Did you fail the linking process? You linked to an irrelevant page.

Oh, ratings. Yeah, I should totally believe what teenage fanboys say about a game.
Anyway, a tad off-topic now, dontcha think? :P | |

Releasing something after Christmas isn't smart. Gotcha. So I shouldn't get new years gifts for ANYONE, right? Because no company will release anything after Christmas if it's before Spring, because it's obviously a bad business choice. I kind of agree with that. I've worked in retail for close to a year now, I started in October of last year and worked through the holiday seasons. People spend a lot of money on crap during the holidays. We couldn't stock Wii Fitness or the Wii fast enough for people, we had people coming in every midnight just to see if we had some in, but by the time Christmas was over and New Years Eve rolled around, stuff was getting back to normal. The game cases were full again, people weren't buying enough. You have to admit that there is a certain tacit to releaseing during the holiday seasons. Major ones. Not crap like New Years or St. Patties day. Also the only thing they could do to make Pokemon better at this point.... 3D. DragonQuest Monsters did it, they can do. | |

If you watch the pokemon show battles are much more dynamic than 'you has 4 skillz, and it is turn based.' Granted this would be infinitely difficult to make balanced, but it would be absolutely amazing. | |

Pokemon isn't balanced as is, so that's not an issue. Well fine then. It may not be perfectly 'balanced' but it is far from 'imbalanced'. Anyway~ I dunno. Making the battle system more 'realistic', for lack of a better word, would be a huge chore, which is why it is likely to never happen. | |
People play games to escape realism, remember? Fighting with monsters, how can THAT get realistic?
Competitively, Pokemon has been imbalanced badly since D/P and Pt broke it further. | |

A more appropriate way to describe what I was referring to would be 'more true to the show in combat style'. Competitively, Pokemon has been imbalanced badly since D/P and Pt broke it further. | |
There has been games true to the show in battle style, unless I'm mistaken Pokemon Stadium and the sequels happened.

Vic Rattlehead wrote: LoL. Take it easy. Not that I disagree with you, but lets keep it civil. ;) Anyway~ To Vic: No... :) Pokemon Stadium, and the like, have the exact same combat systems. They are in no way different from pokemon, except they look purtier, I suppose. The same goes for those new ones (unless I'm mistaken. I'm pretty positive they haven't changed anything in a long long time) | |
Ooooooh. Attack animations involving the pokemon actually moving and something happening, nothing like the show...
And nice trolling, by the way. | |

The point being made (a bit more aggressively than necessary) was that pokemon stadium's combat system does not vary at all from any other pokemon game. That completely ignores the point of what just happened. Quick summarized and paraphrased transcripts: AJ: It would be awesomezorz if they made a new combat system, that was just like the shows (pokemans run around, can attack multiple times before the other does once, etc etc) Vic: Pokemon stadium has 3D attack animations with the same battle system! AJ: No no no. Bad Vic. | |
Isn't that a "summarization" of everything we talk about, though? I've yet to find an instance you agreed with me.

And why the quotes around the not real word? It would appear that you are implying that summarize is not a real word... Which it most definitely is. | |
ITT: AJX has never talked to someone in real life in which the person shook his index and middle finger upward, looking like "'s meaning sarcasm.
Jokes aside, this topic went way off topic again... | |

I just don't understand the application of sarcasm in this situation. It appears to me that it would be no difference than me responding to your post with Vic "neverish" makes any sense. See the problem? Jokes aside, this topic went way off topic again... Yes, we have a way of doing that. Anyway~ Free moving combat without restrictions would be intense (or rather as intense as a pokemon game can be.) Furthermore this would allow you to walk around with your pokemon out, ride your pokemon freely (assuming they are large enough), and throw out 29 pokemon to CHEAT IN A FIGHT! Imagine getting ambushed by an army of 29 pikachus. | |

I have no clue what either of those is (I know what Digimon is... just never seen anything related to that game) so I can't really comment here. I suppose the concept is possible, but why fix what isn't broken when pokemon is already making an absurd amount of money anyway? | |
