Obviously Nintendo needs a new game to make Pokemon popular again, but simply making a new Pokemon handheld game isn't enough. Nor would a glorified Pokemon Stadium version for Gamecube be any good either.

Players want a 3D world in which they can interact with and catch their Pokemon. They also want to be able to interact with other players over the internet. Multiplayer is the key word here.

Most likely, the Pokemon game for Gamecube will be compatible for the GBA, so you can be pretty sure that any changes made to the battle system will stop at the GBA. Perhaps new stats will be added, giving each pokemon a different accuracy rating? Resistance to poisons? It would make the game more interesting... making each pokemon a viable choice instead of the good-okay-bad ratings we put them into.

The main difference between GBA and Gamecube versions is probably going to be the graphics. But we still don't know if the new Pokemon game for Gamecube will be a Stadium remake or a game within itself... I'm sure most fans would prefer the latter.

From a marketing point of view adding more Pokemon would make more money, but it could also flood the market with too many Pokemon 300-352??

By the way, I'm wondering why no-one ever thought of making a Battle based Pokemon MUD?
Most of the MUD's I've come across focus on role-playing instead of collecting Pokemon, they don't even use the proper battle formulae! I thought a MUD would be an effective way of being able to capture and raise Pokemon over the net since we have all the information we need to make an exact replica of the game. People already battle in chat rooms so adding the catching and raising of their Pokemon would be more rewarding than just typing in the stats you want.

I'm just surprised nobody has ever tried it, or maybe they have an nintendo shut them down???

Anyway that's the end of my loooong rant.

Rather than me try to give you the spiel why not just head over there.

I mean Neverwinter nights has been in development for years now with hundreds of people on their staff and I think that game is less complicated than Bulba's POL.
I'd say it would take 10 years for one person alone to do something like that.

No offense to Koni though.

The story would be like the show -you travel and interact in a huge 3D-world together with other trainers, and battle them, make friends with them and stuff. Some places would have certain weekly events you could attend to get cash and /or items. The game wouldn't really have a story though, but sometimes stuff could happen, like Team rocket taking over the town you're in and you'll need to cooperate with others people in the town to get rid of them. Or why not let people pay as TR? One "good" and one "bad" team!

Nintendo officials have seen the site and okayed his project. We have gyms already set up, and there are also rumors about a future 3-D version.

By the way, have Nintendo officials seen the Azure PBS (Or any other PBS, for that matter)?
