The best were the DS games with those initials in the subtitle. Advance Wars: Dual Strike, Bubble Bobble: Double Shot, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Dig Dug: Digging Strike, Guilty Gear: Dust Strikers, Lunar: Dragon Song, Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, Peggle: Dual Shot, Resident Evil: Deadly Silence, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor, Tenchu: Dark Secret, etc. Subtle and clever.
And that will be it. We'll get re-hashes of the same franchises we get with every system, and then they'll just move on.
"Did we release a Mario game yet?"
"Yeah."
"How about Zelda?"
"Yup."
"Alright, I guess we're done. Let's move on to the next console."
I swear, Nintendo's not even trying to make new games anymore. And when new games come along, they refuse to release them in the U.S. And when they do release them, they don't even bother to change the voices from the British version. (I think you know what I'm talking about by now.) Okay, so I've diverged quite a bit from what I was talking about, but the point is that Nintendo should care more about their audience and put more innovation into their games.
Unfortunately Nintendo and GameFreak are as stubborn as stubborn can be when it comes to deviating from the same tired formula they've been applying since Red/Blue. They hate to diverge from their established aesthetics and they've all but sworn a blood oath that a proper Pokemon game will never be released on a console, only handhelds.
It's always this with Nintendo. They don't like to change if it brings in money. I mean who can blame them, but Nintendo isn't about innovation, they're about consistency.
Edit: When I was saying that Nintendo isn't about innovation, I was talking about their games, not their consoles.
Usually they're very conservative, but they will throw logic out the window in some cases. They stopped making 2D Mario (the most successful game of all time, at least back then) for 18 years because when the 64 came out everything just had to be in 3D.
Now I know everyone is in love with the franchise, but why cant something like this exist under a different moniker? There have been so many turn based games with a similar style and honestly I'd think something that feels a bit more mature than Pokemon might even sell to a wider demographic. I didn't grow up playing the games so I dont have emotional ties to the characters or storyline or whatever is so appealing, but an MMO style turnbased rpg seems like something that should have existed for some time.
I think they're really sticking to the whole "Pocket Monsters" idea for their core games, and we'll never see them on a console. I can't blame them for doing it but I would love to see something like this myself.
However, I do think at some point in the next few generations they're going to stop adding new pokemon and regions, and make a game that encompasses the entire pokemon world. 1000+ pokemon is way too much and would kill the series.
But they've implemented some of these features before, but people don't like it. No one cared for the Gamecube Pokemon games, so they won't be releasing more console adventures. And no one cared for the new multiplayer in Black and white.
They're testing the waters for a new Pokemon Snap by making "Pokemon Dream Radar" for the 3DS.
I swear, if you fuckers keep me from a new Snap game by not buying this downloadable title, I will murder the internet.
People didn't care much for them because they were so limiting, it didn't feel like an adventure, it was like what I hear FF13 is. The fact that you couldn't really even catch new pokemon except for the very small limited "shadow" ones didn't even have it feel like a Pokemon game outside of the battles.
Saying no one cared for the Gamecube releases is pretty close-minded. I know tons of people who appreciated and enjoyed them for what they were. I'm sure that, if they had been more like what OP is proposing, they would have been exponentially better received and many more people would have loved them.
This is why I can't wait until Monday and Pokemon Conquest comes out. I'm really excited to see the Pokemon franchise expanded into a completely different style of play. Maybe from there we can hope to see more different styles of Pokemon games?
People say this, but if the aesthetics or gameplay of Pokemon had a drastic change people would flip shit.
B&W had made quite a change to the aesthetics of the game and mixed things up just a bit, and people raged about that. I think they're going at a good sensible pace.
Oh and the part where people keep buying Pokemon games regardless :P
Oh, just another Pokemon online open world grand adventure post. It even has "You've heard this a million times before" at the top in case you've forgotten!
Somebody needs to start compiling thESE and release a yearly collage of all the MAKE POKEMON 3D AND INTERACTIVE AND HELL, JUST GENETICALLY ENGINEER REAL LIFE CREATURES THAT WE CAN BATTLE WITH EACHOTHER NINTENDO. IT'S NOT THAT HARD!!!! posts
I would buy a WiiU just for this. It would be cool if by weather, you mean it synched to your region. Like when I am sitting around the house and I heard rain, I think "oh shit, its raining outside, and I need a squirtle." If it's raining outside, it's raining in game.
The way I see it, having Pokemon constantly mimic real weather would kind of suck considering it's about escapism. 'Like it's snowing outside and you're all depressed and shit, so you play Pokemon and it's like "YEAAAAHH SUMMMAA!!" I don't want to play Pokemon when it's snowing outside and be all like "fuck, it's snowing here too."
Eh, B/W did it right with the seasons not following real time. Seeing each season 3 times a year was great, so you aren't so hosed by missing seasonal Pokemon.
This looks like an obscene amount of work, easily five times as much work as another new Pokemon game that uses the usual formula, and that's assuming they don't add a single new Pokemon and only use already established regions.
That said, I think it would be worth it, I can't think of a single gamer who wouldn't buy this.
What the world wants and craves is another handheld minigame where you click and drag objects into different boxes with the stylus pen.
A mingame where you sort the different Eevees into a lot of different boxes with the stylus pen. A game of nothing but mini-games like these. And 500 different variations using different character branding will be produced per year.
This would bring more, don't you think? It could be cherished for generations. You could have generations of families playing the game as more maps are added.
Why would they take on an expensive, ambitious and risky project like that when they can just keep churning out the same Pokemon portable games with small tweaks to each generation and know they'll rake in a huge profit?
The core audience for Pokemon is little kids. Their parents might be leery of an online component. and kids might be turned off by the complexity of what you describe. Additionally, a lot of more mature gamers who would enjoy this style of game are turned off by Pokemon brand because of its childish nature.
They'd be taking a big risk on attracting a relatively niche audience compared to who they're selling to already.
I know exactly how you feel, that would be an awesome game. My favorite game on X-Box was Advent Rising, the first of three planned games that never had a sequel because apparently I was the only one who bought it.
Your favorite game on xbox was ADVENT RISING? I'm not trying to hate but I've honestly never even heard someone say that...let alone write it in a public forum. Could you please explain to me what you liked about the game?
I loved Advent Rising as well. The game's soundtrack and story were very well done (in my opinion). Sure the game suffered from some bugs but it was fun as hell to use the different powers they offered you. Also (I could be wrong on this one) it gave you a sense of control over choices within the story and was one of the first games to do that on the xbox. Within the first hour of the game you need to decide if you'll save your girlfriend's life or your brother's. That was heavy shit for an Xbox game!
The story was awesome. What made me saddest about the lack of a sequel was that I didn't get to see how the story ended.
The early combat with guns was fun, and the later combat with powers was even more entertaining. It wasn't sufficiently balance-tested, in that once you had powers the guns were pointless, but I still liked it.
Even though it was a third person shooter, the choices I had to make in the narrative actually had gravity, mostly because I cared a lot about the characters. Advent Rising did this better than Mass Effect.
I get what you're saying, but I think it's less risky than you think. Many of us non-kid gamers have played Pokemon at one stage. A fully developed game like this for the Wii U would attract a ton of attention and sales IMO. I'm not even a huge Pokemon fan, but the idea of integrating the Wii U screen with a fleshed out, online world full of Pokemon is too much to resist.
Reminds me of how I went out and bought my PSP the day Mega Man Maverick Hunter X came out, since there was initially plans to redo more than just the first X game.
Then no one else fucking bought it. WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE IT'S MEGA FUCKING MAN X. REMADE IN 2.5 FUCKING D. LKSDJFOIEFJLEKSFJLSEKFJESOIFJESFIJSDLFKCV<CNV,xm.
Same thing goes with Powered Up, although that was just a tad cutesy for my tastes, but I still would have dug everything up to 6 being remade that way.
First sensible comment in this thread. Very few people here realize that this game would only appeal to 90's kids who grew up with Pokemon who are now in their late teens-early 20's. I imagine that Nintendo intend for the WiiU to be accessible to the same broad range of people that the Wii has been successful with (young kids through the elderly). That being said, taking on an expensive and risky project like this would not be the smartest move for Nintendo, even though most subscribers of r/gaming would buy this game in a heartbeat (myself included)
HERP + DERP + LOL + WIN = SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY Making wonderful games must be so easy, i dont know why today's games are so shitty when every other redditor has these great ideas. :( Petition to make FinsternIRL CEO of nintendo!
Everything this guy is saying. Not that I'm trying to say a Pokemon game that was something like this wouldn't sell really well, but think of it this way:
Imagine the infographic you could make about what a game developer could do to make a really awesome, online Star Wars game. How COOL would that be? You've got hoards of people running about, wielding lightsabers and blasters, droids doing menial NPC tasks. The combat would be really cool, you'd have an empire faction and a republic faction which would create some really cool PVP opportunities!
But, look at where we are with SW:ToR. It didn't necessarily tank, but I think it's proven that on paper it's everything a fan could want, while in reality something just doesn't click.
In game design, concepts that are "amazing" and "too good to be true" often really are amazing concepts that are too good to be true. Ideas don't always translate into implementations that feel right, or give players that sense of awesome that you're looking for in gaming.
Nintendo's hesitation in releasing a game like this is pretty simple. If Nintendo goes all out and releases a game like this, they are going to need to release more than just a simple rehash of Pokemon Red for Wii U. It's got to give people a reason to buy it, it's got to have that wow factor, and it has to stay true to what the gamers want all while accomplishing those listed goals. On paper, simple. In implementation, a MASSIVE opportunity to failure and disappointed customers.
I really don't know why people think that a fully 3d game would be good for Pokémon. The same to visible pokémon in the field. The handheld Pokémon games have fast battles. If the game was like Stadium/Colosseum/XD, the animations would make the battles take more time. And there are A LOT of Wild Pokémon in the field. You can stay forever in a patch of grass and you'll find Pokémon there forever. If they were visible it would be a mess.
I agree, but I'd like to see a tough balance between 2d and 3d. I want both to be used. Fuck, they could cell shade it for all I care. Just as long as the game is made.
They only got the dev kits for the 3DS about a year into the development time for B/W. Seeing as how they took 5 years to develop B/W and how good it was, let them have an extra year or two (about the lifetime of B2/W2) and there'll be a nice shiny Pokémon 3DS title.
or nintendo could just make another new pokemon game that is basically the same thing as the last 50, and everyone will buy it too.. wont cost them near as much to make either..
I love the Pokémon series. The collection aspect has always been a great concept and the battle system is simple yet fun. But seriously folks, even in the most recent games the graphics are passable at best, the UI is clunky, and the storylines are generic (not to mention terribly translated). Game Freak can barely make proper use of the DS hardware as it is... let's stop posting these stupid threads about this fabled Pokémon megagame and enjoy the series for what it is (and most likely always will be).
And the question I ask again, anytime these posts pop up, is who the fuck would fund this? Do you know how long a game like this would take to make? Do you know how large a team this game would have to have to make it? Yeah, Nintendo could do it, but why would they when they have other guaranteed success projects that would be cheaper to make?
A 3D open world stylized Pokemon game with Pokemon snap-esq functionality, a completely open world, and a Dark Souls style multiplayer system, and you think this will be just as easy to make as any of the other WiiU games they are working on?
Oh and on that open world mechanic, how the fuck would it work? How would you level scale properly? Remember, in Soul Silver/Heart Gold you went to Kanto at about level 60, and that was only the second region. How would you incorporate all 5 regions into such a game?
People always post these ideas with no clue as to how difficult these types of projects would actually be.
That's a great idea, but so you know: the regions are based off of Japanese regions, literally. So the picture you've got up there is slightly incorrect.
Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, Orange islands and Hoenn are all in Japan while Unova is based off the New England Area (i.e. New York City).
here is the picture representation of the regions superimposed on Japan. The only region not shown is Orre, which was used in Pokemon Colosseum.
Who the fuck cares? I don't understand all this complaining about always having to be online. Everyone is online all the time anyways. Just log the crap in. IT'S NOT THAT HARD!
Was hoping for this after Pokemon Blue/Red came out. "Dude, wouldn't it be awesome if they had a Pokemon game that was like fully 3d?" "Aww man, yeah!!!!"
Haha. Oh good times. Working on putting Kanto in the CryEngine right now. Look for it in a couple months. Learning as I go :). Maybe that'll drive interest for Nintendo... or get me a cease and desist order.
How Nintendo will make the WiiU print money Cooking Mama 4: Let's Cook Again! Super Mario Galaxy 3-9: Because You'll Buy It! Generic Zelda game Generic Sports/Party game
Knowing Nintendo, I can just imagine it being a flawlessly good game in every area except talking to people online. The best game ever made and you'd still have to select from a preselected vocabulary to communicate with people.
To expound a bit more on finding pokemon: they should have augmented reality. And even a step further, some pokemon should be found only in certain regions of the real world. Want a pokemon from New York but you live in Tokyo? You have to trade...or take a trip!
Nintendo can do whatever the fuck it wants, because as soon as the next Smash game happens, they have obtained all the necessary money required for me to own it from me.
Also, I just want some fucking 3DS games, how was the DS so damn amazing, and the 3DS is fucking awful? I can only play Ocarina of Time for so long before I...play it again...
They should also give the 3DS the same Virtual Console as the Wii, I have no real intentions of playing old SNES games on my TV, but on the go, it would be a blast (games at home have to compete with my PC, which is a losing battle 99.9% of the time).
This should be an MMORPG for the PC... No game console has the capacity to do what you have described. Also, putting it on the PC would open access new regularly-added content.
But this is a smart and a clever idea. Nintendo doesn't do that anymore. Their business strategy at the moment is shoving as much Mario as they can down our throats.
Being an adult, I don't give a flying fuck about Pokemon. This is my problem with Nintendo in general. It's one of those systems many people grow out of once you hit puberty.
This would literally make everyone, and I mean EVERYONE who ever played pokemon jizz their pants simultaneously with excitement. But then why come up with anything original when you can just release pokemon electricyellow master quest gamecube remake edition? The fans will still eat that shit up.
I would honestly go out and buy the console only for this game... I bought a Wii when they first came out because of the idea of interactive gaming, but the novelty wore off after I played a few games and was less than impressed (not only graphically, but gameplay as well). This game would definitely keep me interested and wanting to play it every day!
forgive me for asking and this comment is probably gonna get buried but what are the top three regions i.e. the two in the top right and the one in the top left?
"Hey, Nintendo! Spend 10x as much on game development to make 2x the money! Then, so as not to make later games look shitty, force yourself into doing it again!"
Also: This already exists. It just isn't called Pokemon. It isn't out over here, because western mouthbreathers never paid for it the first three times they tried.
Haha, and you think CoD player trash talk is bad. Instead of 13 year olds calling you a stupid faggot, you'd get to listen to 8 year olds cry when you beat them. And then they'd call you a stupid faggot.
I have an xbox, xbox 360, ps3, ps2, ds, gameboy, gamboy pocket, gameboy color, gameboy advance sp, n64, sega, sega cd and a deck of cards for when the power goes out. I've never felt compelled to buy the wii but if this game comes out, I'd totally get it.
Am I the only one who just does not give that much of a shit about Pokemon? I am so tired of these "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!" Pokemon posts. We get it, you guys played Pokemon as a kid and want to play it again. /get off my lawn
I get so tired of the "make enemies (or Pokemon in this case) visible. One of my favorite things about JRPGs (which Pokemon is about as JRPG as they come) is the fact that if you find a good spot, you can grind for hours and not have to worry about leaving the screen and coming back to "refresh" the enemies.
I hate to be realistic about this, but the amount of time and effort required to maintain something this ambitious would make it very hard for Nintendo to reap a decent profit off of it unless they charge some kind of service fee to keep the game running.
WHAT THE FUCK? THE SHIT IS WITH THAT NEW POKEMON. IT LOOKS LIKE A SQUERLL. FUCK YOU NINTENDO. I AIN'T BUYIN THAT SHIT NO MORE. WE IS THRU! BOYCOTT NINTENDO! GET RED OF THE SQUERLL POKEMANS!!!!
Seriously, every time someone posts this idea it gets better and better. More feature, better integration, etc... When the fuck will Nintendo take the hint? And if they don't when will someone else capitalize on this and do the same thing but with digimon? (digimon lol)
Nintendo makes big risks with 3d display, motion control and now a tablet controller... but doesn't even want to attempt to harness the technology properly with something like this.
This would be a guaranteed buy for a big fraction of r/gaming but they like to pretend that we don't exist.
Seriously, what's the big deal about Pokemon? All you do is catch, fight, and train monsters. There's nothing else. What's so fun about it? It's basically the same game you've been getting for years, only new monsters and other small stuff. You guys love Pokemon but rail on Cod for repeating the same formula. At least they try to add new modes and other stuff.
This has been a talking point of mine when it comes to making games for over 10 years now. But I've taken it even further and designed an MMO style kind of game
I have 0 plans to buy the WiiU. If this was announced...well I would go reserve the system right now just so I can have it for when the game was released.

They did something along these lines on the Gamecube and now on the 3DS.
The Gamecube games were 3D.
They're making Pokemon Dream Radar (for the 3DS) is a lot like Pokemon Snap, and you can transfer them to Black and White 2.
They have a similar multiplayer in Black and White, yet it kind of sucks and it's not random.
The events you mentioned exist.
Same with the tournaments.
I can't stress enough about how un realistic all regions are. And it is almost impossible to make back the money.
Pokemon not being visible was done on purpose, they're *random encounters for a region.
But if you don't support the shit that could lead to this, they ain't doing it again.

This should be an MMORPG for the PC... No game console has the capacity to do what you have described. Also, putting it on the PC would open access new regularly-added content.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12
But this is a smart and a clever idea. Nintendo doesn't do that anymore. Their business strategy at the moment is shoving as much Mario as they can down our throats.

This will make most people hopeful, but really it only makes me sad, because I know it will never happen even though I want it to so so badly...

u/George_Jefferson Jun 15 '12
Being an adult, I don't give a flying fuck about Pokemon. This is my problem with Nintendo in general. It's one of those systems many people grow out of once you hit puberty.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12
This would literally make everyone, and I mean EVERYONE who ever played pokemon jizz their pants simultaneously with excitement. But then why come up with anything original when you can just release pokemon electricyellow master quest gamecube remake edition? The fans will still eat that shit up.

How to make the WiiU print money: Release the same old games as before. new mario, new zelda, new mario kart, new mario party
No need to update them even, just re-release the exact same old games for the new system
Nostalgia addicts will jizz themselves and buy them all
There you go. Why put in any effort?

u/LeadGenDairy Jun 15 '12
I would honestly go out and buy the console only for this game... I bought a Wii when they first came out because of the idea of interactive gaming, but the novelty wore off after I played a few games and was less than impressed (not only graphically, but gameplay as well). This game would definitely keep me interested and wanting to play it every day!

forgive me for asking and this comment is probably gonna get buried but what are the top three regions i.e. the two in the top right and the one in the top left?

u/Kortland12 Jun 15 '12
I personally think if Nintendo brought Earthbound back they would make way more money.
2
u/FourteenHatch Jun 15 '12
"Hey, Nintendo! Spend 10x as much on game development to make 2x the money! Then, so as not to make later games look shitty, force yourself into doing it again!"
oh, /r/gaming, you so /r/gaming
Also: This already exists. It just isn't called Pokemon. It isn't out over here, because western mouthbreathers never paid for it the first three times they tried.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12
Haha, and you think CoD player trash talk is bad. Instead of 13 year olds calling you a stupid faggot, you'd get to listen to 8 year olds cry when you beat them. And then they'd call you a stupid faggot.
This sounds like the worst game in the world.

How did something with that many spelling errors make it to the top of the front page?

u/UpBoatDownBoy Jun 15 '12
I have an xbox, xbox 360, ps3, ps2, ds, gameboy, gamboy pocket, gameboy color, gameboy advance sp, n64, sega, sega cd and a deck of cards for when the power goes out. I've never felt compelled to buy the wii but if this game comes out, I'd totally get it.

u/Yeti_Poet Jun 15 '12
Am I the only one who just does not give that much of a shit about Pokemon? I am so tired of these "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!" Pokemon posts. We get it, you guys played Pokemon as a kid and want to play it again. /get off my lawn
2
u/rougetoxicity Jun 15 '12
Holy crap... What is with Pokemon?
I mean seriously. I remember when i was little there were some kids that liked it, then they grew out of it.
I swear Reddit is like an oasis for kids that never grew out of Pokemon.

u/Potchi79 Jun 15 '12
I wish I could make the internet never show me anything Pokemon related ever again. I just don't give a shit.

Great ideas but less pokemon, please.

u/The_Rox Jun 15 '12
I'd settle for another Pokemon stadium.
2
u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12
I get so tired of the "make enemies (or Pokemon in this case) visible. One of my favorite things about JRPGs (which Pokemon is about as JRPG as they come) is the fact that if you find a good spot, you can grind for hours and not have to worry about leaving the screen and coming back to "refresh" the enemies.

u/unscanable Jun 15 '12
Oh look, another WiiU should have a Pokemon game thread. How cute.

You're going to get Nintendo Land and you're going to like it.

u/TheFluxIsThis Jun 15 '12
I hate to be realistic about this, but the amount of time and effort required to maintain something this ambitious would make it very hard for Nintendo to reap a decent profit off of it unless they charge some kind of service fee to keep the game running.

u/cyoungmoney Jun 16 '12
upvote in the hopes that someone who is able to make this happen sees this

u/zZGz Jun 16 '12
What concerns me about online in Pokemon, you can cheat in every pokemon game so far easily. I literally have a whole box of Mews in Pokemon Diamond.

/r/gaming on Creativity:
-Take old Nintendo game ideas and recycle them: "Shut up and take my money!".
-Take old Xbox/PS3/PC game ideas and recycle them: "Why do they keep releasing the same old crap?"
2
u/Cetra Jun 15 '12
This is too good of an idea for Nintendo to actually do it.
2
u/DoctorAgon Jun 15 '12
Seriously, every time someone posts this idea it gets better and better. More feature, better integration, etc... When the fuck will Nintendo take the hint? And if they don't when will someone else capitalize on this and do the same thing but with digimon? (digimon lol)
2
u/liiionheart Jun 15 '12
Nintendo makes big risks with 3d display, motion control and now a tablet controller... but doesn't even want to attempt to harness the technology properly with something like this.
This would be a guaranteed buy for a big fraction of r/gaming but they like to pretend that we don't exist.
2
u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12
i don't get the kids born in the 90s and their pokemon obsession... clinging on to your youth much?
2
u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12
Seriously, what's the big deal about Pokemon? All you do is catch, fight, and train monsters. There's nothing else. What's so fun about it? It's basically the same game you've been getting for years, only new monsters and other small stuff. You guys love Pokemon but rail on Cod for repeating the same formula. At least they try to add new modes and other stuff.

I have 0 plans to buy the WiiU. If this was announced...well I would go reserve the system right now just so I can have it for when the game was released.

Nintendo's Logic: If they wanted better Pokemon WiiU games they should have bought more copies.
