Hah, getting into stall wars and prediction wars and switch wars is insane. I've had battles where they laste very long from stalling and switching.

I guess you have rto really play the game to know how hard it is.

That is why you have ICE BEAM!

Does the pokemon card game count? My nephew let me borrow the GB cartrige the other day.....

This was after I swam around in my money bin and slapped around my imigrant workers for asking for food. FEH! *skoff*

Don't psychic pokémon pwn in the original?

I just have been switching between fighting and water pokemon.

Machamps seismic slam looks bannanas. It basicaly drops a globe onto your oponents pokemon, complete with a couple of continents breaking off and shifting to the bottom. Best attack evars.

My Kadabra was getting one hit kills on just about everything by the end of the game. It was silly.

12.78 million people bought Ruby/Sapphire actually. It's the best selling game this generation (outselling even the mighty GTA3 and Vice City). The main Pokemon series (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Fire Red & Leaf Green) has sold a staggering 91 million units to date. It beats out both Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy as the best selling RPG series of all time. In fact, it beats them combined.

i appreciate you throwing a bunch of numbers out but havnt all these games been the same thing with a different cast of monsters each time? the thread subtitle is right. this shit is so beyond milked.

Yea, Psychic Pokemon were really strong in the first games. I remember building a godly Mewtwo and breezing through Pokemon Stadium.

But I think the problem with Pokemon (as I remember it) is that main game is simply not enough challenging and does not reward wasting all the time spent on developping new combinations / teams / builds. Dueling is another story but as you guys mentionned, the real action is online and not inside the actual Pokemon games.

An online Pokemon Stadium / Colosseum would certainly make lots of money, and yet Nintendo has claimed so far that it can't make money with online games. A simple "matching service" would do the trick, and a "game based" online world like Diablo 2 would totally rock!

I guess Nintendo only wants to use online gaming as another way to make money instead of offering its as an extra benefit to cater to the needs of (mainly) the hardcore consumer base.

people still buy this shit?
