| Rainbird said: Both Smashchu2 and KylieDog bring up excellent points, though I doubt sales would be all that invigorated by any changes like that. As Montana said, the fad died. I agree with the whole sentiment, that too much is being recycled, both gameplay wise and technology wise. I don't mind the graphics as much, but they can at least update the fucking sounds! And I also wish the games would return to having a smaller roster, I liked the "Catch 'Em All" mentality, but that has been completely ruined now, so a return to the 150-200 pokemons would be great to me. Also, not being able to catch all the pokemon because I need more pokemon games to do so, is fucking ridiculuos. I HATE THAT! And I am still crazy for a 3D Pokemon game on the Wii, taking place in the Red/Blue universe (150 pokemon, and be gone with all the shitty stuff). |
Ok I have issues with a lot of things said here, but this keeps getting repeated. You guys do realize that from the very first two games onward you have needed at least two different games to catch them all right? That was one of the points of the series. You had to interact with friends to get everything. Yes this has been expanded to an obscene scale, but they also have made trading way way easier. You can trade via the internet now!
I might come and offer a different opinion on pretty much all of this later. Short version is I completely disagree with most of the proposed changes. Then again I look at it from a competitive play perspective, rathe than the casual JRPG perspective. Most of these proposed changes would alienate the potential market of people like me, for people like yourself. As was stated earlier it is a bad idea to serve one market at the expense of the other.
