Where's Pokemon Piss Yellow? (actually a serious thread)

[TehDarkArchon]

Seriously, where is my Pokemon Piss Yellow? We had fire red/leaf green, now we have soul silver and heart gold, but where's our upgraded version of yellow? It was tossed away like a crippled spartan =(

In all seriousness, I think remaking yellow for DS would be a cool idea. I have some ideas for this, as well as ideas for other games in general =)

- First of all, keep the ability for any pokemon to follow you. I'm indifferent about the Poketch returning, but it would be pretty nice, especially to have a town map always being displayable on the bottom screen. Also, keep the heavy emphasize on the bottom touch screen that we have in soul silver/heart gold (ie. the whole menu being on the touchscreen rather than the top screen). Makes it MUCH easier and efficient.

- I think it would be cool for a yellow remake to follow the anime more precisely. As in, have brock and misty follow you, make certain events from the anime (such as tentacruel raping a town, or mewtwo just pwning everything). Another cool addition might be to have a co-op mode with two other players taking on the roles of of misty and brock and everyone playing via wifi. I know this is kind of a stretch because it would require a lot of things to be implimented, but why not? Most people played yellow because they liked how it represented the anime, so why not build on that some more? Certainly the DS is capable of such feats. So far all we've seen as far as pokemon games goes on the DS are gameboy clones with improved graphics. Not necessarily horrible, but could be much better.

- Stop this "need to beat game to get national dex" ****. Some of us (at least me) don't yearn to make it through the game with 100 different choices in pokemon, only to unlock the other 350 by completing the whole game. I don't know about you guys, but I don't like endlessly training up a whole team in the grass to level 100 post-game just to go online and battle lvl 100 legendaries and lvl 1 magikarps with flail. I enjoy the story mode MUCH more, so why not be able to have ALL of the pokemon available at the beginning? Yes this would require pushing the DS more, but comon...

- While we're at it, make all 24 (32 now I guess?) gyms available. Why did we go backwards in pearl and only have 8? =(

Just some random ideas I've thought about while playing through soul silver. Tell me what you think, or add some more =)

we dont need a piss yellow, and GF doesn't need to make one. the only reason why fr/lg was made was to get kanto pokemon in r/s/e. why do you think fr/lg was so bland? the pokedex was bland, there was no activities like poke contest, no dive, no pokeblocks and a lot of stuff r/s/e games had. i mean it was just a rushed side project, JUST so people can get kanto pokemon in their r/s/e.

as for the DS yellow piss, i cant see them doing it at all. we already got kanto in hg/ss. yes its all cut down but GF doesnt care. but i would want a game that follows anime, just go play metapod23's ashgrey version hack

i think this is likely.with the Dsi, there is no way to get kanto pokemon agian, just like gen 3. They may reremake the kanto games, but instead doing red/green, they could make it a diffrent game with yellow.

huh? you mean 3ds? i hope not because

-its ds backwars compatible
-you can transfer pokemon to 5th gen
-who knows wild kanto pokemon may still be there

so theres not a point still

They should have kept the same path like Yellow and make the 3rd version of a generation to go with the anime. Change the storyline a little bit instead of just adding a small amount of new features.

Fairly valid point but in Diamond/Pearl dont you only have to SEE all the pokemon which is very easy considering almost all of them you come across with a trainer.

I don't know about you guys, but I don't like endlessly training up a whole team in the grass to level 100 post-game just to go online and battle lvl 100 legendaries and lvl 1 magikarps with flail.

Erm, who says you have to do that? Wait, in the grass? That's probably where your problem is. Elite 4 is much better training imo.

so why not be able to have ALL of the pokemon available at the beginning?

That would be a massive overload of pokemon. I would get overwhelmed by the sheer number of possibilities that you have right off. I love having to go that extra mile to find that one pokemon.

- While we're at it, make all 24 (32 now I guess?) gyms available. Why did we go backwards in pearl and only have 8? =(

Merging all the regions (as much as I want it) would take far to much time and would require changing so much about each region so that it flows better as a whole. There are probably other members of the site that can explain the issues about having all regions to you better. I can't remember all the points.
Oh and r/s/e only had 8 gyms as well, it was not a trend that d/p started.

I think we have more of a chance of seeing SpiritCrystal-like game than a BoltYellow (I like that name more) because HG/SS were recently released. It wouldn't make much sense to randomly jump back to 1st gen.

Woah Fr/lg had a update on kanto pokemon movesets. It wasn't rushed it had one of the best post game expierences. R/B needed a update in my opinion, also it had the vs seeker, one of the best ideas in pokemon.

Dive, pokecontests, pokeblocks don't make a great game, the content does. FR/LG has a crime orginization that doesn't capitalize on global warming awareness.

And having Kanto pokemon previously unavailable in R/S/E isn't a small thing.

11.8 million copies were sold. it has the highest sold copies of any remake in the pokemon franchise.

pokemon emerald only has 6.2 mil.

FR/LG have there own redeeming characteristics. While R/S/E also has its own redeeming characteristics. Also you can catch kanto pokemon in HG/SS now so yeah.
But yeah alot of pokemon fans were turned off the series because of the anime. In my opinion it sucks its why i quit for a while.

I for one love the idea of Piss Yellow. For a more serious name though, I'd go with something like Thunder/Shocking/Sparkling Yellow.

We have Light Ball now, which makes Pikachu a hell of a lot easier to use. You should obtain it after defeating Surge, or maybe Ash's Pikachu would naturally have stronger stats than normal Pikachuz?

Following the anime closer would be cool (Except they would need to cut out tons of Team Rocket garbage.). They could even throw Johto and the Orange Islands in there. Having Misty and Brock following you would make it fun. I like your multiplayer idea, and I'd like to add to it.

We have triple battles now, so that makes it easier for the idea to work out. Each trainer battle would be a single/double/triple battle, depending on the amount of players. Player 2 and Player 3 would be Misty and Brock respectively, but that particular player has caught in his game. In double battles Ash and Misty get three Pokemon each, like in a tag battle. In a triple battle all three trainer get to use two Pokemon each. Each trainers Pokemon will get full experience. In the overworld Ash has the power to decide where they should ultimately go, but Misty and Brock can move freely within a 100 foot radius. Ash can summon all the players together, and all players will automatically be brought together when a trainer battle begins. Ash would be the only one allowed to start trainer battles, but Misty and Brock can enter their own wild Pokemon battles. Maybe the feature could be wi-fi compatible with friends, with a chat feature. Game Freak would absolutely never do anything of this nature, but it's still a very fun idea nonetheless.

Sadly, Piss Yellow is nothing more than a distant dream. Game Freak has advanced very far since the very first generation, and they arenow working on fifth generation-related projects. :(

I don't think it's neccessary.
As for why we have 16 badges in GSC/HGSS, it's because Kanto and Johto are merged and not the rest of the regions.

This idea has been discussed time and time again. There will be no Yellow remake, and it sure wouldn't be called Piss Yellow. The closest we're gonna get to a Yellow remake is FireRed and LeafGreen. And that's just it.

Locked.
