Surprised no one has started a thread on this yet.

Most parents limit their children's access to the internet - it's the same reason you don't see many topics discussing LazyTown or Barney The Friendly Dinosaur.

I was hoping they'd still use the iconic third-person overhead perspective. The graphics don't look impressive so hopefully they'll improve it.

Pokemon games are an exception. A lot of people played older versions as kids and continue to buy new versions as they're released. The games may be aimed at kids but even adults can enjoy them.

Man, the good games were Blue, Red, and Yellow. Then they came out with an ass-load of pokemon. The original 150 (151 with Togepi) was awesome. Then it became silly.

gold and silver were my favorite, 2nd gen had a lot of good pokemon ... then everything after that just became trying too hard .. oh, and fighting fire, WAY too many of those now adays

I must be old, I thought Pokemon was a cartoon/role playing card game for 3-6 year olds,,

I think the game been in 3D ruins it, looks very tacky and doesn't feel like a Pokemon game at all from watching the video of it.

Pokemon is like Sonic and Worms, just stick to your roots which is 2D.

There have been a few 3d pokemon games (mostly for the 64). Such as pokemon Snap and the battle arena one.

Indeed i had Pokemon Colosseum for the GameCube years ago, didnt really think it worked in 3D. Could just be me but i always found part of the appeal was it was 2D i guess.

I'm glad to see they're finally moving to a proper fully 3d world. After 15+ years of being stuck in the 90s style 2d topdown, it's very long overdue. Also it's really nice to finally see animated and 3d battles.

Finally release a 3D Pokemon game that has been long over-due and they release it on the damn 3DS?... Well, looks like I'll have to buy a 3DS, which is exactly what they want me to say :(. You used to be cool, Nintendo!

Of course it's for the 3ds. A main series pokemon game is highly unlikely to ever appear on a console. This game also wouldn't happen on the ds likely due to the limitations of the hardware.

I liked (and expected) the direct stream.. Had big smiles on my face when I saw the version intro's one by one knowing full well it was a soft let down to DS owners that this would be a 3ds exclusive :)

It looks awesome, I actually like the grainy 3d look as its a throw back to the old art style. I'm hoping they make it a little more interactive with online play. It'd be nice to have a few hub cities where randoms can hang and battle and maybe even take the pokemon league to another level with some online features!

      Opinion. All you did was blame Democrats for everything. You offered nothing but a hit piece to support your pro Trump, anti union right wing ideology.

      By the sounds of that wall of Fox News propaganda gibberish attacking the Democratic Party you've already had plenty of "juices" flowing this morning. You've ruined what could have been a productive comment thread.
    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! * One additional problem corporations have that I also do not sympathize with is they don't want to pay to train their American employees. They could easily do so, but would rather not have to pay for it. I find that pathetic, actually. It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.
