| the_dengle said: The core gameplay doesn't need to change. There isn't a single thing wrong with turn-based battles. You're approaching this from entirely the wrong angle. The game you want is not in any way shape or form a Pokemon game. You don't want to play Pokemon. Fine, don't play Pokemon. But don't pretend you want a Pokemon game while describing something that is not a Pokemon game, and still worse, don't pretend Game Freak is lazy or incompetent for not making Pokemon into something it's not. Your train of thought is horrendous. "Pokemon should be on home consoles" > "Skyrim is a home console RPG" > "Pokemon should play like Skyrim" Could you imagine if I said Mario should have online multiplayer, therefore it should play like Call of Duty? That's the sort of logic I read in this thread. |
You don't seem to get it.
I don't care about the mainline games. I'm talking about the spin off games. If you weren't already aware they already have deviated from the formula. Pokemon Ranger, Poke Park, Pokemon Rumble, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, those are all official franchise that have deviated hugely from the formula. Compared to those an ABS with the 4 moves mapped to 4 buttons is basically nothing.
The pokemon games are clearly not defined by their battle system, to say Pokemon without turnbased battle system is the same as saying that Super Mario 64 isn't a mario game because the mario games precceding it were 2D platformers.
I never said GameFreak was Lazy or incompetent, I said they are greedy and afraid of change, they consistently make as little change as possible and then remake their old games in the new engines. The Different versions of Pokemon used to actually mean something, now its just a new legendary with a different colored box.
I never mentioned Skyrim at all and if you actually played Skyrim, you would know that the battle system in Skyrim is completely different than what I described.
Its hilarious that you mention COD when this series is basically the COD of handhelds basically unchanged for 17 years.
Why is Pokemon with ABS now Skyrim? is Mario with Cars now Gran Turismo? Is Metroid in 3D now Halo?
Your whole post is filled with worthless assumptions about what I want and what I'm describing:
I never said I didn't like Turn Based Battle systems, my favorite Mario Series is Paper Mario and I literally made a thread about how Child of Light was a great game barely 3 days ago.
I never said I don't play Pokemon, the only one I bought was Ruby, not because I didn't like pokemon, my issue with the series started way before that, but simply because I never got a handheld device after the GBASP.
I never called GameFreak Lazy or Incomptent, I called them greedy, and that is evident in its marketting and how they handle pokemon.
READ THE FUCKING TITLE, there is your answer on the discussion of whether or not I want a homeconsole pokemon
I never mentioned Skyrim, which is completely unlike anything I described.
