?? Whats the site about? anyway, I read some of the things in the first page and they look interesting, but I think its nothing that couldnt be done in a patch, the core gameplay on the games hasnt changed a bit in all these years, and it should considering, like I said before, the differences in the hardware that couldve been used to make a much better game.
|
The gameplay has changed quite a bit. Natures, Abilities, IV values, EV values, new and more competitive moves, held items, and the separation of special and physical attack among types.. Blue and Red could be summed up an exchange of powerful moves til all of the Pokemon on one team is knocked out. Diamond and Pearl has achieved great balance in the game and a much deeper competitive mechanic that probably can't be realized by a child playing the game. Smogon.com has pretty much turned the battling of Pokemon into a science and I doubt a mediorce game is worth doing so.

Anything can be turned into a science, especially a game which has so many fans as pokemon, that doesnt change the fact that you can beat the game without thinking too much or even paying attention to those battle mechanics.
Anyway, it doesnt seem that ill make you change your mind, and you wont change mine.
I still dont think the pokemon games should be in the best RPG everI think any final fantasy is better, and there are better RPG than many FF.

The great thing about Pokemon is that you don't have stop playing once you finish it. There's a little something called Player vs. Player battles. Name a Final Fantasy that has great multiplayer possibility and isn't a minigame.
|
FF 11, and RPG are not about the multiplayer, they are about story and gameplay mechanics, and if these are both great, you dont need multiplayer. Besides, its not like all RPG are linear, you can still play and roam the world in FF.
|
Multiplayer is where PKMN really shines, much like Storytelling is where FF shines. To say that an RPG can't be about multiplayer is just narrow minded thinking, imo.
|
I didnt say it cant be about multiplayer, but for many RPG lover the best thing in these is the story. And the multiplayer in pokemon, from the ones I played, is something newer in the series, if u dont include the link cable battles in the old ones.
|
What?
|
I didnt mean that and its pretty clear, to say RPG are about story and gameplay is not to negate multiplayer. And even MMORPG have a story behind them, the multiplayer aspect is more of a part of the gameplay.
So basically what I meant is RPG are based on their story, and the other things as multiplayer are secondary things. Besides, pokemon is not based in its multiplayer but more on the single player.

If you were an old fan, you should know that the series is more of a social experience than anything else. Any people thought about Pokemon when you were younger? For me, a good chunk of my best friends and I met while playing against each other.
|
I loved pokemon when I was 9, I watched the series and had the first games, Red, yellow and silver later, and I tell u the times I played multiplayer in pokemon where no more than 4. You had to get a guy with another version of the game which is just a way nintendo used to get more sales, the stupid link cable, and the battles where boring since you knew that if a guy had just one character stronger than yours you would loose almost for sure.
I think the reason you met ypur friends was because in that time everyone liked pokemon and played it, but to have everyone playing it and sharing their gaming experiences with you doesnt mean the game is centered in multiplayer
Pixel Art can be fun.
