What proof do you have that they are not finished games?

Mana Ibe said that they were finished. They obviously wouldn't have been released if they weren't finished.

The 100 Mega Shock August 30th, 2011 12:33 PM

The storyline grinds to a shuddering halt as soon as the credits roll. Here's Looker to round up the Seven Sages in a game of hide-and-seek, and here's to Ghetsis escaping off-screen and the Shadow Triad ****ing off with no resolution to your conflict!

Keledo, Meloetta and Genesect have really short bonus events that happen if they're already in your party - there's no events that actually involve encountering them or anything they do (it's impossible to encounter them in any way other than a give-away, they don't have event items or event locations). Kyurem is sitting around chilling and maybe eating somebody at night but you never actually see him do anything.

The Pokémon Musical is very, very bare-bones, the Battle Subway is missing most of the Frontier's features, they brought back the Diving mechanic for a single small area that just holds hidden items, and generally everything that you encounter post-Elite 4 is lacking. It's even indicative of re-used content, in a way - Looker appears from nowhere, you get a post-game boss in Cynthia (her sprite is an edited Platinum sprite, while her theme music was barely changed at all) and the Diving function was recycled out of nowhere.

Of course they would release an unfinished game - if they reach the project's proposed deadline (September, the same date that every Pokémon game since Emerald came out) and the majority of the game is in a playable state, and the storyline makes most sense, they are not going to keep working on it to polish off the aforementioned rough bits when they have a publisher waiting to send games to store shelves. Unfortunately, it's an all too common story of managing projects in the games industry, and essentially it's what all software development boils down to - do as much as you can with the time and resources you were given to do it, and don't expect to get extensions unless you've messed something up really badly.

They simply shelve the more complicated things they didn't have time to implement into the game (Something like the Following Pokémon from HG/SS that didn't make the cut, for example), tie up the loose ends in things they originally envisioned to be grander, and leave stuff lying around that's indicative of later plans (Like unused legendary Pokémon)

There's evidence of unfinished content in almost every video game that's ever been made. Pokémon is one of those in a unique position that they can go back and finish that content before selling it off two years later. There's also been a lot of discussion about Ibe's comment when it was said. The most important thing to realise is that these guys have no qualms about lying to us - what idiot would tell people that they're going to make another, better game when they haven't even finished selling the first games yet? (In defence of a sound business decision that's basically the least damaging way to respond to that question)

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 31st, 2011 4:54 AM

The looker part did seem to cut off oddly...what did the sages tell him and where are N and Ghetsis? Unless they plan to save these for another gen, they should be answered in a third edition.
I find it strange that non of the event mon other than Victini had a in game event...first time since Mew I think that has happened.
As for a battle frontier, we will have a battle factory like place...
Hope they make a battle pyramid like facility along with the battle dome those were some of my favorite facilities out of the 10 introduced so far. I've got no new ideas for new one's at the moment but I'm sure GF will think of some :j

Bluerang1 September 1st, 2011 2:28 PM

Yeah, BW are the most obvious "there will be a third game" of the Pokemon series so far. Lenora definitely needs more Normal Pokemon, I was sure she'd get Cincinno. Not sure what they can do about the Triplet's Pokemon.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 1st, 2011 4:24 PM

The triplets will proably get the Kanto eeveelutions in the rematchs. Also if it is a triple battle they will lose their lilipup's...thank goodness if so cause I hated theirs.

tsukuyomi13 September 1st, 2011 11:45 PM

I think it Could be Gray, but i do like the idea of Chrome...
Kyurem is the mascot, I think he could have a second form since he looks incomplete to me, like the Tail. Though that could be credited to one speculation about Kyurem being the Corpse of the Original Dragon, I like to see it Restored to Power again as well but that's just wishful thinking. And Bulbapedia Mentioned that its right side looked damaged. Wing and horn is shorter, and on the right side of its head (visible in the Dream World Art) also has a spiked edge near its jaw hinge that is absent from its left. and it is hunched over which comparing to the other two looks a bit off. and he has 20 less base stat and lack of the lvl 100 special move which we might see in the next game.

Another thing is that After the Twin heros, there sons resumed the fighting tearing across Unova till they disappeared, maybe Kyurem's Landing to earth from a meteor (which could of Damaged it) Could of caused the fighting to stop. Maybe Ghetsis would try and revive the other Dragon to combat his son and Kyurem comes to quell the fighting and the MC has to catch it to dunno help it (he is injured)

A little more the the corse theory is that Splitting from something takes a lot if energy and force of energies shot the corpse into space, collides with a comet, lack of energy is the absolute zero so it turns into an Ice type and reanimates a bit outta my reach at the moment. All i can see is that it crashes back down to Unova, Injured still and maybe attacks both Reshram and Zekrom, till the three seperate. Dunno. again just my imagination at work again...

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 2nd, 2011 9:44 PM

I do beleive that Kyurem was shot out into space as the poster above said. It'll for sure reconcile the myth of it coming from a meteor with the theory it's connected with the tao duo without the need of a giant recon.

Ho-Oh September 3rd, 2011 9:33 AM

lol only post here when I get ideas from posting in other threads.

BUT.

Bianca as the professor for the third game, and Cheren as the champion, actually give them roles and let them achieve what they wanted in B/W. idk, that would only work if the third game was set in the future though. It could maybe work! I'd kinda like to see their pasts explored which could probably relate into Kyurem's storyline of it taking years after as they'll say "the green haired boy travelled the region". So you'd get a backstory on everything that happened and see mature versions of them... everyone wins. And then finally face-off with Alder/Juniper as one-time only trainers, kinda like Cynthia and such. :3

funrush September 3rd, 2011 9:57 AM

It's kind of obvious now that there will be gym leader rematches in the third game, but one thing I would like is for the ability to rematch all of the Striaton gym leaders, not just one.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 3rd, 2011 1:33 PM

Perhaps one would be able to unlock the other two triplets rematches if you manage to get the other two starters :)
I doubt the third version would time skip but that would be cool...but what would happen to the player character...they would need new ones...

funrush September 3rd, 2011 3:16 PM

Okay, I've gathered almost all of my requests for Gray, so I'm going to put them here:

--Battle

-The ability to rematch trainers, via some sort of Vs. Seeker.
-The ability to rematch gym leaders.
-Being able to fight Bianca before defeating the Elite Four for the second time.
-More daily battles
-More Triple-Rotation Battles
-Be able to battle Blue/Lance.

--Gym Leaders/Elite Four

-Lenora should have another Pokemon, maybe a Mincinno.
-All of Burgh's Pokemon to be a level or two higher.
-Replace one of Elesa's Emolga, no specific requests as to who the replacement is.
-For all of Bryce's Pokemon to be a level or two higher.
-For Drayden/Iris's gym to have a less complicated gym, less gym trainers. Drayden/Iris's Pokemon should be a level higher.
-Replace one of Alder's bug types, there are too many.
-When rematching the Striaton gym leader, you should be able to rematch all three.

--Game-wise

-Make Relic Tower easier to navigate.
-Be able to hold more than ten people in Black City/White Forest.
-Be able to transfer Pokemon from previous games even if they know an HM move.
-Make Bouffalant the evolved form of Tauros.
-Make Alomomola the evolved form of Luvdisc.
-More legends, specifically, the Uxie trio, and possibly Dialga/Palkia/Giratina. I understand if they're saving those three for the Hoenn remakes though.

--Story-Wise

-Be able to battle the Six sages at different points around the story. (For example, being able to fight Zinzolin while you are searching for Team Plasma in the Cold Storage.)
-Find N, possibly rematch him.
-Find out what N's name is. (It can't just be "N"!)
-Battle the Shadow Triad.
-Reveal the identities of the Shadow Triad.
-Give the Striaton leaders more involvement within the story.

The 100 Mega Shock September 3rd, 2011 5:03 PM

Get rid of Black City / White Forest because they're nearly pointless for most people who don't have dozens of people to exchange with an a pain to keep populated every day.

Quoted pretty much what I agree with. It would not make sense at all really for Bouffalant and Alomomola, already being established in-game to just randomly get older evolutions, maybe in a future generation seeing the link between them but idk if it'd fly in the same generation really thinking about it. :x

I also don't think creating new legendaries mid-generation would work out either. I mean it hasn't been tried before buuut idk. I guess that's what Meloetta, Keldeo and Genesect are for.

All for the idea of Lenora having a Minccino though. :3 Well except for the fact that Minccino aren't found early on, so imo make Minccino appear earlierrrr.

I wasn't talking about creating new legends, I was talking about being able to catch old legends. Kindof like how you could catch Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno in Platinum.

Ho-Oh September 4th, 2011 6:05 AM

lol nevermind me I suck at skim reading sometimes. But yeah that'd not be that bad actually, I could see them brining in some older legendaries giving certain areas some use. For example, Abyssal Ruins = Kyogre & Challenger's Cave = Groudon and uhhh Rayquaza on some secret level of Twist Mountain. Totally could work out if the third game is placed after R/S remakes. I do think there is potential though for extra places for extra legendaries though :x

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 5th, 2011 6:49 AM

it could possibly work before seeing how the bird trio was in both Plat and later HgSs but then again they weren't the mascots of the remakes...also doing that would kind of beat some of the point of having said remakes...
Back to Pokemon Grey: They had a nice idea with the white forest and Black city in bw but they just had to go make it gimmicky...how about Grey village isn't and automatically has several people.
I imagine Arceus being in the abysmal ruins too seeing as it has all it's plates plus it would allow for it to be captured in game similar to mew in Emerald (seeing how the DPPt event was skipped...) and it'll give the player a bigger incentive to go there rather than just to get easy cash.
I can see the dragon trio in it, they could have plasma try to get them and explain why they got the orbs. Oh and looker could say something of how Cyrus tried doing that ect.Speaking of Cyrus...they could have him team up with Ghetsis in the end...

They're nice to look at. xD;

Well, instead of just removing them, why not just give it more features, that don't require a friend or another DS/3DS.

I don't like this idea. Alomomola has not much in common with Luvdisc, it has different stat distribution and use. Bouffalant's design is not similiar to Tauros and has the same BST and nearly the same stat distribution. That would also ruin Miltank's role as Tauros' counterpart.

Considering they had a few triple/rotation battles, I would like them to be the hub of those as well as the online capabilities. It would be easy to implement that in Black through a tower in Black City, not sure how it would be implemented in White...maybe something like a large Redwood that you can walk into, and fight people there so it's more natural?

Posiden September 5th, 2011 7:53 AM

I think it would be best to have a Grey Village, which had pokemon availiable for capture and people to battle, but people just came and went regardless of interacting with other people, so you would get all of the trainers and pokemon, but not at the same time.

Although I agree that don't have a relation with one another I still wouldn't rule a counterpart getting an evolution over another one. Seems like Scyther and Pinsir are counter parts but did Pinsir get an evolution? Jynx also struck me as a three way counterpart to Electabuzz and Magmar but yet it didn't get an evolution.

Or they could just incorporate Black City and White Forest in the same area.

Sirius Black September 6th, 2011 2:41 PM

I was thinking they should... introduce three way battles and in the beggining you could battle bianca and the other guy XD cant remeber his name and BTW i had six pokemon before first gym XD

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 6th, 2011 4:01 PM

Maybe you can team up with the players friends against the bad guys similar to how Brandon/May and Lucas/Dawn teamed up with Steven against Magma (in emerald) and Pearl against Galactic respectively.
I'll like to see a new side area like the tower north of seven isle and north of Mauvile city. Perhaps the tower can be in the city near the great chasm as it'll give the player a reason to visit the city.

Theab95 September 10th, 2011 5:43 AM

I think they will announce it this month, I mean If they are gonna make the R/S remakes in 2012 too I'm very sure they will announce any of the games
very soon.

Simmy93 September 10th, 2011 8:38 AM

People really are over thinking what they'll add.. Do they ever -really- add major things? Crystal had moving sprites and a bit of a storyline using suicune. Emerald they dressed in Green and had the Battle Fronteir.. And Platinum? Oh joy the Distortion World..
