I guess all we can do is wait and see what it turns out like

Ho-Oh August 1st, 2010 4:11 AM

I agree with those who miss the Hoenn contests, but idk, I liked putting accessories on my Pokemon in HG, so I may actually like this musical in the end. :)

The pokemon just spin around, dance and whatnot...I'd rather prefer contests and stuff, thank you. D:

I agree completely. As far as it seems Pokémon Musical is just 2/3 of what DPPt's Super Contests were. In my opinion, Black and White should have just kept the Super Contests and improved it with what Black and White's Pokémon Musicals have (i.e the improved clothing and dress-up style and the upgraded dance moves). Then it proceeds to the contests round with moves. :(

I still wish they never tried to make Contests better from Third Gen. It was best as it was then and was more enjoyable being scattered across the region. Only improvement I saw was mimicking the Anime's style in contests, but that doesn't seem like it'll happen anytime soon.

I just want contests. Pokeathalon was ... annoying and a pointless introduction, and this'll just be worse yet.

I disliked R/S/E contests. They were slow and frustrating. I thought pokemon contests from D/P/Pt were okay, but still were missing something. I liked Pokeathalon a lot, because it was very interactive. That's why I think Pokemon Musical will be fun, interactivity. I'm not sure if we'll be using the microphone to sing, but it seems like an expanded version of the dance portion from Pokemon. We've seen a thirty second clip of the feature, but I'm positive there's more to it than that. I feel you people need to relax. This is not HSM. It's just a little minigame in an attempt to attract girls to the game. I'm sure you don't have to participate in it.

Also, to whoever talked about HGSS features, those features are for those games. If every game had Pokeathlon and Follow me, why would anyone be interested in HGSS? Those are features put into a remake to give it more lasting appeal. Follow me was fun for that game. But most OW sprites are ugly and not everyone wants to walk with their pokemon 24/7/ I think in stead of relying on old tricks, pokemon is doing the right thing by trying new ideas. People complain about every Pokemon game being too similar. Reusing the same features only contributes to that.

Aro-kun August 1st, 2010 4:58 PM

I've been like Ash when it comes to contest. Rarely you would see me in a pokemon contest. But Pokeathalon, that's a different story! I want pokeathalon back T.T I guess i'll try this musical thing, but i'm not a fan of musicals...

Hopefully they'll make musicals available through wi-fi as well (Which they should have done for contests and pokeathalon...C'mon Game freak, Whats the matta whichus?). Would have been more to do.

Charizardomination August 4th, 2010 8:14 PM

This is stupid the pokemon are dancing like stupid idiots. Theyre just addiing this for the sake of saying everythings new so that people will buy the games. Its an awful idea and they need to expand on the the faults of the games not start adding crap no one wants.

orange discontent August 4th, 2010 8:42 PM

If the Pokemon break dance, I would so play Pokemon Musical.

I agree with this. The Pokeathalon was ok, Super Contests weren't even close to being super (IMO), and the 3rd generation contests were the best. I did those all the time, and I've collected all the Hoenn contest ribbons. :3

Patatas Fritas August 5th, 2010 2:32 AM

Ohh, this looks interesting.

I must admit, I would like the RSE Contests back, I enjoyed them, but the DPPt were good too!
It's sad they're getting rid of the Pokéathlon however... But, we don't know this for certain, do we, they could always have the Pokéathlon somewhere else? I doubt it though.

Good thing I love musicals! I can't wait to try this out!

Bay August 5th, 2010 8:42 AM

Pokebeach has some new footage of the Pokemon musical from Legendary Pokemon. There's some footage of the deer Pokemon first though, so you won't see the musical until around the 0:55 mark.



Have to say, it does look cute, though I'm still wondering a couple of things. I know for sure you'll dress up your Pokemon first. Wondering though if you'll be also making music somehow first or you'll be dancing while the music plays. I still think you might go make the music first, like choosing musical notes.

Valrog August 5th, 2010 8:46 AM

Oh nice. pokemon musical.. im guessing it'll be a mic one. or one of those hanah montana games.. where u click the notes and the pokemon will dance whenever u click the right one lol.

Guy August 6th, 2010 7:59 AM

The extra video clip on Pokémon Musicals was decent. It wasn't much more from what we already knew, but the music was nice. I just think this is going to be a new way to take better use of the touch screen. Contests handled the touch screen slightly, then the Pokéathlon took it to the next level. I think to compete with this, Pokémon Musicals will take the touch screen compatibility even further. Kind of hard to tell what's really going on with the player since all they show us is the music and dancing Pokémon and not what really goes on at the bottom screen for us. I'm warming up to the idea though, and I figure I'll give it a try at least.

Yeah, was thinking that too. It would be nice if we see what's going on at the bottom of the screen to get a better idea how to do the Pokemon Musical. Guess we'll know more info about the Pokemon Musical in this month's CoroCoro issue most likely.

Pancake86 August 6th, 2010 3:17 PM

MUSICAL!
Brings me back to when I used to do the school plays.
Now with POKEMON!
I'm going to have my Pokemon sing "The Last Midnight" from "Into the Woods" just for noglastic reasons...or maybe "If I were a Bell" from "Guys and Dolls" *shot*

But in all seriousness, I think it'll just be a side quest and/or a replacements for the contests. *shurg* Like someone else here on this topic that i'm too lazy to quote, it's just to get girly girls into the Pokemon franchise as well. Good luck with this Game-Freak. Please please PLEASE don't let us down.

But in all OTHER seriousness, please don't let us down with...oh I don't know...THE MAIN GAME ITSELF?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o

GlitchCity August 7th, 2010 6:33 AM

Frankly I dont really care about the musicals, just like I didnt care for sinnohs contests (the killed hoenns contests). I guess the musicals are for the younger players like my 9 year old sister. Its good that gamefreak are expanding their side minigame ideas.

mrunner4home August 7th, 2010 9:18 AM

some of you are complaining that the musical would be stupid, and to bring back the pokeathlon. personally, I agree. a musical thing would be weird. it looks like they're bringing something like the contests back, which were not very entertaining. because I want to believe that they'll bring the pokeathlon back:

maybe the musical is just one of the pokeathlon minigames...?

Bloothump August 9th, 2010 8:18 AM

New Details on Pokemon Musical:
If you do well, the audience may give you a gift of sorts
you can download music to use in pokemon musical. (I believe it is stated that you use High Link to do this? I don't remember. I think the SD card sounds more plausible. Anyway, can you imagine downloading something like, Candy Shop by 50 cent and watching your pokemon dance to that?)
It takes place in "The Music Hall"
All costumes and props are stored inside an item called The Goods Case.

Åzurε August 9th, 2010 9:30 AM

Props to the preview people for putting Tsutaja in a cane and top hat. Smugleaf is canon!

Also, songs are apparently downloadable off the Global Link. Reminds me of Rock Guitar Band Hero With A Turntable. Although, I doubt it will end up having such a selection.

JAK3 August 9th, 2010 9:44 AM

This is such a cool Idea, but to be honest, Gen 3 had the best Mini-Game of all. Just the plain and simple Pokemon Contest, nothing more.

Air Pichu August 9th, 2010 9:46 AM

I liked the Pokeathlon best. It was fun haha. I'll have to see how this will play out, but I hope this'll provide something cool.

Logiedan August 9th, 2010 12:19 PM

Pokéathlon was far better than this. I'll have to give this one a try though,by the looks of the video(s). There's not much to do,it looks sort of a rendition of the DPPt contests. Mostly the dressing up part anyway.

How can you say that Pokeathlon was better when you haven't even played Pokemon Musical yet? But I have to say, from what we've seen, the quality I'm guessing will be somewhere between Pokeathlon and RSE contests.

austy14 August 9th, 2010 10:54 PM

I like it cus it looks like the dancing is a little mmore interactive, like combo moves and stuff instead of pressing a direction. Though there could be more to it then cool costumes and dancing!

Niprop August 10th, 2010 12:18 AM

WTB Tyranitar, Nidoking, Rhyperior, and Aggron having a sing-off! Wit top hats, of course!
