Forums - Nintendo Discussion - How could a pokemon nfc game impact the wii u?

Osc89 on 19 February 2013

Would this sell the system though? These kind of things sell really well by selling cheaply but consistently, for parents who get regular presents for their children. But to buy a whole console for it? Nintendo should sell more Wii U's first, then this kind of game would have a huge impact.

The question is really, if they made a nfc pokemon game, that played like skylanders, how much would that game sell? 

How does Skylanders play actually?

I do not own the game, but I have played it for a little while, and from what I could see, it was like some kind of rpg. At least, my point was that you get a open world where you play as your pokemons (figurines). 

So Skylanders plays similarly to Pokemon, but you 'catch' new types by buying the figurine?

From what I played, yes. I think there were some puzzles in the game too, like pushing blocks and so on and so forth. They could intergrate Hidden Machines for that.

It would be a big hit

"Hey little girl... I have these pokemons toys in the back of my van... would you like to see them?"

yep.. my body is ready..

I assume Skylanders has only around ten sorts of 'Pokemon', as the number present in Pokemon-games would be extremely expensive. So as I said before: a trading-card-game would do. You buy a booster with maybe ten cards of pokemon that are randomly put together.

I think they should be able to do a mix of figurines and cards.

OK, looks like the Skylanders-franchise makes parents poor. Pokemon would even a bit bigger. especially as the Pokemon-slogan is: Catch'em all!

It`s going to be called Pokémon Z with it`s own set of Pokémon. You will also be able to fight with 3DS' X and Y online and locally and gather more Pokémons.

Could work...

Are you sure that would be a good idea? X and Y owners can just catch the pokemons, while the "z" owners need to buy them? XD

Kids can get quite a lot if they just want to. Also, a mario kart or a 3d mario are supposed to come out this holyday to, so those will get a lot of system owners out.
