Pokémon Pearl/Diamond predictions

Post by Pikachu3828 »

Pokémon Pearl/Diamond are the next two games in the Pokémon RPG video game series. They are reported to be for the Nintendo DS, Nintendo's next generation handheld gaming system.

I was wondering what people think Pokémon Pearl/Diamond are going to be like, considering the power of the Nintendo DS over the Gameboy Advance. The Nintendo DS can fully handle 3D graphics now, and has a touch screen. How do you think Gamefreak (presuming they're the ones creating Pearl and Diamond) will utilise these features? Or perhaps they won't, like Ruby/Sapphire? Neither of those really pushed the GBA, which was dissapointing.

What would really be cool, in my opinion, is a fully 3D Pokémon world where you control your character in 3rd person, much like Pokémon Colosseum, but with better graphics, I don't like Colosseum's cartoony style on some of the characters :?

Proper sound would be nice, I don't know about the DS' audio system, but some more, "realistic" Pokémon sounds would be nice while walking through patches of wild grass and such.

How would they utilise the touch screen, though? And how are we going to capture the existing Pokémon in the new games? I've heard the DS can play GBA games, but can the DS and GBA connect? (Actually, can the DS and GC connect :?: )

GBA-DS is not compatible. I'd say it should use the pen the control the user and Pokemon should make real anime sounds. I also think we should have a option to choose what launage you want to choose. I also think the FR Pokedex should come back with a brand new look

I hope the touch screen does many things including the menu which could work and be quicker to do item stuff and save.

But where would you launch the menu, unless the top screen is useless and the bottom screen is split into 2 parts

Actually you can play GBA games on the DS, but anyways, I think that the menu will probably be on the top screen and the bottom screen will have character control.

Maybe the top screen could be for the main game and the bottom screen would be for options and what not. Like in battles, the top screen could show the battle and the bottom screen would show the commands.

I think the top screen will be the game. The bottom might be like 2- Player things. Maybe...

I would like to see more weather conditions like a thunder storm or a heat wave type of weather condition.

Maybe you control your pokemons movements with the touch screen but not likely.

I hope there's no touch screen commands. I like to use the contral pad.
