i think that pokemon is stupid, the idea is nice, but they could really improve the game!

for example if you could acually have a choice of what to say to NPCs, and if the game acually had any AI what-so-ever, then it might've been better...

You mean a choice like the stupid yes/no questions in GS? Man, I hated those...

And the thing is, it really didn't change the course of the game even if you said yes or no. You would still get the same result.

Also bobcat, there are tons of Star Trek fans... but does that make the series good??

There is an infinite number of people who watch Star Wars... does it make it good.

And finally there is "Big Brother" pointless, lame, and simply dumb. The whole of Europe is going crazy about it; ask yourself. DOES IT MAKE IT GOOD?? Or are people just becoming sad these days.

No comment...........

Actually one comment.

Try to respect other people's opinions, including your own.

I actually do, if it's a worthwhile opinion.

But that sounds more like an opinion of an opinion. Pointless arguement, we won get anywhere.

So guys what are you expecting this party game to be like??

Probably an extended version of the mini games from Stadium.

Yeah what a bummer. An RPG would satisfy the fans, but a party game...

What they'll most likely do is have you train your monsters on the GBA and then for GC they'll have online battling. I think it would be too difficult for that kind of fighting to make a whole world with people walking around challenging eachother. Probably just certain stadiums you can enter knowing the level of the pokemon people have in that stadium.

The Pokemon party part of Pokemon stadium was the ONLY thing I liked about that game... so I'm sure that is Pokemon game will be cool.

As far as Pokemon RPG coming out for Cube or future Nintendo consoles... doubtful. For two Reasons:

1. Pokemon means Pocket Monsters... key word pocket. Some of the properties of the orginal game design would not be able to be pulled off on a console. Like walking down a street, finding a complete stranger and trading with him/her. Of course, online play may be key to making a console pokemon game possible, but we all know that Nintendo isn't serious about online gaming.

2. The fact that GBA needs an exclusive title to stay on top. Believe it or not, most of GBC's and GBP's sales were made when Pokemon games were released. If The Gamecube or any future Nintendo cansole got this game, demand for Gameboys will cut so fast Nintendo's head will spin. Some people are buying Gameboys right NOW because of the future hope for a Pokemon game.

I think the only way GCN or future Nintendo systems will get a pokemon RPG is if Nintendo is getting crushed into a near death on the console market. Nintendo may be saving this card for a savior of the Nintendo product name (even though it would hurt GBA at the same time).

Right now, from a marketing standpoint... there is no point.

If horrible games (yes, I believe they are horrible) like Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Snap can top sales charts, an RPG will take it off the charts, maybe the best seller of all time. But right now, they need to wait to pull that card.
