anyone eles mad that you can link with the past games?

[Ryoku]

I want there to be a another divide. I mean, it just seems like unfair to the new players, and also, id like there to be an divide now, seeing as we are entering a new system, and portable device.

(i know most will disagree, however, everyone is entitled to there own opinions on the forms)

 

[Absodin]

i really doubt there r new pokemon players. i meen y woold sum 1 get Diamond n pearl if they never played like a couple games before

 

[Omega Pirate]

I think being able to time travel is an awesome idea. When they changed from GB to GBC there was no divide.

Is there a particular reason for you to prefer a divide? It can't just be because of new players, obviously having them able to trade with past games can be a ploy to get new players to buy old games. A good thing for us and Nintendo.

 

[Golden_Latias]

Not to sound stupid, but what do you mean by divide?

 

[Saratos]

TC you are an idiot. So many people hated not being able to transferr old pokes to R/S/E. Luckly my three level 100(soon to be four) will be transferrable. i was lucky cause my first poke game was Ruby.

 

[Golde]

no, no one else is mad, just you . It will probably not be time traveling, just penpel like trading.

;227; IIRC the only reason they didn't make it possible to trade from G/S/C to R/S/E was that the Link Cable used different technology.

right, the old games used 16bit pics while the new ones use 32 bit. It can't be changed between.

 

[Saiffy]

If you couldn't transfer your Pokemon from R/S/E, they'd probably have to release two new games like they did with FR/LG so you can complete your Pokedex. And then you'd need two DS' to trade back and forth from there, so either way you look at it...

 

[Dark_Force]

No way. I was really upset I had to leave my red team stranded in crystal forever, as I couldn't trade em to the advance generation. Between gsc and rse, there was some sort of hardware problem, and that's why there was no trading between those generations. This time, dp is designed to be fully compatible with the 3rd gen, which is always a good thing.

well from the currently released screens, buoysel is no. 56, so there must be a shinou dex. either it has been made out of all the generations and muddled up (like GSC), or 200 or so pokemon have been slected to be in it (like RSE). if it's like GSC, then....well...get over it. if it's like RSE, then dont be mad, cos its likely youll only be able to use the national dex after you beat the elite 4 and are able to trade to RSEFRLG.

and dont you remember how mad you were that some of your faves werent obtainable in RSE?! i for one, was really looking forward to raising more Eeveeloutions (back when i thought Umbreon was cool) and Houndour, the Johto starters etc etc. im sure youll be ok with it sooner or later. i felt soooo hacked that there were only 200 pokemon for you to use. the game got sooo boring too quickly. thank god for collosseum+FRLG+XD

 

[Meganium Ex]

Why the hell be mad? If you don't want to trade, don't. If you do, do. Its that simple -_-

Do i always have to explain? It will worck like shrek super slam,kanvas kurse,pokemon dash, and i think that there are a couple others. You put the GBA cart in its slot and playD/P. Then magically you have all of your old pokes in your boxes.

 

[Dragonfree]

right, the old games used 16bit pics while the new ones use 32 bit. It can't be changed between.

Uh, the pictures have nothing to do with it. They're not what is being transferred over through the link cable. It's simply that the GBA link cable works differently from the GBC one.

And I see no reason for anybody to be mad about that. How is it so "unfair" to new players? You could as well say that they should release the games in batches and each batch should be incompatible with the other batches because otherwise it's unfair to the people who got the game later.

 

[Pokénova]

I'm happy with the idea! ^_^

 

[42]

I'm happy there is no divide. Other wise my beloved Pokemon I alreay own would never get to battle on wi-fi.

 

[Bloopinator]

It's not unfair to the new players most likely new players are little kids who don't even know. It's unfair to old players when they paid money for the older games and they wanted to trade their old teams to their new game. If they didn't let you then you'd have to get new remakes and another DS when there is already a slot to play GBA games so it'd be a ripoff. If you use logic it just isn't consumer friendly and can have very bad effects on the long run.

 

[water types rule]

How on earth is that bad!?!?! This is very good.

uh, I doubt it's that spontaneous. there's probably an option that allows you to choose. plus, it's likely that you have to do something first to unlock the option.

besides, it's your choice. NO ONE'S FORCING YOU TO.

 

[Strike!]

If they had made D/P unable to trade with this generation then I would never have considered buying it. I completely disagree.
