"Major Pokemon announcements"

Nintendo says they will be making major announcements regarding Pokemon at both Spaceworld, and Londons The Nintendo Show (which I shall be attending).

It is thought to be regarding a the first game to fully take advantage of the GBA GCN link-up.

I have Pokemon stadium 2 - its better than the first one. It teaches people new to the game a lot about the battling. Theres also a little library that'll tell you what moves pokemon learn and at what level as well as the TM's each one can learn.

The battles are better to watch too now - some of the pokemon look really good on stadium 2, especially the large ones like steelix and lugia.

For anyone interested in the 4th movie - its gonna have Celebi in it.

I played pokemon stadium for the first time a couple of weks ago, I though it was quite good but I found the battles were a lot different from the gameboy versions, I used to beat my mate every time on the gameboy but lost miserably on the N64! I'm thinking about getting pokemon stadium 2, purely because I want to play gold/silver or crystal pokemon but I havn't got a gameboy colour.
Thanks savatt for the info on the 4th movie, i'll look forward to it.

I would have thought that Nintendo would have realised that since pokemon have been out for a couple of years now that their main audience isn't playing it anymore because they've either grown out of it or found something else.
Do you think it'll stop or will they bring another 100 pokemon out in a new gameboy game?

It wasn't bad but as Nintendo games go, it was clearly cashing in on the franchise.

Pokemon Snap was good,
Sorry did I just say that ummmm i didn't mean it.

I'd like to point out that although it's franchising was annoying, the cards, cartoons, movies all stupidly popular and the N64 games weren't quite up to Nintendo's normal standard...

EVERY single Pokemon game on the Gameboy is first class.
Yes Red, Blue and Yellow are the same game and yes Gold, Silver and Crystal are the same but you're not meant to buy all 3 - just buy one and trade with your friends who has a different coloured version.

Pokemon sold me a gameboy colour and no doubt I'll have to get a Gameboy advance too.

I already have 3 teams of 6 level hundred monsters (and a further 6 Gold/Silver monsters in training too.)

I've caught all 251 and although Pokemon Stadium on the N64 was a bit poor (the whole point was to make the battles on the Gameboy look impressive and while some moves did, most were pretty dodgy - the physical ones didn't even make contact!!) I'm expect big things from the Gamecube pokemon wise.

Just to get you even more worked up, theres a 4th pokemon movie on the way too lol ;-))

Mario is an adult already, surely making more adult like is impossible. Pokemons crap, although it made a load of money and appealed to half the world it's still crap + a 3rd pokemon film is out! do you think they'll stop after the GC pokemon game?
+ Nintendo's appeal is in the cartoon 'childish' graphics, they're more advanced than Sony stuff, although it's not as realistic, shouldn't we be looking for gameplay?

Your ideal man eh?

lol.

On a serious note, though, Nintendo have made a half-@rsed effort at trying to make Mario look more 'adult-like'. They've made him look worse, and (I don't know how they managed it) make him look even more childish!! Jeesh.

He needs muscles, and a frown. Maybe chewing some hay...no.
