Well, it seems like there will be a PokeMon game for the GCN by summer in Japan but from early translations, it doesn't seem like it will be a full fledged RPG like many had hope but closer to something like PokeMon Stadium or something.

The game will require the use of either one of the new PokeMon games either Ruby or Sapphire, but I don't know what the connection is for, I guess we just got to wait for more info.

wut the hell, it requires gba and either Ruby or Sapphire? god damn it nintendo.

Is Nintendo stupid? Why the hell wouldn't they make a real rpg? It's gonna be stupid if Pkmn GC ends up like a Pokemon Stadium or Pkmn Puzzle League. Don't they realize that many people would buy a real pokemon rpg on GCN? I know I would.

They need to make a 3D Pokemon games. Basically like Gold/Silver/etc....but in full 3D. They dont really need anymore Stadiums unless it is gonna be massively larger and have a much larger point to the game.

Pokemon Puzzle League was fun...

Pokemon Stadium was a piece of ****.
I wish they just made a good solid Pokemon RPG game for the GameCube...maybe even with Online capabilities. But nooooo..

No, I dont think they do.

If Nintendo made a Pokemon RPG that was over the internet, you know, one of those MMORPGs or whatever they are called, I would probably buy a GCN just for that.

Yes, that would be a dumb move on Nintendo's part. It's like lately, they're affraid to deliver vicious blows.

Lately, every damn thing they do seem way too conservative.

Anyway, let's keep things in perspective and remember that details are still quite sketchy. From what I know...

A Pokemon GameCube game has long been in development. I seriously doubt that they'd take that long with a mere spin-off, "franchise milker" type game.

It's also quite possible that they're indeed making an RPG, and a Pokemon Stadium mode will be included, making both outlooks true at the same time. Well, time will reveal all, enventually.

Well, there is some more info for you to try and speculate on:

-There are about 180 PokeMon in ruby and Sapphire you can't capture. (I'm not 100% sure if that is accurate but it does seem to be a great number of PokeMon , you can't capture) Also the majority of them seem to be from Blue/Red/Silver/Gold/Crystal/Yellow or legendary PokeMon. The fact that you caon't trade from the old one also helps.

-It seems that Kanto and Johto aren't accessible from thegame so go figure.

Now that I think about it. This could be somewhat of a good ploy by Nintendo to make people buy a GameCube just to unlock all the Pokemon. I can see it now. About a month or 2 after its release, 'Cube sales will soar for a while because kids will be begging their mothers to buy a Gamecube and the link cable so that they can get all the Pokemon.
