Actually the Pokemon thing was unrelated. A guy in a Wario costume is firing off rockets in the Sony Japan HQ lobby. Tragic stuff really.


Seriously though, I'm not a huge fan of Pokemon but I don't see any way that an online Pokemon game can't be at least pretty awesome. Pokemon and MegaMan Battle Network just scream MMO.

While I am looking forward to Super Smash Bros. Brawl and maybe even playing online, I do not look forward to Pokemon Battle Revolution.

The fact is, all Pokemon Battle Revolution is, is the Pokemon Battle system, with some souped up graphics. And that is it. Forget the story, forget getting badges and stuff.

The other battle games were bad enough, letting players choose from ANY Pokemon right form the beginning of the game.

It is like taking a Final Fantasy Game, pulling everything out except battles and charging you $50.00 for it. It is sick.

I wish they would just get over it and release like a FULL Pokemon game, like the hand held ones, but with awesome to the max graphics. That is all I'd like to see, Pokemon, but pimped out in the Wii.

They made way too many of those, don't give them any ideas.

I'd like that idea, even though I stopped after the first MMBN. It'd be pretty cool to have your own "Navi" that you can customize looks, color, etc etc

I've always dreamed about the ultimate pokemon online game. I hope they make it good because the pokemon games deserve it (of course I'm referring only to the original Red and Blue on the gameboy colour... anyone who prefers the newer stuff doesn't have a clue about anything, man.).

I didn't really play much after the first. Once I got over the fact that it wasn't actually MegaMan (just a game/show that used those characters as a base) I was alright with it.
The whole Navi thing combined with the two dimensions of the real world and the network world really makes for some cool stuff.

I can't say I'd pay $10 a month for it, but I still think it's a really sweet idea to toss around in my head.

Pokemon Online can't wait. I don't care if it is childish, it is an awesome game.

What about Green?

I'm sold already. Now lets hope they do that in the DS games.

From what I know all it is, is a souped up Pokemon Coliseum, but this time with limited Pokemon. I guess in order to unlock more you'll need Pokemon Diamond or Pearl.

You can connect to the Nintendo WiFi connection and battle people online and I know there is something you can do with your DS with your Wii, but it might be something as simple as just uploading your save file.

As for the Pokemon games for DS, I thought all you could do is dress your Pokemon up. Yeah thats right, you can put like top hats and stuff on them. I thought that was it.

None of the screen shots I saw showed any customized player sprites.

I was really upset when I saw they didn't make the new DS games 3D. I mean, I think it is about time they do it, especially considering the DS CAN do it.
