It's about time. The lineup for the 3DS has resulted in mine being sat on my desk unused for nearly a year. This changes that.

Why Picachu says "Vita, vita" when it is for DS?

I'll most definatly be buying a 3DS just to get this game! I've never missed a new Pokemon game launch since the Red and Blue days!

So let me get this straight: there are actually people complaining? I guess there had to be, yet it's most likely the same people who raged when Black and White was released, finding it insulting that they had still not improved upon graphics. 

Being 20 years old, i remember in the 00's when i played Red and Blue, and when Gold and Silver released, my interrest peaked! I would always go to my friends house to play Pokémon Stadium, and during the GameCube era, i loved Pokémon Colesseum, but that was my last Pokémon game i truly enjoyed - why? Because there was no innovation, just a bunch of new Pokémon and new regions, and that was fine for the new audience that it pulled in, but i lost interrest.

During all these years with the franchise, i had one simple wish: Pokémon Stadiums battlesystem, multiplayer feel, and Colesseums running around. I knew i wasn't the only one, basically every kid who played the franchise dreamt of the coming perspective, being tired of bird's eye view and 2D sprites.

10 years after Gold (which i spent a good 260 hours on and to this day have my save file kept!) they are finally releasing the one thing TRUE fans of this franchise wanted. Do not tell me i don't know what i'm talking about, i remember my first card being a Squirtle, i remember how much it ment to me getting the Dragonite in Gold,  how damn proud i was, that nobody could beat me at my school, it's been years since i played the games, yet i still remember which attack is super effective, i even remember most of the original Pokémons names (that is the 150 originals) - the impact this franchise had on 90's kids is crazy!

When you complain and call the franchise stupid or a copy/paste experience like CoD you're mistaking. Pokémon has a lot of tactical mechanics, and i can't for one be more excited that i shall be playing online against others! It's not a damn copy/paste experience when they give you 100+ new Pokémons each time, and a new region to explore! There are multiple sorts of Pokémon games, but these are the original, the ones that started it, you don't have to buy it, or love it, but it's a solid franchise! I'll be buying a 3DS just for this.

@DaneGamer glad to see there's somebody else out there who can at least appreciate the jump in graphics. The tactical depth has always been the same but you have to admit that it's always been made deeper with each installment. I had stopped after gold and silver but even then I was pretty happy with how the series had progressed.

When you think about it pokemon is the only game that will always allow you to have fun and not be trolled by ppl threw some sort of multi player and they are still growing in popularity some may complain about it now, but i know for sure that it will be bought by a lot of people me included

AAARRGGGG!!! stop makeing f****** pokemon how do you kill off bleach and S*** and keep this garbage... after D/P they should have stopped and then remade the old ones with 3D graphics or something i used to love this game.. i stll charish my soul silver i wish it was 3D but all this new crap makes me hate pokemon now.. i hope sales completely drop and no one buys this garbage and it causes nintendo to waste billions..(which will probably never happen cuz this is a strictly babys only game and theres a new baby born every day.. especially in japan..)

@TheWeaper Jeeze, you sound like a 10 year old. A baby game? Really. I haven't heard criticism like that since elementary school. Your Japan comment is strange. There are less babies born in Japan than in almost any other developed country, so I don't even know what you're saying there. 


This game looks like a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to getting it.

I realize the dynamics of entropy and nostalgia but I still have pangs of sorrow to see the 2D megaverse get swallowed up by the disappointing 3D rendering of a world that is best illustrated in my imagination...Besides, invisible walls are worse and more insulting than plausible 2D barriers...

I wanted to get into Pokémon, I really did, but I just can't be bothered immersing myself in a world where my goal is to trap all stupid million three hundred and tedious seven thousand recycle hundred and fifty stale inanimate objects with faces drawn on them inside balls so I can fight them against other chair/lamp/rock/tree lookalikes so I figure out that dark granite fire wind types are effective against crystal wood ice electric types and save the world 200 agonising hours later with this knowledge.

"Breathtaking" seems a rather poor choice of adjective.  I mean, yes, it's 3d now, but come on....  Use strong adjectives sparingly, so that when you finally do come on something that really is superior, you will have a suitable word to describe it.

LE5LO
LE5LO

@MrNWatson But that word has been a hallmark of marketing geniuses since the dawn of time! I suppose though, they could replace it with "Discover a SUB PAR PS2 style 3d world!" to really hook the kids, right?

Just wait until they release "Pokémon Z", like happened to Ruby/Sapphire, Gold/Silver and Diamond/Pearl.

@rushiosan Right, but I'm thinking more like "Pokémon ZZzzzz" - Snorlax edition. -_-

I finally have a reason to buy a 3DS.  But I still think a full 3D open world game for the WiiU would be a much better idea.  Too bad they already said Pokemon will stay true to the "Pocket Monsters" ideal.

I don't care about the graphics. Pokemon were never about the graphics but the gameplay.
I did expect tho a remake of Ruby and Sapphire. Dunno if this gonna make me buy a 3DS.
We'll wait and see I guess.

@chronox44 Yes, because Nintendo is going to completely change the core gameplay of one of their highest selling series when it's still going strong.  Seriously?

@Frankenstrat247 @chronox44 Yep , actually the gameplay is awesome , the boring part is the graphics.

They could have done with Super Mario Galaxy graphics , that would be awesome.

At least it's a step forward on the series. I just don't know why they took time to make a sequel to black/white. When this game is released I'll have a reason to buy the 3DS, up until now I have none.

Bah... i thought it would be something better..

If only NINTENDO was smart enough they would sell WII U like water.                                   Why don't make a Pokemon Blue/Red/Yellow for Wii U with REAL 3D open world ?               I have absolutely no plan on buying a Wii U , but me and a lot of people would definitely get one if Nintendo was a bit smarter...

I only know the first 160 Pokemon and the rest just ugh...The new ones come out so deformed IDK if you can even call it a pokemon T.T Sad, but the first 151 Pokemon were the best and still are.

charliezard

@x2rufff4u That's not true. I'm guessing you played Red and Blue when you were a kid. It makes sense that you would prefer them, but there are really a ton of fun and creative pokemon beyond the first gen. Try them out with an open mind. You might not love them, but I think they're all great, and I've been playing since Red and Blue first came out in America.

Nice. I want a more engaging battle system though. Like a timer for your moves so you have to be decisive.

"A BREATHTAKING 3D WORLD!" ffs. This game looks like CRAP.

I think pokemon series deserves a better graphics than that doom1 engine. TOO MANY years this game been looks like crap, Ofc its 3Ds game but WTH!?

how much do you want to bet that those legendary pokemon at the end have some sort of power over the x and y plains or in simple terms can control 3D. and having some plot about a evil team that wants to 2D. Or some lame crap like that.
