All we ever wanted was a Pokemon (like the gameboy games) but in 3D and for a home console.
We hoped they'd do it for the Nintendo 64 (Pokemon Snap was FANTASTIC, Pokemon Stadium fun, but no full-fledged Pokemon adventure game).
Then we hoped they'd do it for the Gamecube.
Then we hoped they'd do it for the Wii.
Then I crawled under a rock and stopped caring about video games.
Also, since about halfway through the lifecycle of the Wii I really wished Nintendo would start being a software-only company and move away from hardware so they could focus on amazing content. I'm still rooting for them even though I don't keep up to date with what's current in gaming.
- hkmurakami 11y agoCan they really make up for the lower margins from publishing on a 3rd party platform through higher volume?
- faizmokhtar 11y ago3D as in Pokemon X & Y?
- wingerlang 11y ago> .. for a home console Seems like he wanted it for an actual connected-to-tv console.
- kevinsundar 11y agoPokemon XD: Gale of Darkness is in 3D and is available on Gamecube. It's pretty cool. Here's a video of a battle in it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG5AfTYYz8w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG5AfTYYz8w
- mintplant 11y agoI have fond memories of Pokemon XD. Wish they'd make another one like it for the Wii U or whatever the NX turns out to be.
- Aissen 11y agoNi no kuni is quite close. You should try it.
- henry_vonfire 11y agoI don't know about you but what I've always imagined as an awesome pokemon game would be a 3D MMORPG, with a huge world in which I can catch will pokemons by fighting them or start a fight with another player. I'm pretty sure that I'm not the first one thinking about this idea but Nintendo has never made something like this for whatever reason they have.
- mahouse 11y agoI think Pokémon makes a whole lot more of sense as a handheld game.
- moonchrome 11y agoI don't know about you but in my generation everyone who got into pokemon played them on an emulator and at 2-6x speed. I tried playing it on a 3DS and I would probably go mental if I played that game and watched all those slow animations - the fun from that game is about optimizing "builds" and exploring - but normal game speed has soo much slow walk animations.
- weisser 11y agoYes, I got a PSP when it first came out and it pretty quickly became exclusively a Nintendo emulator for me. Pokemon on the PSP at faster speeds was remarkable. It mad going back to the Gameboy painful.
