It's not at all like Stadium actually. There a decent plot, and how you catch and collect Pokémon is heavily changed. There's multiplayer battling and all, but that's really not the focus of the game.

Nintendo's consoles could use a little culture, and a vibrant albeit money-sucking MMO community could be the shortcut to installing some. Like the wild west, but with more gold farmers.

Oopsie. I missed that.

Well, you guys are scared. I'm having a wonderful time full of change and carpe diem. Things can only get better. Video games being an escapist medium, it feels a bit blue to attribute the current post-apocalyptic zombie obsession to real life.

HEY-U!!!

It's a risky franchise to MMO-fy. Peeps get connected with their Pokémon, go on ultimate quests to become the very best, and it'd be harder to do either of those things in such a social environment.

Not patches, expansions, and the like. You'd need a hard drive if you wanted to make a full blown MMO.

This is Game Freak, they don't tend to screw up their Pokémon games. Nintendo itself doesn't actually have that much creative control over the Pokémon games.

I feel like you were the same "genius" who suggested there be an Elder Scrolls MMO.

What do you mean? Wii U supports any USB external hard drive.

This would be interesting. What if Nintendo opened the floodgate to FTP MMOs? MMOs aren't my thing but I'd definitely try it out. It would show that Nintendo is becoming "hip" to online practises. Someday?

They were being sold at a loss even before the $300 price cut.

Can't you increase the size of the text? Vector fonts, yeah?

Not too stupid. I like not being able to see the pixels, on anything.

That's one thing Apple does right. I mean, I still hate the company and the brand. I'm not going soft on you guys, but I really think high-density screens is the way to go.

*hug*

Way to say I meant something that I never said. I like completing games, true, but by no means does my enjoyment of a game hinge on its completion. Achievements don't mean much to me since I play games for the quality of the content, but that doesn't mean I don't get annoyed when a game pads out shitty content.

Well, would you count the GBA as a console? Also, would you count GB, GBC, and GBA as separate generations? 'Cuz the GBA did all three.

I dropped about that amount of time into Fallout 3 too, but not for the trophies. I played it 'cuz the game was fun, not 'cuz some to-do list told me to keep playing. If you were having fun, why would you have stopped playing without a trophy list?

I'd compromise on having the architecture to support trophies but not necessarily making them mandatory. Just leave the decision to have trophies up to the developers. It pleases no one completely, and that's usually the mark of a decent compromise.
