Pokemon Black and White

I mean... if it's not a tactics game or some significant change in gameplay, I'm just not going to care. However, they *are* going back to colors, if we don't count all the remakes. Preliminary information points to the Nintendo DS. Again. So I'm not too hopeful on the "anything new" part. But I do a good job at predicting the exact opposite of what happens, so we'll see. |

They decided to go back to metals for the 3rd game in the 4th gen, now they're going back to colors. Surely this means they're returing the series to it's simple days of glory?! Pfft, doubt it.
Still as always I'll be getting at least one of these versions. Can't say which one yet as we know absolutely nothing about them except 2 new Pokemon and the titles. What really gets me though is the fact that it's for DS. With the new 3DS console right around the corner, why not make us wait an extra year and give us something "new" in the interactivity department? Ah well whatever. I'll just sit back and see how many new legendaries they'll spit out at us in the meantime.

I'm just wondering why they can't experiment on Pokemon itself. The Japanese game industry is too damn conservative. They cherish the child-only image of the Pokemon brand too much. |

The spin-offs and other multimedia like the anime adaptation are all just some money-generating shitstorm though. Pokemon Dash, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and Pokemon Ranger? Good god. x_x

I feel that his team probably has thought of all the ideas that people want already, but internal politics with Nintendo higher-ups and Tajiri himself (who supervises development from start to finish) stopped a lot of them. It's hard to criticize the creator, but I won't be surprised if he is the one locked in the Pokemon vision and is the biggest obstacle against the games evolving into something different. I played a tiny bit of Mystery Dungeon, and I think it's a great step forward. The fact that it and Pokemon Ranger are NOT produced by the flagship Game Freak studio is why I think what I wrote above is true. We simply can't expect different gameplay from the Game Freak studio, it has to come from somewhere else. |

I'd guess Shadow rather than Dark, but yeah that was my thinking too. |

They experiment, people complain. They don't, people complain. Don't fix what isn't broken. Besides, they do try to experiment with stuff like Ranger and PokePark. Also, Nintendo aims at making games suitable for everyone, so... It is pretty important to keep that image. Besides, if you want non-child-aimed images, you have stuff like short skirts and spats and stuff. Quote:
Not that they will win though.

Honestly though I just bought Soul Silver and I just don't feel like investing in the constant stream of Pokemon games being thrown out every year ot two. The main series was good up to the point of Ruby and Sapphire (those were decent), but afterwords it just became too much.
