Well, Nintendo's strategy is quite different. They plan to go head to head with the rest of the next generation consoles, not "get the drop" on everybody like Sega attempted to do with the Dreamcast.

While we're talking about next-next-gen consoles, let's hope that the PS3 is top loading and doesn't fuck up as often as the PS2. I never was keen on that system's design.

While it's interesting that this news even garnered a headline on CNN, 2005-6 is a long ways off and a lot can change between now and then. At least Nintendo didn't give any pie in the sky specs for their next console like the recent rumors about what the PS3 might eventually be able to do.

Pokémon are peaceful creatures, don't kill or torture them unless they have attacked you first.

No ones forcing you to play, let the kids have their Pokemon, there's plenty of games for you to enjoy without worrying about that.

Oooh they're so cuute! How can you hate'm, poor... err.... animals?

Well, I don't really care much about Pokémon. I think the original idea was very good and original. But all this "exploitation" that has come later, I agree on

. They just get too annoying...

Well no one is preventing me to express my opinion too then I guess..
Kids can play Pokemon,Metal Gear or King Of Fighters for all I care..
What bothers me is this kind of exploitation by Nintendo..I don't think there is a game series that has spawned more sequels/spinoffs/movies/toys/etc. in such a short period of time..
Everyone seems to complain about all the Castlevania sequels(to name an example) but I haven't heard someone complaining about the infinite Pokemon games..
POKEMON HAS TO DIEEEEEE!!!!

While I also dislike Pokémon,we can't deny that Nintendo can change the way that the Pokémon games are to a more innovative playing system . An adventure game with the Pokémon would be nice . Also,Ruby & Sapphire are selling very well in Japan,as I read in some place on Internet .
But I agree with you that the Castlevania sequels are more interesting than the Pokémon ones (Harmony of Dissonance is AWESOME !!) . But I can't really complain about it ... Now,with rival series like Digimon,Medabots and Yu-Gi-Oh! coming to the GBA (maybe they also decide to appear on the GameCube),let's hope Nintendo to change a little the Pokémon series ...
As for the next gen Nintendo console,it looks nice . It's good to know that Nintendo isn't giving up,because even if the GC isn't being so successful as it should be,it's being much more successful than N64 was ...

I can be any person in the world ... maybe I'm this person right in front of you ... or maybe I'm not !!

this is the first time nintendo has gone head to head with a console release since... well... ever.

what's wrong with pokemon? get past all the stupid marketing schemes and repetitive anime, and you have a pretty deep rpg with an inventive battle system.

The repetitive anime and, specially, all the stupid marketing schemes is what's wrong with Pokémon.
I've no complaints about the game, except, perhaps, the lack of innovation in the series...

Why do I have this feeling that we all have aproximately the same opinion about Pokémon? I think we only differ in the way of saying it and in wether the situation should be changed or not...

About the new console, I prefer to enjoy the current market and we'll see how what is to come turns out to be. Anyway I'm OK with Nintendo's new console coming out in time as long as it doesn't mean it'll be made too quickly.

One funny anecdote aboute my experience with pokémon:
4 years ago I did my military service. Every evening, in my bed, I was playing Pokémon blue on my Gameboy color to kill time. I really enjoyed it in fact. And, to my surprise, 1 and then 2 of my room mates asked to try it. One week later, both had bought the console plus the red version and the link cable! I found that so amusing to see 3 men in uniform play Pokémon in the barracks.
BTW, another guy was showing off with his NGPC at the time, and I was dead jealous. Now I have bought one too.
