Yep, Nintendo have announced that a GBA-style Pokemon adventure is underway for the Cube.

Now this has got me thinking two ways. It could turn out as a successful RPG, racking up the sales like it's GBA brother did ever so well.

But on the other-hand I have a feeling the exploration side of the game won't work in 3D that well. Sure, the battles will look brilliant, as Colossuem has already proved, but the other side of the game I have my doubts about. And, even though the Cube is owned by loads of kids, I have a feeling it won't sell well. Maybe because little kids will get burned if they buy it, I don't know. But I've got a doubt in the back of my mind. It's probably just me being stupid, but there we are.

I won't buy it, because even though deep down my heart is telling me I love Pokemon, my mind knows I will get burned/kicked/eaten/stroked if I do buy it.

So kids, get excited!

After the initial 151 Pokemon they got crap and gay.

Meh, Pokemon GC should be good.

Oh, excellent idea, you can do whatever you want, whenever you want.

You can go around going to gyms and collecting badges to allow you to visit the Elite 4, or, you can go around, and beat up other trainers, stealing thier pokemon and their badges.
And your pokemon then get a slight evilness tothem, and evolve into other evil pokemon.

Ye, there are too many Pokemon at the moment.

Stick to the original 151 to start with I say, and then if the game is a success bring out a sequel with the Johto Pokemon in.

The pokemon have to be simple and good, and there can't be 500 of them. It's much better to have fewer, better defined pokemon than hundreds of the same 5 pokemon in different suits.
Also you should get the option to be the bad guys and harvest pokemon eggs for money, or something.

What they should do, is when you use fly, you can fly wherever you want, and there's a meter to tell you where notto fly, as it's dangerou (ie, a Dragonite will fly in and kick you out of the sky)k, to stop you going were you shouldn't go.

That way, you can just fly up to the top of a hill if that's all you want.
And when you have to scale a mountain you've never been up before "Pigeot (or whoever) is too scared to fly here.

Yup yup.

Seriously though, if you're blocked by obviously passable objects in an attempt to keep you contained, then I'd be royally annoyed. When that happens, all you get is a 2D game from a 3D perspective, and you don't gain anything except graphical snazz.

Exactly, that or, make it fully real time so that you just run over and start beating the crap out of it.

BUt a ToS system would probably bebetter.
Aslong as they make the world graphics a bit better.

I don't like big black beetles chasing me around.
