Gamefreaks is Nintendo-owned, they themselves wanted the multi-systems thing.
I can understand their reasons for it, but I had hoped ever so slighty they might've taken the riskier route of making it an exclusive so as to reposition the brand to the new console and marketing it as a system seller. Especially after the price drop last year, I think more people would've be receptive to the idea of picking up a 3DS. |

Well if you think about it, they might want to save the first 3DS exclusive pokemon game to launch the next generation.
This is just buying time, because it's certainly not time yet for the next generation. I mean think about it, if they had this game on the 3DS, then it would certainly undercut the next generation in terms of how much they can claim has improved. |

If this is *not* just a glorified Gray split into two games, this could be one of the greatest things ever.
And as dated as the DS is in this day and age, I'm still sore at Nintendo for region locking the 3DS, so I'm glad that this apparent sequel is coming out on the DS. |

Doubt it. If that were the case, how could putting a Pokemon game on it be bad due to it "going out of style" or be "outdated"? That context implies that it would no longer be supported. A new version (3DS XL, for example) wouldn't outdate the 3DS at all, or make it any worse for someone who purchased it.

Imagine buying a 3DS now because it had Pokémon. Then a couple months later Nintendo announces a new model. Wouldn't you be disappointed that you didn't wait for the (inevitable) revision that most likely has better screens and better battery life?
I know I would.

No, I wouldn't be. I wanted to play X, so I bought it when it came out, not caring about the inevitable updated system that Nintendo always puts out. It's not as if a new version would be a surprise. If you wanted it that badly, then you can trade in your current 3DS. Your disappointment at your own inability to be patient or plan ahead does not mean the original model 3DS is no longer supported, it merely means that you were an early adopter.
Besides, if they didn't even announce the new model until a few months after Pokemon came out, then it likely wouldn't come out for another few months. That's at least 6 months of difference. You can't be disappointed that new tech comes out 6 months or more after you buy something when you already waited over a year to get the tech in the first place. |

I always enjoyed the third versions. I liked Platinum much better than Diamond and Pearl and they are more convenient for people like me who have no trade opportunity (ignoring trade-only evolutions ) by giving a better selection *coughonlyoneadditionalfiretypeindiamondandpearlco ugh*
But, I won't bash the idea of a direct sequel and will wait until more information are given in the future. Additionally, this would be the second game I'd be interested in for the 3DS. |

Well I don't have any real expectation to pick it up. But will depend on whether they are making a new story here or if it's just a revised version.
Not surprised it's not on the 3DS. Figure they'd wait for the next generation of pokemon games and put that on the 3DS. Though not like it really matters since visually unless they really want to take a large step I wouldn't expect too much change.

By the way, I'd appreciate it if you adjusted your tone to be less judgmental.

So, why release pokemon on a system that many may not have bought because of certain well known complaints/issues and possible, looming changes on the horizon, when you can release it on a stable, well known and loved, system which does not preclude the ability for the game to be run on higher end systems? I would imagine that more people will be happy in this way, given what I said above, than they would be if the system were 3DS exclusive. ^Not to mention that the game won't be coming out for another four or so months in Japan, six or so in America, and by them Nintendo could have already started rolling out the changes to the 3DS and news of the revamped model (if it pans out). So the game could end up coming out close to the date that the newer stuff is about to come out or is fresh in the back of everyone's head... so why buy a 3DS at that point when you know that, just around the block, is something better and less 3D?

Definitely not surprised that it wasn't on the 3DS. But surprised it wasn't a single version change but two sequels...? Not really sure what will make this game "2" though... Will need to wait for more info to judge on what Gamefreaks is planning.
Still, dang, Kyurem + Zekrom looks ugly. Those arms...

The DSi has one more powerful ARM CPU instead of the two that the DS and DS Lite has. Not only did this mean dropping backwards compatibility with GBA games, but it opened the door for "DSi-enhanced" games. Thankfully there are few of them.

I've learned to expect Game Freak to *not* do that with every new batch of Pokemon games. Sure, it would be nice to be surprised, and I wouldn't eliminate the possibility, but it's best not to count on it.
