Post by: EmCeeGrammar on April 09, 2010, 01:27:06 AM: If this is the series reboot as I've heard rumored, I'll be all over this shit. I love the base mechanics, but the series has gotten way too bloated. Would love just a fresh set of 200 pokemons segregated from the previous generations.

Ha, segregation.

edit:
Oh just the other day I was thinking they were going to go with ebony and ivory.

Title: Re: Pokemon Black and White
Post by: Ichirou on April 09, 2010, 10:23:04 AM: Each version has different exclusive pokemon, so to catch 'em all you have to trade with someone who owns the other version.

it's kinda pointless now that they have wi-fi and the global trading system, which means you can just find hackers or dupers that will trade you a lvl 100 legendary for your ratatta
Title: Re: Pokemon Black and White
Post by: cool breeze on April 09, 2010, 01:04:54 PM: I think a big audience for this game is still people who can play locally like the Japanese or children. It's like why Monster Hunter is so popular in Japan and not in America, or why those games seem so much more popular on the PSP than a home consoles like the Wii, at least in Japan.

As an older western group of players, a group of nerds getting together to trade virtual animals for ocd reasons sounds a bit odd.

Post by: Crushed on April 09, 2010, 04:04:00 PM: (http://i40.tinypic.com/opz0ah.gif) I hope they don't change nothin'!

(http://i40.tinypic.com/opz0ah.gif) Complainin' about Zubats? Boy, in my day we didn't have Zubats. We had Yubats! ("Z" hadn't been invented yet, ya see). And we walked to school across Mt. Moon, uphill both ways, in the snow! Anybody who didn't have a bunch of Yubat bites was called a distinguished effete fellow and beaten to death.

(http://i40.tinypic.com/opz0ah.gif) Like the time I caught the ferry to Vermillion City. I needed a new heel for m' Running Shoe. So I decided to go to Orange City, which is what they called Vermillion City in those days. So I tied an Apricorn to my belt. Which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost five Pokedollars, and in those days, pokedollars had pictures of Beedrills on 'em. Gimme five Beedrills for a quarter, you'd say. Now where was I... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an Apricorn tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn't get white Apricorns, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

Title: Re: Pokemon Black and White
Post by: Crushed on April 10, 2010, 12:12:39 PM: There's a bit more 3D stuff, and the battle backgrounds actually have a little more stuff than a "blurry speed lines," but yeah.
Title: Re: Pokemon Black and White
Post by: treythemovie on April 10, 2010, 12:46:55 PM: The new perspective angle reeks of '3D' possibilities. The inevitable 3rd version of this game will likely be 3DS exclusive so Nintendo can go "LOOK AT THE NEW 3D, BUY THE SAME GAME AGAIN PLEASE".
Title: Re: Pokemon Black and White
Post by: cool breeze on April 10, 2010, 12:52:33 PM: I'd say it is a big improvement. Looks somewhere between the last DS game and Spirit Tracks/Phantom Hourglass

Post by: EmCeeGrammar on April 10, 2010, 01:07:58 PM: The advent of a new pokemon generation is making my nerd synapses go into overdrive. I'm pretty sure the games will still stuck but I can dream it will be good again one day. :(

No really, I couldnt sleep last night cus I was thinking about pogemans.
Title: Re: Pokemon Black and White
Post by: cool breeze on April 10, 2010, 01:08:28 PM: that's why they should just do a spin-off or something that changes things up without the consequence of mass suicides from confusing things like 360 degree movement. Grandia style battles in pokemon would kick ass.
Title: Re: Pokemon Black and White
Post by: EmCeeGrammar on April 10, 2010, 01:11:41 PM: Yeah, I don't understand why everyone is clamoring for a major revision of the formula. What they have now is accessible, low impact, and addictive as fuck. They just need to rebalance the type charts, reduce the pokedex down to less gimmick pokemon (more full evolution lines), and prune the movepool. It be nice if they could remove some of the obligatory trading aspects of the games for a lonely fuck like me but I understand why its there.
Title: Re: Pokemon Black and White
Post by: magus on April 10, 2010, 01:37:58 PM: shin megami tensei did it right,there is no need for a revision of the formula because pokemon it's a useless game,i'm just pissed that nintendo can employ ultra low tech,draw a bunch of animal/plants and PRESTO! another 4 million seller is done

Post by: Diunx on April 10, 2010, 03:12:48 PM: Looks the same as the other ones, I really, really hope that they speed up the damn battles, I can't even play these games anymore without some nice emu acceleration.
