Hrrmmm... Can we get back on topic, maybe?
Anyways, I recently figured that the Regis will be in the next shadow pokemon game, obviously.
As well, three of the twelve starters will be obtainable (the three johto starters being obtainable in the first two shadow pokemon games) and hopefully it will be the kanto starters.
Finally, I should like to see more special moves variety than Heal Bell, Refresh, and Helping Hand on most of the Pokemon. Wish would be nice to see more of, and I would even be okay with Healing Wish.

Here's an idea for a Shadow Pokemon game...

Its called Pokemon: The Darkness Within

Plot:
A meteor has hit the planet and has mysterious powers locked within it. An organization known as Vexus takes the meteor to their base and researches it. They learn that any Pokemon around the meteor gets turned into the fabled Shadow Pokemon. Scientists utilize the meteor's power and focus it into an arm-like device called a Shadow Snagger that turns any Pokemon captured into a Shadow Pokemon. The main character comes in and takes the Shadow Snagger and runs away, only to have a Shadow Eevee hitch a ride.

Throughout the course of the game, the main character tries to figure out how to convert the Shadow Snagger into a device that can purify Pokemon with a single catch. Also, the Shadow Eevee that you obtain constantly switches between Purified and Shadow, making training of it difficult.

At the end of the game, Arceus appears and purifies the Eevee (or whatever you have evolved it into). The Shadow Snagger is destroyed and Shadow Pokemon exist no more. Also, the Shadow Snagger only turns into a Purify Snagger at the end of the game when you have reached certain objectives.


A game with that plot would be SO cool to play!

And Nintendo would give up cash cows of having different agames with one region each, by mixing them all together? Unlikely to happen, also if you consider memory space for it as well...

Here be my main qualm - why ddidn't Arceus appear eariler and stop it in the beginning of the game? Also, not sure if there would be a game based on him, but one never knows...

They need Wi-Fi union rooms, where you can go online and chat with other players live, and just like a union room, have 1-on-1 battles, trade pokemon with the person, and draw.

i know this is probably so far off the mark that its a dot on the horizon, but i have my suspicions about ??? arceus...

although i too doubt he'll ever feature heavily in a game, or come to that, officially EXIST...

Firstly, they more than likely won't use an event Pokemon in the games, such as Arceus. Especially considering his 'status', so you will. But they won't use his ??? type, I can say. It's really just a placeholder, nothing more.

I just want to see routes, wild Pkmn (grass can't be that hard to make, please Nintendo), a better storyline, and a better explination of Shadow Pkmn than, "The door to its heart is closed." Why don't we go all the way back to kindergarten and say that they're just big meanies.

That last line is probably the funniest I've seen for quite a long time here on PC. XD

Anyway, yeah, I doubt they're actually gonna keep going with this whole Shadow Pokémon thing. Sure, it was in the spotlight in Colosseum, it took a whole new focus in Gale of Darkness, but IMO it didn't really catch on all that much, and like Mo Man said, the whole "door to heart is teh closed" is just a bit too superficial for anybody to try and make sense out of it. =/

Matt-O May 23rd, 2008 11:50 AM

Good to see that someone agrees with me. I think that with some effort the Shadow Pkmn games could be really good, right now they just don't have a solid reason for shadows to exist, which destroys the whole principle that they are bad. Maybe they're just antisocial. What's so horrible about that? There needs to be a better reason for everthing about them.

*Points to sig in a non-blatently-advertising-way, then realises that fic hasn't shown a method of the 'clsoing the heart' yet* - well, leastways I have some stuff on the sort...

One thing that those factor in the possibility of there being another Shadow Poke game is that Genius Sorinity is seemingly the company given the job of handling major Pokemon games on the Gamecube and the Wii (Colo, XD, and the non-RPG PBR). They may choose to continue with their own creation... but if they do, I for one would also like less plotholes and more explanations (although Colo did then lead to my fic due to having so many darn plot holes...). And more Miror B.

Saviour_Gundam May 24th, 2008 12:28 AM

The odds of them making another Shadow Pokemon game are almost as great as the odds of 5 women bursting into my room right now admitting they all love me and want me to themselves and constantly attempt to spoil me for they're attention, completely oblivious to the idea that I would never choose one or the other for the sake of me finally admitting my life is good...

Besides, I'd gamble on Shadow Rayquaza or Shadow Giratina

Hadim Sinan Pasha May 24th, 2008 2:46 AM

A Collosseum like game would be awesome but another shadow game, not good. I'm guessing there will be as Pokemon XD has a secondary title. Gale of Darkness. It might be that like Diamond and Pearl, they were going to make another game in 2004/05 but with the then Revolution, now Wii being released and the DS being so close to all nations at the time there will be a game but they decided to make PBR to test it out. If you can import some legendaries which are unavailable in-game, then the purifying would be worth it. Perhaps introduce Darkrai, Celebi and others that weren't available or cleanseable in XD.

smcybercool June 9th, 2008 12:11 AM

i think it shud give more training time in the woods wid a good plot and some legendary poke to get XD

Nopie June 10th, 2008 7:36 AM

I agree with much of what has been said so far, I definitely would like to see more wild pokemon, filled plot holes, some routes instead of instantaneous transport, implementation of HM moves (no Rock Smash or Flash), the DP battle system, one-on one battles, and more.

I can see the next one having the Regi trio and Regigigas as Shadow pokemon, and seeing some Sinnoh pokemon in Shadow form would be pretty cool too. Imagine Shadow Garchomp!! That would be wicked.

I would like to see all of that as well. I wonder if they can make at least one shadow Pokemon shiny right after it gets out of its shadow form, but I doubt it


:t354:TG

Matt-O June 14th, 2008 11:25 AM

Maybe they would make it a Shiny Shadow. That would be kind of cool. Can you think of anything that would look more intimidating thana Shiny Shadow Rayquaza? I still think that what a Shadow Pkmn game would need is a better reason for shadow Pkmn.

Darkrai Lv X June 22nd, 2008 5:03 PM

It should have a Shadow darkrai...Hey,wait a second!

They should bring back mirror B.,I like his hair!

dtrain24 June 26th, 2008 8:18 AM

Y' know, I wonder what happened to all the old Cipher Admins in Colosseum, like Venus, Ein, and Dakim. I know Mirror B became independant, or something. Were they all like, fired?

Matt-O July 1st, 2008 2:48 PM

Am I the only one who finds Miror B irritating? His hair, Pkmn and music all annoy me.

balthamos July 1st, 2008 2:56 PM

They COULD make it based around Arceus, it controlling all the pokemon to evil? I have no idea.. It would be a great idea for a new wii game.. cause..yeah. PBR wasn't exactly the best thing going :/

...Yes. I do question how you can find such a unique fun character irrating, but, meh, each to his/her own. But I still question it. ;)

Arceus most likely will not have a game based around it - it is an event Pokemon, that isn't even obtainable in any way short of hacking. Similar to Deoxys and the such, I don't see him playing any role.

Arceus, according to one of the books you can read in Canalave City's library, is in a slumber, ever since creating the Pokemon world.
Thus, Arceus would need to be awoken.

Mephiles91 July 2nd, 2008 7:12 AM

I think It's safe to say what we're all looking for is a Console Pokemon game. Not Colloseum or Gale of Darkness or PBR, but a normal 3D pokemon game on a console instead of a handheld.

His annoying ass song (the one from XD) gets stuck in my head and for the rest of the day I'm humming that stupid tune. Also, not only does he constantly dance to his music during the battle, so do his Pkmn.
