I bet that if they offered the event pkmn throught the wii through purchase the would make a lot of $$$ cause quite a lot of people can't go to events.

Nintendo definately put alot of work into DP, you know with WiFi, and having like 463 some Pokemon catchable in game without any extras.....so don't say that they didn't bend over backwards at all...

But I forgot, since it doesn't have Kanto rehashed on it, it sucks. Amirite?

They bent over backwards on GSC, not so much on this game.

I agree with you 100%.

How the hell did they "bend over backwards" more for GS?

A rehashed region which seriously cut into Johto's potential vs an entirely new region about the size of Kanto and Johto combined?

Johto was large enough...how the hell much bigger do you want it? The whole concept and ideas that were in GSC were amazing, just stop.

Ummm.....as I think being able to battle and trade with people all over the world, plus all of Johto's functions is pretty neat as well.

Oh, and Johto had none of those DAMN BABIES AND EVOS of oldies.!

The wireless thing is minor IMO it's what should have been in place as the next evolution of the trade feature...to think it wouldn't have been is just stupid.

Johto started that trend the baby and evo chain

There just aren't any new features in D/P at all gameplay wise that I think is revoultioary as GSC was, so many poteintal ideas. PokeHolidays, A Weather system...those are just off the top of my head, but hey you get "Super Contests".

I was being facetious.

Let's see...they improved almost of all of Johto's "unique"-ness.

Pokegear was upgraded to the Poketch.
We now have visible Gender Differences.
We have Morning, Day, Afternoon, Evening, Night.
Super Contests are fun, don't diss till you try them.

GS had...what now? Genders (was expected), Day/Night (was expected), and.......????

And how the hell is Wifi minor? You can now get almost every Pokemon easily.


What Political Party are you? A Republican Conservative?

Johto Had:
- Radio
- PokeGear
- Day/Night
- Gender
- Two Regions (one revisting the old and seeing how things changed)
- A continuous story from RBY
- Berry Attachments (the beginging of attachments)
- Daily Events
- Your Room function to customize your own room
- Pre/New Evo's of old Pokemon
- Baby Pokemon
- Mystery Gift with Friends.

Johto Had:
- Radio Which had like 4 different channels?
- PokeGear Poketch pwns this. It is very cool
- Day/Night And they make it more diverse in DP
- Gender Same as above, now we have visual differences
- Two Regions So? I'd take my brand new region over a rehashed one that cuts into the size of new areas. Plus, we will probably get a Johto remake soon anyway.
- A continuous story from RBY I like the new story DP has, and it refers to GS events actually (Red Gyrados)
- Berry Attachments (the beginging of attachments) We now have more berries, and uses for them (Pofin)
- Your Room function to customize your own room Secret Bases are pretty much this, and other players can visit them.
- Pre/New Evo's of old Pokemon DP gave us evos of old ones that actually deserved them.
- Baby Pokemon Most people would see this as a bad thing


Stop, turn around, and look. ;026;
 
Ok I listed the new features GSC introduced as fresh...what fresh features does DP include that wasn't an expansion on GSC?

Seeing that there are many online games where you can pay real-world money for certain content, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo decided to try this with Pokémon eventually. After all, even though the little kids can't use credit cards, they can get Mommy and Daddy to use them. I can see it now. =P

Little Girl: Daddy, I want you to buy me a Deoxys online to use in my Pokémon game.
Daddy: But Deoxys costs $20, and you know Daddy's on a budget. After all, it's just a ga.....
Little Girl: I WANT A ****ING DEOXYS! WAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
Daddy: Alright, alright, I'll buy you a Deoxys!
Little Girl: Thank you, Daddy! *kiss*

Well, difference between that and the old way is that daddy would still have to pay (gas and food) in most cases and spending a complete day outside (when with the other way he can do that in a few minutes, and with no queues).
