| ckmlb said: The worse part of your argument is that these minor changes occured over for generations of Pokemon games (7 of them) over 9 years, across 4 platforms. If you actually take differences from one game to the next, they are even more microscopic. But in your hurry to make a big list of (minor) differences you gathered changes across all Pokemon games into one list even though I asked specifically for new things in the new Pokemon game. Comparing all those games to 2 GTA games that came out in a matter of a couple of years is unfair, if you want compare all Pokemon games, across many platforms then you have to include GTA 1 and 2 in the comparison and I think we all know which series has changed more when you do that. Even so, many of the changes you mentioned are actually returning features from older games and not even new in D&P. Pokemon Contests (from R&S), Time of day and day of week (from G&S), the Poffins that you bake (merely replacements for Pokeblocks from R&S) are all not new features but returning |
There have only been 3 generations of Pokemon changes ckmlb. So 3 games worth of changes versus 2. There is no major difference here. I only counted cooking once, and the list was all changes. You said the series rarely changed, and I showed you that it's changed over its life. Whether you consider those changes small or not really doesn't matter to me, because everything in Pokemon except turn based gameplay, team size, and the basic plot has changed. Those few things are what define Pokemon as a series anyway, but everything else has. Now, DP was not the majority of those changes. Most of them were RSE. That doesn't meant the series hasn't evolved since the beginning. Also, sorry Twesterm, but if you really think it's as simple as a rock paper scizors system then you really don't understand any of the depth of the combat system, and I recommend you trying playing online. Konnichiwa, first, that's not what I said. Don't change the message if you are going to try and quote it. I said go back to the topic, read, and then cry (meaning complain). Though I could have used better phrasing, my point was if you are going to complain about me defending pokemon (in reference to your first message) then at least see the evidence first. So, ckmlb, in summary: The Pokemon series has changed quite a bit outside of turn based combat, team size and plot. I have shown you all the things that have changed over the course of 3 major generations of Pokemon, and you still deny anything has changed.
