I think speed isn't used in a good way. Goi...5. I think speed isn't used in a good way. Going first is definitely important, but it shouldn't come down to something as simple as just having one more point in the speed stat. The way speed is done in Digimon it is a lot more dynamic, meaning if you have a ton more speed it's better than if you just have one more speed. In Pokemon it's just either faster/not faster. I like the bit of complexity given to the speed stat in Digimon.<br /><br />4. I guess it comes down to whether you want it simple or a bit more complicated, it seems we have different opinions on this. A lot of the things I think Digimon does better is exactly adding a bit more depth to the game (also my point about the speed stat). Obviously if you don't want that, then Pokemon is pretty much fine the way it is. <br /><br />3. Pokewalker requires you to buy an extra item, Poke Amie didn't exist when this post was written (but I agree it's a step towards what I want, so GameFreak agreed with me I guess) and Daycare is exactly the opposite of raising your own pokemon, all you decide is what kind of egg should come out at the end. <br /><br />2. I realize the game is targeted towards younger children, I am fine with that, they need their games too. That's the way Pokemon is. This post is mostly about what Pokemon could become and make it more fun if it was targeted at an older audience/the people who grew up with Pokemon (like me).<br /><br />1. Sure thing, but I think most people agree that there are many Pokemon they'd forsake for the sake of having some more Charizard forms (cough Vanillite cough)<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I love Pokemon and I enjoy them a lot more than the Digimon games so clearly they're doing something right that Digimon isn't. That doesn't mean however that I think Pokemon is perfect and couldn't improve in some areas to make them even more fun for me and I thought Digimon had some cool ideas that could definitely work well in the Pokemon world.Zinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935881612077507321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272524169407806923.post-49631192347078308772015-05-06T10:27:33.354+02:002015-05-06T10:27:33.354+02:00There was no real variety in Digimon Dusk and Dawn...There was no real variety in Digimon Dusk and Dawn's metagame. Thanks to jogress, every Digimon could have any move. Stats all had the same caps, and weaknesses could be trained away. The only thing that had any baring where traits. There were a few good ones and a few broken ones, but overall, it made the metagame pretty samey. One single pokemon species might only have three viable strategies, but every single Digimon only had three viable strategies. I'm not saying Digimon couldn't have a good metagame, but I've yet to see one more robust than Pokemon's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272524169407806923.post-5679088155725030272015-05-06T10:20:41.484+02:002015-05-06T10:20:41.484+02:00God no.

Coupling going first with a good attack or status move literally makes or breaks tiers. Sableye, a NU tier pokemon shot up to OU by gaining an ability that made certain moves go first.<br /><br />4. They already have gear. They're called "hold items." Anything more than that just overcomplicates things.<br /><br />3.Pokewalker did it. Pokeamie did it. Daycare arguably did it. It's not a new idea you've proposed. I'd hate it if it was like Dusk/Dawn, however. Those sucked.<br /><br />2.Have you ever played another person...? Keep the main game simple. Remember children who can't even read yet play it, too.<br /><br />1.The smaller trees allow more consistency between families while maintaining variety. You get about a 100 pokemon per generation. Would you rather roughly 30-40 new families or 8-13? Sure, it sounds fun on paper: "What if Charizard had six alternate forms!" but those forms come at the expense of other families. Maybe bye-bye Arcanine, Dragonite, and Mewtwo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272524169407806923.post-23881399073467253952014-08-30T08:27:41.978+02:002014-08-30T08:27:41.978+02:00I haven't given the Digimon series/movies a pr...I haven't given the Digimon series/movies a proper look but what little I've seen I feel like it holds a greater quality than the average Pokemon movie/episode, which quite frankly aren't that great.<br />Interesting, I do have Digimon World 1 for the PSX but I haven't given it a proper try yet.

IMO Digimon is better overall, when it comes to the show and games, all tho i think pokemon has a better quality if you take all the seasons/movies together. But whatever. <br />What i wanna say is: Digimon world DS is prolly one of the less good digimon games, you should try Digimon world 1 and 3 for PSX if you haven't already.

Obviously balancing would be a pain in the ass, but I am sure it could be done. Digimon deserves a lot more recognition than it's gotten, it has many game play elements that are really good.

It's no longer seeing a pokemon and just guessing which of the two or three strategies the player is using it for. With Digimon, just because we both have an Agumon doesn't mean we're going to utilize him in the same way. Completely different methods and chains means that there's a near infinite amount of strategy available. All they need is one serious game on the 3DS, advertise the hell out of it (Digimon World DS didn't do well because of lack of brand recognition) and watch as people realize how limited Pokemon really is. Plus with the whole "Digital World" location, they can make as many different locations as they want for any reason (the digital world in the anime isn't set in stone). There's also the issue with introducing new species. The digital world is a program that expands and changes, creating new monsters as it goes. Plus the Digimon designs in general are more epic and inventive than Pokemon IMO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272524169407806923.post-61376918220167496462013-09-05T18:52:32.435+02:002013-09-05T18:52:32.435+02:00I agree especially about the battling.

Don't you think it would be fun to battle the elite four in multi battles instead of 1st pokemon... 2nd pokemon... 3rd pokemon... 4th pokemon... 5th pokemon... 6th pokemon... YOU WIN BUT NOW YOU HAVE TO DO THIS 4 MORE TIMES XD<br />It would defiantly make it a whole lot more interesting if you could just battle with two at once Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
