Oh, yes, quite true. Protagonist[sup]TM[/sup] will also cope with his situation by making snarky, quick quips to his trusted traveling companion, Token Female Character[sup]TM[/sup]. We can't be having a game with hideous monsters and an apocalypse become something like survival-horror, after all. We here at EA Games want to broaden the appeal of our beloved franchises.AdamRhodes said:
Yes they still use Pokeballs (Different kinds too, I still highly recommend newer ones, if your not for the gameplay of the classic ones everyone likes, I would highly recommend Pokemon: Conquest)Zhukov said:
Aside from all the hate from EA....
They should make a console pokemon game that the battles should be like the Pokemon Trainer character from Smash Bros Brawl. Where you control the pokemon and get pre-set moves and stuff like that. Now I'm sure some characters are useless in that scenario like Metapod and Diglett so maybe having them all is impossible but even having an all-stars fighting game would be awesome. I know I would love to kick some ass as Rhydon or Blastoise.

Origin does thatBuretsu said:
If it was made by Blizzard, they would release a real money auction house for pokemon, ehich they would then nerf after you spent your time and money
and if it was the typical Activision Game, there would be yearly releases with no change whatsoever
yes everyone, no fun shall ever be allowed ever, not even a simple satirical hypothetical. Loosen up man, what's the harm? It isn't like the immaturity and legitimate discussions are mutually exclusive. Why not check out some of the featured content? Might be more in line with what you're looking for.Phlakes said:
Hold all the Legendaries hostage as DLC available upon the games release but still only available to be caught at the same point in the game as if it weren't DLC, in other words, you pay for a chance to catch the legendary. Same thing with Master Balls. Remove ev's from the game to "appeal to a wider audience" even though most people don't even know of them thus killing much of the specialization ability in the game, eliminating natures, bumping the accuracy of all moves up to 100%, even 1 hit KO moves, and multi-player gets forcefully added in a month before release with broken controls trying to take advantage of the 3DS camera. It costs money to trade pokemon to other players, and the champion battle gets cut out from the game, forcefully, asks you to pay 10 dollars to unlock the ending, and blacks out and deletes all of your save data if you refuse to pay.
There's a difference between fun and childish hatemongering.him over there said:
See, let's say it was "what if Valve made Pokemon". Someone would probably make the "the third one would never come out joke", which wouldn't have bad intentions and is made with some sort of respect toward Valve, not made out of hate.
But with this, read any reply here and ask yourself why that would be. Those answers pretty much all fall under "because EA is greedy and corrupt and hates their customers".
It's the difference between satirical fun and the equivalent of 3rd graders at the lunch table making fun of some teacher they all hate.
Is it wrong I fail to see the difference? Yes the jokes about EA are negative but that's only because EA has only negative stereotypes surrounding it. I fail to see this hate mongering.Phlakes said:
Not just wrong, that's the entire problem. Think of it as your friends talking about you. Would you be able to see the difference between them making a respectful joke about some character flaw and making an antagonistic joke about it because they think you're a douchebag?him over there said:
It's called perspective.Buretsu said:
Well that isn't a totally fair equivalency. We are a board that discusses gaming and took something from gaming with a bad reputation and played it for laughs. Hardly antagonizing someone for being a douchebag. This is nothing more than some slightly mean spirited lampooning.Phlakes said:
Take out that "slightly" and you're not only exactly right, but making the point. I know it's the why-can't-we-all-just-get-along in me talking but anything mean spirited like this has no good reason to exist, and getting away from it was one of the reasons I came here in the first place.him over there said:
Defending, yes, but that devotion is just the stereotype talking. This is only about the hate they get, which is ridiculously overblown and I'd defend anyone that has to put up with it over trivial things like DLC. That doesn't mean I agree with them, just that I disagree with the other side.Buretsu said:
i.e. the side that voted them the worst company in America, in Overstatement of the Century, 21st edition.
Fucking genius. Add Bioware as the developer and this might make it the game of the decade for me.HellsingerAngel said:
New game has none of the Pokemon from any previous generation (unless sold as DLC)
Only 50-75 pokemon you can catch without any DLC
The story has been made dark and gritty to make it more realistic
Gameplay changes from turn based RPG to FPS with different moves being slightly different assault rifles
Single player is just to grind up exp and catch pokemon (DLC stories will be released)
Multiplayer is main focus and will require a pass and will also be unplayable until patches are available
DLC to cover what would make the game complete is released to milk money
Next year rinse and repeat.

And all the obvious jokes are taken.
But it really says something about a company when the first things their customers assume about them is cramming price-gouging DLC into every nook and cranny.

I remember when I faced her in FireRed with The Glorious Monster Wasp. He handled that fight pretty much on his own. Pity he went down in usefulness when I reached the Elite Four...TimeLord said:***** please, I have Twinneedle and Pin Misslej-e-f-f-e-r-s said:
