don't get me wrong. i like pokemon. but i have come tired to playing it. over n over again.

i don't see what's holding them back to making a true pokemon game that would mirror an rpg like feel. maybe like Tales, or FF: CC. it would soo revamp the pokemon series.

(it sells best, but doesn't stay in flavor too long)

-make it count- Hey if you wanna play Wii Games with me, check out my game portion of my profile and pm me if you wanna add me so I can add you!

It's maybe because of Nintendo staying "true" to their series. Also, Nintendo already, in a since, did that with the Pokemon mystery dungeon series.

When all is bad don't look for a easy way out. Because you wont know what to do once your out

Looks like someone's not familiar with the competitive battling scene

Pokemon has never been about deep, miserable, depressing stories, its about the Pokemon, the battling and little else. The series needs no such revamp.

Good thing this guy probably hasn't played any of the Mario RPG's, i don't want to hear anyone tell me how that should mirror this "RPG feel". Angst ftl, Humor ftw Smilie

Pokémon doesn't need a revamp, but it does need more of a story, maybe a slight change in formula, and more general game additions. The story for the Pokémon universe has huge amounts of potential. Having the 4 mainseries games set in these 2 years almost seems like they're setting up for something bigger, doesn't it...? Smilie

Hmm, well like i said its about the Pokemon, i think the legendary Pokemon should have a bit more of a story thing, but they\'ve done that with Arceus (don\'t believe me? Collect all the Arceus plates in D/P and try to uncover the myth yourself, it\'ll destroy your mind).

What i strongly disagree with is a deep story centered around the main character. Pokemon does not need any of that \"spiky haired main character whose parents are dead because of some accident and he\'s some chosen hero\" crap. Keep that BS in final fantasy where it belongs.
That said, i wouldn\'t mind a slight change in formula, and game additions are always welcome. I personally think Contests need more love, online Contests would so own.

I fucking hate Contests xD But oh well.

And no, no way would character revolved story be any good, at least not the player character. It was alright in Colosseum, but Wes wasn't all that great anyway. But the Teams set on world domination, and especially the general myths and lore of Pokémon. There is so much potential.

I mean, Gold and Silver did it perfectly. Lance was great in that, and even got a bit of character development. More connections to other games and maybe a little development on some of the more popular Gym Leaders, I mean some Gym Leaders are just Gym Leaders, and seem to be completely ignorant of the goings on. This needs to change.

I'm just glad that Platinum adds more story than some of the others (from what I read)

I think they need to up the story by quite a lot. There's a lot they can do with the pokemon but just aren't. Something like the movies would be great. Get the characters and pokemon more involved, rather than just the standard formula of kill team rocketalikes, get gym badges, capture box monster, finish.

Whatever happened to "Got to Catch them All?" Smilie


The former top user was Keven! You'd probably give birth to yourself 1000 times over until you sprout wings to fly away into the fading sun, that or you'd just turn into a lesbian. Who knows @_@ - L, 12/06/09

Nintendo ditched that slogan, beause it was becoming physically too hard to catch them all. I mean there are 493 little buggers now, now that I'm complaining; replay value x4!
