General Pokémon

[FierceDeity]

Idk whether or not they're doing a remake (have they announced it yet?), but it definitely won't have as much incentive as fire red/leaf green or heart gold/soul silver, seeing as you can already transfer your pokemon from third gen games. Sure, there are definitely some major improvements made with the remakes, but the main incentive for most people, other than being able to transfer pokemon from that gen, is nostalgia, and for that I can just go play my old games...

No word on an RSE remake of any such, but we'll see. It's possible to transfer Pokemon, but it's time consuming a bit... but thing is, people would buy it. And the younger generation never played them, so it'd offer them to experience gen 3 as well.

Leave it to a smogoning-jerk to take all the fun out of battling.

is SMOGON ruining the METAGAME???

Aren't we the younger generation?
I thought the older generation was the people who played R/B and were done

[FierceDeity]

Let's be cautious with the word "we" here haha, I grew up with RBY and kept playing...

But yeah, people would definitely buy the remake, I'm just saying there's less incentive than there was with the other ones.

[Nebbles]

Erm, newer. hurr i can tell time

I mean, I'm a sucker for Hoenn, I'd buy it. But I think they'd have to do sequels? If they did that instead, it'd creative heavy incentive because it's different.

3D HOENN GIMME

[Nebbles]

I'd sell my soul for a 3D Hoenn. And remastered Hoenn music.

[mikey]

I don't have a 3DS
could they sell it for NDS? >.>

[Waddle Bro]

Never gonna happen, they'll encourage you to buy a 3DS

How about we start being a bit realistic here

The 3DS has been out for almost three years now.

[Dude]

Plus the WFC is going away, so yeah, get a 3ds.

Has it really been that long... O_O

Getting a 3DS is a great thing to do; aside from Pokémon games, you have numerous other wonderful games!

[Nebbles]

Yeah, they're getting rid of the NDS wifi come May 20th. So it's really in your best interest to get a 3DS. If the 3DS is too pricey for you, the 2DS is an option.

Kalos was massively underwhelming for me. I expected more.

It's not often that I get to say this, but I totally agree with Nebbles.

Don't get me wrong here--Pokemon is Pokemon is Pokemon, and Pokemon is fantastic. So I didn't dislike Pokemon X and Y. But I didn't get very much lasting satisfaction from it, either.

I'm gonna have to rant a bit here; I apologize. I don't know about anyone else, but playing through Pokemon Black and White, and Pokemon Black 2 and White 2, really invoked memories of why I started to love Pokemon in the first place. Everything felt magical and beautiful again.

Pokemon X just didn't do that for me. I can't argue that it isn't the best-looking Pokemon to date. But I can argue that its charm feels shallow and doesn't really resonate with me personally. The graphics are of a technical quality that's above and beyond Pokemon Black and White, but they don't feel quite as immersing to me.

And I could go on about all the nitpicky problems I have with Pokemon X. The game feels saturated with older Pokemon. The newer Pokemon that are there are something of a mixed bag--I love some of them and I hate some of them, but more offensive than the ones I hate are the ones that are just sort of there, forgettable and awkward. And I mean it's not like I'm hellbent on not liking new Pokemon; no one was more eager to rush out to the store and buy Pokemon X than I was.

Don't bash me for this, please. Pokemon X and Y seems to have hit all the right chords with just about everyone, and that's great--seriously, I'm really happy that Game Freak is making a comeback with the masses after a lot of folks skipped out on the fifth generation. It just felt almost like a knockoff Pokemon game to me--it was almost a chore to play, and that's something that I never thought I would say about any Pokemon game.
In other breaking news, it actually makes no sense to bash games you haven't played, so I'd recommend not doing that from now on Nocturne
