What's up with Gamefreak?

OMG itZ pikablu!!1!1
Have any of you guys noticed that Gamefreak seems to be getting lazy or dumb lately? I mean, waiting until Emerald for another sprite-moving game seems down-right stupid. And how come Khangaskhan STILL doesn't have a pre-evo?!?!?

We have no control over what Gamefreak does, and they don't cater to everyones wims.

If by "dumb" you mean didn't come up with enough original ideas for Diamond & Pearl, completely forgot about the microphone and how they could have had the trainer use that to call the attacks, never used the idea of a real time strategy title (basically, they completely forgot about their work on Mystery Dungeon) in a top to bottom view like Dash and completely forgot to include characters from Ranger, Trozei, Mystery Dungeon and Colosseum/ XD then and a lack of connection between it and Hoenn, Johto, and Kanto to see what the ripple effects of the other gens and completely forgetting about adding a comet in space to which you can find the high tech world of deoxys then yeah... basicallyloads of skipped oppurtunities then yeah! I couldn't agree more!

Thank you, SPPf! :)
"Lately" would refer to Diamond/Pearl. Those games do have the moving sprites.

And what? You want more worthless pre-evos? To me, that would be far lazier than coming up with new original Pokemon.

To be perfectly honest, I don't know if you're being facetious or serious here, but it makes me laugh either way! xD

Meh I like it, but for all the hyping up that happened im a little dissapointed. Mostly in the lack of quality of new ideas for pokemon. They are still highly proffessional, but they could have done better and made less advancements on already existing pokemon... Overall, the gameplay and stuff seem fun as! I havnt got it but they seem cool!

I pointed this out in General Pokemon Discussion, but I think there's a reason Garuura still doesn't have its baby as a seperate pre-evolved form. I mean, surely Gamefreak, who takes time to make up new movesets, sprites, etc. for each individual Pokemon every generation wouldn't have overlooked this particular Pokemon and the fact that it seemingly conflicts with the breeding system that was implemented in generation 2. After 3 generations of Gamefreaks not doing anything about it, I've come to the following conflusion:

I don't think it's a true parent, but only represents that aspect of nature. Honestly, can you see a whole species just being classified as a "Parent" Pokemon, when practically any Pokemon is capable of parenthood (I mean, while we're at it, we should've had the Nidoran family classed as "Assigned Sex" Pokemon back when they were introduced in generation 1, but they didn't)? It's merely an aspect of its behavior, lifestyle, and design. The baby is quite possibly just a part of the Pokemon itself, its "twin" if you will, much like how Tamatama appears to be six individuals but apparently make up a single Pokemon.

And given how the game plays, it'd probably be even more awkward to have the Garuura pre-evo than to have Garuura hatch with the baby already in its pouch. Garuura is a Pokemon based around parenthood (even if it's potentially false, as I mentioned before), so exactly how is that supposed to work if its baby is a seperate Pokemon? Kept in a seperate ball away from its parent all the time, it doesn't really seem like it could live up to its role.

I agree with you only a very tiny, microscopic bit. I'm pretty sure they had a reason for not implementing animations for pokemon in R/S. Maybe it was because it was there first pokemon game on the GBA.

I think I also have another, better reason. They obviously don't add too much (well, at least by YOUR standards, they didn't) in the games because there's always gonna be some third version that'll succeed the other two (Yellow, Crystal, and Emerald), and add in some other crap you guys, ecspecially Manga Massacre, complained about.

GF might be dumb, but still, they are still making money from D/P.

GF are doing okay work with the new Pokemon. But, I agree with Kangaskhan needing a pre-evo.
I think R and S were made without animations because GF thought people don't want the animations. Or, they just didn't have the time to do it.

Ya know that some people have accents or mumble or have a speech impediment and the game might not understand the. Whats the point of calling out an attack when all you have to do is touch the screen. Oh yeah and you know that some people might mis pronounce attacks. Example: Facad(pronounced Fa-saad, but I use to pronounce it Fa-sade) I prouonced the A as a long A instead of a short A

GF didnt make Dungeon or the other spin offs, it was another group hired by Nintendo.

They make many references to Johto.

The deoxys Idea was stupid. Its not even the theme for this game.

Have any of you guys noticed that Gamefreak seems to be getting lazy or dumb lately? I mean, waiting until Emerald for another sprite-moving game seems down-right stupid. And how come Khangaskhan STILL doesn't have a pre-evo?!?!?

Whats this even doing in the Fourth generation discussion? This is about GF being lazy therefore should go in the general discussion.

Kangaskhan having a pre evo is pointless. Cant you just assume that the baby changes coulour as it grows up! Dont say then why didnt they do that for a new born one, cause it would take forever!

They probably didnt come out with a moving sprite in RS cause they didnt know if people wanted it.
 
At least GameFreak is doing something, so no one should be complaining

Yes there very lazy in the fact that they introduced natures, made it so that you can upload and download teams in the battle tower. There also so lazy that they decided to make an extra round in contests. Yes and they are really lazy in the fact that they decided to make the physical special split and had to reprogram the game mechanics. Yess there also lazy in the fact that they gave pokemon gender differences(by the way not all animals have obvious gender differences). Very lazy of them not to reuse sprites for this game eventhough some of the old ones are better. Very lazy of them not to use the same sprites they used in RSE for FRLG. Very lazy of them to think up new ways of evolution. Very lazy of them to make 28 unowns and to make different forms of deoxys, castform, minomadam, karanakushi and Toritodon.

Let me ask you, what exactly is so unoriginal about DP? Is it that they use 8 gymleaders, or is it all the pre evo and evos that look like their predecessors. Newsflash for ya, all pokemon in the ame evolution line look similar to one another! Maybe its unoriginal cause they already used fish pokemon. Well what else do you want them to use, and guess what, they use different species of fish, birds, and rodents! Maybe its unoriginal cause of the Battle tower, but then you people would call them lazy cause they didnt put in battle tower.

Can anyone PM me why DP is so unoriginal?

I never thought of them as lazy, I just wish they'd come up with some new concepts to enhance this new generation like how they did for the RS Saga and the GSil sagas instead of enhancing some of the smaller concepts ! Don't get me wrong Diamond & Pearl is cool they could have done so much worse with it they just didn't add a whole lot of no-brainer moves! Simmer kairyu trainer, this isn't a war. Sory for sounding so whiney earlier... I guess I came across to strong!

the problem is that gamefreak proably will never read this and also moving sprites are a nice addition to the game but i made it through r/s without any problem (in fact i never cared that they didnt have moving sprites) but hey d/p has motion sprites so just be patient and im sure u will get over the fact they dont have a kanghaskan pre-evo.=P
