It took 1 1/2 years and 180 programmers and contributors to develop this game. I doubt the scenario mode is just "thrown in."

But how long is it? I guess that's my prime factor. That and the fact that i don't have the GBA games to import any pokemon with, so can i still play it?
I want Pokemon Chartreuse GC, where i can start from the beginning and play a full 40+ hr game without a GBA.
everyone knows the coloseum games were cash runs, why keep the name if this is a full featured rpg?
I should go read a preview or something...
You can play the RPG, it comes with all it's own pokemon and I don't think you can import any into the RPG mode.Quote:

As far as I know, the RPG mode makes hereto unobtainable Pokemon finally available. Certain Pokemon such as those created exclusively for some of the movies, as well as ones created specifically for the e-Reader CCG (Sandstorm and Dragon expansions).Quote:

for some reason wehn i first read this, i thought he said hetero-unobtainable, which i thought marked another turining point for pokemon fans everywhere, just think of the ads, pokemon colosseum:making the gc more hetero friendly :lol: need to stop taking cough med when i dont have a cold.Quote:

If it is indeed a full RPG, then I will have to get it. I love the GBA Pokemons, mainly because they don't try so hard to be RPGs. I have little time and patience for text-heavy, menu-ridden traditional RPGs, and the Pokemon games are a refreshing change of pace.
It makes me happy to have a new GC game to buy come out of the blue. Animal Crossing was the same way for me.
read igns preview and it doesn't sound that promising to me
You can't just go capture some pokemon either, you only get new pokemon by stealing the dark ones.Quote:
Our initial playtest of the import suggested that this mode would be rather basic on the RPG-side of things, and having gotten all the way through it now, we can confirm that this is the case. The adventure mode is a completely linear quest, meant mostly to put one-on-one battles against various computer-driven opponents in some sort of story context. It has the features you'd expect of an RPG, including story sequences, a world map, towns and even maze-like dungeons, but don't expect Pokemon meets Square-Enix here.
Outside of only being able to steal the dark ones, that wrte-up sounds like every other Pokemon game, ever. It's never been overtly complex. Just nice and simple, capture the Pokemon, train them, and kick some ass.
Even still, I'm really looking forward to the game.
I have nothing to say about this except fuck you Nintendo for choosing a name that 95% of the internet will misspell.
