Muaz from Twinfinite writes: "The Pokemon franchise has been going strong for almost 20 years. Throughout that entire time, the core gameplay and story has remained pretty consistent. You travel around the region battling other trainers, catching (increasingly weird and disturbing) Pokemon, earning badges, and eventually working your way through the Elite Four to become Pokemon champ. While I can see how Nintendo has stuck to the mantra “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” it may be time to think about switching it up a bit and adjusting the gameplay."
The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).
Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.
Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.
The Nintendo DS has some amazing titles available. Here are some of the best nostalgic games that every child of the DS era grew up playing.
I enjoyed both Rush games, I did think the action was sometimes too fast to see what was coming up in terms of hazards though, which meant replaying the same stage a bunch of times, other than that they were enjoyable, good special stages, 3D sections and bosses for the most part.
DS is one of the best consoles of all time. Such a rich library of software
Zelda were all glorious on it.
Nintendo completed its share repurchase and set its secondary offering price at 8,347 yen ahead of March 16 delivery.
The caption on the picture of all the starters is so wrong.
HM's need to be removed in my opinion. It's better to let the player acquire tools that house the same effect. This is Pokemon where their tec is very different to ours.
Flash - A Flash light
Cut - A portable small axe
Rocksmash - A hammer/drill
Surf - A small unfolding raft, they have unfolding bikes
Waterfall - Come on, a water Pokemon who can surf can't go up a waterfall
I think Surf and Fly need to be retooled aswell. I think it's silly that a Pidgy can use fly to move you around despite being a tiny bird or a Azurill can get you across the water.
I know it would restrict you but at least then it would make a little more sense. If they added the Surf idea for the raft for example then it's only Fly where you would need to get a large flying Pokemon to carry you around.
I hope we see a region in the next game based on the UK. I think that would be pretty awesome.
The only thing I really want to change gameplay wise when travelling is maybe zoom out a little bit. The new look to X and Y zooms in way too much to your surroundings, I kind of miss the looking down view in the older games where you could see a lot of the map at once, it made it seem..."spacey"
They can't because nintendo doesn't make pokemon games game freak does
More than one save file?
Make a new story with side quest , thats the only thing I always wanted since sapphire LOL
