Did you guys know Gamefreak has a blog? They should really do an English counterpart to this, because that blog that the one guy runs isn't really that good.

I find it funny that I have been playing Pokemon for about 11 years now, and thats the first time I have ever seen the Gamefreak offices.

I think thats because of the type of games they were.hemtae said:
Yellow was Pika's game based on the anime so they make that feature to show that even more. GS was also pretty much the "part 2" to RBY which is why it cramed in 2 lands.
I think they learnt their lesson about ADDING cool features and taking them away with RS (C had animations and was SOOO COOL for it but than RS came along and they were taken out . . . and it added to the decline in sells. But DP has animations and it turned the series around for people like me)

Here's the RSS feed if you're interested as well.
Honestly, HM moves make me sick of pokemon these days.
I got up to the champions thingy at the end of Pearl and just gave up. Having to have that one HM piggy, and having to go all the way back if you happen to have left one like flash or co.... blech...
The series would be so much more fun if they cut some of the flab off it.
I love the pokemon, the collecting, the lvling up (Well... not so much if its too grindy) and stuff, but some of the series is in desperate need to move on.
But then again, when they sell a million copies on launch every time, there isnt much incentive to... push the envelope.
There is so much untapped potential in the series though, makes me sad >.< (I mean a decent console game for one! And the recipe for a great mmo that would easily rival Wow...)

Wow, someone posted this over at Serebii (linking to this thread) and all the people over there are bitching about how much space it would take up because "if they don't do anything different than why have the extra sprites?".
I thought there was mad shiny love over there . . . hell, Im a shiny hunter and just thinking about how balls crazy this could be is making me want to either fap or cry . . . soon I do both?

Can't you trade people for Japanese Pokemon as well?
So if there's 493 pokemon, and you want to capture a shiney version of each one, of each gender, in both languages, that would be...
Oh fuck that...

The game is going to have new additions to the gender and breeding portions of the game. An example of these has actually already been revealed to the the public though many people don't realize what it means:
Certain Pokemon will gain new looks based on their parents and while I don't know any specifics right now, I know it's going to be very in-depth.
PHEW. There we go. Once you threw the "say or be banned" card out there I knew I had to spill the beans.
Honestly, though, that is IT. That is the bottom of the barrel. I have no more information on the game or its release or anything else. I have told you all EVERYTHING I know. :lol
:lol really wow ..... but now i can do the easy thing and breed with diddo any more

Damn, those Pokey forums are something else . . .
Bulba is having some debate over walking your pokemon . . . something about how the park was owned by someone so you had to follow their rules or something.
Anyway, Im going to start useing this gif more often . . .

So...
Anyone else find it a bit random that the Legendary birds made appearances in Platinum?
These will be the first remakes to feature version-exclusive Legendaries, so I'm wondering/hoping if we might see some new crossover quest for the other Legendary, like with Regigigas in D/P.
So, say, if you have all three Legendary Birds in your party, you can access an area to fight/capture the Legendary not on the cover of your game.

Wrong, you could get both legendary birds in one game. You got wing for the other bird (Lugia in Gold and Ho-oh in Silver) in Pewter City, so it was possible to catch both of them in one game.Ravidrath said:
Only version exclusive legendaries are Kyogre and Groudon (both obtainable in Emerald) and Palkia and Dialga (both optainable in Platinum).

Me as well.
Give me a fucking surf board, weed wacker, chisle, etc. Don't force me to use up a move space just so I can progress.
God I wish I could write them a letter or something.
Eteric Rice said:
That's what I was thinking. It doesn't even have to be actual tools! The Pokemon universe in general seems relatively advanced for a civilization, so I'm sure the hero's poke-watch/tool/dex/whatever-it-is-this-time could become some kind of multi-function device. It could be augmented to cut through bushes, or convert to a flotation device for traveling across water, or emit a bright enough light to traverse a cave, or even change a small flying machine for traveling between towns.
That's just one idea, but I don't really care what they do. This HM bullshit needs to stop.
Did people actually want 3D for this game? Ugh. Thank god it's keeping the style of DPP. 3D on DS is disgusting =/ It's not 1996 anymore. Beautiful 2D > 1st gen 3D.
Edit: By the way, making sprites different would be a MUCH better way of "individualizing" Pokemon than the current IV system. I'd say the problem here is time though, not space.

At this point, I think they're just too scared of messing with a winning formula. They don't know what change would be the downhill slope for Pokemon, so they don't bother changing much of anything.
The HM system could definitely use an overhaul, but I wouldn't expect them to change it.
Not that there's any way to actually contact them and have a meaningful discussion about it, but the game is about Pokemon, not the trainer and his gadgets. It's why they do it now, and it would be a prereq for any proposed "solution."
I think my ideal solution would be to make them "Legendary Artifacts," like Kyogre's Scale, Ho-oh's Feather, etc. and then you have the option of "drawing to the move out" using a Tutor to teach the actual move to a Pokemon. This makes them even more about Pokemon, and also potentially tie into the game's story.
Yeah, I'm a little baffled by this sort of wanton tech fetishism. Full 3D, especially on the DS, would really hurt the game's look, I think. Even on more powerful systems, I think it'd just end up generic and personality-free, unless they went all-out to comes up with a unique rendering style, say, emulating Sugimori's coloring style.
But, really, this is probably more about money than anything - a move to 3D would drastically reduce their profitability. Even if you were to make only the overworld 3D and not have 3D monsters in battle, etc., we're talking about a lot of time and money spent for very little impact. People never have and never will play these games for their graphics.

I'm alright with revamping HMs. Except for Surf. Surf is awesome.
Hell, if they made HM moves scalable in some way, I'd be completely on board. Let me upgrade Cut from a slightly better Tackle to something closer to Slash. Let me make Rock Smash actually useful. By the end of the game those moves just aren't desirable anymore.
Actually, I think I'm on to something here. They should just do this.

Not really where you were going, I think, but kind of interesting... adding overworld modifiers to existing classes of moves. Would be another layer added onto existing moves, sort of like the contest moves.
Cut: Any claw or blade attack, such as Scratch, Slash, Psycho Cut, etc.
Strength: Any tackling attack, such as Tackle, Body Slam, etc.
Etc.
Could still keep the HMs around to teach Pokemon moves guaranteed to fulfill those conditions in a pinch, if you just like using the moves, etc., but the badges would "let you use cutting attacks in the field."

Latios or Latias, couldnt you only also only choose one or the other?
I agree on the HMs taking up space. I always teach 'em to the shitty Pokemon (I got a Bibarel with both Rock Smash and Cut, for example).
I have a question though. What is the deal with having a Pikachu with Surf? Is Surf actually a decent move? Could Pikachu at one point learn that move? I'm confused by what you guys keep typing. @_@

Can someone please explain to me how Pokemon fans have tolerated playing the SAME game over and over for the last 15 years?
Don't get me wrong, it's a good formula, but it's the SAME formula. I could understand if it had at least made the jump to 3d but it hasn't (not really anyways). I mean you go around town, talk to some people, collect pokemon, "level them" and beat the gym leader. Wash, rinse and repeat.
I bought the original Red way back whe , and recently purchased Diamond, and it's a great game, but ONLY in moderation b/c its more or less the SAME damn experience. It hasn't even gone MMO yet! or on a console, Done proper.
How does Nintendo get away with this? And why do fans allow them??

Because it's fun.
It also helps that the core demographic hasn't changed, so there's always an influx of new fans.
