Pokemon GC: the first screen shot

WHY DOES NINTENDO NOT MAKE A HUGE FULL-FLEDGED 3D ASSKICKING POKEMON RPG ON THE GC?

Jesus christ, it's like a complete lack of common sense. They didn't do it on the N64 and they had better fecking do it on the Cube. I myself am pretty gay for Pokemon (ORIGINAL Pokemon, not Butt Brown / Leaf Mauve remakes).
 
DAMN IT, it looks like the shitty RPG mode from Pokemon Colloseum, god damn PC is horrible, and it has some of the worst looking characters i've ever seen too. Boring =\

I assume this will be called Pokemon Colloseum 2?
 
I'm very disappointed as well. :( And this one was supposed to be worked on 'together with a strong partner'?

Anyway, thanks neo and DSN2K.
 
17 is definatly Mario Baseball.



I can hardly judge from those screens, but it looks poor.


Nintendo would be wise to use Ash as the main character if they were doing a full Pokémon RPG game and make it extremely different from the Colleseum RPG (ie Battle system, item system etc.).



-SB
 
those 2 kids (top right corner) are the main characters.

Nintendo (or Pokemon co.) decides to use some generic new face to be the main character probably because they want to player to feel like they are the main character, not just controling the main character.

expect to see those 2 kids in the up coming pokemon cartoon.

So, they might actually speak?

Wow, that's new for a Nintendo game---

Pokémon is a fad
_________ is a fad.

a) Pokemon
b) Dragon Warrior
c) Super Mario Bros.
d) Final Fantasy
e) Metal Gear Solid
f) Online gaming

If anything could get me to play a Pokemon game it would be a full GC RPG version. I've yet to touch one.
 
Better late then ever!

However if this is real It must take some time to come out, in that case the XB2 and PS3 are upon us might not be the system seller that such a title is capable of being.


Still looks good! I hope there is online play, with turn based battles 56k might be doable!

They should cel-shade it... and make it for Revolution instead.

or at the very least just cel-shade it. It still boggles my mind that Nintendo has never made a true pokemon RPG on the gamecube, or N64 before that.

Maybe they feel that pokemon is all about kids getting together to play and trade monsters in the schoolyard, not sitting at home with some "eipc adventure" or whatever.
 
Not exactly impressive looking, and I would like Ash as the main character, have it be a full RPG and be able to adventure around the world of the original cartoon.
 
If i actually get a REAL Pokemon RPG, like the GB versions, for the Gamecube then I can officially declare Nintendo and the little purple box greater then PS2 and Xbox.
 
Yeah, where's Ash, Misty and Brock? We want the original Pokemon trainer, not these crappy wannabes. And Jesse, James and Meowth for that matter.

And what the hell is everyone's obsession with anything that doesn't look quite realistic being cel-shaded.
 
Why can't it have the art of the show?
The art of the GBA games?

THat would look so much better.

Cel shade these dudes.
Have the people who do the Naruto games do the character models.
 
I'm pretty sure a lot of the pokemon models in Colloseum were hi-res N64 models. Nintendo sure likes to take the easy way out whenever possible...
 
I can't believe people are quibbling over the graphics of a Pokemon game as if we should expect Doom 3 or Riddick.
 
I completely agree with the people saying this should be cell shaded. Imagine a graphical style similar to that of Dragon Quest VIII but instead of the Toriyama characters you would have the characters from the show. Hot damn that would look nice! And yes, the main characters should definitely be Ash, Misty, Brock, Jesse, James, Meowth, and Pikachu.

DQ? Nah
I'd rather true cel-shading where like in Naruto or Wind Waker.
Those painted on cel shaded textures don't look as good because they don't react to light.
 
...so what is the deal with this game. The Pokémon gamers pretty much have all the 386 Pokémon (minus Celebi and Mew in America and the Japanese need Mew IIRC). I highly doubt Nintendo is making new Pokemon for this game. They put almost no effort in Colosseum... This better not be the way for us to get Mew... XD

Yeah, that is the reason they gave for not making a true Pokemon game on the N64. They see the social aspects of the game as crucial to its success.
 
I would like to make my own character, he would have big hair, wear a headband and have a handle bar moustache he would be called “Brock Landers” and would shoot amateur movies in his spare time.
