Ginkasa 03-14-2002 06:46 PM

I wonder if there is going to be any real difference in gameplay this time...

Jason1 03-14-2002 07:25 PM

um...pokeman! YAY...or something:unsure:

Revival 03-14-2002 07:30 PM

You all be happy or I'll pay Miss Cleo to come to your house and strip and give you a tarot card reading.. and I'm pretty sure you don't want to see her naked:

GameMaster 03-14-2002 10:08 PM

I though the day would never come!!! Pokémon is coming back!!!!!!!!! Time to fire up the old Pokédex and dust off the Pokéballs. :D :D :D :D :D

Yoda9864 03-14-2002 10:52 PM

I hope they have some new twists this time. But oh well, it's pokemon!!

Ric 03-15-2002 08:55 AM

:mad: I HATE IG fuggin N, bastards, I tried to see the other images, it said you can sign up and view upto 5 images a day if not subscribed to insider, so I sign up try to view the images and it says you HAVE to subscribe to insider. Cheeky fuggers, their arses should be sued for false advertising. Pricks.

Now where were we, aah yes, Pokémon Advance:


:unsure: these shots dont look as though they're going to go very far in supporting my point that the GB game is not kiddy, in fact these shots 'kiddy' the game up that little bit more and the guy you play as looks like a gay little sailor boy. He looks like he's skipping across that puddle.

But hey, WOOOOO new pokemon, and it's out by the end of this year in Japan and America........ :unsure: no news on a European launch though.

Cool, 100 new pokémon, lets hope they finally make evolutions for pokémon such as Kengaskhan and Snorlax.

Right, I've got an adventure to prepare for, *assembles old pokémon team*

Joeiss 03-15-2002 09:16 AM

YEAH! New Pokemon! Great news, but I expected that the graphics would be alot better, not just really similar to Pokemon Gold/Silver. Hopefully Nintendo can pretty this game up, but if not, we'll still have a kick ass game to play.

Blackmane 03-15-2002 10:10 AM

They should be able to advance the game a little at least with new features.

Oh well, its Pokemon and we all love Pokemon.

Ric 03-15-2002 10:24 AM

They should make Kirby into an honourary pokemon, and make a pikmin pokemon too.

That would be cool, but I highly, highly doubt that would ever, ever happen.

Shadow_Link 03-15-2002 12:43 PM

Well you do have to admit, the reflection an shadow effects are quite nice :D. But hey, a new pokemon game brings more gameing goodness :D



(The shadow)



You can even leave some footprints :p

Joeiss 03-15-2002 12:52 PM

Yeah, these special effects are pretty cool. And look at this picture, I do not think that many people noticed, but there are ripples in the water from where the hero was walking.


Drunk Hobbit 03-15-2002 04:02 PM

I kind of expected a pretty bare world and it works. But the new character design is messed up looking.

GameMaster 03-15-2002 04:59 PM

Yeah, I want Ash! :mad:

Drunk Hobbit 03-15-2002 05:01 PM

Ash has been gone for 4 years. Maybe he'll make an appearence like he did in G/S/C though.

GameMaster 03-16-2002 12:06 AM

Well, as long as he doesn't leave the animated series, I'll survive :D

Ric 03-16-2002 01:32 PM

And as long as he hasnt got a level 81 Pikachu when all my pokemon are level 60, so will I. I had to jack them up on Rare Candy to win against Ash.

Yes Joeiss I did notice the ripples, thats why I said it looks like he's skipping across the puddle like a little girly.

Shame on you Ric, using Rare Candy. Tsk tsk tsk. I thought you were better than that. :mad:

Ric 03-16-2002 02:19 PM

Only when I was playing on emulator, I have'nt got that far on Crystal on my GBA yet but I assure they are all pure bred and raised proper on that.

jshrimp3 03-16-2002 03:17 PM

i actually think that those graphics are somewhat dissapointing. yes, there are reflections, footprints, splashes, and shadows, but they could have done more. don't get me wrong, i'm still getting it. i'm just slightly dissapointed.

oh, ok. Well, I always knew you were a good trainer. :D

If online capabilities are introduced, we'll have to battle someday.

Drunk Hobbit 03-16-2002 05:43 PM

Better not use rare candy if this game (and gamecube version) go online. Your ass would be so whooped... :D

GameMaster 03-16-2002 06:17 PM

Don't be so sure Dan. I consider myself an expert trainer.

Truly, their insider lockouts have become atrocious.

An expert trainer would never even think to use rare candy. Sure your levels go up but your pokemon's stats would be crap compared to a properly raised one. Lower than that of a wild pokemon even. Could never get the max out of your pokemon.

Ric 03-19-2002 03:27 PM

Yeah I agree, + the max experience they are surposed to reach is 1,000,000 Rare candy makes this number higher so you know they cheated. I usually sell Rare Candy when I play properly.

On the rare occasion that my mons reach level 100 naturally I then give them as many Carbos, Iron etc as they can have to get them to their MAX Stats. (Kengaskhan and Dragonite, none have ever defeated them.)

Drunk Hobbit 03-19-2002 03:59 PM

Well, here's a sure fired way to raise good pocket monsters.

Glenn the Hero 03-19-2002 10:16 PM

I got sick of Poekmon when I almost got an entire team up to level 100 in silver. Then someone jacked my Game Boy Color. From that moment on, I was fed up with Pokemon. Who would want to do that all over again? I lost all of my Red version AND silver version monsters...

When did I say i use Rare Candy? Ric said that once but he was joking and I said to him, "Ric, shame on you," in a joking manner but I never use rare candy. I would not be your typical opponet, I'm confident that I could probably beat you but let's stay on good terms and assume that we're both probably on the same level (no pun intended) :D

Ric 03-20-2002 12:14 PM

For the purpose of comparison here is a screenshot from Pokemon Gold. It is from an emulator so may have lost a little detail (eg. the water)

When looking at this you can appreciate just how different the GBA version actually looks.

Drunk Hobbit 03-20-2002 06:56 PM

*sigh* But even Pokémon Online, the game the programmer, Konidias, was making for bulbagarden.com looked better. It used updated sprites from the GB ones plus more vibrant colors and detail.

Here's was my character that I created for the game:

Joeiss 03-20-2002 07:21 PM

Well, the environment of the Pokemon Advance game is pretty good. But the character model looks the exact same as that of Pokemon G/S/C! That is compete udder bull****.

No it does'nt, not in the slightest, the one in G/S/C looks like a cool dude with his hat backward etc, this new one looks like a gay little sailor boy.

Oh, my bad. I meant graphics wise. Nintendo should have touched it up, even just a bit, to make us happy.

GameMaster 03-22-2002 01:26 AM

Pokémon just wouldn't be Pokémon without those cute little 16 bit people :rolleyes: ;)

newname 03-23-2002 11:32 AM

im never gonna re-respect those games until they stop making the games all basically alike gameplay and complexity wise, etc.:-o
