Yeah, I have no idea why the two-legged one is Water.

Add that to the fact that the rest of him is rubbery and matte and his legs are spread out like a figure trying to sustain its weight, and he looks like a toy.

Tell me an actual reason why the Pokemon games suck. (And don't say anything that's more torwards the Anime)

Wow I get flamed for hating a game.WTF is with that? I hate it and you guys CANNOT make me think other wise.

Chunky Kong12345 · 10-20-2006, 04:15 PM

Tell us why you hate the GAMES and we'll back off.

Frumious B, · 10-20-2006, 04:48 PM

I wasn't flaming you at all. Well, maybe. But not really.

But you say that you hate Pokemon, but you haven't played the games. In order to hate something, you have to do/see/play it. And no, the cartoon doesn't count. I'm talking about the games, beesh.

It'll probably look better when it's in motion. Still won't look great, of course. The dynamic lighting makes it all look way too smooth; animals don't shine like that. It would help quite a bit if they'd devote some more polys towards scales, segments, feathers, fur, and what-have-you. (Of course, this is the Wii we're talking about; it likely wouldn't be able to handle too many more polys anyway. But that's a dead horse of a different colour.)

Irby · 10-20-2006, 09:27 PM

Hmm maybe I should be specific.I hate the show.

Codiekitty · 10-20-2006, 09:42 PM

Some other graphical gripes:

Can't they find some way of portraying Hikozaru's tail that looks like a fire tail instead of looking like his ass is on fire?

How is light getting to that part of Parukia's chest when it should clearly be blocked out by his massive shoulders?

Groudon's tail spikes are awful. They're brighter than the rest of him and the lack of flow between them and the tail makes them look like somebody randomly jabbed them in there instead of them being a natural part of him.

Be carefull how you word that...

I don't need to shoot myself with a gun to know that I wouldn't like being shot.

*You have awesome reading skills.*

So far, these Pokemon look terrible on the Wii...I hope they try to improve the graphics.

And I seriously don't want another "Shadow Pokemon" plot.

**NintendoNut** · 10-23-2006, 10:45 AM

Looks like Colloseum...That's NO GOOD.

Koga · 10-23-2006, 04:15 PM

I thought the two Stadium games for the N64 were the best Pokemon games. I never cared much for the RPG element, the exploration and the catching of Pokemon (I always used duplicated Master Balls in Silver); the battles were by far the most enjoyable for me. And in Stadium you couldn't just win by outlevelling your opponent.

Auron · 10-23-2006, 04:28 PM

I never really cared much for the console Pokemon games. There really didn't seem to be any point to them. Import your pokemon so you can battle on the TV instead of the little screen. Awesome. There wasn't really much award for it either. They attempted a story on the GC, but from what I've heard, it was lackluster and boring. The best attraction was the same thing that the N64 addressed. Emerald did a nice job of addressing the outleveling problem Koga presented (Battle Frontier), and I expect that to continue with Diamond and Pearl. So unless Nintendo does anything radically different or completely revolutionary (no pun intended) with this, then I see no need to shovel out 50-60 bucks for it.

Koga · 10-24-2006, 02:38 AM

Didn't know about the battle frontier system as I haven't played any games past Silver/Stadium 2. Still, of the first two generations I think the Stadium games were perfect for those who enjoyed battling more than the RPG part. I also liked the different cups that made you use Pokemon you wouldn't use otherwise. And the fact that for most battles you need to choose three out of six added an extra challenge.

**NintendoNut** · 10-24-2006, 02:40 PM

I quite liked Pokemon Stadium.
