Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

New Info - 5th Generation Pokemon games : Pokemon Black and Pokemon White

Pokemon rubber and plastic versions. The "recycled" years.
 
3rd Generation also had the complete rewrite of the Stats algorithms. In G1 and G2, they had flat stats that could each be maximized independently. EVs and IVs didn't exist until G3.

What do I want to see? A storyline that actually contains some semblance of *story*, and not just "evil team takes over world" kinda junk. Distinct and memorable characters (most characters are bland). Branching pathways. A storyline that is NOT just collecting badges and beating the E4. Maybe a branching storyline that has nothing to do with the Gym challenge. Maybe the entire game could be beaten without ever setting foot in a League Gym. Maybe you can join or infiltrate whatever evil organization you encounter. A main character that isn't just silent all the time. Just something different from a story perspective.
I've been saying this for a while now.


It's kind of sad that the games cost as much money as they do but are relatively the same. I'm sorry, but a new team name for the bad guys, new names for the main characters, and a new title for the game that has all of the same basic concepts and goals of over 10 games that I've bought in the past isn't cool.

EDIT: And that's not to mention that half of the games are just remakes of old ones. All they do is update the graphics, mechanics, and add in a new feature or two.


If you're going to release a new game, oh, I don't know... Make something about it NEW!

FOR GOD'S SAKE! HOW MANY TIME DO I HAVE TO COMPLETE THE STUPID POKEDEX BEFORE YOU REALIZE I NEED MORE POKEMANZ!?!?

True why not add some new twist into it. I know the games will sale just because their new but still all it's going to be is a new region, new pokemon, some new evil team that is looking for some way to mess up the world as we know it. Then they will add some new poke tool. So maybe they might just add something new to it other then the same old stuff and Benzo I don't thank that they will turn Plastic and Rubber into a game I don't know about a pokemon type who knows they might just to promote recycling lol but then I thank that would be sad because then you'll know they ran out of ideas lol.
 
I agree with Toxictaipan's rants. The story line in Coloseum was actually one of my favorites since Wes is an ex-villain and the story of shadow pokemon was a breath of fresh air. Sure, coloseum was a bit short and bland compared to our Gen 4 games but it was a nice change of pace.

For pokemon Black & White, if we have to challenge more gyms, please don't let it be 8. Raise it to 10, or lower it to 4 and give us more to do in the storyline. Please no more contests! Just stop with contests. I want to see more interaction with the pokemon I carry on my team too. HGSS did fantastic job with the partner pokemon feature but I really think Gamefreak could expand on that much more. Like letting the player pet his Arcanine with the DS touch screen.

Come on Gamefreak, surprise us with something new and not with new Professor, :fire::water::grass: starters, 8 gyms & elite 4, and a team Gaia, Chaos, Emo, ect.

Pokemon meets Nintendogs....

What I would like is a game where you could go to ALL the regions (like the anime) and if you want you challenge the gyms/E4 of each region. After you beat a region you HAVE to choose a new Pokemon, and start over (instead of just making the next set of leaders/E4 stronger). You could also have the option of becoming a Professor, Work on the "evil" team, or even settle down & raise the next champion...

Something in the lines of Fable would be really cool. Heck a Pokemon RPG on the Wii with 3D Pokemon & landscapes would be cool.

[long-winded, superfluous rant]

I definitely agree, Colosseum had the best plot. It actually made sense (forgetting what is physically possible and what is not for the moment) and is the one I have replayed the most. He had an actual reason to take these people on, but I would like to see more character development in these games. Not Final Fantasy depth, but give the character a reason to wake up in the morning. Plus, you could see that the villains were actually evil (with a PG coating to stay clean, of course).

Do you really think Nintenmon is a good idea? Well, Nintendo might give it a shot. They do love the random spin-offs, what with Mystery Dungeon, Trozei, Dash, Pinball, the Trading Card Video Game (a game about a game about a game... the circles keep going forever if you think about it enough). They own both, after all. And they love to recycle.

If they do have gyms, give us a reason to battle them other than 'that's what the plot is, go beat the gyms. Do it now. Oh, and save the world from evil while the gym leaders sit back and think up convoluted mazes for you.' Does anyone else wonder what Gym leaders do in their spare time?

The only official statement I can remember is someone saying they will make a drastic change to the pokemon system, but they've done that in all the previous generations too. Items, EVs/IVs redone (they did in fact exist in gens 1 and 2, they were just different), and then the physical/special split. Here's hoping for no more turn-based battles, or some opportunity to do a realistic battle. Because honestly, Ninjask, a pokemon that can move so fast that it is just a blur, will obvously get several attacks in for each attack a slowpoke does in real life. Something like Mystery Dungeon's speed factor.

So, in conclusion, two suggestions for Nintendo. One: Give the characters some personality. Let them feel pain, let them lose, and let them talk for crying out loud!
Two: Reasons. For everything. Why am I fighting this Gym? Why am I taking down criminal organizations overnight? Where are the police? Why are you still giving me a blank pokedex when I have already filled it? Three times, in fact. I assume it would at least have basic data, unless you got hacked, They are called 'backups' and 'firewalls.'

[/long-winded, superfluous rant]

Oh, and I forgot: Better Black and White than something like SunRed and MoonGray. They're probably going to be changed to something ridiculous like NightBlack and DayWhite because Black and White just aren't 'cool' enough, or are too basic and bland. I'm glad they didn't have this mentality when Pokemon Red and Blue were released. It would never have made it over the Pacific, for fear of being too weird.

I can imagine some developers laughing their heads off. "No, no, Red and Green are boring. We're going to see how far we can push these names before everyone stops playing out of shame."

Black and White are perfect names, it's just that, it might come to a problem when it hits, the US. Which will lead to stuff, but I don't want to talk about it.

Seeming that a longer story line would be nice, but the gym challenges with 8 Gym Leaders, I don't want that to ever change, unless it takes place in The Orange Islands, which everyone will go "WHAT!".

As far as it goes for the Evil Team X, What about Team Rocket again. I think it really fits the name Black and White.
 
actually i would like it better if it have team galactic, team rocket, team aqua, team magma in one same game.

and have access to jotho, sinnoh, hoenn, and kanto region. i would like it better if they include the islands like seven island like in fire red/leaf green.

if the game is like xd/colosseum it would be better if there are more new pokemon.



i am not sure how it is like. is it like adventure play ex. heart gold/soul silver or like role play ex. mystery dungeon red/ mystery dungeon blue or like 3d play ex. xd/colosseum

black/white is a great name cause after all jewelery there are no name left but have to chose these colors as name.

I like what they did with the graphics. I saw them early this morning and they look cool. I can't wait to see what els they did but still it's most likly going to be the same as the other sixteen pokemon game have been so far.
 
Overworld grapics look neat. I also like how both the pokemon centers and marts are in one building now. I'm more concerned about any battle changes though.

This thread is sure going into Pokemon Black and White quite nicely. I definitely can't wait for the games' release in Japan.

I have seen the new images from the new game and I was literally impressed. This game really maximizes the Nintendo DS's 3D capabilities. The image where the player is in the city is especially what reflects this. It really brings in an awesome feel because it really brings the feel that you are in a big city with sky-high skyscrapers. It is also quite cool that they brought the Poke-mart into the Pokemon Center. That's really convenient now, and a new vehicle that was hinted by CoroCoro too? I definitely can't wait to hear about that. The battles look pretty cool too because now the Pokemon's back sprite is now displayed in a full body portion. The background look really well done too in battles. This really brings the feel of a Pokemon battle that's for sure.

Pokemon Black and White are indeed going to be awesome games. Although they may not be released on the 3DS, still, these games look plainly awesome.:thumb:
 
Im okay with the same old story line, I just want the story to be a lot harder.

I like the story part of the game, I couldnt give a crap about after you beat the game your supposed to get 100 more pokemon and level them all up to lv.100. Thats boring and not fun.

Lets just have a bland storyline that has difficult opponents. Lets have the elite four be level 80 instead of level 50.

:eek: Drooooooollllllll..............
 
the game is actually half 3d and half not 3d. when outdoor looks like 3d. indoor like in a pokemon center does not seems like 3d. i wonder how the regions will be like. but while surfing may look like 3d. lets see when the game is released here in the united states. i would like to see the trailer
 
The graphics really look cool, but I stand by my statements. You can't sugarcoat the the same game a gazillion times just by updating the graphics, mechanics, and changing some names.

The Pokemon RPG needs a serious overhaul.

Maybe they will release the trailer at Worlds again - like they did for HeartGold/SoulSilver last year.

That's what a lot of my friends and I have also said about the game.

I want to rise to the ranks of Team Rocket. Let's see it happen.
