Literally the only reason to not do it is because Nintendo doesn't want to have a PC only game Has Nintendo actually ever made a game for the PC? I'm thinking and I can't pick one out. You might be able to make a MMO on the Wii U with that big new controller. | ||

It's a problem with a lot of old midi/8bit style tracks of older games. You can recognize them because they had to be memorable due to memory space but they certainly where not things you'd listen to regularly. At least I don't know many people who when I play the ultima midi's are all like "crank it up" Vulpix is too cute to evolve, Paras used to be my favorite cute pokemon until a friend ruined it for me by stating what paras is actually undergoing. At least we both agree on Jolteon. I disagree re: 8bit stuff Look at all of the chiptune stuff that has spawned out of that since. I know I personally do enjoy listening to old 8bit/wf!it stuff every now and then. You hear of people remixing old stuff like that all the time and I feel like the pokemon music isn't a popular topic for example. Again could just be bias. | ||

Think it was Cloyster/gengar/alakazam/parasect/hypno and...someone I played Gold as well but I don't even remember if I finished it. I certaily don't remember much about it other than I think my fave was Xatu? Is xatu a thing? That sounds right. | ||

Then again, Gold is lame too because you can't get Ninetails without trading. PS, did you guys know that you couldn't get Kingdra in Gen 1? I just learned that. Weird as hell. | ||

This is where a lot of single-player RPG->MMORPG jumps have problems. A single-player RPG is designed around you being the hero and can basically build the progression of things around the fixed path you'll take through the game in your story. A successful MMO has to be designed around the reality that you're not the singular hero, and that you have to somehow fit into a world where there's a lot of people like you while at the same time making you feel important and unique. It has to do a lot more to not feel like "single player RPG with a bunch of annoying other people in my game who keep challenging me to battles while I'm trying to progress". Given the typical progression of the single-player Pokemon games, this would be hard to fit, especially given that the stories in newer Pokemon games have increasingly "save the world" plot lines. | ||

Think of the bonds people form with these dinky little 2D sprites. Having actual fleshed out pokemon with behaviors outside of battle would be absurdly popular, and really entertaining as well. Sustainable is the main thing I'm thinking about. Nintendo won't make the game for the PC. That's fine, they're a console gaming company with their own consoles and handhelds. Consoles and handhelds have limited lifespans. Wii U is a year and a half old. 3DS is over 3 years old. When the next one comes out, the games should be backwards comparable sure, but for how long? I mean yeah, people will keep playing it on old systems, but you're not gonna want to do updates to old systems, and then your expansions are across consoles, which is fine I guess, but you're re-building an entire MMO if you want to move it to the next system. | ||

then make it all based around economy and you can have multiple sets of pokemans but some pokemas die and you have to capture new pokemans | ||

I don't see Nintendo making a PC game in the near future because they like to make games for friends to play together. Going full PC is the ultimate sign of giving up. | ||

Things like the "uniqueness" of legendary Pokemon opens up a whole new can of worms. How do you make catching Legendaries sensible? If there's only one per server, that kind of just blows for most people, but when a hundred thousand people have one, they similarly lose their luster. | ||

uniqueness of pokemon again can be done either in an EVE way where its super expensive or a more WoW way where they are really rare and/or difficult to kill so only a few people have them | ||
