The lights are on
It is about time that nintendo joins the realm of online gaming. I think Pokemon can be the key for nintendo's success in the MMORPG market. Since the american release of the first two pokemon gameboy game of Pokemon Red and Blue, the fanbase of the game had increase to the likes of Final Fantasy and other beloved RPG's that will constantly play and lose sleep over. But, the main difference between Pokemon and other RPG's is the replay value that is offers to gamers. Gamers will not put down the handheld console until they leveled up their pokemon and catched them all. *Important Point* If nintendo does an pokemon RPG, please follow the handheld version and not the console version,in which sucked major chucks. User Play:I feel like this can be a mass game that has endless possible for user content and play value. A few examples that quickly comes to my head, the number of pokemon that the users can capture and train, the possibility of having user-run pokemon gyms and contest, user guild such as Team Rocket and many more things that I can not think of the moment.Nintendo Benefits:The endless values of tie marketing and income from selfless promoting of products and other nintendo games. If nintendo is worried about user paying an monthly fee, I don't think it a big deal. Other users deal out 20 bucks and up to play games such as World of Warcraft and etc, an loyal pokemon will deal out 20 bucks if the games has the right features and look to it. I am going to try to follow up this blog with another one. If you find this an interesting idea, let me know your feedback and ideas for Pokemon Online game thru comments and messages. Thank you and happy gaming.
