Oh my~!

So badass.

Pokemon for the WiiU, with awesome HD graphics and straight up gorgeous battles with orchestrated themes. The future of Pokemon...


...that will never happen.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/TMs - show 4 and 5 side-by-side.

To save you the trip, I see

• Focus Punch, Water Pulse, Bullet Seed, Giga Drain, Iron Tail, Shock Wave, Secret Power, Steel Wing, Snatch, Skill Swap, Roost, Brine, Endure, Dragon Pulse, Drain Punch, Silver Wind, Recycle, Avalanche, Stealth Rock, Captivate, Dark Pulse, Sleep Talk and Natural Gift

lost TM status.

Certain moves came back as B2W2 move tutors, but that's outside the view of this thread right now.

Awesome, thanks for listing them out since it appears that Bulbapedia is down. Time to compile a list of Pokemon to breed in the 3rd/4th gen that take advantage of these moves.

The truth hurts....

My dream of seeing a fully realized 3D mainline Pokemon game after I first played Pokemon Red as a child has not died yet though. I wanna at least see one at least before my great grandkids bury me.

Poképark 3 sure will look pretty on the Wii U, though. :/

Pokémon without sprites isn't Pokémon

Don't talk shit about Pokemon Snap.

 

[Esura]

Oh...yeah that. Pokemon is totally not about catching unique creatures to do battle with other people who has said creatures as well. Totally about sprites.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Glad you understand.

 

[Apath]

All of the best shinies wind up blue. Mew, Gardevoir, et al. That's just how it works.

Black Charizard is the exception.

How does one get a shiny Charmander? Is it just like 1/100,000 Charmander starters are shiny?

Don't talk shit about Pokemon Snap.

Nintendo needs to make a Wii U version where the Wii U controller works as a camera that you hold up to the screen.

 

[LeleSocho]

Shaymin exists.

normal form is okay and air form sucks so at least 50% of it is good...

...but you made me remember the new pony thing... good lord what an awful abomination it is

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Wait, both players see each other's team before every battle in Gen5? I have so much to catch up on. :lol

Oh, and this Global Battle Union thing. Is it actually worthwhile or is it full of hackers who want to boost their score/ego?

I'm sure there will still be sprites in further Pokemon games.

Spoiler

For menus and stuff.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Please keep the low-res character art and sprite animations for the trainers, Game Freak. They're just so rad and stylized.

I don't understand why people want 3d models. Look at how ugly the models are for Pokédex 3D. You want that shit?

 

[Professor Beef]

NUZLOCKE UPDATE NUZLOCKE UPDATE policesiren.gif

JUPITER DEAD. Prof., you'll be glad to hear I sweeped her with Beef the LUXIO. OHKO'd Zubat, and thanks to an Oran Berry, a Super Potion and some Charge/Spark action, I was able to put down Purugly with only 8HP left. *unf unf unf unf*

Made it to Eterna, catching a Budew in the forest, a Wurmple on Route 205 North, and a Bronzor at Route 211 West. Fang Time the Zubat died in the process of grinding at Route 211... ;_; R.I.P. you beautiful fucker. Now training Bronzor and Wurmple to make up for the loss of a flying type, as I go to fuck up Gardenia. BRACE YOURSELF, MU'FUCKA.

Current party:
Jim the Dustox, lvl 16
Steely Dan the Bronzor, lvl 16
Billie the Psyduck, lvl 17
Beef the Luxio, lvl 18
Furious D the Ponyta, lvl 19
Captain the Staravia, lvl 20

This is the best/worst news I could hear. :lol

 

[Emitan]

Psy-yi-yi!

 

[Hot Coldman]

Gardenia died easily. This next Galactic Admin fight is going to be a bitch, isn't it?

*bulbapedia's it*

Yep.

And people call me shallow...

If you think ugly lumps of plastic aren't ugly, then sure.

TURTWIG'd better sit this one out if you care for his life...

Magnitude is the key to victory.

I have no ground types! Oh wait, there's always Hudson. And Brian. Hmmm.

GRINDAN TIEM. Don't stop until everyone of worth (and Billie) is level 23

You are a crazy person.
The models in Pokedex 3D are good.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

I don't know why but I can't remember any of the Galactic Fights being all that tough. I think it was more of the party I had than anything else.

Cyrus needs to return.

 

[Wiseblade]

The Pokédex 3D models are the best the series has ever had, but I'd still prefer to have sprites over them in Gen VI.

DPPt are pretty easy in general since the game throws so many great Pokémon at you early on. Infernape/Staraptor/Luxray/Roserade is more than enough to get you to Cynthia.

 

[QisTopTier]

I'd be fine with Gen 6 being 3d. ONLY if they have the quality of the pokedex 3d models though. Any worse than that and fuck no, low res 2d sprites would be better.

It would give them more animations as well, attack animations, being hit animations and so on. You can only do so much with sprites when you have to draw that many. 3d models are much easier to work with.

 

[LeleSocho]

it doesn't matter if they are good or not... 2d>3d period.

 

[Chet Rippo]

I hope they go the Dragon Quest 8 route myself.

 

[Professor Beef]

How many games does Dragon Quest have? The series just kinda came out of nowhere like Final Fantasy.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Is this generation the longest yet? Is there any word on if a new generation is ever coming?

 

[QisTopTier]

10 now not counting spin offs and remakes.

 

[nintendoman58]

If we're talking about Pokemon going 3D, need I remind you that we kind of got that already (not counting the stadium games).

I don't know about you people but I kind of liked these games. They offered a nice change from the usual "start from little kid, eight gyms, evil team, pokemon league, hall of fame" formula. Also, how can you not love this protagonist design?

It's just too bad the sequel went back to the "young noob trainer" standard.

Also: this freaking intro

 

[Professor Beef]

Those were ok, but I hated being forced to play Double Battles the entire time.

 

[QisTopTier]

Damn that's some bad art LOL

Yeah i loved Colosseum... better than Gen4 games.

 

[Gravijah]

a slow battle system?

 

[Chet Rippo]

That was actually my favorite part. The main games just don't have enough of them.

a slow battle system?

I meant with graphics. They look just like Toryama's art.
