Chris Buffa (Modojo): Last week, the Internet was abuzz with rumors concerning a new Pokemon game announcement. Said game (games, rather) turned out to be Pokemon Black Version 2 and Pokemon White Version 2. The platform? Nintendo DS.
In the words of Norm MacDonald...wait, what?
Pokémon Black & White may be some people's favourite games in the franchise, but they also started some bad trends.
GameCrate: "Our first look at Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl reminded a lot of folks of another game: The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening on Switch from 2019. What other titles should Nintendo revive with this specific graphical update?"
Zelda Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages not being on that list is criminal. If they remade Link Awakening, they should definitely remake those, since they were using the same visuals on GBC (but with the later two being a little prettier). Plus imo, those 2 games are better than Link Awakening (and they take longer to beat).
all 3 should definitely get the treatment. Those style of games would fit perfectly with these aesthetics.
TechRaptor writes, "We take a look at the worst designed Pokemon from the fifth generation, Pokemon Black and Pokemon White."
Again chris cant see the big picture.
Let me educate you on portable history.
The ds has launched, and the gba is on its way out.
What does gamefreak do?
they release pokemon emerald, and drill dozer on the gba.
The first rpg pokemon doesn't come on the ds until 2006.
2 years later.
We are just now appraoching the end of the first year.
pokemon rumble blast had nothing to do with gamefreak. They liscensed that out.
its brilliant
ds sales are practically nothing right now. The 3ds is BC.
MONEY without the cost.
Its brilliant
Lame, guess no support for 3DS. Wondering why not 3DS? I mean it should have more space to help make a bigger Pokemon game.
"Black & White 2... I just heard the name and played all the game in my mind. And you know what? It sucks"
This is nothing new. Blue, Red and the "sequel" Yellow were in GB. Gold, Silver and Crystal in GBC. Ruby Sapphire and Emerald in GBA. All third versions of the game were in the same portable console, so what's new here?
Reasons? There's a lot more of DS users than 3DS users. That way, you can sell more and more copies, the game doesnt feel rushed, and, if someone wants to play it, will probably buy a 3DS since it's backwards compatible. You can extend the life of the console. Also, a lot of people are waiting for the almost secure 2nd version of the console, so they can sell a brand new pkmn game with, idk, the 3DS dualstick or something. There's a lot of smart reasons to do what they're doing.
Stop crying for nothing, because that's exactly what we know about it: Nothing.
These articles are retarded. The 3rd version game of each gen never comes out on a different platform than its original 2 versions.
Do any of these people realize how long it takes to remodel/draw 600+ pokemon alone? I don't want Game Freak to take 2 or 3 years to develop some sequel to B/W. I rather the company make new tech for 6th gen, not for the usual 3rd version of the current generation. Trust me I'm starving for the first real 3DS Pokemon game too, but there's more reasons to not release this on 3DS than to actually release it on the platform.
3rd version pokemon games are the biggest scam in gaming. They offer very little extra content than the first game. They are only good for people that didn't complete one of the first two versions. So, maybe "scam" is a strong word, because if it allows people that didn't get in on the first two versions to experience it, they are sort of like a "gold" version. But, if they expect someone who played black or white already to play this and people actually do, it is the most successful a-hole business model out there. Kudos to them for making more money, I guess, but the amount of extra content never justifies a purchase for people who already played it, IMO.
