This is cool, and I definitely like Dexnav, but breeding will always be the best way to get a top tier Pokemon. I can get a 6-IV good nature pokemon with an egg move I want in a fraction of the time it would take me to catch one in the wild. Dexnav is good for casuals, but if you are serious about pokemon battling like I am, you'll never use it.
Im glad that Australia and New Zealand are finally getting something first, but that won't stop me from being a wee bit grumpy. I need a new 3DS since my 3 year-old one is starting to waste away, and I don't want to get a normal 3DS if there's going to be a new one...
Maybe Nintendo should raise their standards so a college-aged kid cant put a free flash game he made with his little brother on the eshop? Anyways, I thought people were done with memes. It's not 2011, people who read rage comics and enjoy /r/adviceanimals are the lowest echelon of humanity. Ech.
I'd prefer to see a Pokemon Fighting game done by Arc System Works, cuz fighting games with 2D artstyles look super nice nowadays. Plus it would be Blazblue/Guilty Gear with Pokemon, so that would be great. If this somehow doesn't come to Wii U in the states, I'll consider spending a ton of cash to import an arcade machine here. I mean, its not like I need money or anything...I have Pokemon!
Shouldn't Japan try to...y'know...work on the whole child porn + incest manga and anime issue they have goin on over there? I mean, stuff like Oreimo is/was really popular, and thats about as incesty and child porny you could get. Besides, not to many other countries are making stuff like Boku no Pico Japan. If someone tried to pull that in America, you'd have the Feds at your door within 10 minutes of you putting it up for sale.
@Einherjar That is exactly what I thought. It would be so sweet if they made the movesets customizable, and give us a full length story with Gym battles, Elite 4 and Champion, etc. I would say it would be an instant buy for me, but that might be all the Tenkaichi 3 I've been playing.
Given the fairly constant low rate of quality these games have, why does Nintendo Life always review them? I don't think anyone on this site saw this game and thought, "Wow. That looks like a game I'd like to spend my money on!"
I can say that my generation of gamers has grown up to be a generation of wusses. I'm 14, and I find my self having some trouble with the puzzles in retro Zelda titles, even though I should be used to them by now. My friends constantly ask for help when they play a game at my house, even If the answer is clear. One thing I do not struggle with is my reflexes, and I can swing out precise strokes and quick combos at a decent pace, and whenever I do, I feel very accomplished. This might be because of most games I play having a fast pace; but I doubt thats the only reason. I can already tell that games are getting easier and easier, and that isn't always something I want. I do hope that mobile gaming wont overtake any type of console, because unlike most people my age, I MUCH prefer a controller and buttons to a touch screen only game.
I'll see if I can get these, but I always feel weird if I just walk into a Gamestop with the sole purpose to get free stuff. At least they will add to my only shiny Pokemon I have. That's Golduck, if you want to know.
This game seems like it might be a good way to waste some time; but there is just too many other and better games on the eShop that I still want to get. Plus, $7 is outrageous for the amount of content it comes with. Maybe if it was on sale.
@haniwa I hate that! All the people who do that are beyond stupid; there is currently no legal way to obtain a Reshiram or Zekrom under lv.50, as of right now.
Check the news leak on Pokebeach for more info. They have a ton of new stuff there, like the starters final evolution's types, gym leader types, the new Fairy type, another Mewtwo form, etc. None of it is confirmed, but they got it from a fairly reliable source.
I don't understand how anyone who calls themself a gamer could dislike this god of a game. Everything is perfect; graphics, music, dungeons, EVERYTHING!
@-KwB- Sorry, but my grammar Nazi-ism is kicking in. You mean, "I played this game the whole weekend! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! No space between the end of the word and the !. Okay! Sorry!
Mobile games are not taking the spotlight from handhelds. Casuals flock to them because they are on a device they already own and use, but TRUE gamers will always stick with their handhelds, no matter the manufacturer.
Everyone in 2005 when first NSMB is announced: OMG A 2D MARIO GAME MUST BUY NOW! Everyone circa 2013: OH LOOK NSMBU LETS KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!! My, how times have changed.
It's not the kids fault- it's his parents. Parents should know what their kids are doing, and they should decide if it is appropriate for their child to be playing those games. I'm the same age as the kid in the article (13) and I have a good friend who loves Call of Duty, but is in no way looking to purchase any of the guns now, or when he is older.
@DerpSandwich There is a LOT more games coming for 3DS and Wii U. For example: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (both versions) Etrian Odyssey IV Rayman Legends Pokemon X/Y The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon I don't know about you, but I'm set for the whole year!

Re: Talking Point: Gun Violence and Nintendo is an Unlikely Pairing
