Yeah I didn't mean full change just maybe bring more action in the combat system. I love turn-based but up to a point.

Look at Paper Mario: Sticker Star. It's not the traditional gameplay of other Paper Mario games. It tried something else and something new and I liked that.

did you try pokemon conquest? maybe that suits you more?

Let's bookmark this thread and come back in a few years!

By the way, where's your prediction thread tbone? I couldn't find it.


surprisingly i predicted in the first week thread and im not even in the top half, anyway i have to make a lifetime thread soon, maybe in a week or two so we can see if x/y declines or notthe franchise. I'll post my answer wen the thread comes but for right now, i see a minumum of 17.5mil and a maximum of 21mil, but to be fair and give 1 answer I'll go with 19.5mil :)... You? 15mil or is it less? just dont be like ********* as he predicted less than 6.5mil, im not even lying. he thinks bw2 is a mainline game.

 

one last thing, your other post said you get back into the game. Wat do you mean? if it changes gameplay it wont be pokemon anymore :0,

I meant the thread you made a while ago will all sorts of predictions. There was one about Pikmin 3 reaching 1 million by year end.


oh those lol, it was predictions for years end, i made alot of those i can send you a link if you want. I made one for xy as well!

You have to understand that your personal take on a game does not dictate how good or bad it is. You can like bad games just like how you can hate good ones.

That's actually exactly what you did when you said "Because they're the far superior games, and as we all know, quality is what sells!".

It's only your personal take that they're far superior games.

We're all just sharing our opinions here.

If X has everything Y does but more and better, then X is overall better than Y. A $10 bill is greater than a $5 bill. Are you denying all this?

I'm not denying that 10$ is more than 5$ lol but I if I have played X before playing Y and Y is only slightly better than X than it most likely won't be enough for me to think Y is better than X.

Just look at Pokémon Yellow, Crystal, Emerald and Platinum. All of those games are everything their sister titles were but with added content and none of them are better than their sister game. Are you denying that?

I just want to recall this post from the other pokemon thread (the lifetime sale prediction).

forethought14 said:
Best in the franchise? It doesn't have the vibe for that. As for selling 20 million....well....how much will 3DS sell?


It doesnt have the vibe, he said.

 

I think the facts speak for themselves. Amusing how the username is foretought though.

 

Excuse me, but perhaps you are misunderstanding my words (probably on purpose). Because the term "vibe" used there was referring to being the "best in the franchise", what do pre-orders have to do with being the "best" in the franchise? Amount of pre-orders =/= vibe for being "best". Don't make claims without fully using your reading comprehension skills.
