Rumors of Pokémon RPG for Wii
 
There are rumors that there is going to be a full blown RPG for the Wii if so would it be cool and what would the features be.

Jack_Maddocks May 20th, 2008 2:12 AM

Are there any links to a site with the info?

Theres no such thing as a word-word rumor these days. Some unofficial website posts info yet to be confirmed. this is how the rumour is spread.

Tré May 20th, 2008 4:17 AM

yah yah your right..but rumors a romur maybe true or false...
anyways... i'm thinkin' of the game...hmmm..aha!!nah..i think it will be a bad idea..

Yeah, really, pokemon RPG's are meant to be on handhelds, after all, you can't take your wii to the beach (e.t.c), can you?
Although the capibility for wifi would be good...
BTW where did you hear this rumor?
or did you make it up 0_o

Kim Do-yeon May 20th, 2008 1:55 PM

It is all over the web since October 2007 just go to either Google or Yahoo and search "Pokémon RGG Wii Rumor" and enjoy.

D-puff May 20th, 2008 2:17 PM

i kinda hope they dont make one, really. Sure, it would be cool, but it wouldnt feel like a pokemon game. the point of pokemon games are so you can bring it on the go and battle/trade with friends that also own the game. It wouldnt have the same nostalgic feel you get from playing a pokemon game. I think they took that feel away enough trying to add minor 3d to d/p.

BakingBluePotatoe May 20th, 2008 6:06 PM

I rather liked the 2.5D feel of DP (after about 2 days)

but 3D... no. I don't think that would feel "right"

0lid0 May 20th, 2008 6:55 PM

man, that would suck worse than pokemon mystery dungeon!!!!! lol
seriously though, they should keep the rpg's limited to ds/gb/gba
they would try and make it look 3d and it would ruin the feel of pokemon :)

...Riiigghht. So, what does that make Colosseum and XD then, hm? For they were RPG's in every sense of the word, and aren't counted a spin-offs either.
And HOW the heck would 3D Pokemon ruin the 'feel' of it? Please explain. Heck, I've heard more often then not about others expressing their wish for such a thing, and for 3d sprites on the handhelds...

Secondly - rumours? Not much point discussing the such unless a relevant sort or evidence shows the chances of it happening. I can tell the story of the RPG coming out tomorrow which I heard from a friend who heard it form his best friends' enemy's freiend's uncle's dog, and it's a rumour.

My two cents - there probably would be an RPG for the Wii, as there were two for the Gamecube. Probably the same company will be making those (also the same one which made PBR) - they've been keeping quiet and already have all the moves to use (and reused some music as well, remixed from Colo and XD), and seem to have been handed the responibilitys of Pokemon games on these sort of consoles. Besides, it'd make them money. Heck, maybe it'll be another Shadow Poke game (and if so, Miror B better be there...).

wakachamo May 23rd, 2008 11:37 AM

Not gonna happen for quite a while in my opinion. Battle Revolution has yet to completely quench the thirst of 3D-hungry battlers.

Circuit May 23rd, 2008 12:56 PM

Nah. That would not be a very good idea because it is only really meant for DS/GB/GBA, Wiith the exception of XD and Colloseum.

Saviour_Gundam May 24th, 2008 12:07 AM

Assuming they DO make a MMORPG of Pokemon on Wii-ware (Where I was under the impression it would be made for it, which would make sense, if you don't have WiFi you can't download the game thus your not stuck paying 20-30 for a game you can't play).
Here are some early theories:
- Based on your console's registered location, or wherever the internet has you registered, depends on where in the world of the game (Kanto/Jhoto/Hoenn/Sinnoh I can't say they'll be in it, but I can't say they will either) And depends on your starter Pokemon.
- I PRAY that the Pokemon you raise on the game can be transfered to your DS and back, which would be one way of obtaining Celebi, ALSO a good way to distribute Azure Flutes (I can dream).
- They would most likely make it PBR graphics when you battle.

This is all I can think of at the moment

DavyJones4our May 24th, 2008 12:22 AM

I would really like a Pokemon MMORPG but we all know Nintendo won't go for it, they're far too over-protective.

Cid May 24th, 2008 12:24 AM

This sounds nice, though I'm not sure that it would be a true-Pokemon RPG, since true-Pokemon RPGs are usually in handhelds and not on consoles.
Sounds interesting, though.

Saviour_Gundam May 24th, 2008 12:25 AM

Well if you read Yahtzee's (Zero Punctuation) reviews regarding Nintendo Games you'll remember he refers to Nintendo as "yanking on old franchises" if they think it'll lead to $$$$ they'll do it, same goes for Sony and Microsoft

Hadim Sinan Pasha May 24th, 2008 2:42 AM

Yes would be awesome but unlikely. If they made a game like XD and Collosseum which had a storyline as well as battling it would be cool. PBR was good for Electivire and Magmortar but otherwise it wasn't that great. A full blown RPG is unlikely but maybe a game with a storyline and MINI-GAMES.

Hypntick May 24th, 2008 12:22 PM

There are so many possibilities that would be interesting. Personally I think a "class" system would be neat, could be a trainer, ranger, breeder, professor etc. Would open up a lot of ways to play other than the standard "catch, get badges, beat elite 4, repeat" kinda thing

Abra_kadabra June 5th, 2008 1:42 PM

humm.. i'm not too sure it's true or a good idea... it would take forever to make...

eeveechan June 5th, 2008 2:54 PM

it would be realy cool if the did make one!!!!!!

xiraiya June 5th, 2008 7:19 PM

If any Pokemon RPG is going to be on Wii then it needs to be in a similar play style to the handheld games, that and it would have to be an MMORPG with access to all regions, otherwise it just wouldn't be worth it.

Simmian7 July 3rd, 2008 1:31 PM

if they do make it... being that it's on a Wii... you should have the option to choose from the 6 pokemon you travel with...and then get the chance to throw the pokeball...!!! like in the show...

mercuryenigma July 3rd, 2008 2:49 PM

A MMORPG would be amazing! Probably never happen though...if it did, All Pokemon fans would be in game heaven! The idea about different classes would be good. But I believe that they will make another game like Colosseum or Gale of Darkness. I liked the Orre Region, best games ever IMO. I hope they make another but with better shadow special moves (old ones were like helping hand, charm, etc.)

Yea same =/ that would be amazing. But on topic I think an RPG for the Wii might be a bad idea... especially if you had to control the player with a wii mote

AdvanceMapper July 3rd, 2008 5:22 PM

Also, I have found a site where Team Poision may have found it at.

www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&nesid=22029

t3hjolteon July 3rd, 2008 9:45 PM

If they make a pokemon RPG for the Wii, they need to speed up the battling system. Seriously, it takes about a minute just to watch pokemon use their moves. And with double battles, that was extremely annoying. I liked the plot of Colosseum and XD, but the games moved way too slowly. Anyway, until news about this gets posted on Bulbapedia, Serebii, or another reputable news site, this won't receive credence from me.

Lycoris July 3rd, 2008 10:33 PM

This is my dream game. I play it through my head like every week.

It would have the graphics of battle rev. With the general mechanics of xd and colo.

You would start in your home town and go to meet the professor. You can see everything in front and side of you. When you see a sparkle in the grass you walk over and pick it up for an item. You can see the Pokemon running around, and you run up to them for a battle. Instead of a huge circle it would just be in that spot but is still turn based. Argh, this would entertain me for hours.

SmashGood July 5th, 2008 1:38 AM

I did find XD fun, more I think for the characters they had come up with. I have no idea if I would want the RPG of a Wii version though. An MMORPG would be hot, where you could interact throughout your game with other players if you are connected.

Lycoris July 5th, 2008 6:31 PM

But with an mmorpg you have immature little kids everywhere with l33t pokemons, and majority of the people playing it are going to be Asian, mostly Japanese, which means there prob won't be that much conversation as a lot of Japanese people do not know English. And there's a lot of kids in Europe as well that do not speak English but like pokemon. It's not a prob with most mmos but when it's Pokemon, one of the best selling games in the world..

Also, there would be massive lag, even if you had 10 servers, it would be a big playground mess.

Ripper July 6th, 2008 2:22 AM

I can't see them doing it.

They could've made DP fully 3D (sort of) like Ranger but they chose to keep it similar to the past games. There is a reason for this.

liam.sherif July 6th, 2008 6:07 AM

I think if they made an rpg for the wii they need to sort out the pace of everything if the battles are going to be like battle revo.
For example, whenever you send out a pokemon or the pokemon does a move they do a silly dance/movement which seems to take an age compared to the handheld games.
If a battle happened exactly the same on the handheld as it did on the wii it would take a fraction of the time. Thats the main concern for me.
Also I wish you could choose a fixed camera angle; like if you had a few to choose from, one being the same view as on the hand held games.

eleven_1 July 6th, 2008 2:17 PM

Lets hope this "rumor" comes to be, because I've been waiting for something like this for years.

One thing that I think would spruce up the game (this may seem stupid to some of you) but when you send out a Pokemon to battle, it would turn into a Super Smash Bros type of scenario with you taking full control of your Pokemon. I just think battle's would be more interesting that way.

SS7292 July 8th, 2008 9:00 AM

i think the idea would be pretty sweet. it can be like colosseum and xd only with tall grass or caves for wild pkmn. wut id really like to see tho is a pokemon game where you can actually control the pokemon, not just a turn based game.

Marshmallow July 11th, 2008 1:05 PM

woah. Hope it's true. :rambo:

Rogue Shadow July 11th, 2008 2:48 PM

i hope its true too. They reallly need a good one.

DialgaDiamond July 11th, 2008 5:42 PM

That's INSANE! Team Poison, did you see the rumour on the internet?

gaz-is-the-best July 13th, 2008 4:03 AM

Sounds like quite alot of fun. I enjoyed XD and colosseum so this could be really good if they don't screw it up (im looking at you battle revolution)

Spenny July 13th, 2008 7:04 PM

That would be the dirty dank.

fluffy July 14th, 2008 5:34 AM

ya i think it would b good if nintendo extended the life of pokemon into wii cuz u cant have like 20 games of pokemon only on ds and i dont think theyd go bak and i dont think theyd make anotha handheld i hope they make it in like '10

jmacz008 July 17th, 2008 8:17 PM

I havn't even started and I alrady know this is going to be long.

First of all...this wouldnt ruin the feel of Pokemon, they would still have the gameboy games, they wouldnt go exticnt, its justa variety on the game.

I have played pokemon since the day blue/red came out, and ever since those days back when I was 10 I have always dreamed of a game like this. When I was probably 10 or 11 when Pokemon Stadium came out. When I heard about it me and all my friends thought it was going to be a 3D game...I was very disapointed. I personally think it would be great for nintendo, they need something new on the block besides the same old Mario and Zelda (as great as they are) if they really wanna stick it to Sony and Microsoft. Just imagine....

You create your own trainer, clothes, color of skin, age, gender, all the good stuff in character creators. You get a Rival, you can create and name him or just take a random one. Then you start off in some town in Kanto, and instead of choosing one of the three normal starters, you pick any (non-legend, and not too powerull) pokemon out of the original 151. I say this because in the show everyone starts with something different not everyone has a bulbasaur, charmander, squirtle. But if you want them you can. Your rival also gets some random Pokemon. Then you set off on your journey. Pokemon are seen running around and you can either go up and battle them, or some will be aggrisive enough to attack you. Any Pokemon can be caught just about anywhere. Even pokemon that could not be caught in the wild in previous games like the 3 starters. Battling should not be turn based and like someone else said like super smash bros, were you have full controll over your pokemon and they can learn MORE THEN FOUR MOVES! Really how many moves does pikachu use...thunderbolt, thunder, agility, volt tackle, quick attack, Iron tail. Once you win all 8 kanto bages, you go to the Pokemon league and do that tournament to see how you do.

After every succesfull region complete (and sometimes in the middle) you get your chances at ledgend pokemon. But once you catch them they can only be used in say out of gym battles and online play...it will make the game alot harder.

When your all done with everything in Kanto, you go to Johto, and have the choice to keep the party you have now, or scrap everyone but your original startet and catch this regions pokemon. If you dont scrap them the Gym leaders and trainer's you face will have higher level pokemon.

This trend continues untill you collect all of the 32 available badges and thus beat the game. This game might be a little for one game disk to handle, so we might have to go final fantasy on us and make it a 3 disk thing. I would personally pay more then 50$ if a game like this came out.

Ohh and sorry for the length :embarrass

darkshiek July 18th, 2008 8:41 AM

I think that if they make an RPG for Wii, then it should be an MMO, sorta like WoW (World of Warcraft). You start out, and get abilites, which would be your pokemon, or they could be the equivalent of a Pet in WoW. Which would mean, you have one trainer action bar, then on above it, is a seperate bar that has all the moves your pokemon knows.

Neko July 18th, 2008 9:23 AM

If there were to be a Pokemon rpg game for the Wii it shouldn't be turn-based like jmacz008 had mentioned before. It'd be sooo boring and take so long to finish a battle. God look at Pokmon Colesseum as an example! The battles....so...BORING! Ack *death*

See, I think the perfect fighting style, imo, would be either something along the lines of FFXII (I haven't played that game for a while, but I think I've played it long enough to know what the fighting styles are) or maybe something like Brawl where you walk around and each button is a different move, etc.

Roy G. Biv July 18th, 2008 10:32 AM

Well, they certainly didn't announce it at E3!

Then again they didn't announce anything worthwhile at E3...

Dukey July 18th, 2008 3:01 PM

it shouldn't be turn based I agree, but when u use attacks it is faster and alot stronger than usual, so the battles are way shorter, oh and u can run from battles still

bobandbill July 18th, 2008 5:22 PM

*cough Pikmin 3 anyone?* ;) But besides that, not much else... a Pokemon spin-off sequel, and AC. Nintendo aren't going to give out info on EVERY game they release, and also would try to reap out max sales from each game by spacing out their release, same for Pokemon. Now it's Platinumj, and soon Poke Ranger as a spinoff game. Then later on something else big.

Well, a non-turn based version of Pokemon would be interesting, and have potential, but how feasible is it? Brawl, admittedly has a million and one things here and there, but not much space left at all. And how many fighters are there?

And Pokemon has close to 500. All the moves as well. Hmm. I'm not sure of the limitations and all, but to me it doesn't seem promising in terms of memory. And people ain't going to want 2-D sprtes for Pokemon for such a game.

Anti-Pokemon Colosseum examples are frowned on by me. ;) But admitedly, yes, battles in Colosseum did take time. But aren't they now faster in PBR? And I'm sure they could cut it done even further... or maybe have the same thing in the handheld games in that you can switch off the animations? Hmm...

And honestly, I don't know if they would want to go and change Pokemon's turn-based history, that has been used in all major game - other ideas saved for spin-offs. It's made them a lot of money thus far, and all they've done is rinse and repeat a formula. Don't see them changing that, but whole knows. But IMO if there is another RPG for the Wii, (which I think likely), then Genius Sorinity, makers of Colosseum, XD and PBR, would be the more than likely candidates to make the next game. Maybe they are already working on it now?

Pogiforce-14 July 18th, 2008 6:42 PM

I'm expecting it to be Either the Ore region, or another region very similar. the console RPGs were both Based in Ore, so I could see the new Wii game being either in Ore, or connected to it.

Everyone wants a pokemon game that lets you visit every region, pick where you start, how you look, etcetera, but the plausibility of it is low. a game like that would take a lot of work and several years to make.

Crotina July 20th, 2008 11:20 AM

that'd be AWESOME!

Guitar God in Training July 20th, 2008 11:25 AM

There's no RPG being developed at the moment as far as anyone knows. Nintendo usually hints at things like this. for example, Nintendo have already revealed that they are making a new Mario game for Wii and two new Zelda games for Wii and DS.

I hope they do make a full RPG in 3D, it really bugged me that XD only had 9 wild pokemon.
It would be awesome if they made a full RPG including gyms, a league and a battle frontier, but also included references to shadow pokemon in the plot.

I just hope we never have to capture shadow pokemon again. They annoy the hell out of me, every attack is super effective and you have to spend ages purifying them to even use them. Then you realise they have a terrible nature. Like my adamant Spheal and jolly Lugia.

It wouldn't be that difficult, they already have the coding for the main gameplay mechanics from all the other Pokemon games and the code to change your appearance from Battle Revolution. They could modify the engine that Colosseum and XD used with the battle engine frm Battle Revolution.

We will probably never get a game with every region though, just one or maybe two if we're lucky. We will at least never get a fully 3D game with multiple regions as it would take up too much space on the disc.

Maybe Nintendo should consider making a 2D pokemon RPG for the wii and use the extra disc space to put all the existing regions in the game, and add new ones too.

Nishrocks July 21st, 2008 10:43 AM

Hopefully, it'll be in the vein of XD, but without Shadow Pokemon. The theme and idea was good, as well as the implementation. The Shadow Pokemon won't really fit in a full-blown RPG, they're wearing thin...

Kovu July 21st, 2008 11:23 AM

This does seem like a good idea. Hopefully they go through with it.

MudMast July 21st, 2008 1:22 PM

oh, i hope that it is a pokemon ranger game, to use full advantage of the Wiimote, or even the Wiichuck.

as, you can make rings as large as you're arms will make then :D

ryushin5 July 21st, 2008 2:31 PM

i think i found some links to the rumor

L is Real 2041 July 21st, 2008 6:12 PM

I don't think that a Pokemon RPG is that great of an idea. Kinda lame. :/

bobandbill July 21st, 2008 11:22 PM

Two of those links seem to be the same...

Besides- doesn't seem to have anything clear-cut just yet - more like 'it *may* happen, but we ain't really denying or confirming anything', like what they said for a GS remake. Just more of the same stuff. And this thread started befor E3, where these rumours came from. (and a lot more rumours came from E3 as well).
Unless for the last link where there's another one within showing the interview... unfortunatle it is in another language. Doh.

I wouldn't make anything of them yet, until a MAJOR source, like Coro Coro magazine or Serebii.net say anything. Or Nintendo does first. I don't think it would happen anytime soon though - for now they would be trying to garner as many sales from Platinum.

Alex_Of_Sadrea July 22nd, 2008 7:19 AM

If they made one for the Wii, I think that'd be awesome. Like, I have Diamond and I have the Wii's Pokemon Battle Revolution, but it's not really the same as a full-blown RPG on something other than a handheld system.

What did you guys think? 'Cause I can't really see what's wrong with it... The controls are basically the same. And imagine the graphics? The pixel-art is adorable, but if they could make actual 3D graphics for the settings and battles, I would be in awe.

wait. wouldn't Pokemon already be 3.5D. There are 5 dimensions. I'll list them all.
1. Length
2. Width
3. Depth
4. Time
5. Life-After-Death (for those who believe in it).

Pokemon covers Length, Width, Time and a bit of Depth.

Anyways, back-on-topic. RPG's have already been made on GC but to make a full blown out one would be awesome. Get rid of the mission's and colloseums and put proper Gyms and an E4 system with all pokemon and stuff. Wouldn't be bad but meh, a bit too early for one. It isn't really that necessary at the moment.

ShadowFalls July 25th, 2008 1:14 AM

I have been waiting for them to get on top of making something like this. Not saying it would be easy, but it seems like something that could be done and done well. A step up from what it is would be pretty impressive to say the least.

Would be great honestly if they came out with MMORPG involving Pokemon. The possibilities are endless, and it would provide a much more interesting experience when you can travel the Pokemon world and be battling with actual people you come across. Your character could go around being a trainer, perhaps a breeder, or do the contests, or a combination.

Kung Fu Quagsire! July 25th, 2008 6:08 PM

It would be a cool idea, but I doubt it'll happen. It just wouldn't... feel right. It might work, but I doubt that these rumors are true.

damion July 26th, 2008 12:05 PM

you know there will be a new wii version out but everyone wants a rgp which is a bad idea
the home versions are used for the big screen battles

yes GC had two rgp types but they were short (to me anyway)

i used the two games for the arenas

B/r/y = stadium I

g/s/c = Stadium II

R/s = Colloseeum

E/LG/Fr = XD

D/P = PBr

you get the point

Why is an RPG a bad idea? Because... the previous two were too short? Why does that mean another one would also be too short?
And past correlations (which I'm not sure on how close together these games were released with each other) don't stand for too much anyway. Same reason why FR/LG doesn't necessarily mean that there will be a GS remake.
And as Platinum is coming out, there's always the possibility that, going by your list, a game could be made after it anyway.

Stronkadonk July 26th, 2008 4:59 PM

I doubt it, but I can see some sort of ranger variant for the wii...

You know, with the way the Wii control operates, that really is not an insane idea at all.

Pkmn Trainer Kona-chan July 28th, 2008 11:21 AM

This is probably going to sound a bit corny, but how cool would it be to use your Wiimote to throw a PokeBall? :P

Zodiax July 29th, 2008 3:40 AM

So did the rumors say wen it is going to be released? i wana know.

Luck July 30th, 2008 7:18 PM

Meh, i never got around to using the wii for pokemon.
its probably a bad idea because it would be pretty hard to control your character with the wiimote unless you use it sideways like in S.S.B.B.
its not that great of an idea, but hey. at least its another pokemon game.
as long as its not a remake on the wii,i would probably buy it(as the huge pokemon fan i am).
I just pray they don't make it like PBR again, because the shadow series was great.

Freddie24 August 3rd, 2008 5:26 PM

when you say full blown rpg do you mean like one of the handheld games except on the wii? becuase that would be amazing, they could have 3d graphics and it would be awesome. that's why coluseum was stupid, because it was just battling mostly. I don't know it's been a long time since i played it. but they need to make one that's just like a real pokemon game except on the wii. o, and it would be totally awesome if you used the wiimote to throw a pokeball even if that was teh only motion in the entire game.

Zennerick August 4th, 2008 5:48 PM

More areas than you think!

Everyone wants a pokemon game that lets you visit every region, pick where you start, how you look, etcetera, but the plausibility of it is low. a game like that would take a lot of work and several years to make.

Actually, since all the areas of the Pokemon RPG games are based on
real areas in Japan there are quite a few places left to base newer Pokemon regions on according to this picture:

Japan consists of:
  • Large islands- 4 (Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku) These are also the four main islands in Japan.
  • Small islands- There are over 3,000 smaller islands that make up Japan*.
*The picture above does not contain all 3,000+ smaller islands of Japan.

Funnily enough, Orre is the execption, in fact. (Unless you don't count Colosseum and XD as RPGs which would be wrong, or only meant the handheld games).

Orre is based on the state of Arizona in the US. Look it up on Wikipedia or better Bulbapedia which shows pretty well what is based on what regarding Orre and all, is an interesting tidbit. :)

xLIVENUDESx August 5th, 2008 5:27 AM

What would it even be like?

Would it be a 3-D version of Red/Blue?

Ohhh.. Didn't know that. Interesting... I'll look it up.

Edit: I pretty sure it's not based on Arizona, It's most likely refering to an area much-like Orre with lots of minerals; such of an example would be Arizona.

Quote:

In addition, the region and towns are named after minerals, and Arizona is known for its mining industry.
They are probably saying that the minerals in Orre were named after minerals in Arizona.

Pointless thread. Just another n00b starting a stupid rumor with nothing except one sentence.

Emerald Yoshi August 5th, 2008 9:23 PM

Maybe some new Pokemon, customize your trainer, and visit all regions ^_^

Flash11 August 7th, 2008 7:09 PM

I don't think there will be one, but if there were it'd be cool if it was like Colosseum, but without the shadow pokemon

A Poke Ball shaped Wii "remote" would be cool. Another fishing mini-game would not be cool. Unless done differently. Cel shaded graphics would be appropriate, given the anime art style. As for city size, I pray that they remain smallish. GTA sized city environments would be terrible. I also think it would be awesome if there was one of those "trip skip" features for HM Fly. Also, actually being able to control the field move FLY would be an awesome "extra" feature. As would be hobbies/jobs like the occasional photo shoot. And maybe opposing in-game trainers could actually wield a "shiny" Pokemon against (us) players for a change, versus the foreshadowed references.

Shiny_Latios August 8th, 2008 3:59 AM

This has been one thing I have always wanted to see, a fully fledged 3D Pokemon RPG, yes Colosseum and XD were RPG's but it was just catch certain Pokemon and make them good and win the game, however a 3D version of Red or Blue (any game i am just using these as an example) in my eyes would be great. The problem with the handheld versions is that you feel detached, I love immersing myself into a game and be stuck to it for hours on end wanting more of the story to unfold. A 3D pokemon game would do that for me, I am currently having flashbacks of Pokemon Snap where you look around the 3D world and everything is just breathtaking, theres a tall building in the handhelds and it may be tall but in 3D you will feel the scale, running around a proper city, where battles will happen, how about entering a worse off area of the city and having to battle the residents who having nothing else to do.

Anyway if this was even happening I don't think that a Pokeball controller would be that good, but the obvious whipping of the normal wii controller would be nice. Also a bit of interaction with the battles, e.g You select fury swipes, then if and when your Pokemon uses that move the screen will have a little icon pop up to indicate you do the swipes and the pokemon will do them in the same place. Finally something that is taken from FF XI/XII but a ADB system if I remember rightly, where you walk around a route and just see a wild Rattata, you chase it and halfway through throwing whip your controller to send out your first pokemon, you could hold the B button just before to select another or something, then whilst still chasing select and attack on the Rattata.

Makes me want it to happen now I have thought about it :P

Heart's Soul August 8th, 2008 5:54 PM

I asked Nintendo about that- no answer...

KaiserSteel August 11th, 2008 4:40 AM

Not sure if anyone had posted this idea up yet:

A Pokemon RPG for DS with an included Wii Disk 'emulator' like software so you can connect your game up to your Wii anytime and instead of walking in a pixelated world, be able to view and fight in 3D. The DS game is a stand alone (so you can still carry it anywhere), with the Wii 'emulator' an optional 3D expansion when at home.

Or something like that...

Leon K. Fox August 11th, 2008 6:51 AM

Am I one of the few that's excited about this possibility? There's so much more they could do on the Wii than there is on the DS, and not to mention it's a great oppurtunity to experiment with some new ideas without messing around with the main series on the handhelds

ryushin5 August 16th, 2008 5:24 AM

Rich Boy Rob August 16th, 2008 10:53 AM

Yeah i translated it when you posted the first one, SEE all you who dare doubt another Pokemon wii game! But anyway back to sanity, this (if it is a fully fledged RPG) has bucketloads of potential.

...what I got was '404: Not Found Sorry, but the content you're looking for is not present in this server.' Doh.

And again - this wouldn't confirm anything. Such information if true would be already on the 'main' sources, like Serebii or Coro Coro magazine. I'm gathering the interview involved soemthing along of the lines of 'we'd like to make one', but not that they would make one. Maybe they'll start out, but then scarp the project? Such things have happened before. And right now they are focusing on Platinum, not a Wii RPG. Not that it couldn't happen - I personally think it would - but there is still no proper evidence to say that it will. Rumours are rumours, and although I feel that there will be a Wii RPG, it ain't confirmed until one of the big sources say so.

I doubt Nintendo would use emulators, or try to make a 3D RPG for the DS IMO... memory issues for one, secondly doesn't sound like something Nintendo would do? I don't know though, just my opinion.

ryushin5 August 16th, 2008 6:20 PM

no the interview was talking about pokemon games like diamond and pearl and pokemon battle revolution and the developer said that there in the makes of making a pokemon rpg for the wii
here is the page from the website i just copied it here look

bobandbill August 16th, 2008 7:16 PM

That's better. :)

Now that I can see it - I still say it proves nothing. It suggests that a new game for the Wii is being made... (although going by translation, maybe they are not saying if they would or not? meh). But... it doesn't say it would be an RPG either. A Pokemon Snap remake? Channel seqeul? Something different? Who knows, but it ain't saying if it will happen or not. (Although I do think it will... eventually).

It also says something along the lines of there being no RPG on a Nintendo home console. Hmm... what are Colosseum and XD then, or the Gamecube? 'Cause, might be translation... :/

It seems old as well - suggest PBR wasn't out at time of writing.

Again, think what you will, but I suggest ignoring this rumour. Heck, shortly after Brawl, people were jumping up and down because Sakurai said he was either making a new Brawl game, or would make an updated version. Shortly after it was discovered that the comments were out of context - Sakurai said that if the opportunity came up again, he would like to... not the same thing.

austin00081 August 16th, 2008 7:18 PM

Honestly, I do believe there will be a Wii RPG. When? no one knows. PBR was obviously a trial to test the game play and possibilities for Pokemon on the Wii. I even have thoughts that D/P were beta versions for what's to come on the DS, because the new Platinum is clearly more advanced and has massive improvements than D/P.

All we should expect from Nintendo, is a huge improvement in Pokemon games, for all gaming platforms. And MANY more games to come. Just be patient and see what's next.

If its from 2007, I would think its talking about pokemon ranch

Name August 16th, 2008 10:24 PM

well, if i remember correctly, nintendo said they were going to get all that they could out of the wii and the ds... but i've already heard of a new portable system to come.

anyway, if nintendo wants to squeeze all that they can out of the wii, then if we the fans demand it enough, i would not be suprised to see a whole slew of new pokemon games to come...

so just stay persistant and let that nintendo know that we want more pokemon!

Aiedail September 1st, 2008 6:17 PM

They should make a 3D version of the first generation on the wii. That would be awesome.

You're right. We got Battle Revolution earlier, but it had no story mode, like Colloseum, but Nintendo could make a game with just the story mode, without the normal battling. It could have the GTS as well.

Hmm, I wouldn't pay more than £2 extra for the emulator. Seems a bit pointless, unless you could get more items on it, or maybe teach them different moves. Still, I'd rather have a proper RPG, but maybe your idea could work, maybe if you could transfer Pokemon over from your DS after beating its version of the Elite 4.

Penumbra September 6th, 2008 2:06 PM

Blah Blah Blah. On the first page all I read about was "it wouldn't have the same feel". the "same feel" is different to everyone. If a person first started on colosseum and then played the handhelds later on, which do you think would be the "same feel" for them, hmm? That's what I thought.

No, the point of pokemon isn't for it to be handheld so you could bring it to the beach (:cheeky:).
It's a large possibility seeing as the previous title was
"Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness" Notice the "XD:" With the colon? as in, Gale of Darkness was one of the many games on the list of pokemon RPGs that fall under "XD"?

They probably would make one soon seeing as there's no game that lets you trade between Wii and DS (Pokemon Ranch + PBR is transfering, not trading), and also since there's really no other way to get Majority of Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn pokemon into your Diamond/Pearl unless you have a GBA Game.. It's probably going to be released after Platinum, though seeing as there's absolutely no point of creating a full fledged Pokemon RPG that only links to two of the three games, and the third very close to it's release date..

Let's keep our hopes up for a pokemon RPG on the Wii! Yes, it most likely will have to include shadow pokemon if it's going to be dubbed under "XD", or in the bigger picture, Orre..

iRawr-x September 6th, 2008 3:31 PM

Well, If there was going to be an RPG Pokemon for Wii, I'd have a few ideas for nintendo.

- Create like this strap thing to go around your hand or leg or both, And use to as your like the person on the Wii,
Like If you walk then in the game, The person walks too. (This doesn't include when you pick your nose or something it does it) This can be also used to catch Pokemon, Lets add a bit of fun nintendo

- Make it Wi-Fi and connect with your friends and walk around with them.

- Create your own 3-D town and share it with your friends.

- Make like a microphone thing that goes around your head and sticks out onto your mouth, and use it as commands, Such as "Use Tackle" or "Come back, Eevee" and maybe they can use it like voice chat when you go Wi-Fi with your friends, Also there is a button there, You press it and hold and then say whatever your going to say. So your friends doesn't hear everything you say, (Don't want your friends to hear your personal stuff) xD

- Make it really 3-D like Animal Crossing but better graphics.

- Make Shadow Pokemon, Gold Pokemon, Silver Pokemon, and Shiny.

- Able to travel different regions by a ship (Some PokeMoney needed)

- Able to play great games with friends, Such as PokeChess with the pawns as Pokemon and the others.
Play Safari Zone with friends? Poffin Baking? Contest with friends? Underground Digging? PokeGym (Where your Pokemon fight with other Pokemon but in a street fighter style)?

- Able to pick different goals: Become one of the elite 4
Become the PokeMaster
Catch all Legendaries
OR More?

- Able to catch all Pokemon as you travel from region to region

- Able to have the CellPhone as you got in Pokemon G/S/C

- Get to pick your trainer or use your Mii


I've got too much ideas on my mind. >.<

I'll share some later. My hand and brain is quite tired, >.<
We want something new not the old Pokemon games.

No we don't, thats what the spin offs are for

Argent Crusader September 29th, 2008 6:28 AM

Humm... For me it does sound interesting.
Lately I was playing Colosseum, although I just reached Phenac City for the moment.
My thought is that it will be a "XD" series game. The adventure may be set on a orre-similar region, and catch shadow Pokémon, and bla, bla, bla. That's pretty good, I got a different feel when I play Colosseum, it's very different than the Handheld counterparts. But, this is just the most likely case, not the most enjoyable.
I always thinked that a franchise that would fit PERFECTLY on the Wii is Pokémon Ranger. Just think about it. Wii Mote is exactly like the capture styler is shown on the anime (although the name obviously comes from "Stylus"), and knowing Nintendo they would sell a special styler-like wii mote.
But, as some of you don't like the Ranger series, that could be just an option. So far two playable "jobs" were present on the Pokémon franchise: Pokémon Trainers, and Pokémon Rangers.
Maybe they mix them on a RPG, like it was menctioned before.
That's my opinion, what do you think?

MudMast September 29th, 2008 9:11 AM

but we know, that if it is real, there will most likely be able to use your Mii.

Lith September 29th, 2008 1:41 PM

~Ohh, i hope you can use your Mii (If Its real)~
~I would look so out of the whole "Pokemon" theam~
