Pokemon isn't tiku tiku tiku! , 31, it's the cartoon show that made it seem that way. It's not that I think they're tiku tiku tiku! , it's that they've been milked as hell and should die right about now.

I'm pretty sure these are the first screens/details though.
Nope, very old. The game is released in Japan in like two weeks.
This looks decent, it's not the main series but it looks good for what it is, and I like the premise. It should sell alright too.

Same game right?? There is some info there... sounds kind of weird.
Also... http://www.serebii.net/ranger/
That game sounds like it may be the first successful 'different' pokemon game... Still an RPG, but with a completely different set of goals.

I'd agree with you if all we got was the Pokemon on GBA series and the Pokemon Box/Colosseum/XD games, but I remember a beautiful little gem of a game called Pokemon Snap that I fell in utter love with.
As long as there are Pokemon Snaps in the world, which this Pokemon Ranger might be (as in, an innovative twist on the license) then I'll be thankful for the Pokemon series. Doesn't mean I'm buying the next Pokemon: Geology-Term game though.

I need some more details on this game since it's coming out so soon in Japan already...If it's a pure Action/RPG like I'm hoping, then I'll probably buy it for sure...
Dude, it's "Fushigi no Dungeon" (translated: Mysterious Dungeon). That says it all. Chun Soft has been making these games since... like... the NES days or earlier. Then they signed on with Enix to help with Dragon Quest/Warrior 4, and invented Taloon/Torneko, so they started making "Torneko no Daikobon: Fushigi no Dungeon" (Torneko's Adventure: Mysterious Dungeon) games. One of them (I think it was Torneko #3) came out in America on the PSone. More recently, a 3D one called "Nightmare of Druaga: Fushigi no Dungeon" came out in America on the PS2.
Basically, you have a randomly-generated maze-dungeon, and it has monsters and treasure placed all over it. And every time you take a step, or swing your weapon at a monster, the monsters can take a step, or attack you. You've got a map that's auto-drawing as you wander the dungeon, and you're supposed to find the stairs that go downward to the next level. You can find food as you're going along, which diminishes every time you take a step, but it also recharges your hit points, until you run out of food, at which point your HP starts to drop until it hits zero and you starve to death.
I guess it's technically an "action" RPG (since the fights are "realtime" turnbased), but it's more like an older-than-oldschool hardcore maze-crawling RPG. It's even got "+1 Mace" weapons and that kind of thing (you basically find your weapons and everything else in the dungeon).
It's just that this time, Chun Soft's hooked up with Nintendo, and is putting a Pokemon theme onto the game.

But still, I'm amazed they're breaking away from the mold. And it's being co-dev'd with HAL. Can't be too bad. (It'd be better if they just got rid of 252-351, though
)
