Oi... you always have to make your posts thought out to make mine look like crap dontcha? XD!!
First off, I have just read every single post on this page. Wow. I have never heard a more rude, arrogant, and ignorant group of human beings. I am not saying that I am Mr. Perfect. I know I'm not right on everything. No one is. I would just like to say that this ENTIRE thread is OPINIONS! Just because someone says something does not mean that it is true. Just because you think something, does not mean that EVERYONE else in the world has to ABSOLUTELY agree with you. I love how some people say that they ABSOLUTELY know that Nintendo is done. They know for a fact that Nintendo isn't making any more pokemon games. I would love to meet all of you that think that and see you in four years. I'll make an appointment. Let's keep in touch.
Way to be man... way to be. Great job summarizing everything into a single paragraph. But, yeah. Arrogance and Ignorance is completely foolish and not needed. It just shows one's lack of knowledge without them acknowledging it directly. It's like their saying that their stupid... without even knowing it :P. Oh, and I will be holding you to that four years thing :).
Now that that's settled, time for my opinion on this. I agree with a lot of things on this thread. I agree with both sides on some things. Like it has been said a LOT before here, I suspect the following equation: PEOPLE + POKEMON GAMES= :classic: PEOPLE
:classic: PEOPLE WANTING MORE POKEMON GAMES= NINTENDO MAKING MORE POKEMON GAMES! Money is always an issue with businesses. (Obviously) But I really do believe that Nintendo does like making people happy. They enjoy making games for people to play. Yes it does cost time and money to make games. We know that. Everyone knows that. It is HARD work. But does that mean video game companies throw in the towel? "Sorry guys, we're too tired and it costs too much to make video games so, say goodbye to 'em....forever!" Yeeeeah, don't think so. My prognosis: People wanting more pokemon games = Nintendo giving people more pokemon games.
Hehe... prognosis. Big words that I have no idea what they mean :). I personally think that Nintendo loves money. They could care less about suiting major needs to their fans (especially if they do NOT make a G/S/C remake), they just want to keep a steady fan base, regardless of what the fan's attitudes are towards them. But I also think that they are gaining more support by hosting all of these easily-accessible events. Video Games are hard work? Yeah! You got that right! Just THINK of how long it took to perfect all of those tiny details in GTA IV, PLUS the fact the developers get to brag about having only ONE loading screen the entire game :).
As for the Arceus argument, I really don't see how that's an argument. I see where both sides are coming from on this. I completely agree with the fact that there is nothing higher than god and it does really seem like Nintendo dug their own grave. But just because we know that there is a god, does that mean that everything pauses at a stand-still? As almost every religion believes, there is some sort of form of a god, correct? We know that there is a god, right? Well, now that we know that there is a god, (in real life) does that mean that we are all done, there's nothing higher than god so we just stop and give up? Ooops, sorry, wrong answer. Not to suddenly change the subject but I think that Nintendo can do other things besides new pokemon. Personally, I don't think that there ALWAYS has to be something bigger and better in every game. Of course, we would like to see new features and other new game-play, but does there always have to be a new better pokemon? And if Nintendo was going to make a new legendary or new pokemon, I'm sure that Nintendo can pull it off and work it out. And who knows, (sorry, I'm changing the subject again) maybe arceus isn't the god of everything. Maybe he is just the god of the heavens. No one knows. If I am correct, there are other things in our world besides the heavens. If anyone has proof that arceus is the god that created everything, please share. I LOVE to be proven wrong.
Eh, watch out with the religion thing there Zach. Don't want to start another debate on this thread (that ISN'T worth people's time). But, other than that, yeah. I think it would be kind of neat if Nintendo went with a Greek like thing with different Pokemon gods for different elements/seasons etc. Then they could have more ideas for designs, AND the ability to actually create another 150+ Pokemon. Even though the Pokedex did say that Arceus is the 'god-Pokemon'... it also stated that it was all part of mythology, which definitely makes it shaky. Plus it gives another good reason to make a Zeus Pokemon :D.
Now, as for new features, I have no idea. I really have no clue what Nintendo will come up with next. Now for my OPINION. I believe that Nintendo will continue to make a 5th Generation and on. Until Pokemon loses its fan-base, which I do admit has gone down since the beginning; I believe that it will continue on for quite awhile. You are free to counter my opinions and share your opinions but please do not just tear me to shreds with ridiculous claims without any evidence. Thank you and I hope to see you on the forums!
Yay, someone agrees with me about the fan base! :D!
