$th gen wont be the last. Just like brawls nintendo gets a lot of money of it. They wont end it as long as there getting paid.
Heh, sorry about that. A strange error in quoting I presume.
Well this whole "mutation" thing would not be in the least bit common. It would be really rare to find a Pokemon that was a "mutant" of its own species. Not as rare as a shiny, but still, very rare.
I posted the answer to the Pokedex question in my last post. Again though, these "mutants" would not tack on numbers to the Pokedex, because they are still the same species as their normal counterpart. Charizard, and its two alternates that I created: the Fire/Water and the Dragon/Ice "mutants" are all Charizards (don't mind the extra names I gave them - that was merely for differentiation besides the obvious looks). IF you came across those other Charizards at some point during the game, they would be added as a Charizard subspecies to the Pokedex, so to view them, you would open your Pokedex, go to Charizard, and there would then be an option to 'flip' through the different types of Charizards that you've seen, but they would all take up #006. This way, we could still retain the 493 Pokemon that we have, but expand it so much with these rare mutants.
Thats genius! It also brings a greater sense of realism, not everyone in the game is a pokemon trainer. So how do the ones that aren't make there money? By a job. Which you would be aloud to play like a mini game in a way . Like pickachu surfing in yellow.
I don't think that's stretching anything, but the imagination. That could be implemented very well. I really tire of fighting trainers for money. I mean come on, most of them don't want to give you their money, and I've never seen it established as a rule that when you lose a match, you have to fork up some cash to the victor. I love the idea.
Stole the words right out of my mouth.
That's an amazing idea!
Why is that far-fetched? I think it's very reasonable, and I like it. This would add a huge incentive to buying the second game, rather than just the 10 Pokemon only obtainable in that version as opposed to the other. Not only would two regions be great, but the idea of only being able to obtain certain mutations in one version would add an incentive as well. It makes you spend more money, but I usually buy them both anyways, so it wouldn't really affect me.
I think that's just a way to give Nintendo extra money. I think that while certain mutations (by that I mean like... 5 or 6) should be available in one version, there should only be one region.
Ya but you don't need to buy both games. If you remember zelda time and seasons, it never asked you to buy both games. Plus they were both exciting on there own. Like in the days before D/P if you had no one living near you you would have to buy both games to get all the pokemon. Now you wouldn't have that problem as both games are different, its like a whole new feeling. It wouldn't be giving nintendo extra money as there different, its like saying buying ruby then diamond is a waste even though there both different. Now the only bad problem could be that they both have the same pokemon but the idea of mutations would lower that. I didn't mean that there was a certain batch that was avalible in one and anther in the other game. I meant like 15-20 (more then the version exclusive because there not as big) different in each version that would be different because the environment.
You do have a point. But I still don't like the idea.
I see where you're coming from...actually, I may have to agree. I just realized that if there's two new regions per generation, Nintendo's going to run out of ideas for them just as quickly as they did for Pokemon. So maybe that wouldn't be a good idea to have implemented...but it was a good concept.
I second this.
It was a good concept. I just don't want to see the same thing happen with the regions that happened for Pokemon.
I sort of touched on that here and there, but have not devised a large section to it. Perhaps I should, because that's a very important aspect of the games. I'll tell you what. Each of you post some really important points and I'll see what I can do to wrap them up and incorporate them into the OP. This is not just my project, it's ours. One person cannot make a game like Pokemon, but a community can.
Now you're just making another Pokemon Mystery Dungeon...
That's why I leave that, and other personal business to Link after I turn the game off. He can do that on his own time. My time is sword time.
I concur. You add too many of these ideas and you'll end up with a game too much like the Sims. The Sims does a good job with that sort of simulation of real life, let's not do that with real games. This type of thinking could do Pokemon in. (If anyone gets that reference, they get a pie.)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what it is. It sounds cool now, but it'll probably be a function that'll just get annoying or pointless when it's actually put into play. You bring up a good concept, though.
See that's the thing - they can keep making new Pokemon and new moves and new Pokeballs, etc, etc, but it's already too excessive. I find that they need to take what they have and exemplify it, rather than just adding more stuffing. Eventually, the pillow will pop, and we'll have no where to lay our heads; we'll have no foundation for a good Pokemon game. I vote for embroidery.
Yeah, the key is expansion, not piling on more of the same. That's why your temperature system is such a great idea; it expands, adding more potential to Pokemon and how their moves affect others.
Firstly: yes, moves would be regulated by temperature and would each have even more of range of effects on different Pokemon. I think I need to expand further on the system regarding moves and what not in the OP, now that you've brought it up.
Again, I feel that that would subtract a bit from the game rather than add from it. It's an interesting concept, but it just wouldn't work with Pokemon.
Agreed.FirustheHedgehog said:
I care about the overall balance and innovation of the games rather than the competitive play (which is what most of you guys love - and that's not to say that you don't care about what I do). There's no way I could ever post in these competitive Pokemon threads. I wouldn't know jacksquat.
I agree; I couldn't post in the competitive-type threads without sounding like an idiot. I know general concepts, but I'm not great at actually choosing which EVs to put where, which abilities/natures to get...I couldn't discuss or give advice on those fronts.
so now they are naming them after radioactive manmade elements such as
It's fake. Really, Pokemon Cadmium/Ununbium? Yeah. Nintendo likes going with colors/gems that people actually KNOW ABOUT.
At least he brought that information to our attention. I doubt many of us would have found that otherwise, even though it's obviously false. Info is info, and the more we get, the more we have to analyze and break down.
