Yes, a million times yes if they could do it right.

Like smash brothers brawl? :D

I've been dreaming of this since the N64 days. Exactly what Christiangamer described. A console Pokemon game that plays pretty much like the handheld ones, but the actual combat is like that of an action RPG, like the Tales series. Each button has one of the Pokemon's four attacks mapped to it.

I'd be more interested in being a Jigglypuff and beating the shit out of all those huge pokemon.

Definitely, but then as Devil Summoner 2 just released in the US last week I guess it already exists?

I think anything that would get the pokemon to be more animated would be a plus. They're so damn stoic, I've never understood how people have found that entertaining.

I would like a more mature pokemon game, not necessarily blood and gore, but a more seroius story maybe chronicling the days that pokemon and humans fought alongside each other. Maybe a Pokemon World War kind of thing.

Even as a kid, in the TV show I always wondered how all the pokemon survived on "berries" and human made pokemon food.

There had to be some pokemon out there eating eachother. Where are all the half eaten corpses. Where are the scenes of multiple Evee hunting down and eating an unguarded Pigey?

Falinter:

There are Pokedex entries that suggest Pokemon kill and eat other Pokemon in the Wild.

I don't remember which, but they're there.

I have a more pressing question. Why hasn't Dtoid ever reviewed a Pokemon game? I have never, ever played one, and I would be interested to see what was said about one of the latest series' iterations. I know there are about 30 released a year, so why not pick one for the DS, since I'm on a huge DS kick right now.

How bout an action RPG with Pikachu as the main hero and give him a quest to find some legendary tree that holds the cure to some mystical plague but it seems that the berries of the tree were stolen by a shadowy figure who plans on whiping out all pokemon with their power.

mmmmmm next gen 3D full action rpg, build a trainer, catch a pokemon, then use the pokemon in a 3D arena where you can manually move the pokemon around and have attacks assigned to a button, think Tales of series battles, awesomness

I would really enjoy that if I was still 9 years old.

UGH motherfuckers don't ruin the formula!! I don't want to fucking BE a pokemon, I want to CONTROL THEM AND MAKE THEM DO MY BIDDING.

I'm totally serious. I don't want to play as the fuckers. that gives them too much fucking personality and would skew my perspecive when i play a regular pokemon game.
anybody agree?

Only if it is a SPINOFF and follows the Drill Dozer formula of creative platforming stunts.

I thought the Pokemon Trainer parts of Brawl's Subspace Emissary could be expanded into a really cool side-scrolling action game.

I liked the Mystery Dungeon games so maybe this could have a chance.

hmm i dont know about the action but MMO thats a given i think any person would play a pokemon MMO game

A Pokemon version of Space Station Silicon Valley would be rather wizard

Back when I was little, I always wondered why all the battles in the cartoon were so awesome compared to the games...they should make a game where the battle system allows you to do all the stuff they do in the cartoons. Or at least a battle system that's more then "Squirtle used bubblebeam! It's super effective! Geodude fainted!" ad nauseum.

And, of course, the aforementioned PokeMMO still needs to show up one day...

I really love the pokemon series as a whole. And I think a good action game would be good. But they'd have to do it right, and not release it on the Wii...
But I guess whatever is made with the Pokemon Brand on it, loads of Pokefans will buy the game just for the hell of buying something which is 'Pokemon'. I mean, I'd be one of those people. :3

i would tatally play this, mmo or not. actually mmo if done well, and not on the wii, maybe wii hd cuz i wanna be able to not just use moves in battle, but kinda like the show where u can use them out of battle to solve problems or watever like u need to turn a whole bunch of knobs at the same time, use psychic and target multiple things and then turn in god of war style problem solving. and in battle use things in the envirnment, like lets say say your bulbasaur and you see a stick in the forest, pick it up with vine whip and toss it using the wii mote, or psychic pickup the pokemon and toss it in the sky, or if your in the arctic melt the ice with fire, turn it to a water stadium like in the show, that way strategy becomes a component. the possibilities are endless. also, huge cities, over a thousand pokemon, mayb a space program and all the territories so far make up a continent, have like three atleast 40 hours of game play not including catching everything and all the puzzles and whatnot and catching a pokemon could be tossing a ball with the wii mote, u could assign items to buttons to not slow down the game, fishing would be sick, and flying or swimming would be epic, imagine in air battles! also riding a bike would make me s**t with joy :) also seeing pokemon coming to battle you, then just peacing with your pokemon, laughing ur a**es off. i could go on forever, but my looking foreward, is walking around in 3d, in new envirnoments, maybe a desert arctic, or even australia! some crazy possibilities come to mind. Airplanes would be almost neccessary! the story would have to be immense! all the goodies is almost making me cry mayo, im just so excitedgym battles and the elite four would be more like the show wiht the battle stadium being the online component where everyone online meets up for a yearly tournament with a minimum 20 badges or somethig (there'd well over 100 gyms) and just have a brawl like the original series. Online multiplayer, would make it almost an mmo without sacrificing grafics or speed for quality. just an idea, but i think a pretty good one.

also i need the orange islands
