Wouldn't they normally just buy a company who is working on a Pokemon like a game. Then close them and make them do something else?

UltraNova3450d ago

Yeah..maybe all those Worst Company of the year awards got to them...not really. Maybe they are waiting for the P Go craze to die down and then release their clone?

nX3450d ago

Or maybe they realized that they are lacking the creative talent to come up with this kind of game. Most likely, actually.

OneLove3450d ago

There is no Pokemon competitor. Many have tried already.

NotoriousWhiz3450d ago

I probably played monster rancher more than Pokémon. Particularly the 2nd one. I wish they'd make a new one.

blackblades3450d ago

There was one called collectem that supposedly still in development for sony systems. Thing is its been in development for years and not much on it like they they taking a long break or something

detroitmademe3450d ago

I'd love a good rpg similar to Pokemon. But I'd want it to be for consoles

gamerb63450d ago

If the rumours are true then your in luck, new Pokemon game may be coming to the NX

detroitmademe3450d ago

Is it gonna be a true Pokemon game like the ones for game boy and 3ds or is it gonna be a spin off like go or that Pokemon game where you take pictures all day because the spin offs are ass

gtxgamer23450d ago (Edited 3450d ago )

If it anything like Pokemon xd or Colosseum count me in

terrorofdeath3450d ago

I guess the closest Pokemon competitor would be Ni No Kuni, I guess?

GameBoyColor3450d ago

YoKai Watch maybe? It's big in Japan at least

x_BlackRose3450d ago

Pokemon Battle Revolution was pretty awesome, but we need another game like Pokemon Colosseum, with multiple regions to explore. Hoenn, Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh. Where we can traverse all those regions defeating their respective gym leaders and Elite Fours. With all pokemon available, all wrapped up with a pretty good story. Why has Nintendo not done this yet? That has triple A all over it. Could be a potential GOTY.

TheUndertaker853450d ago

Because why do that when they can split them all like they do?

Your way: $40 game
Nintendo's way: $80 for each region then $120 for the original Blue, Red, and Yellow

I mean, you just gotta catch them all, right? Plus now they've found a way to add in meaningless accessories with the Z-Ring. $30 for the ring then $7 for a three pack of crystals to use with the ring.

PN2 Review | Going Old School With Blast 'em Bunnies

Mark from PN2 reviews Blast 'em Bunnies by Aussie studio, Nnooo.

"Blast ’em Bunnies isn’t your typical console experience. It feels more like the best kind of mobile game combined with a classic arcade shooter, brought over to the big boys leagues with extra content. It’s the perfect antidote between bouts of The Division or Halo."

Why devs still think that bring mobile games to consoles is a great ideia?
