Because it should be categorize by genre. How many RPGs does Pokemon has? the 6th mainline ones and don't now how many more. Fighting games? The Pokemon Stadium games and..I don't know. There's Pokemon snap...on rail shooter? I don't know. My point is that, yes, there are A LOT of Pokemon games, but not everyone of them is the same. Same applies to Mario and FF.


Pokemon Stadium isnt a fighting game....its labled as a Strategy game but its more of a RPG than a fighter lol.

Well it's been around 10 years or so since I played Stadium. Wasn't there a fighting section? Honestly the only thing I clearly remember are the minigames haha, those were really good.

Yeah I want Pokemon and several other 3DS games (Fire Emblem, etc), however... I'm only buying a Nintendo console once they fix their damn account system (trophies would be welcome but I know that's asking too much).

Unfortunately at this rate it seems I'll be getting both the PS4 and Xbone before a 3DS or Wii U.

There are a few rumors that nintendo will add an account system to 3DS and WiiU before the end os this year.


Thanks for the info. I hope it's true. If they add trophies/achievements as well I kid you not, I'll get both 3DS and Wii U ASAP.

Main reason why i own a 3DS right now.......... DS BC. (thousands of games at you're disposal)

Main reason to own one in the future.......... there will be thousands of 3DS games on this awesome device before it is no longer on retailer shelves.

Long live Nintendomination in the handheld market..!!!!!

...you mean 6th mainline title, right ?

And lol @ you Final Fantasy XV avatar ! ...the irony

I can't possibly how Nintendo fans would try and defend the Pokemon in that regard.

and I have my 3DS for none of the reasons listed above.

I was moreso speaking from a chance standpoint. Outside of X and Y, you could argue that every Pokemon is much like a roster update.

Depends on who you ask. Hardcore Pokemon players can tell you how much the game and it's mechanics changed when the 3rd gen introduced special attack and special defense. I'm no Pokemon expert but I know that was probably the biggest changed the series had so far. Plus the inclusion of different types of Pokemon (like Magnemite which in gen 1 it was only electric type, but now it's also steel type), those changes may sound small, but for a Pokemon veteran they were huge when it came to strategies and stuff.

And I can tell you the small differences that happen each year to NCAA Football. Doesn't stop people from calling it a roster update.

There's really no guarantee at all for that.  I feel that Nintendo feels there would be no reason to implement something like that.  But who knows, maybe a trophy/achievement system could come, but I wouldn't count on it.  The account system thing, though, is very likely.  I hesitate to say guaranteed because I don't have a source.

the only gen that was more of a gen roster update was from fourth to fifth gen, trust me they all are completely different from each other, especially mechanic wise. Us Competitive players have to learn new strategies/etc in a new gen. Its just similar plots and 8 gyms thats the same. If you dont kno pokemon... You dont kno pokemon :P
