I agree, I honestly hate Giratina, however I would like it if they just designed a better way to get Shaymin etc, I hate the event thing because 60% of players can't get to them anyway.

I hate hacking/cheating with pokemon, it ruins the game but if i have no other choice then I will do what I did in Emerald to get the tickets for the event pokemon islands, while it's still technically cheating, the pokemon them selves are legit. That's about as far as I can tolerate with hacks though.

well i had the idea of a pair of games called pokemon starshine and startwinkle(wii)
wouldnt it be cool for you to play as a trainer in a real adventure on wii

ive actually planned everything drawn all the pokemon(my absence)

The scene would be set in kanto with you able to go into other regions. The legends would be shimera and twykeron. the legendary dogs would be on shimeras side and the birds on the other. in the game every choice you make would determine your future

you start with the national dex

Those are good ideas, but we can only wish that they will happen. I like the evil team idea, (but pokemon is thought of as a kid's game in some cases) it's more like the manga series than the anime series, which would be cool.

Oh yeah, I hate to burst your guys' bubble, but I doubt they will make an all-region game anytime soon. They might, I repeat, might make one when nintendo is done with new pokemon ideas. And if you guys are SO eager to play an Kick - ^%$ game like that, (I hate to spam) you can check out a fangame called pokemon:the lost world. under games showcase. (not out yet.)

The best possible move Nintendo could do is a Pokemon MMORPG on wii with all 4 regions, along with expansions for future regions. Let you create your trainers "look", pick a region and go from there. Make the worlds absolutely massive, similar scale to the world size in the anime.

Legendaries could act as incredibly rare yet hard bosses that if you defeat adds their data to your Pokedex so you can complete it but no one would be able to ever own a Legendary, making them as rare and powerful as they are in the anime. It could be done and I guarantee the game could rock.

Proper Pokemon league championship once a month fight your way to the rights to take on the elite four, Gym and league battles watchable would be an insane idea.

Have the option of allowing one Pokemon to remain outside it's Pokeball (Larger ones only outside of towns/cities.

I honestly think if Nintendo did that then they would make ALOT of money. Hundreds of mini quests throughout the world you can do in your spare time.

Pokemon contests if Gym challenges aren't your thing, and breeding options for the Breeders out there.

That would truly be a game worth buying in my books. As long as there was freedom and customization and what not then I'd be fine with that.

evolution via level up would be fun to if it happened after a battle.

"Dude, your charmelion is glowing!"

"Oh sweet!, Hello Charizard!"


Hell, if they made a "Pokemon Stadium 64" graphiced MMO on DS then that too would be awesome, possibly better since WiFi is better on DS.

Thats a great idea...

A Pokemon MMORPG would be awesome, however if someone had a legendary it would be quite unfair to the rest of the world.
But what the heck, its a great idea

Yeah, but in the MMO you wouldn't catch Legendaries, just battle them but they'd be insanely hard, winning would give you the pokedex data so you can still fill the dex but then the legendary might respawn and hour or so later so others can take them on.

Think of it as a boss battle, without capturing them.

i really think in the new one they should make it like gold, crystal and silver with 2 regions. They need to make more twists and in depth regions i think, or maybe a game where you can travel to ALL the regions battle the gym leaders and instead of one set of elite for trainers,meet all of them from the different regions. maybe make a time capsule thing and travel back into time, or into the future of the different regions.

just my two cents...

For me, I love the original. It's the main thing of Pokemon. It's like the main thing why people buy them. But I like the spin-offs as well, they were pretty fun. But in my opinion. I would love to see a Coordinator spin-off. But what I SERIOUSLY want and I know that everyone wants is a MMORPG. It would be like the top selling or the best game of the year instantly. A lot of people loved the Wi-Fi feature. So everyone would kill for a MMORPG Pokemon game. You could customize your character, pick from Trainer, Breeder, Coordinator, etc. You could have more than one character and stuff. I bet you if they made that, then it wouldn't die or be forgotten for a very long period of time. That would be the best. Back to the original game story, like I said, a lot of people like it. But they could expand the game. I mean, to be honest, they didn't really take advantage of the DS space and features to the max. If they did, it would be like a top seller game for maybe 3 years or something.

Well, its only fitting. RBY had a remake. RS had a remake. So, we'll have a DP remake, a GSC remake, and HOPEFULLY a 5th gen game.

I personally really like Giratina, so I can't wait for the next game =]

I say I would go for anothet hundred spinoffs. Plainly because pokemon is the only franchise that can spread out to so many different things. You got pokemon ranger the main games for trainers now what we need is a game for coordinators and im happy.

I would honestly hate it if anything changed about the way the RPG Pokemon games are for DS. I love how they are now and I don't want them to change.

I like the pokemon games but I always wished you just had a little more freedom of choice in them. Just something more than being able to choose which pokemon you want (and nowadays the choices are pretty limited with what is 'good' during the main storyline) and deciding occasionally which town you want to go to first, which you probably only get once per game.

I always thought, wouldnt it be cool to have a pokemon mmorpg. I dont like the ideas of spinoffs for breeders or coordinators (I did like ranger and mystery dungeon though) but if you could dedicate yourself in game to one thing or alot of things it'd be great. Come up with different ways to get pokemon to obey you. Like you can either get the badges or win x amounts of contests etc

Of course, thats just wishful thinking. They wont change it when it already sells so much

I'm fine with the RPGs as they are now. Only thing they can do is improve it with more moves, maybe 1 more type, and multiple -real- regions. Little places my Battle Frontier or Sevii Islands are nice, but having the actual major regions like in GSC would be nice. But I see a problem with all regions due to how in GSC, by the end of Kanto you'd have close to 90 and 100s. The spin offs, or for me were lack luster, but I haven't played any of the new recent ones. A MMO would be great addition, though I don't see one from Nintendo any time soon.

Ya, i get wat ur trying to say...
But, any new game story, be it coordinator or whatnot, has to live up to the amazingly high standard Pokemon has. It would have to be as good as or better than the traditional rpgs.
I get your point, but it would be really hard...




BTW...
wanna try to make our game so, at the begining, you could choose to be a trainer, coordinator, n watever???
Tat would be hard, but if we could pull it off...tat would be amazing!!!

POKEMON would sell a lot if there were real life things to do as well as pokemon. Lets say you go into Jubilief City and apply for a job. And you have to go to the job everyday. Like in a pokemart or something. Where you have to there by a certain time (like a mission) Stay there for certain time. You know stuff like that. If you beat the Champion...you become champion and you can step down if you want. You challange different people.

My god, there are so many horrible, horrible ideas in this thread, and so many hopeful, yet completely impossible ideas. Come on.

The core Pokemon games will never be on a home console. That would be completely against what Pokemon is- it's about taking it with you, and trading and battling friends by the lunch table. Obviously, you can't do that on the Wii. Second, the core games will never change. They might possibly put a larger focus on contests in the future, but as a whole, it's going to stay the same. Pokemon is cyclical in nature- the children that grow up playing one game grow out of it, while a new generation of children who have never heard of Pikachu pick up the new edition for the first time. In that sense, they don't have to change it, as someone will always find it fresh and new. They're really not thinking about the 20 year old manchildren who still play. :|

Yeah, seeing the pattern that they're making the Pokemon games in, they probably wont stop making the usual Trainer games. I mean, the only people who really care about these things, are the peopl who should have grown out of Pokemon quite a while ago. I started playing Pokemon about a year ago, and honestly, I think of Pokemon just as a game, not as a religion. : \
I just think that it would be a fun change if the show was like the anime more, where you could be a Pokemon coordinator/breeder/etc. then again, I really dislike the anime... When you really think about it, these ideas wouldn't work as well as the other spin offs. I mean, being a Pokemon coordinator wouldn't be as eventful as a trainer. it would just be more fun if there some events to go with the contests, too. Pokemon on a wii would only work if iit was an action game, like Mystery Dungeon, without taking turns. i mean Pokemon IS short for Pocket Monsters, and the last time I checked, a wii and TV do NOT fit in the common persons pocket.^_^

Not really. Colosseum, while being a terrible game, could have been good. It's just that the core series- the games that define each generation- will stay portable.

The plot of the games may be still running alot of money for Nintendo, but the plot get's boring after a few games.

The plots idea is only to tag the player to catch and train Pokemon to "be the best", and it never changes.

Seeing new twists to the game will get more buyers in. Battling and catching Pokemon get's quite boring after a few games, and seriously, the remakes NEED to stop. I'm not SAYING that Platnium is going to be a BAD game, I'm just saying that Nintendo is releasing so many of these games and little do people know that they're all the same.

They should just release one type of each game with EVERYTHING.

Not, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Pearl, Diamond, and Platnium and have people going crazily bored catching pokemon.

Too me it get's quite boring. But it's all for the money. Unfortunately.

Which is why Nintendo gets away with the rehashing- their prime audience is new to all of this.

I think customisable characters/paths would be great. Like what happens later in the game is determined on what you did to begin with in the earlier part of the game. And make the pokemon league more like the league in the series, where you have three pokemon and fight constant trainers, tournament style. Then you could challenge the elite four.


I think on the next game after platinum, they should take there time on it. I feel parts of D/P are rushed....and stop making totally ugly pokemon.

But why make a game thats completely different than what got peoples interest in the first place.

trainer based is pretty good already i mean just adding the wifi battles got me to buy this game. they could make better pokemon though (we dont need pidgey remakes every game.) maybe add in a co-op wifi thing and wifi multibattle. like of course the storyline ends but the multiplayer makes it last alot longer.

Platinum is going to have a lot on its hands....hopefully it will be as successful as Emerald was for Ruby and Sapphire. just new features would be nice for Platinum.
