| spemanig said: There's nothing wrong with handhelds. I never hinted at having an "angst" for handhelds. I own more handhelds than consoles. Handhelds are NOT equal to consoles. They are lesser, complimentary devices. Handhelds are holding the series back. Pokemon can't be all it can be on a handheld. Again, you'll never get a Pokemon game with the scale of Xenoblade, and almost every single hand held game ever made would be exponencially better if they were made on a home console instead, with the exeption of games with handheld exclusive gimmicks like with Tearaway. Pokemon would lose portability and gain literally everything else. |
That is not as good as you make it sound. The aspect of portability is the reason the game became so much popular, the ability to interact with other people without the limitations of the home console. Even the upgrade of internet conectivity didn't deminish the importance of human interaction. How many people go to conventions and other events with their handhelds, just to play games in company? Would it be the same if you restrict the games to a living-room? It's the human factor the element that makes the game so appealing.
