I'm 23 and used to play Red/Blue and Sapphire/Ruby like crazy, and even though I haven't touched a Pokemon game in over 5 years I am still waiting for a real console RPG. I'm talking like Fallout 3 1st person style game with Pokemon. I wouldn't care how fucking stupid or immature I would look, but I would go ape-shit if I heard Bethesda was making a Pokemon game, even if it had to be on a Wii. I mean, Bioware did a Sonic RPG so maybe I'm not totally crazy for wanting this.

Mind blown.

are you serious? why dont you play those games on the gamecube

This reminds me of how many fans say a Pokemon MMORPG would be awesome...even though it would never happen.

" are you serious? why dont you play those games on the gamecube "

Stick with the Pokemon games on handhelds, they are better that way.

Pokemon MMO anyone?  
 
yeah lets listen to demontium...

i was just talking about this hahaha this is crazy. 
i think if you could have the same kind of game, only 3d, i would totally buy it.  
but they would definitely have to have every pokemon in it. they really just need a huge game that covers all regions and allows you to get all pokemon. 

I can't see a first person Pokemon RPG working very well, but I'd love a full 3D pokemon RPG on console

Actually, it kinda already did... "

Eh.
 
Pokemon games are best of not existing anymore. Unless Nintendo finally pulls Pokemon out of 1996 JRPG mechanics.
 
Which I doubt, because they release the same shit every year(Pokemon of course, not their good stuff).

I've always felt the Pokemon games work much, much better on the handhelds with the overhead perspective but maybe that's just my sense of nostalgia talking.

New Super Pokemon Wii?

A Bethesda-developed first-person Pokemon game would be awful. And let's face it, so would an MMO; it might sound great in theory, but in practice, it would be an absolute mess.

Pokemonsters is a fools gambit

Wait, what? Need more info. "

No, its obvious that it is a fanmade project, but the question is: How does it play? Judging from some screenshots, you can talk to and battle other players, but don't actually see them on the world map?
Neither the official site nor goodle make it really  transparent what it is you do and can do in this game.

Hello everyone ive been thinking about the exact samething as you when it comes to a console pokemon game. Ever since ive played skyrim and other elder scrolls games ive realized that a pokemon game wouldn't be impossible with the current gaming software. I realize this post hasn't been commented on in like 3 years but i would like to know if anyone thinks its possable for them to come out with a pokemon game where you actually have to have skill as a trainer to catch pokemon instead of the results being randomly generated at the push of a button? I personally like the idea of playing as the pokemon in battle situations.

@benitobb: Don't know if someone mentioned this already but there is actually a fall out 3 mod that turns the game play into a pokemon type battle system. By that I mean you throw pokeballs and death claws as well as other monsters fight for you.

I don't think you're the first person to suggest a Pokemon RPG developed by Bethesda, believe it or not. Oh man, would NIntendo have a money-printing machine of epic proportions if they allowed that and Bethesda agreed.

I used to be crazy for the idea of a console Pokemon game in the same vein as the Gameboy games, but honestly, I prefer those games to be portable. I spent the majority of my hours upon hours of Pokemon idling through the tedious levelling while doing other things like watching TV.

All I really want is a Pokemon game that does away with the grid-based system of world traversal, and adopts a streamlined interface and game mechanics. One example: running from battle should not take a wait time of 30 seconds for initial animations, it should be an option before battle and then if you fail to run, the enemy gets a free round against your Pokemon as usual. Also, you've been on a system with a touchscreen for 3 games now and haven't once deeply integrated touch into the way you play the game, even though it could make things a whole lot simpler. Pokemon is only a notch above Madden in terms of lazy handling of their sure-sellers. I'd also like to see a mature storyline. Go ahead and laugh, but the Pokemon games have some pretty deep mechanics that I'm sure more adults would appreciate if they didn't feel embarrassed playing a kids game. There's a lot of potential.

What a weird thread revival.

Anyway, forget RPGs. Pokemon Survival-Horror where you play AS a Pokemon trying to survive in the wild, evading vicious wild Pokemon and trainers looking to capture you.

I really wanna play a pokemon game thats like the anime series.

Man, then I feel weird replying to such a thread without realizing it's a necro.

I would totally buy Pokemon-themed Tokyo Jungle DLC.

I just want a Pokemon game I can play on a big screen even if it's through some kind of insane Game Boy Player (but for DS) accessory for the WiiU or whatever.

The fact that after all these years they still haven't released a full blown console Pokemon game is mind bottling to me.

What about a Pokémon kinect game game where you bellow commands at Pokémon and then watch them do something completely different.

There is a internet game called Pokemon 3D,it's Pokemon Gold/Silver( it's Fan-Made btw) In First Person View! Check it out Here:http://www.indiedb.com/games/pokmon-3d

I wouldn't want it to be first person, I would think something similar to Final Fantasy style gameplay. I would definitely get it though, even if it meant buying a Wii U in order to play it.
