It seems like the protagonists and antagonists became more and more uninteresting as the games went on. I stopped playing at Fire Red, though.

I miss when pokemon actually resembled animals.
[QUOTE=dass;34870663]Remove Japan and pokemon and you can apply the same formula to anything else with success. But I guess liking things you don't like makes one an idiot right?[/QUOTE] Finally someone gets it.
Pokemon: The CoD of Japanese games. Milking out the same dead horse for years to come. Only the Pokemon are progressively uglier and look allot more like Digimon. I never finished Diamond, last good one was Chrystal imo.
Pokemon Black and Pokemon White Just make Pokemon Grey. It's not fucking hard.

You guys honestly WANT another mix of the last two games? There's no new story or anything...new at all.
[QUOTE=fishyfish777;34871343]No, that'd be megaman At least Pokemon brings something new to the table every generation or so[/QUOTE] Seriously? The only new things that were brought to the table (at least up until the DS era) were so worthless it's not even funny. Berry mixing? Versus seeker? The endless stream of far too many pokemon? At least with Megaman you have a good variety of games like RPG with Battle Network/Shooting Star, Platformers for the classics, and Third-Person Adventure with Legends, although that's fallen by the wayside recently.

[QUOTE=Sanius;34871424]pokemon is a one-trick pony. there's no reason or demand for radical innovation[/QUOTE] Well of course not, that's my point. It's essentially the same thing in every iteration.

[QUOTE=elfbarf;34870583]YEAH GENERATION 1 IS THE BEST WE HAD QUALITY POKEMON LIKE EKANS (IT'S SNAKE BACKWARDS LOL) AND MUK (A LIVING PILE OF SHIT)![/QUOTE] I was a bit worried then that you were going to do Muk backwards.
Jesus christ cry some more people
Actually, Pokemon has had different "genres" in its series. Pokemon Colosseum, Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, all those Pokemon Ranger games, the Pokemon ranch game for the Wii, that one Pokemon game where you're all toys or whatever on the Wii, etc.

Except that Pokemon didn't have a faction system, it didn't have a better storyline, and you couldn't capture or summon religious deities from your computer.

GenII to GenIII was a huge leap. And while I agree that GenIV didn't really change anything (I haven't played it), Generation V (BW) effectively modernized GenIII by introducing Pokemon to very impressive 3D, giving it a decent plot, furthering online multiplayer development, streamlining language controls, and just generally giving it an [I]epic[/I] theme in comparison to GenII/III. In contrast, there might be numerous Megaman spinoffs but the sequels within each spinoff rarely change anything compared to the previous games. There's also, as stated above, a shitton of Pokemon spinoffs as well, which often happen to be decent games.
I thought all Pokemon games were sequels... So it's a sequel to a sequel?
[QUOTE=Sanius;34870818]every iteration of the pokemon series has new mechanics, areas, and monsters. they're definitely not the same thing every time.[/QUOTE] Yes but I didn't feel that many of the third games offered enough to warrant another $40.

No I'm not saying it's kiddie (I love how defensive morons always think people are implying this) it's just I have played enough of them for one life time, and unless one is so radically different that it practically redefines the genre, I'm never playing one again. And there is simply to many Pokemon now. Sometimes less is more.
I wonder if these'll just be the Yellow/Crystal/Emerald/whatevertheotheronewas equivalents for this generation, to avoid the terrible title of "Pokemon Grey"
[QUOTE=ewitwins;34871565]I thought all Pokemon games were sequels... So it's a sequel to a sequel?[/QUOTE] When you actually look at the storyline carefully, the Gen I games take place at the same time as the Gen III main games, and then Gens II and IV at the same time as sequels to their previous iterations, but that was different because they took place in different regions with entirely different stories. Gen V is making it worse by not following the formula of "Two games that are similar and opposites simultaneously, then a third game that combines elements of the stories of the first two games and improves on it a lot more, while not being an actual sequel". You can think of individual Pokemon games in the same generation as different parallel universes where different things and similar things happen all at the same time.
The games themselves keeps getting better while the pokemon designs keep getting worse
I am pleased with this news, nostalgia fags ahoy [editline]25th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Venezuelan;34871677]The games themselves keeps getting better while the pokemon designs keep getting worse[/QUOTE] Reshiram and Zekrom came from one ancient dragon pokemon, and Kyurem is rumored to be what was left the speculation is that this is an attempt to fuse them back together
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;34871677]The games themselves keeps getting better while the pokemon designs keep getting worse[/QUOTE] And the designs for the people. Good lord how awful Team Galaxyspaceshipbuttsextuna or whatever look. And remember how badass or cool the gym leaders? Now they look like mutated fruit loops from my nightmares. Oh and the heroes always look like something even the deviant art dwellers would deny. I miss Team Rocket :pwn:
Is GameFreak afraid of 3DS technology? The 3DS has 3D models of every pokemon from Black and White at their disposal, and all future 3DS games will use Nintendo Network, so thus possiblity of updates and DLC for Pokemon. But no, they'd rather stay on DS, have multiple friend codes, be stuck with boring old Wifi, and rehash instead of actually moving forward. You wanna know where it stopped for me? Heartgold and Soulsilver, now those are fucking Pokemon games.

[QUOTE=The Baconator;34871764]Maybe if there was more than four people owning a 3DS they'd do it.[/QUOTE] Are you joking? The 3DS has its library of games sustained by now and a single mario game alone has made 5 million sales worldwide, theres no reason for this fucking company to be stuck in the past. They talk so much smack about a whole new pokemon for the new generation yet dont move forward.
