This thread has been linked to the game 'Pokemon Colosseum'.
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!

New platform, new combat I say.
A Tales of Symphonia battle system would be perfect, you can control your pokemon directly, in real time. It's four moves would be assigned to A, B, X and Y, and along with PP they would have a cooldown period before you can use them again. When you use an item your pokemon runs back to the trainer at the side.
Simple, yet effective. And more interesting than choosing from a menu.

Yes indeedy.
Maybe you should get a shorter version after the first few times you do it, or be able to turn them off in the options.

The moves just need to be short. None of you Blizzard 20 second rubbish. It's good the first time but after 20 times it gets VERY annoying. Developers should learn this.

There could be something like PM2's First Strike badge which lets you kill really weak enemies instantly without even having to fight.
This time just by lobbing a pokéball at them, or your pokémon just taking the initiative and beating the half-living crap out the other poor creature without you having to lift a finger.

In Collosseum the emphasis is on the battles.
I see what you mean though, they would have to tone down the battles and make them much quicker to complete.

They should also get rid of all the pokémon apart from the original 151. The others just suck.

That would still get on my nerves.
They should allow you to travel through the worlds without coming into contact with a piece of grass.
Then, if you want to catch Pokemon, go find grass :)

FFFs way = better
But it would be best if it was basically just like the Wind Waker, and you ran around, and when you see a pokemon, you can throw a pokeball at it (whicheveryou choose) and then, when the pokeball opens, you can fight as the pokemon, or switch to the trainer to switch pokemon/use items etc.
That would be 1337
And the only way to escape would be to run.
Quickly.
After hitting them.

Oh right I see. Yeah, still crap.
Slightly less so, but still crap.
