SonicProject Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I thought they did partner with Gamespy for the Nintendo DS rendition of the system? I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I HATE friend codes. I would enjoy being able to play an oline game without sitting at my PC on Gamefaqs for an hour and a half trying to get friend codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nocturnal Kid Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Predictable, because Pokemon sells? Dur da dur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 That, and I figure they want to see how the Wiimote works out with it. .......Go POKEBALL, *Flings Wiimote*......OH SH!T, MY T.V.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted March 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Too bad it uses the DS instead of the remote, and you can say "shit", fartmonger. And yea, they joined together for the DS awhile back, not that we've seen too many third party games that use that >_> Unrelated note: Phantom Hourglass will have online multiplayer, but the multiplayer shown thus far is a Pacman ripoff, so it's not all that exciting.

MaxSonic Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I just hope they do a PSO game for it. I have yet to play one online. Oh, and a good FPS would be good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Too bad it uses the DS instead of the remote. Nice. and you can say "shit", fartmonger. No shit? (Yeah, I knew that Phoenix, I just do that for the hell of it.) Unrelated note: Phantom Hourglass will have online multiplayer, but the multiplayer shown thus far is a Pacman ripoff, so it's not all that exciting. I'm looking forward to that game, but online multiplayer? Curiosity and bleh both come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted March 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Oh, and a good FPS would be good too. You didn't like Metroid Prime Hunters? I played that with a lot of people, and aside from voice chat scaring the shit out of me, it was fun as hell. Still is. No shit?(Yeah, I knew that Phoenix, I just do that for the hell of it.)

TRD Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I'm, uh.....currently wii-less. ; So I dont pay much attention to it. And they're very difficult to find in stores and the net......besides the $600 bundle packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tentril Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Dur da dur. No one should ever say/type/think that and live. Anyway, I don't really care, online Pokemon would be plenty for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Something in my heart tells me their going to screw over this pokemon game too. I really wish they would pick a battle system that runs in Real-Time instead of the old Pokemon Stadium type. If they did it right it would look more like a pokemon battle rather than a Yugioh match without magic cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicProject Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I can't see Pokemon battles being handled by anything less than turn based. It just would not work. Phoenix, you're only half right. The Wii remote is used unless you're transmitting your Diamond/Pearl team to the game. DS is not required to play Battle Revolution... though there really isn't much point to doing so without your teams from the DS games. I'm pretty sure your team can also be saved in the game data so that you don't have to use your DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did it right it would look more like a pokemon battle rather than a Yugioh match without magic cards. Consider the fact that you are the trainer. The trainer gives commands to the Pokemon, the Pokemon carry out those commands. Making it real time would mena either you have direct control of the Pokemon (which defeats the purpose of the concept) or the Pokemon would fight in real time, and you gave commands. The problem is with that is what the pokemon would do inbetween commands. Hey Pikachu, use thunderbolt. Crap it's unaffective; gotta give another menu command. ::Pikachu continues Thunderbolt, which is useless, while the player plans his next move:: Uh oh, a Water Pokemon! Use thundebolt! Oh no! He ran out of thunderbolt because I tried to use strategy! Turn-based just works for the series, and I'm sure they've tried other engine already.

VectorSatyr Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Battle Revolution isn't worth it. Diamond and Pearl are already capable of online play. All BR offers is that same experience in 3D with your own customizable avatar. It doesn't even have many of the single player modes that made the previous installments worth trying to begin with. *thumbs down* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 You've played them both? >.> I'm actually considering Diamond and Pearl. I HATE every Pokemon post-Gold and Silver, but I feel like I want to get back into the loop. Supposedly you can take your GBA Pokemon into it, in which case, I'll buy FireRed and use the Rare Candy glitch, bring my oldschool pokemon to Diamond, and just maul everyone to death.

DimensionWarped Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Rare candied pokemons kinda lose due to weakened stat buildup. Its the equivalent of catching a wild of the given level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Lord knows I used it in Red and Blue version, by using that duplicating method. Also, water pokemon are perfect for begginers and to keep training further ahead in the game. Note that I no longer play pokemon, and I'm speaking from experience from......age 13 to age 16, maybe?

DimensionWarped Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Well, seeing as you can use a little sump'm sump'm called an SD card, you might as well just hex your pokemon to max stats. That is to say... its no more cheating than abusing some silly glitch and its a whole lot more practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 While I'm not sure you can have a full-on real time engine working, at least in the traditional sense, you can come pretty close. For instance, you could have your character do four moves just like normal. You choose one, then attack. Now, in the show there's this system of counter-attacks and reactions that the game's are completely missing. Perhaps you can have a counter that allows you to dodge and counter attack as long as it's not empty. So when the computer attacks, you just jerk the wiimote to the side you want the pokemon to dodge to. Then, it's once again turnbased- perhaps the on-screen action stops for a second?- and you choose a counter attack. Or perhaps you just have to pick an attack from your set of four. It'd be simple and yet a lot more fun and involving than what we currently have going on. In KH, your practically non-stop hacking and slashing and yet you can run through commands such as healing and all that jazz. Take out the hacking/slashing and have it attached to the pokemon with simple button presses. Simple gestures can be used for dodging, throwing a pokeball, etc. As far as potions and the like, you can always just have a pause that, as we currently do. Or, they could always just make it so that your pokemon has some sort of AI where they at least attempt to fend for themselves (simple things such as dodging) for the 5 or so seconds it'll take for you to get out your potion/pokeball.

Pheonix Gamma Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 DW: That's why I duplicated all the stat boosting items, too. I kept boosting everything until it couldn't be used any more. I caught them all, and I maxed them all out :3 Scatta: true, but then you ARE the Pokemon. I think the concept of catching, training, and fighting them would require some sort of separation between the player (trainer) and the Pokemon.
