Secret Bases would have been awesome!
In Ruby and Sapphire, it was so awesome to make your secret base. Much easier to buy stuff and decorate, and you could really have fun with them, especially with friends.
They have the Underground in D/P, but it's just not as cool. It's quite tedious to grow spheres and then find people to buy stuff off, and bases are always rocky and samy. In R/S, you could make it anywhere, you didn't have to go Underground, it was always there in the world. You could make it in trees and bushes, as well. You could put in next to waterfalls or really close to a Town. It would have been so cool to be able to do that in P/D, now that we have Wi-Fi. Whenever you add a Friend and battle or mix records online, their secret base appears in your game. Then, you can go there everyday and battle an NPC of them. Plus you get their base design. It would have been so awesome. Why didn't they just stick it in the new game? |
That and surfing, only two things they messed up with the game transfers. that and I don't agree with egg pokemon coming out as level ones.
and I agree it should be that way, you have pretty nice ideas. |
I agree with you, I liked the secret bases way more than the underground especially in the decorating aspect (not being hinderd by rocks everywere), but I guess they just wanted to try something new.
Besides, when I'm really bored, I go digging around the underground and find lots of useful items :P. That's pretty much the only aspect of the underground that I like. |
I hate the fact that you need to play capture the flag with a friend in order to remove those stupid boulders in your base. There is barely anyone that I know who has this game so it makes it pretty annoying to decorate. D:

I was actually thinking of turning on both of my DS's and going underground for both my D and P. At least I would have captures the flags in both Bases, and get Spiritomb. LOL.
|
I like the whole Underground system, but the bases are pretty dissapointing this time around. I long for the good old R/S/E bases. They were too much fun.
=^-^= |
Yeah, I never understood Secret Bases... The only reason for me to go Underground is finding fossiles and rare items. But what the heck, I still spend money and orbs to my Secret Base. =))

It's because it makes hacked Pokemon harder to recognize.
|
Meh, I never saw the appeal. Maybe that's just me though.
|
well, level one makes since for an egg since it is a baby and it doesnt have any experience.
how could it be level 5 with no experience? that doesnt make sense to me.... i love R/S/E bases. they were the coolest! with the slides and stuff, that was so much fun! :) haha. they shouldve put it in D/P, that wouldve been awesome.... |
i think d/p Bases are cool but R/S/E were better. I loved the slide you got after E4 at department.
Also there a loads of new items: bikes, globe, shelves. |
I love the underground. My friends and I have so much fun in it.
But I have to agree with what's been said about the bases. R/S/E did do it better. |
IMO R/S/E did it better because the whole Secret Bases thing was new at that time.

But I guess that's the main problem with making new games. What do you keep and what do you change? You have to make sure it isn't too samy. Perhaps they interviewed a load of Japanese Kids that didn't happen to care about Secret Bases. I suppose it's good they kept the idea at all, but the Underground doesn't do it justice. It's a cool idea, but it just doesn't appeal to me - plus it doesn't even use Online Play! Why add Wi-Fi and not make the Underground online? It could have become a masive hub for online players, like a giant online Union Room. Blegh, i suppose you can't reach full potential with the DS. |
