Pokemon? - Page 3

jalexbrown · 09-07-2009, 09:26 PM

Hell to the yeah! Back in the old days, I was a huge Pokemaniac. I had a full 151 Pokemon Pokedex on Blue, with every Pokemon at level 100. I admit to having to use a glitch to catch a Mew, but I *didn't* use a Gameshark, which was what all my friends were doing. I had a copy of Red that I used for Gameshark hacking, and I royally ***ked it up somehow. As luck would have it, I bought a copy of Silver when it first came out, and when I opened it and popped it in there was a player named TEST on the cartridge, and that player had every Pokemon. I called Nintendo on this, and they said that it wasn't uncommon for cartridges to slip through packaging without having the battery erased first. I might still have that Silver somewhere, and I never played it. I bought a second copy so I could keep that TEST character.

I am currently playing Pokemon Silver, and I see that they are remaking Gold and Silver version, HeartGold and SoulSilver for DS.

I would love it if they made a pokemon game that played like a modern zelda does. That is all folks. But if you wish I will contribute something more on topic. Lately I've considered playing blue again. Bada bing.

Pokemon like Modern Zelda how?

Christ. I just remembered that there is an Arceus event happening this weekend at EB Games. Can't wait until Thursday now...

I just can't see this happening.

If you mean a fully 3D Pokemon, then the entire world has been saying that for 10 years. Nintendo will never do it.

*Voltron* · 11-02-2009, 02:36 PM

Oh, man. . .I could see that being REALLY sweet.

*Powder* · 11-02-2009, 10:45 PM

yeah like peanut said basically... but like where you customize the appearance of your character, you being the human obviously, and you go through the same old places from red and blue (or whichever one you prefer) and have it be less of a role player.. (at least in the sense that you can attack through button combos rather then choosing attack and watching it happen). Im sure everyones said it why the hell cant they do it already?! garhsiufedf.

Because making it action-oriented would undermine the entire game? Pokemon is about slow-paced, turn-based strategy. That's just what it is, and that's why people either enjoy it or don't. Real time combat might be okay for a spin-off game, but it's not a place the main series ever will, or ever should go.

I'm totally with you on customizable characters though. For as much as the games are about customization, that's been sorely lacking. Especially now that there's online play.

*Ninjinister* · 11-05-2009, 11:29 PM

Yeah, why can't I give my Trainer visually customized? If I wanna give him a blonde fro and sunglasses, I should be able to, dammit!

I feel you in that the game is based on that, but taking pictures surely wasnt a strong format either.. (pokemon snap i think it was?) I'm not suggesting it be the mainstay, but rather as you said, a spin off.

As for ninjister, YES.

...goddamnit, now I want to play a Pokemon game like that now. Just so I can see a 3D version of that guy battle.

*Ninjinister* · 11-07-2009, 04:53 AM

And yet, Miror B. would still have the bangin'est fro in the series....

*Samhain* · 02-25-2010, 11:15 AM

Anyone getting the silver or gold remakes? Cant wait! Only a few more weeks left!

*Ninjinister* · 02-25-2010, 11:37 AM

I've still got to get through Platinum before I decide if I'm getting SoulSilver. I got it like, late last month and haven't been actively playing it since I'm trying to finish Starfy first.
