Pokemon

you guys seen this http://uk.media.wii.ign.com/media/142/14209901/imgs_1.html

An exclusive title for Nintendo's Wii Ware downloadable gaming service, this game lets you transfer your Pokemon over from Pearl and Diamond. You can then raise your little friends in a farm-like environment. You're free to bring your Mii and your family's Miis to your ranch and can do things like taking pictures of your Pokemon which can then be sent to friends.


I wont get it as I don't have a DS and pokemon anymore but this looks fun
 
Yeah, I posted that a few pages back. That's very cool.

I can't wait to play it.

Ahhh didn't notice , I was just looking for rpgs on Wii , I found that and at first thought "Ohhhhh maybe it's a 3d pokemon game" but I was wrong , It's still looked cool though
 
Huh. That's very interesting, actually. I think that would be real useful to raising them. If the people that did Pokemon were smart, they'd turn this into a MMORPG and make **** loads of money off it.
 
Yay! Pokemon snap is supposed to be going to wii VC :D I loved that game.

Wii £179.99
Game cube pad £9.99
Wii points £14.99
hitting pickachu in the head with a apple so he has a look of brain damage on his face - Priceless :lol:
 
Every Nintendo game ever is supposed to be going to the VC (minus GCube).

Although thinking about it, I wonder if "Hey you, Pikachu!" would still work properly...

never played that game. I admit though I really really loved snap , it was simple and fun.
 
Hehe. I never played Snap myself. :p

:lol: You must , It's fun as hell. the only annoying level is the last one as there is just one pokemon to take a picture out of and it's a pain to get it to do it right.


but speaking of pokemon snap






:lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Okay, so the official relase for Pokemon Snap on the VC is tomorrow (12/4/07) for Japan, and this time next week (12/10/07) for the U.S. according to Serebii.net.

Holy crap! They have added a new feature to pokemon snap. When you have the game :

1. Photograph that Pokemon
2. Add it to Album
3. Save and quit
4. Go to gallary
5. Move your photo to the screen where you enlarge it
6. Enlarge it
7. On your WiiMote or Classic Controller, press minus (-)

and you can send 1 picture a day to your message board , the picture you can send to friends on your list , That is cool as hell
 
I piked up Battle Revolution today because I couldn't find another game I was looking for (Mario Party DS).

And now that I have the game, I can't find my Pearl version! :arrgh:


I do have Diamond version, but that file is at the beggining since I started out with Pearl.

I've and others mentioned this on the board before, and I've been talking about this to Proj. on MSN and some friends, but a Pokemon MMORPG would be the bestest Pokemon game ever.

Could you imagine that?


I see it like this:


Regions/starting point:

First, you would get to choose any region to start out with (which is like another MMORPG called Tibia, where they let you choose where to start). The game would have some (if not all) the regions from all the handheld games. Kanto, Hoeen, Sinnohh, etc.


Starting Pokemon:

Getting to choose wherever you start means the starting Pokemon from that region that were from the game will remain the same. So if someone starts out in Kanto (Pallet Town being the home town of your character) you'll start out with either Charmander, Bulbasaur, or Squirtle for example. Real easy.


About other starting Pokemon:

So now you're probably asking, "Well, what about the other starting Pokemon from this other regions? Will we be able to get them?" The answer is yes. Whatever you pick from your region, you'd be able to get the other two and others from the other regions throughout the game. There are always wild ones around (in the cartoon) so why not here, too, since the game will be big enough to have them running around at whatever points?


Wild Pokemon:

This one could be tricky. I would like to see the wild Pokemon running around, but it would be too much really. So instead, maybe there can be some running around here and there, but mainly it could be like in the game where you they pop up randomly.


Trainers:

A point that Proj. popped up is that when you fight trainers, it should be other people you're fighting. I wouldn't mind some CPU, but it not mostly.


Gym battles/Pokemon League:

Obviously this would still be in the game. But I would like to have the Pokemon League be a mixture of the cartoon and the game. I would love to have the aspect of round fighting like the cartoons, but I also would like to fight an elite 4. This would be a tricky part to figure out.


Pokemon fighting:

Who else is tired of the "Want to forget this move to do learn that move?"? I mean, the RPG game would be like console RPGs where you would have ALL moves. They just would be seperated into 'categories' and such.


Expansion packs:

Obviously not everything would be available from the get-go. So areas like the Orange Islands for example would be an expansion pack.


Pokemon Roster/Storage Pokemon:

The 6-rule carrying Pokemon wouldn't change. So this will still be that any Pokemon you capture goes to your storage if your roster is full. Oh, and the storage- I'd keep the name Bill for here since he was the original designer.


Safari Pokemon:

I am tired, seriously tired of the Safari having pokemon that you can easily capture anywhere else in the game. I miss it how in the original games it was always (as far as I remember) only Pokemon that were not wild throughout the region. Otherwise, the Safari is pointless. I dont wanna pay 500 Pokedollars for Pokemon I can just go outside of the place and catch. It's just utterly stupid.



I think I've covered all the major points, but what does everyone else think?
 
I think pretty much everything you've said is bloody brilliant, Ice. My friends and I talked about this years ago (Around the time of Gold and Silver, I think) and it really would be the best thing that could possibly happen. I would definitely play and I think a lot of my friends, who stopped caring about Pokemon long ago, would be very interested to see this.

A couple of amendments, suggestions, and comments, though.

1) The MMO should take place after the other four generations. It is generally recognized that RBGY/FRLG and RSE take place at the same time and GSC and DP take place at the same time, after the first and third generations. You'd be in a world after all of that where trainers Red, Gold, Ruby and Diamond would be Legendary Pokemon Masters. Essentially, they'd be the final "bosses" of their specific regions. They'd be the hardest CPU opponents the game had to offer.

2) All of the previous evil teams should return in an antagonistic role for their specific region. Team Rocket for Kanto and Johto, Teams Aqua and Magma for Hoenn, and Team Galactic for Sinnoh. Changes that happened to Kanto in GSC should remain as well. For example, Green should be the leader of the Viridian Gym, Janine should lead the Fuchsia Gym, Koga should be part of the Elite Four, Lance should be Champion and Giovanni should still be missing. Giovanni and the two missing Elite Four members, Lorelei and Agatha, should be special battles elsewhere.

3) It should be very, very difficult to capture Legendary pokemon. Possibly have it so that Legendary pokemon are not only incredibly rare, but can only be captured in a certain time frame every year or so. They should also be incredibly powerful, possibly more so then they are in the games.

4) There should be two Pokemon Leagues. One is the CPU League, where you have to go through all eight gyms in the region to fight the Elite Four and the Champion. The other League should be a Player versus Player tournament. The winner receives the title of Pokemon Champion until the next tournament, which could be month to month or may even once every three months.

5) Trainers, Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, the Champion, and the "Legendary Pokemon Masters" should be much, much harder then they are in the regular games. An MMO thrives on things that take time. What worked in the regular games wouldn't work here.

6) I'm not sure the static battling of the regular games would work well. A revamp of the battling system would be needed, whether it works like directly controlling the pokemon in Super Smash Bros, controlling the pokemon like a character in an MMO (Not as action based as a SSB control scheme), or whether you control the trainer giving orders to the pokemon with added actions such as dodge, jump, etc.

7) I think it'd be best to start out with just the Kanto and Johto regions, but make them much larger, possibly with smaller towns and longer routes. Have Hoenn and Sinnoh be expansions and then start taking other areas of Japan (Like how the current four regions are modeled after areas of Japan) and creating regions, characters, storylines and, of course, new pokemon around them. This game could make the handheld games obsolete with monthly fees (Unfortunate but probably necessary from a business standpoint) and yearly expansions.

Thanks on the compliment.

Thanks again.I for got to mention two of the ones you did. The evil teams/gangs were also a part of the talk I had with my friends. They really should come back. Team Rocket/Magma/Galactic, all, in the regions they were in. I wouldn't mind maybe Jesse and James popping up once in a while in other regions as a little homage to the cartoon show.

And I agree about the changes to the gym leaders/Eliter 4. Also about Giovanni. That's great, also.


3) It should be very, very difficult to capture Legendary pokemon. Possibly have it so that Legendary pokemon are not only incredibly rare, but can only be captured in a certain time frame every year or so. They should also be incredibly powerful, possibly more so then they are in the games.

Yes, that's the same thing I thought of. It should be hard and challenging.

4) There should be two Pokemon Leagues. One is the CPU League, where you have to go through all eight gyms in the region to fight the Elite Four and the Champion. The other League should be a Player versus Player tournament. The winner receives the title of Pokemon Champion until the next tournament, which could be month to month or may even once every three months.
I like that. I really do. I think that would be the best way to go.

5) Trainers, Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, the Champion, and the "Legendary Pokemon Masters" should be much, much harder then they are in the regular games. An MMO thrives on things that take time. What worked in the regular games wouldn't work here.
Agreed.

6) I'm not sure the static battling of the regular games would work well. A revamp of the battling system would be needed, whether it works like directly controlling the pokemon in Super Smash Bros, controlling the pokemon like a character in an MMO (Not as action based as a SSB control scheme), or whether you control the trainer giving orders to the pokemon with added actions such as dodge, jump, etc.
Hmm. That'd be something to think of. I personally think it could be best where it's like the game where you give out the orders and the Pokemon attack. Also, what I forgot to mention, which was what were were supposedly getting in PBR (but it seems false) where the scenery does indeed change after a battle. So if there's a tree and a beam hits it, and the tree falls down, the tree stays like that after a battle. I wouldn't mind the option though where you could get the chance to help rebuild/replant, etc.

7) I think it'd be best to start out with just the Kanto and Johto regions, but make them much larger, possibly with smaller towns and longer routes. Have Hoenn and Sinnoh be expansions and then start taking other areas of Japan (Like how the current four regions are modeled after areas of Japan) and creating regions, characters, storylines and, of course, new pokemon around them. This game could make the handheld games obsolete with monthly fees (Unfortunate but probably necessary from a business standpoint) and yearly expansions.
That's great. That's a better idea.
