Say what you may about the 3DS now, but...

[Fawcks]

... We all know you're all going to buy one when the new Pokemon comes out.

You have no other choice.

 

[Sassafrass]

I'll be too busy playing Angry Birds on Google Chrome.
Or Skyrim.
Or MW3.
Or Saints Row 3.
Or Batman.
Or ME3.
Or FF XIII-2.
Or FFX.

OK, I'm not gonna go on, but you get the picture here.

God, makes me wonder why kids haven't spent years of their life sobbing that Steam tells all their little friends how long they've spent playing Team Fortress 2, since that's a million times worse than anything the 3DS has done and people are acting as if it destroyed freedom and turned the US into a communist society.

 

[D Moness]

I am not.

I was always bored by generic turn based JRPG's, and Pokemon has never been an exception. Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI are exceptions.

Super Mario 3DS has caught my eye, but thus far it's the only game that isn't a remake that is worth buying the system for. And that isn't enough for me.

well in europe "Tales of the abyss" was never released until now on the 3ds. So it might be a remake most european players will play it for the first time.

Playing that game is to worth the price of the ds(also that i like 9 out of the 10 gba games the early adopters got works as well).

 

[Scrustle]

Nope. I'm done with Pokemon unless they do something totally mind blowing and revolutionary with it, which isn't going to happen.

I'm not European, though. I have no interest in Tales of the Abyss, but if I did I have a PS2. As for GBA games? I have an emulator, a DS, a GBA, a local Gamestop, and an internet connection. If I want any of those games, there are a plethora of cheaper ways to get them.

No offence but figured you were not interested in tales, it wasn't to convince you to buy it(i mean i dislike it myself when people tell me what i should like or what not).
I just wanted to point out for european players Tales of the abyss is the first time they can play it (importers not counted) so for them that kind of game can be seen as a system seller.

 

[Soxafloppin]

No, I will not.

I'm not fussed on Gaming on the move and I don't see the point in getting a handheld if the only place I like gaming is the house.

 

[DasDestroyer]

No, I am not. I played Sapphire a long time ago and enjoyed it. All the other pokemon games I tried, I got bored of instantly, because they are all pretty much the same. You beat one, you beat all. So why should I buy a crappy system with a game, for the sole purpose of playing that game, if I've already beaten it, and it has no inherent replay value?

 

[McMarbles]

No I'm not.

I'm going to buy one when the Tales of the Abyss port comes out.

Same here. I love Ocarina of Time, but I already have it on the Wii and it's not a game I want to play on a handheld (I tend to have game types that I prefer on handhelds and others that I prefer on home consoles). So Super Mario 3DS was the first game I wanted for the 3DS.

I can't for the life of me figure out why they rushed the 3DS out like they did. Its library even a year after its release will still be weaker than most consoles' release lineups. And they're making that second analog stick peripheral.

 

[krazykidd]

No i am not , haven't played pokemon since diamond and pearl , i used to play those competitively and i wasn't too bad . Anyways unless pokemon does somthing completly revolutionary ( like a pokemon MMO) i shall never touch it again .

 

[Epona]

Every time I entertain the idea of buying a 3DS I remember that a redesign is coming and I decide against it.

After the redesign, I will reconsider and I might even say yes.

 

[Fawcks]

God, makes me wonder why kids haven't spent years of their life sobbing that Steam tells all their little friends how long they've spent playing Team Fortress 2, since that's a million times worse than anything the 3DS has done and people are acting as if it destroyed freedom and turned the US into a communist society.

Here's the thing, though. Team Fortress 2 came out in 2007, and it isn't much like most other multiplayer shooters. Well, OK, it's similar in many respects, but there are a good number of things it does very well that no other shooter does. Plus, y'know, it's really really damned fun if you enjoy that sort of thing. And like hats.

Pokemon came out in the mid '90s, and several games have come out since then that feature better graphics and, in the case of the recently released DS version, a handful of new combat features. But ultimately it's the same thing. Start out as kid, do a bunch of turn based battles with pets, get better pets by doing more turn based battles, beat the people with the best pets, rinse, repeat. If you like this sort of thing, fine, but there is a very good reason that it's dropping out of popularity. It got boring for a good number of people.

It doesn't help that other, newer JRPG's have been released since then that deliver better stories and more interesting things to do than obsessively compulsively gather the largest superpowered pet collection in the world.

Oh, and TF2 is free and can run decently on many different computers.

What?

What are you even on about?

 

[Rednog]

Nope.
I find pokemon to be the pinnacle of Nintendo's greed. Seriously people ***** and moan about how omg there is another CoD game out and that everyone who likes it are stupid sheep. And yet Nintendo rolls out with another pokemon game that has very little changes, besides a few new bells and whistles with each iteration, and it is declared as a gift sent from the heavens. On top of that they have the gall to release two version of the same game.

Seriously why are people still buying into this nonsense of two versions of the game? It was utter crap when they did it in the beginning with red/blue and it still continues?!
This isn't a case of we don't have the memory to fit in all the different pokemon, its a terrible tactic of milking fans for their money.

If any other game pulled a stunt like this everyone would be getting their pitch forks and torches and bashing the game to death. But since it is Nintendo and Pokemon its ok.

Why would I? I've already got one.
