You had me until Android/iOS. Would be infinitely better on a dedicated handheld, 'cause I ain't playin' no game frequently or consistently on some bullshit touchscreen.

Phones = Fruit Ninja and anything else that doesn't require more than about 30 seconds of time every month or so.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great idea, but there's no way I could get into it then.

Slide out PS pad.
Problem solved.

Or one of those joypads you can buy that attack to your phone. It's only the same effort attaching one of those things as whipping out your Vita/3DS...

But thinking about it, I don't think this idea would work.

Phone games = "apps". People don't really pay any more than £5 for an app (like that Mass Effect shite or that crappy Infinity Blade bullshit). So this would have to include Microtransactions which automatically excludes any serious gamers.

To be honest I'm sure there's games out there that are like that. There's that facebook game which is basically Pokemon in space but is a bit weird, and is very Facebook-y.

An always-online version of Pokemon isn't that bad of an idea, but I reckon it'd have to be an offline game, pokemon Stadium type, with an online mode that is regulated by Nintendo to avoid cheating and whatnot (like Rockstar does with RDR).

But the idea of the main pokemon releases ever leaving the Ninteno Handheld platforms is something that is a waste of time thinking about, because it's not gonna happen in a long time. They're one of the main reasons that millions purchase their handhelds and are a sure fire way of increasing sales, and stablising the console's game ecosystem. Consoles don't require this as much as they're not as much as a finicky market as consoles.

I'm sure if we all band together we can make an android app for this.... "UUDDEMON, Gotta Fight Em All"....

Dude, the Pokemon name itself would guarantee sales of at least a few million. Even priced at £9.99, they'd make millions with it. Have you seen some of the shit that sells now, just because of the name?

You could still include microtransactions, but make it so that they're not going to alienate other players. Like, if a Pokemon is KO'd, it takes 5 mins for him to come around. But, for the small price of whatever, you can insta-revive.

Are you saying that you'd never buy a specific kind of device that had another kind of functionality added to it that had just been tacked on as an afterthought and with no real consideration to how it would affect its use?

In that case, you'll never have used the online feature of the Wii/DS then, will ya?

The reason why it should be on iOS and Android is because that's >90% of the global smartphone market share, and not everyone wants to buy a handheld console. I'm not saying they should drop the 3DS, pokemans should just go multiplatform.

Ever emulated a Pokemon game on your phone before? Just as good of an experience as the handheld console would give.

@Terra - well played, son. :clap:

@Prof - The only time I've ever played Zelda: Links Awakening was on my Nokia NGage using an emulator... never had it on GB. Also played a little of Red on the same machine too.

But what's the endgame of that? Then when everyone's the same, there's no variation and no character to anything. There'd be no variety to anything and there'd be one choice. And that's what Nintendo are trying to avoid. Who'd buy a 3DS if Pokemon was on their phone instead? I think the sales would drop dramatically.

I like the idea of being able to choose different platforms and have a different experience with both. I like Pokemon being a 3DS exclusive, it makes the console shine a bit more.

Can't really remember what my point was. Bit bored now.

Even if Nintendo didn't keep updating the roster with new monsters, caves, quests, etc, the fact that there would always be a different champion, and even a different gym champion for every gym, the game would constantly be changing.

You really don't need an end-game scenario to a game that harbors enough content to last you 500+ hours just from NPC content, excluding the opportunities you have to interact with other players. If they really wanted to take the game further, they could put the level cap at 250 and scale NPC opponent levels based on your levels.

And yes, I agree that 3DS sales would drop, but I think Pokemon game sales would increase equal or greater. Balance.
