I like the top-down view yeh, hopefully it'll be kept in the DS versions. And I'm definately looking forward to the new Cube game which is apparently 100% proper RPG. If only Ninty had released such a game ages ago on the N64 when Pokémon was in it's prime.. they'd have made such a mint. Instead of Hey You Pikachu and the Stadiums.

Aye, I never bother trading.. I'm not a kid who has friends who all have Gameboys and Pokémon any more so it would be kinda hard.
It would be good to get them all in one game. If you wanted all 386 in the GBA games you'd need to have/trade with: Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Leaf Green, Fire Red and Collosseum on the Cube.

The Pokemon Stadiums were pretty good. But ever since the Ruby and Saphire versions it all seemed to go downhill. I mean, Hey You Pikachu was no walk in the park either(except for huge Pokefans like my bro.) but nowadays they just keep churning out what they can think of. Not that that's neccessarily a bad thing. They've gotta make money somewhere. But they can at least, like you and probably Concept(if that's the name) have pointed out, they could at least take some more time to come up with more interesting Pokemon. Go on, [URL]http://217.158.191.136//ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?
I think no matter how polished and detailed the graphics are, they could never top the top-down 2D games(Pokemon that is).
Still, let's hope the new Gamecube Pokemon does better than Colloseum.
Not whatever stupid amount was in the newest GBA games ... yeah! look at all the Pokémon! oh, by the way, you can only actually get 5 of them.
Some new Pokémon are good - the pre-evolution ones are pretty decent.
But most of the new ones now just suck ass. They should cap it off, and actually let you get all of them in one game.

But wouldn't you get bored if it was just the same 151 over and over and over and over again?
Too many pokemon imo, 150 was nice, enough to know more or less each ones type when u saw them, have ur faves etc...but still enough for the people with too much time on their hands to collect them all :P
Now it just seems like "wtf type pokemon is that", then it starts to feel the game wants too much of my life.

Come on, every Ninty fan's wet dream is a fully 3D proper adventure Pokémon game.
Except Dringo, whose dream includes Peach in her Mario Tennis outfit.

Pokemon Red and Blue...
or Pokemon Colloseum.
2D was made for Pokemon.

It's Gonbe/Munchlax (Jap/US names) the pre-evolution of Snorlax and it doesn't appear in any of the regular games yet. It's the first new one for the DS era that'll presumbably be in Pokémon Pearl/Diamond.
Not that I'm a geek or anything.
