinda sucks that I find Blue unplayable now. And there's no "Water Blue" (yes I know Leaf Green is sort of the same thing. And yes I may one day pick it up. Prefer 2nd gen though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I get why the Japanese are more into handhelds than us in the West, but why won't they even release entries in these series on home console? ;_; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbassman39 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 The last pokemon game I owned was Saphire. I didn't care for it. There were only two pokemon that were added that I really liked: Wingull and Whalmer. Over all I was excited to see an attempt to recreate and start fresh with almost an entire list of new pokemon, but I didn't like it. I was severely disappointed to see that the day night cycle was removed from the game. Second Gen was my favorite, every new pokemon they added was as good (or better) than the first gen pokemon, and the world was so fresh and new, along with COLOR and breeding. It was just awesome.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I get why the Japanese are more into handhelds than us in the West, but why won't they even release entries in these series on home console? ;_; It would be really expensive to develop and the only game Nintendo seem to spend serious money developing is Zelda. Having said that, I don't think Zelda actually sells that much compared to Nintendo's other franchises so maybe if they spent that money developing a home pokemon game they'd more likely get a better return on their investment. Or maybe they were waiting until they had a console with robust online. It could certainly be a system seller if they need one for the Wii U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Yeah, but I feel like they could probably get away with similar visual style to the DS games and the development costs wouldn't be much higher than the handheld versions.

CorgiShinobi Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I wonder if they're concern about the type of elements that work in a handheld system transferring over into a more expansive console experience. Don't forget that we have have some Pokemon console games (not counting Stadium 1 & 2). Those however were restricted to certain types of pokemon caught and battling was more focused on adventure than the RPG elements of Pokemon.

TheMightyEthan Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I didn't realize Pokemon Colosseum was more like an RPG until just now, I just figured it was another sequel to Pokemon Stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 My first and only Pokemon was a Tamagotchi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
