hmm, i was kinda wondering about this for awhile. There are a few concepts that can make it work, while there are also many that dont. In an RTS, u could field more than just 6 pokemon at a time without worrying about having too much and still have strategy cause of the variety and diffences of each pokemon.

A problem I see, though, is that there is too much pokemon and it will be hard to balance.

well, even though current pokemon games are RPGs, there is still a lot of strategy. If a Pokemon RTS was made, they could still include a lot of RPG elements. It kinda already has some concepts of RTS like training a group and giving it certain skills that fit into a planned strategy. Battles would also be larger in scale. I guess if they made an RTS of it, it would lose some things, but have new factors that would make it flexible in different areas such as micro and terrain.

it’d be tough...and it’d prbly fail. RPG’s turned to RTS’s usually turn out...ugly.

Yea, it will be tough. considering how many pokemon there is, they would either have to leave some out or find some way to balance it(which is nearly impossible if they choose to include every one).

Well, FFXII: revenant wings just came out, and i think its getting decent/ok reviews...

yea, it will be tough and somewhat unlikely since RTS havent really worked or were popular on consoles until recently. and nintendo doesnt make games for PC. but maybe wii mote can make the controls easier cause it works similar to a mouse.

Rather then an RTS Pokemon could function well as an RPG with Real time combat if done correctly like if on the wii attacks could be triggered with the control pad and depending on the pokemon you use it effects how well they can dogde, jump, fly if they can, and depending on the field you could swim, dig and attack from below. And aside from dogding gesutres, lock on to foes, and using your techquies, every pokemon could get a basic melee or ranged attack that they could use as much as they want but it is very weak.

yea i guess that could work too. i guess it would be more like a shooter. and focus more on micro/tactics more than strategy.

nope...


i’ve noticed taht so far this gen no RTS’s have been released on PS3 or Wii shocked. Oddly they’ve all been released for 360...

of course taht will change once End War comes out...then PS3 will have an RTS...but 360 right now has 2 and by the end of next year it will have 5.


I haven’t heard of anything of an RTS for wii...

sad

i would think that since wiimote is similar to mouse that RTS would work decently on it.
maybe its because the RTS nowadays have high specs which the wii cant run?

Actually a pokemon MMO where it’s sole purpose is the online battling against other players would be the dream pokemon game. A game where you can choose who you want to battle that is at your level, a game where you can customize your pokes stats without hassling with EV Training, a game where you can set the rules to your standards, and a game where most of the pokemon are equal. Seriously how many people use OUs these days.

Come to think of it, I bet it would be pretty cool to make an MMO Pokemon game made similar to One Piece Unlimited Adventure. smiley

If there was ever a game made to be an MMO, Pokemon is it.
