I would play this game. Pokemon died to me after Red/Blue so this might be what it takes.

Jirachi5236d ago

to me pokemon is fine as it is gen 5 was pretty lame as far as the the pokemon designs go(the only gen i have problems with the designs of more the 10 pokemon)The turn based battles is what makes pokemon enjoyable and if i want something different the spin offs cover that.

Now if pokemon does change i guess i would mind a strategy game or maybe something like paper mario(turn based but timing improves damage)

You can alway play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon for a new experience . It a dungeon crawler

IAmNotAMonster5235d ago

Oh absolutely. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against the latter generations or spin-offs. They just didn't capture me the way the first game did when I booted it up that first time.

There is a wealth of Pokemon content available in a dozen different genres so if you're looking for something new, you're set. I guess the whole idea of Pokemon just doesn't appeal to me any longer, but a revitalization like the article outlines, would definitely interest me.

Pokemon is ever evolving as a game but the core will remain intact or it's just not Pokemon. Now what they really need to do is create an MMORPG that can be played both through the Wii U and/or the 3DS. That's the type of freshness I want from this series. Classic formula, in global, human interactive, decent graphics, open world style.

Fun article to read though...

@IAmAMonster-
Have you ever tried a Nuzlocke run.It's like turning on hard mode for a Pokemon game.There are 3 rules-
1:You may only catch the first Pokemon on a route.Killed it? Too bad move on.
2:Any Pokemon that faints must be released or boxed.They are seen as dead and can no longer be used.
3:Nickname all Pokemon.Crazy as it sounds this makes it more painful when Bob the Mudkip dies(You can't ever use him again,remember?).
It might seem foolish to put these limits on yourself but it gives the game some new life.Also,enjoyed the opinion piece.Nintendo should let NIS make the next Pokemon game-Level 9999 Bob the Mudkip? Sure, why not?
Edit:In rule 2 I forgot to add-If all your Pokemon have fainted its Game Over.Delete your save data.

D'oh! Your name is IAmNotAMonster.Sorry for getting it wrong.

IAmNotAMonster5235d ago

No worries man. Though I'm not gonna lie, I did have a "Woah Woah Woah. Who you calling a monster?" moment.

And thanks for the recommendation. Sounds like a challenge.

That's some hardcore pokemon right there. Especially the game over part.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

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.

PRIMORDUS49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

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.

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.
