Nintendo does not own the Pokemon IP.

Nintendo does hold some copyright materials relating to Pokemon however. Furthermore, the Pokemon Company owns and controls the Pokemon IP and merchandising + marketing relating to the franchise - Nintendo holds 32% of that company.

You sound more and more like hardcore and mature forum posters every day.

Your transition is nearly complete.

Pokemon is pretty much required to be on handhelds to enjoy it to the fullest. The appeal is like Monster Hunter over there in local multiplayer and trading.

The point is that your handheld is your Pokedex so to speak. And you can carry it around, fwip it out for battles/trading.

Anyway, Pokemon will never go "Dark mature". That'll just make it more immature. I doubt we'd get the old man in Anistar City or Emma in the alley if Pokemon went the "mature" route.

And besides, the main characters are getting older. From 10 to what 14 in gen 5. Idk how old the characters are now.

i wan tmuh dark and broown matooore Pekamun FPS.

Why? Tired of them coming out with high-quality on lower-priced hardware with plentiful of entertainment value?

I like that it (modtly) stays the way it is. My only problem with Nintendo owning the IP is that it will always look like trash. They definitely put more effort into the newest version (finally real pokemon and attack animations!), but I get the feeling it will look like how it currently looks for another 5 years.

Game kept you interested enough to play for 10 hours. Some how isn't good enough and needs to be changed.

Yeah makes perfect sense....

Give it to Sony or Microsoft's home console and suddenly multi player is behind a paywall.

Give it to Ubisoft, EA or Activision and enjoy the micro-transactions, earn 48 bp for a life orb or £4.80 for two life orbs.

Interviews suggest Masuda and Sugimori love what they do, I don't think anyone else would do it justice.

As an adult I proudly play the games in public, I don't think a game should influence you to such an extent that you feel less mature or less a man from playing it. Do girl gamers feel more feminine playing pokemon? I highly doubt it.

What a sad OP, I can´t even be a angry at him.

All I can say is that I disagree 100%.

If you don´t like the formula anymore...thats fine then,

and about the growing up stuff: Just play on your PS360 4/Bone whatever, there are a lot of games that pretend to be mature, play them instead and don´t try to homogenise everything.

Fucking Christ !
