Anyway, what does Nintendo need to do.

3D. You start off in your hometown, you pick one of three Pokemon. And you begin your adventure.

I want to see a full 3D world with all the Pokemon, all the gym leaders. I want to be able to actually fly and surf and do all that crap. If Blizzard can accomplish this with WoW I think Nintendo can do this with Pokemon. How cool would it be to be flying over the Pokemon world, and to encounter a bird pokemon and get into a battle in the air. Also, 3D battles will allow more User-Enemy interaction. It would be really cool if you could control your pokemon's attacks or actually control them in a fight. How cool would it be to get into a fight in the water.....or to explore caves in the water. I always thought that the random cave battles in Pokemon were the most annoying things EVER. It would be cool to make the 3D transition so you actually can see the Zubats in the caves, or whatever.

Considering how kick ass Zelda is, or Mario...full, expansive, 3D worlds....it's a real shame that Nintendo hasn't taken Pokemon in the 3D direction. But why would they. People (new and old generations of Nintendo fans) continue to shell out cash for essentially the same game remade over and over on Nintendo's handhelds.

It would be awesome if Nintendo opened it up so you could join some public server and explore the world with other people. Battle your rivals, or group up with your friends and go explore new areas.

If Nintendo went and remade Red/Blue/Yellow in 3D, just with the original 151 Pokemon, I'd buy a Wii, a wireless router, and that game for my college dorm. I'm not even kidding.




Not to retread over my first awesome post in this thread criticizing Nintendo....but Nintendo's idea of progressive gaming with Pokemon is ADDING MORE POKEMON.

I mean seriously, how many Pokemon can you add before people stop caring....

Progression is not adding more Pokemon. Progressive is making the transition to 3D...like back in the N64/Cube days.




Oh well, it's fun to talk about hypothetical Pokemon games.

I used to be a fan, back in the day. I caught all 150 Pokemon, then went out and bought a gameshark so I could get mew. I remember the missingno exploit. Then I bought Gold/Silver and was blown away again. The addition of Night/Day, feeding, raising/hatching was totally progressive and added a lot of much needed depth. The fact that Gold/Silver also included the Red/Blue/Yellow world made it that much more the better. Those games sucked up hours of my time. I actually have been meaning to go back and replay Gold or Silver. One of these days...
