How will the next migration work?
 
OK, so you can migrate Pokemon through the GBA slot now, but what happens when the next game comes out? Do you have to go through the tedious task of trading them over and over?

Why can't they just make a game where you get to keep your old Pokemon form the start? That wouldn't make the game too easy because then they could program the game to become harder according to your Pokemon's levels.

And another thing, I'm tired of having to go through all this National Pokedex crap just to get the Pokemon that I already know exist and have previously owned. It's my own Pokemon, so let me have it already!

I have only one response.
I feel your pain.

Just because YOU have the pokemon, doesn't mean the character you play in the GAME has the pokemon.

I think they should release a pokemon box for the Wii to replace the pokemon box for the Gamecube. Transfering pokemon via box makes life SOOO much easier.

We did it in Gold and Silver, I don't see why it would be a problem now.

Keep your old Pokemon from the start? I'm not sure what you're saying. If you bought a new game, it wouldn't have the old save file, so that would be impossible. Plus, the whole point of the games is to begin your journey as a Pokemon trainer- a beginning trainer doesn't have a level 100 Kyogre caught in Hoenn.

Also, how would it be programmed to fit your levels? If you have a level 100 Dialga amidst five other level 10s, would the game settle for even level 50s? Or would it equal the highest level Pokemon, making all of your opponent's Pokes level 100, making the rest of your team completely useless?

First, not everyone played third gen. Have you ever seen all the six year olds clamoring over Diamond and Pearl? I doubt they could speak when R/S was released.

Also, you don't have to do the National Dex. Besides, it's not like you get anything other than a star on your trainer card and a pat on the back for it.

I'm so looking forward to this.
