Re: ​Talking Point: Pokémon GO's Next Major Update Should Target Gen VII Pokémon

And miss out on catching an Ampharos? No way!
In all seriousness, this might be a bad marketing move. I don't think casual players completely understand what they're getting by buying a Pokemon game instead of downloading a free app. New Pokemon are a very distinct part of a new game, and that might ruin some of the appeal Sun and Moon would have on newbie fans.

Re: Nintendo NX Has A Core Idea Which Doesn't Just "Follow Advancements In Technology", Claims Miyamoto

GoomyLife

First of all, he never said the NX wouldn't be as powerful as other consoles.
Secondly, did anyone REALLY expect it to be?? Less power means less cost as far as Nintendo is concerned, and they have to do everything they can to keep their family-friendly image.
Don't try to pin the Wii U's failure on graphics. The Wii and 3DS (and maybe the DS) frankly look awful, but they dominated their respective markets.

Re: Meet The Edgy And Mature Fan-Made Pokémon Game That Aims To "Fix" The Series

GoomyLife

If a fan-game uses "mature themes" and "swearing" as it's main point, you can tell it won't be good. I suspect this will be no better than your average fanfic- unnecessary swearing in every sentence. The "horror" will most likely be akin to a Lavender Town creepypasta too. What exactly is wrong about current Pokémon's subtle horror themes? Do they HAVE to be more in-your-face about it?

Re: More Official Pokémon Go Gameplay Details Emerge

No battles. Lame.
What's the point in catching, evolving and trading 'Mon if they don't do anything? Even the TCG, which a lot of people collect for the heck of it, has a battle system. At this point, even a very simplified RPG would be a lot more fun than throwing balls around.
I get that the main focus of the game is to catch Pokemon and travel the world... but wouldn't that be emphasized by battles? If the things you collected weren't useless, and it felt like you were on an actual Pokemon journey? Who hasn't wanted to do that?
That trailer was way too hype for it's own good. And the lack of Gen 2-6 Pokemon is not too promising either.
