Pokemon Company: 3DS is difficult to develop for

ButtonCombo writes: It’s been a hectic few months for the Pokémon Company. English versions of Pokemon Black and White were released earlier this year, and just last month Pokédex 3D was released for download on the 3DS. In a recent interview with Famitsu, Pokemon Company-head Tsunekazu Ishihara had a few things to say about Pokemon and the 3DS.

It's a shame.. It would've been nice to see a pokemon title like the originals make it's way to 3D

thats not gonna stop them from doing another pokemon in 3d

The 3D3's dev kit is more than twice that of the PS Vita.

Vita: $3000
3DS: $7000+

Plus, the Vita can port assets from the consoles. 3DS games have to be completely built from the ground up. Countless developers have remarked how the Vita presents a "unique situation" because of how close it is in power to the consoles.

The article is about the 3DS not the PSV no need to compare the two.

Says the company that gets away with making 8 but gameboy games for 20 years. A little effort will do them some good.

A main-entry Pokemon game on the 3DS would be amazing. It's about time we left those 2D sprites behind...

Stealth2k5410d ago (Edited 5410d ago )

those 2d sprites are incredible and a really unique and great style.

What your asking for is something generic.

Theres not really 1 pro for getting rid of sprites but theres about 10 cons

If anything they should make them similar to the ff remake cleaned up sprite look

billyboi1225410d ago

I'm not saying it has to be generic because GameFreak are very capable. I'm sure they'll come up with some beautiful 3D models

TheEatingVodka5410d ago

It will happen.. I don't think they can pull out this 3D effect with 2D sprites

Stealth2k5410d ago (Edited 5410d ago )

disgaea? blaz blue? devil survivor overclocked?

Yeah you can do anything with 2d sprites that you can do with 3d models.

My motto is dont fix what isnt broken. And the art style of pokemon is the least of things that could be fixed,.

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.
