No, for it to be a Stadium game, it needs to be basically the same or enhanced mechanics of everything from the previous game, otherwise, it's not part of the loop.
And if that's really your best argument, then PBR was basically "Stadium 3".
Seriously. Just a name. No value.
Yeah it does, you're wrong face it.
Bigger men then you have tried.
And not every Sonic game changes drastically.
From game to game? No. In leaps? Absolutely. Are you really going to try and argue that SA/SA2/Heroes/Shadow/'06 weren't tremendously drastic changes from Sonic/2/3/&K? Really?
Sonic GBA games have the same gameplay as the Gensis games, making the characters run very fast, fly, or glide around the level as the Gensis games do.
Who's talking about the Advance titles? I sure wasn't.
You're basically saying just because Sonic runs fast in all his 2D with simlar mechanics and art work so they all count as one, right?
Basically, yes, which leads us to your next point, such as it is...
So Sonic 4 isn't Sonic 4 now because it's now in 3D with a bit of 2D. Sonic CD was Sonic 3 because it was released after Sonic 2 with similar mechanics to Sonic 1 through 3 because Sonic ran fast and had power ups? Sonic and Knuckles was Sonic 5 because it was after Sonic "4" (which I'll call it Sonic 3 "4" in your case) because it was simlar in all ways to previous games? And Sonic Advance 1, 2 and 3 were Sonic 6, 7 and 8 in your mind because they are 2D and have the same gameplay as Sonic 1, 2 and 3 but a little different?
If you want to make that case, sure. Proves my point even better, actually. Names are largely meaningless and do not in and of themselves promise (or, in the interest of equality, deny) that anything will or will not be included in the games. Sonic CD was basically "Sonic 1.5/2.5", as far as its makeup is concerned: the "CD" suffix was born of the need to advertise in the title that it was a game for Sega's super-modern and disc-based Sega CD platform.
They used the title "Sonic 4" because it gets the point - that the game is supposed to be the literal and spiritual successor to Sonic 3/& Knuckles - across a whole lot better than naming it "Sonic the Hedgehog Game That Looks and Plays a Heck of a Lot like Sonic the Hedgehog 3", which I imagine is rather difficult to fit on a title screen.
And you're also saying every 3D Sonic game are all different adventures because they have different mechanics? Because they "continued" a line of being 2D and with the same mechanics as before? All a big N-O. Sonic Adventure through Shth are the same storyline, but with different mechanics, but Heroes and Shth are not Adventure games because they play nothing like the Adventures and aren't named Adventure games. It all comes down to what the game makers decide.
I never said any of this. This entire bit is you somehow grossly misunderstanding my point, perhaps purposely, given your puzzling hostility and anger that someone dares question this sacred yet mistaken notion you've carried around with you for goodness knows how long.
They decided to call Colosseum it's name, not Stadium 3 because it was not like it's ancestor and wasn't it a Stadium game. So in your opinion the creators would have called Pokemon XD Colosseum 2 because it was the same mechanics as Colosseum down to the storyline and battles and sending out "critters", but is it Colosseum 2?
Again, I don't know why, but you're proving my point more so than you are yours. If names were as important as you mistakenly believe they are, why
didn't they name XD "Colosseum 2", hm? For that matter, if names are as important as you say, why are the Stadium titles basically the only place in the entire franchise where they've elected to use numerals to indicate sequels?
If Colosseum was truely was a Stadium 3, they would have called it that
See above. XD is a direct and unarguable sequel to Colosseum and yet it makes no reference to that fact in its title.
Game creators > your opinion on it being Stadium 3.
And if you are really choosing to engage in this fallacy as part of your argument, go find me somewhere where someone in a position of power has echoed what you're saying here, i.e. "Colosseum is most definitely
not Stadium 3 and we definitely still plan to title a future game 'Pokémon Stadium 3'." Because that's what your argument is predicated on, entirely.
Stop trying to seem right. You're so wrong on this one. LMAO. And if you try do go against this, you're just sad. Creators win, not you and your tiny opinions. I got to go.
Try this tactic if you must. I don't recommend it. I can play this game as long as you can, boopsie.
