Pokemon RPG Coming to Wii?

October 21, 2007

Pokemon TrainerIf you were at “E for All” last week you might have encountered a certain Pokemon Company developer who stated that they are working on an RPG Pokemon title for the Wii. No details have been released about this new game so we do not know if it will be a new region of the Pokemon world or based in one of the existing regions.

Long Time Pokemon players will note that the Game Cube Pokemon games did not introduce any new Pokemon but were both placed in the same region, a region where wild Pokemon were extremely rare.

Some people have been speculating a remake of the Johto based games for the DS since before Pokemon Diamond and Pearl were released. I would love to see the Jhoto games remade for the DS. I greatly enjoyed the Leaf Green and Fire Red remakes for the GBA so who knows.

This Pokemon Company developer also stated that the reason there has not been a Pokemon RPG game on the Wii yet is due to Nintendo’s desire to focus on the community aspects of Pokemon. The new DS games have brought this to the for front with Internet battling and trading. Just take a quick look at our forum and you will see what I mean. The secondary reason has been that Nintendo wanted to keep the line on their most popular platform; the portables.

Many gamers were disappointed (myself included) at the lack of an RPG in the recently released Pokemon Battle Revolution game for Wii. If Nintendo makes up for this by releasing a new Pokemon RPG game for the Wii I will be happy.

Could this possibly be the 3rd version of the D/P generation of games? (ie Crystal/Emerald)?

That would be insanely good with some unlockables that involved DS interaction or something. I mean there is sooo much they could to with DS/Wii interaction and have it affect gameplay.

Amirite?

Yeah i think that it would be a good idea to introduce an ‘anytime release’ pokemon system,where the player can release a pokemon even outside of a battle and take control of it,ie,uses it’s abilities to overcome obsticals and use broad evasions,attacks and use of enviromentss in battles,eg, climb up a tree.I’m looking forward to it.
