Makes no sense huh? Both series have no similarities whatsoever.

What's the number one complain about Call of Duty? "Oh, Activision releases the same game every year and a lot of people buy it! That's outrageous!". The CoD games are not the same, they're actually different, whether you like it or not.

It's been about 17 years since Nintendo has convinced the whole world to buy the same game twice. It's not a case of "those games are pretty similar, they almost look the same!". The paired versions are EXACTLY the same game. Hey, GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL right? And then, people still go and buy that same game a third time. (Yellow, Crystal, Emerald etc.). But ok, we can call those "different games".

I'm not a Call of Duty fan or a Pokemon hater. In fact, I prefer Pokemon over CoD. It's just something that I thought of today. And I'm right. I'm always right. If you knew me, you'd know that.

I like RPGs much better than shooters.

Call of Duty is released every year. Pokémon isn't.

nope

I like both so your argument is invaild lol





on a serious note my number one complaint with call of duty is the community.. its really bad. also pokemon doesnt come out every year though.

Pokemon fan here, but I am indifferent to COD since they dawned the modern day outfit. I did like it, tremendously so, when it was under the WW2 banner.

What if you're a fan of Pokemon and despise Call of Duty because FPS aren't your thing? Are you a hypocrite too?

Aaaah, people are already pretending they didn't understand my point. It's not a matter of "pokemon doesn't release every year" or "Ruby/Sapphire is different from X/Y"

Red and Blue are the same game. Gold and Silver are the same game. Ruby and Sapphire are the same game, and so on. They release on the same game. People buy both of them and are perfectly fine with it. But to buy Modern Warfare today and Black Ops one year later is a terrible, terrible thing, as you're supporting copy-and-paste game development.

But it's Nintendo. They can do it with all of their franchises.. They're innovators after all.

I'd say very few people actually buy both (I certainly never have). Two versions of each game are released to encourage players trading and playing against those with the other game, which is exactly what it did.

Call of Duty is supposed to be a brand new game with each literation, but its additions never merit the £45 entry fee. The two versions of each pokemon game are never marketed as being different games; they just come with slightly different content for you to choose based on preference.]

I really don't get the point in the third game though. I suppose it's for people who don't like playing with others :p

Since Pokémon isn't released every year, Nintendo can easily get away with it. Not exactly the same case with CoD. And Red/Blue, Gold/Silver, etc., aren't exactly the same game. Each game version of one generation has(just a few) different Pokémon to capture. Isn't that exactly what happens with CoD, except that instead of new Pokémon, you have(just a few) new multiplayer maps?
