[QUOTE="Minishdriveby"][QUOTE="sk8ter33157"][QUOTE="Minishdriveby"][QUOTE="sk8ter33157"] This goes in line with my other post about how Nintendo just doesn't listen. I've been hearing about people wanting a 3d pokemon adventure for years now. No dice. I don't know where Jasonguy is getting all of this "for any of Nintendo's franchises you need both a handheld and a console to get the full experience." I don't know if he means you need both to play all releases in a franchise or you dont get the full potential from your games unless you buy the handheld and console versions (which isnt true...Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy etc had no handheld counterpart). sk8ter33157
To fully enjoy any Nintendo series (story wise at least) you need both.
Mario has New Super Mario Bros.
Zelda has Phantom Hour glass
Metroid has Metroid 2, Metroid Fussion, and Zero Mission, and I guess Metroid Prime Hunters. But I think the title should be Prime Hunters because of the lack of Metroids. 2 of those games are main games in the series.
He wasnt talking about a particular game he was talking about Nintendo franchises.
Plus nintendo can't make a good pokemon console game if they were to make a new console pokemon game I would want pokemon snap 2 the original was the best pokemon game on any console.
Thats not true at all. Sure its true in SOME cases like Wind Waker has Phantom Hourglass, but Twilight Princess has no handheld partner. You don't need to play New Super Mario to enjoy Galaxy or vice versa. You can say the same about any series like Final Fantasy, God of War etc. Its an irrelevant point like most of Jaysonguys points
Did you even read what I said, to fully understand a SERIES STORY and enjoy that story, a series meaning the whole picture not one game. You need to play all the games. Now I know games like Mario don't have much of a story but it's still there. I never said anything about you need this game to enjoy another. I had a blast with Galaxy, I'm saying as a series not an individual game.
I've repeated that a couple of times just so it sticks. Series, series series, Storyline storyline storyline.
Take Metroid since you don't want to take the zelda and mario series into this. You don't need to play metroid 2 and 4 (which were released for handhelds) to enjoy metroid prime but it may help you understand a tiny bit more. Prime was a sub series though. But you see what I'm saying right? metroid 2 and 4 were the main series and were released for the handheld there fore if you wanted to go through and understand the main series thoroughly you would need both a console and a handheld.
Yea i understand your point but you clealry dont understand MINE. I was saying you can say the same thing for many different series and it shouldn't restrict a Pokemon adventure from appearing on a home console. Thats just ridiculous. Jaysonguy stated for ALL MAJOR nintendo franchises you need to play both versions. I simply said that was unture....you cant say that about Mario or even most of the Zeldas. Like I said it applies to SOME Nintendo franchies (he was making an untrue generalization) and other franchises as well. It doesnt apply to most Zeldas. Metroid is the only perfect example of this. I didnt disagree with the fact that certain series do require this, I was disagreeing with the generalization that all Nintendo franchises need both versions to be understood. You said ANY nintendo series....that is untrue and its a fact. Nintendo has even said that none of theZeldas except Wind Waker have any connection. Animal Crossing is another example. Pokemon is an even better example. Pokemon Snap didnt exactly add to the story, and each GBA release has a different story.
And I still dont see the reason this would hinder Pokemon from appearing on a console in adventure form. It would actually support his point that Nintendo stories appear on console and handheld. In a sense he contradticted himself.
AS of right now Pokemon only appears as a spinoff on the consoles. so really there is no story there except on the handhelds.
All the zeldas are connected and nintendo has said so. TP and WW take place in alternate timelines because of the events in OoT. And what about MM the direct sequel to OoT?
There are many references to gold and silver in D/P that you wouldn't know if you didn't play those games. So Even though Pokemon series have a different plot each time. The handhelds series still connect it in someways.
I wasn't really arguing about a pokemon game on the consoles other then the fact that when they try to make a 3D adventure it usually turns out very bad. Maybe if they make it like Zelda FSA it would work. My point was if you truely want to full experience and a full understanding you need to play all games in the series like (but not limited too) Zelda and Metroid which those games span across handhelds and consoles.
