I wonder if they are going to have any new innovative type of play, Oh wait, this is a pokemon sequel right? Nevermind, it'll be the same shit with a different pretty box label. Pokemon hasn't changed since red/blue, and iirc, those were the first ones...

I do wish there was a sort of difficulty option and a more in-depth combat system, pokemon by and far has always been just "Press A until the battle is over" They are remaking the graphics and everything but it's time they actually remade the combat system.

Does this mean females have a floppy vag on their chest?
At least they're starting to realize that pokemon have to use the bathroom too. Gamefreak and Nintendo have been defying the laws of nature for a long time, it was about time they stopped

Oh please... I can understand this criticism to remakes like Crystal and Platinum or that it doesn't change enough, but saying it hasn't changed at all since R/B is just silly. It hasn't drastically changed it's formula, it's still a turn based strategy but a game doesn't need to break what it is in order for it to be a sequel. There really isn't that much different from SC1 to SC2 really just some new units and polish. It's still basically the same game you still collect minerals/gas and make units/buildings then try to kill your opponent.

i dont know guys.. i think itll be worth getting this game regardless of the hilarious starters. They are implementing some new stuff so lets give this a chance.

Actually there are HUGE differences between SC1 and SC2 and we're not just talking about the major leap in graphics (which Pokemon sorely lacks). The single player mode has been completely revamped and the multiplayer mode plays quite differently from the original not just with different units, but the different macro and micro mechanics involved. You can't compare that to the differences between the various versions of Pokemon which are minor at best. We're essentially talking minor graphical updates, new Pokemon (a lot of which recycle the same moves), and a couple frills in terms of optional stuff to do such as Beauty Contest and such. The core gameplay is exactly the same across the board with the same menus, same options, same status effects, same elements, etc.

I will admit that the simplicity is part of what makes Pokemon what it is, but still... You would think that they could have done a little better (or a lot better) over all the years of development. But then again, I suppose I can't complain THAT much since there are plenty of other series that simply refuse to move beyond their tried and true format (*cough cough FIRE EMBLEM *cough cough)...

This is more like trying to compare SC1 to SC9 and them being relatively the same.

I have been waiting forever for a Pokemon game where the fighting was in real time.... STILL HAS YET TO HAPPEN.

Talk about awkwardly placed hands/claws, referring to whitey. Tho I still wonder how they're going to tie these into the story since Arceus pretty much settled everything.

I don't even care if it's turn based, I just want a 3D version of the game that isn't a battle simulator like the Stadium/Colosseum games.

Nintendo could make BANK off a Pokemon MMO, but with the way Nintendo handles their online functionality, I doubt we'll see that within the next 5 years.

They've been running out of animals to base Pokemon off of for quite some time now.

Seriously. Give yourself two minutes and try to name five animal groups that don't have a Pokemon based off of them.

Gastrodon is a nudibranch.

Anyway, five relatively "common" animals that don't have a Pokemon counterpart (they're all vertebrates, too!):

1. Peacock
2. Anteater
3. Zebra
4. Platypus
5. Swan

I started thinking about it from when I posted my last post to now.

EDIT: Ten minutes T_T
