5th generation pokemon

[Hiryo]

I wouldnt play an mmo of pokemon if the customization is so linear. People say it's oh so vast now with breeding stats and using the candies and those Poke-traits now but it's still not that interesting imo. It's not like 1 person's Typhlosion is going to be all that different from another. One is just going to have better grinded stats and thats not that fun to me.

Now what someone said about what purpose the legendaries will have since a "poke-god" has been thought of, i'm sure they can come up with something. If anything they can jsut say that 4th-gen legendaries are just local folklore and the new poke-god and its 3 babies is this 5th-gen's folklore. Maybe it can be what they think is the first pokemon with no type and no element and its baby(ies) with no types and 1 element or vice-versa lol

I wouldnt play an mmo of Final Fantasy if the customization is so linear. People say it's oh so vast now with combat stats and using the exp rings and those different equips now but it's still not that interesting imo. It's not like 1 person's Ninja is going to be all that different from another. One is just going to have better geared stats and thats not that fun to me.

Well done.

They should concentrate on improving the online capabilities of the next Pokemon game, but seeing as Wii/DS online experiences are just awful (for me at least) I can see the next game just being the same as Di/Pe/Pl. ~_~ Also work on creating a more interactive world that connects locations from the previous games. Hopefully not in the way of Gold/Silver (like BRP mentioned) which was basically just a shell of Kanto with only the old gym leaders to keep you busy. =/

I don't think a pokemon game that incorporates online play is best described by MMO. When I imagine the ultimate pokemon game it would be one that incorporates all of the regions and pokemons and has a fair amount of dungeons to explore. As far as online capabilites would go in my make believe game it would be optional; allowing whether you play solo or go online where you can interact with other players, kind of like a pokemon version of Diablo?

You don't need a Poke'mon MMO. Simply make a Stadium type game for the Wii and give it online play, trade, tag-teams etc. The only difference between a Poke'mon MMO and a Stadium game you can play online is the ability to show others how much better you are because you've caught X amount of Poke'mon or won X amount of battles. The entire Poke'mon franchise has sold itself on the premise of "Catching them all" since day 1, and what separates an MMO from a 1player game is your ability to gloat to the world when you accomplish something and can prove it.

Honestly the only thing wrong with this franchise is it's still on a portable system. Put this on a platform with a way for players to interact, trade and obtain poke'mon online without some gimmick like a Toys'r'us event or gameshark and you'd have a hit. Poke'mon is all about trading, interacting with others, and battling. Why it's still on a hand held system you can only play with RL friends when we have hundreds of people interacting over the internet is beyond me.

Wut.

You do know people have been doing all of those things online in Pokemon for nearly three years now?

I've spoken to the hardcore players, the ones who'll throw one out if even one DV isn't maxed, and to them it's about nothing more than battling. They treat it like ultimately serious business, in an over-the-top manner I've only seen elsewhere in Smash Brothers players. Sadly, unlike Smash, Pokemon hasn't introduced very many "fuck you" elements in its most recent games to the Stop Having Fun Guys hardcore players.

By evidence of your paragraph, you are a "Stop Having Fun Guy" because you want others to suffer things that are not fun. Also you were born without a penis: "Oh man, no one chats over Pokemon!"

I'd say you're more like that because you'd rather things exist that cater only to your idea of "fun."

Also you were born without a penis: "Oh man, no one chats over Pokemon!"

The fact that you can't amass a collection of shoes as large as you can Pokemon is more of what keeps me away from the game these days.

[Not Kuno]

I consider myself ultra hardcore and none of my Pokemon have max 31 EVs in all areas. But I did make sure they have the right nature and the important stats (ie. gyarados with max speed/attack) are where they need to be. For something like that, gyarados does NEED max special attack, or even really spD since it's so low. The hardcore people you were talking about are probably OCD psychopaths or cheaters who just create perfect pokes with no effort. >.>

[Narol]

You leave out the word "relevant" thinking it's simply assumed and look what you get in response. :T

For the record, as long as something has 25+ in its relevant stats, I'm satisfied. Very occasionally I'd make sure something had the perfect 31 but I don't consider myself hardcore enough to breed for hours upon hours just for a few points in a stat that'll only matter in the Battle Tower and crap. I don't care about tournaments, especially because the "standard" rules seem to involve removing vast parts of the game because players can't handle the random number generator.

[Deadgye]

First generation was the best. Second generation was just as awesome. Third generation and afterward were fail. The only pokemon I give recognition are first generation, second generation, and mudkip.

Show was good until misty left (lol DP). Movies 1, 2, and 4 were good, all others suck.

And yeah, I would also quit life for a pokemon MMO. If they could implement it properly, it could easily be the most awesome MMO ever, greater than WoW, EQ, Aion, FFXI, and Hello Kitty Online combined!

[Draylo]

Some of the newer ones look just plain weird. I don't at all for maxing stats, too much work and it doesn't even matter for a majority of the game unless you are taking it online. Online sucks too imo, I don't like the whole min/maxing shit with best techs and legendaries it isn't fun if you can't use your favorites.

How is that any different from Gen 1? In Gen 1, Mewtwo/Alakazam owned anything and everything.

[Draylo]

I never did multiplayer battling in Gen 1. I was talking more about the regular gameplay not online/multiplayer.

[Not Kuno]

That's too bad. I remember going to tournaments with my blue when I was like 14, and my opponent called hax on my mewtwo and the official had to check its stats. It really did rape everything in the face and psychic was retardedly broken.
