Unless you're perfectly happy with the same plot, the same fights, the same battle system, the same pokemon with different names. In which case by all means by this game.

But if you want something different, do not buy. DO NOT WANT, the worst thing about this game is the pokemon named Bidoof, which is a Rattata with a bad case of Piles

The music is abysmal, your pokemon can still only learn 4 moves, nothing has changed.


So again, do not buy.
 
You're telling us this now? I think we already got the message in Gold and Silver, so bit pointless telling us now :P. Gameplay is awesome on this, the story is really poor. Pokemon storylines aren't always super, but this was the weakest one ever.
 
Gold and Silver was a bit of a change to red and blue, it had just the right amount of pokemon, and you could visit Kanto, beat the shit out of Ash and Gary, and the graphics weren't too bad for the time.

They have to be my favourite of the pokemon series, but this is terrible I expected better. It was meant to be good and for the DS. This thing might as well be released on GBC.
 
I was disappointed. I love Fire Red, and I love Crystal. I wish they'd re-make Gold/Silver/Crystal for the D.S. ¬_¬ It's not a terrible game, but Fire Red/Leaf Green is miles better. I agree... It's bareable, and playing online is fun, but it's gone down-hill.
 
This game wouldn't have blown whale cock if you could change you character's appearance and get all the badges an' shit. As Finn stated, being able to go to the other countries made Gold and Silver win.
 
I doubt it. Not until they stop making money. The bigger companies often do ruin popular series/films/games and what was loved by adding and adding and adding until there's nothing to gain. Until fans become tired and quit being fans. They ruin good memories to make money. They ruin good stories to make money. Basically, so long as money is made, they'll ruin anything they create. Shrek 3 anyone? (Or was I the only one who really didn't like it? :P)

Maybe this will mark the end of Pokémon? :O

To be honest, I think it is kind of hinted in the game that this could be the final generation as the legendary Arceus is suppose to be the creator of all. It is the highest level wild Pokemon (Level 80) and statistically the strongest Pokemon. In my opinion that is a hint that this could be the final generation of Pokemon.

And regards to Bidoof. Here is another joker new to the generation IV.

Probopass or also known as the Jew Pokemon. The evolved form of the then worse idiotic Pokemon, Nosepass.
 
Nu-uh, it becomes a slut once it evolves. <3

Look at those smooth rounded shapes and vibrant colors. It's just raring for some "breeding."
 
So much for the pokemon franchise, first nothing changes, then it comes with a wii game that you practically NEED diamond or pearl to play with.... It can be said that if they don't at least CHANGE the tedious a mashing sequence at the beggining, pokemon will go puff in a matter of seconds

... btw Bidoof should've never seen the light of day

I myself am a pokemon fan... well was... I have pearl =D

The plot is much better than the last games. And plot isn't even supposed to be a very big part of Pokemon, or any Nintendo games in general.

the same fights,

Try wi-fi battles, noob.

Which is why people buy the games in the first place- cause the battle system is awesome.

I'll just ignore this embarrassing comment.

DO NOT WANT,

Whoop de frigging do. Your opinion will have ZERO affect on the millions of people who do want this game, so all you managed to do was waste your time creating this thread in the first place.

Get Pearl instead, because Palkia > Dialga.

And when Porygon2 evolves, it becomes retarded.

As you can see his tail is where his legs should be and to the fact that he is technically dacapitated. And he also has a dickhead.
 
Palkia is boring. Dialga is like 17ft tall, and a steel/dragon poke.

The plot is really dull in this, the best plot probably comes from Ruby/Sapphire. This game brings along with it useful Poketch devices, such as the Berry Status Checker. You have the ability to get trade only Pokemon - Machamp, Alakazam via GTS - though GTS can be abused, if you don't know of anyone who can give you a certain Pokemon, you may find it on GTS! You can get friends codes, and trade over wifi, and have battles with people in different countries too!
You can take part in digging, grow spheres to get bigger places for your secret base, and come across that get in your way.

To say this is a let down in the series is a bit stupid, but then non Pokemon fans wouldn't understand that would they.

Go, beat gym leaders, defeat team galactic (lack of imagination there, Team Rocket and Team Galactic, who would've thunk it)

I would if people I had enough decent DS games to get a Wifi plug in, but I don't and this is one of the not decent enough to persuade me to buy one.

Can't argue with that, but the amount of moves allowed could've been increased to something higher. And what if I want to use Water Gun once I forgot it for something stronger? Surely the pokemon could still know Water Gun, the game had so much potential but it failed itself.

I'll just ignore this embarrassing comment.

Please try harder, You're telling me a Bidoof is not the Rattata of this game and Starly isn't just a grey pidgey. (Pigeon-y, Starling-y, man they sure do think real hard about new ideas). A Budew is not a recycled Oddish?

Wurmple is not a more spiky Caterpie?

Glameow isn't a Meowth with a bigger tail? I could go on, but I won't

You honestly think I planned to boycott this game and tell everyone to NOT buy this game? I was merely making a thread about how not so great this game is and how incredibly overrated it is, and you've just wasted your time replying in an attempt to belittle a mini-review of this game.

Tyrannitar > All, no competition there.
 
GTS is kind of crap. Most of the people keep searching for level 9 and under Mews so they can exploit the cloning glitch. Despite how crap I think it is, I have managed to get 2 Palkias, 4 Kyogres, 2 Cresselias, 2 Uxies, Mew and Mesprit all off GTS with not as valuable Pokemon like Arcanine, Toxicroak, Mothim, Vespiquen etc (Although most of these are probably hacked - if not, all).
 
Aggron is equally as awesome as Tyrannitar.
 
What about Blastoise - he is the bomb too. Articuno also. 8D
