Weird, and those two games have been out for a long time now.

*sigh* When is Nintendo to figure out that since Pokemon GBA RPGs sell like crack, a full Gamecube one might sell great as well?? They're so dumb.
Huh? Those games came out just recently! Fire Red and Leaf Green remakes... I heard they sold like 600,000 on day one, and over a million by the end of the week. That's a lot, but maybe a bit low by Pokemon standards... especially given how front-loaded sales in Japan are.
Oh right, I was confusing fire and leaf with platinum and aluminum, or whatever.
They are remakes of the first games though.
Yes. Nintendo can make them for relatively cheap and sell millions... easy money...
Why they still have yet to make one single real home console Pokemon game is beyond me.
I have no idea.
Cheaper to make GB games the major ones and cheap non-full titles for the major consoles... and it makes you almost as much money, I bet... or more, I don't know...
The home console Pokemon games never made as much money as the Gameboy ones. I know it's the easy way out, but Nintendo is supposed to be more than just the quick-buck company.
Not with Pokemon.
It's so sad.
Yeah, they could do something good or cool with the franchise if they wanted, but they'd rather just make the same thing over and over again... stupid blatant moneymaking, and, I'd say, harmful to the franchise. At some point people've got to get tired of it...
I just want a 3D Pokemon RPG, preferably online.
Oh yes, such a simple request... Rolleyes

Oh, this goes against what you say about Lucas. If Lucas is right about whatever he does to his creation, so is Miyamoto about his and Nintendo about its... you have no right to demand anything, or complain, they are right because its theirs...
Miyamoto didn't create Pokemon.

This isn't the same situation at all. A similar situation would be the creator of Pokemon saying "There shall only be Gameboy RPGs!!", not a whole board of directors deciding on which way makes them more money.
You are just trying to rationalize your inherently irrational split of opinions, you know...
I'm right and you know it. I explain myself clearly while you do not.
You explain yourself clearly? Maybe in your head you do, but I explain myself clearly in my head too... :)
But they ARE making a 3D pokémon RPG! Sure it's likely not full length (unless they actually didn't exxagerate the game's length), but it's still what it is.
Exactly, it's not full length and is really only a partial game...
You guys have been complaining FOREVER about finally getting a GC Pokemon RPG and then they finally make one, yeah it's probably not going to be end-of-the-world great or a particularly long game, but now you guys don't want it?! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! HAVE YOU ALL GONE MAD?!
I want it! It's THOSE people who don't. LL even wants it, after only recently getting tired of rehashes at that. The only complaint one could put against it from what I can see is it's length. From what I've seen, aside from that, it's a full RPG in every other sense. It's got a big adventure involving a big place and visiting towns and side quests and such. It's just not all that long, unless they aren't exxagerating and it really IS 30 hours in length, in which case one can't really hold anything against it until they played it long enough to say it sucks.

ABF, I don't even think you explain yourself clearly to yourself. It's just not possible.

It's exactly BECAUSE of how long I've waited for a real 3D RPG that I'm not looking forward to this game! It's like how people were really looking forward to an adaptation to Lord of the Rings before the movies were announced and if instead of getting three good movies we got a 1-hour made for tv movie instead. Sure it would be better than nothing, but that's what we've been waiting for?? I don't think so!

You aren't much better than me at understanding what other people mean on many occasions, but your problem is you don't admit it...
Right, which is why ten people had to explain that Frog and Toad joke to you. Rolleyes
That's not how it happened...
Okay, so it was six people.
Rolleyes
Close.
