One bright side to this though is that if this is all they have for a "Stadium" game then maybe they actually are working on something bigger for the Gamecube. They have to have done more than this. Plus we still need a way to find all of the Pokemon that aren't in Ruby/Saphire.

I'll say this though... I bought the Pokemon Stadium games soley for the much simpler box and backpack storage interface rather than the complicated and confusing interface of R/B/Y/G/S/C. Now that R/S have drastically improved the organization interface, I really see no need for such an add on, unless you actually have the patience to capture 1500 Pokemon...
There HAS to be something bigger in the works. Perhaps this is a red herring for those 10 year olds who keep writing in each week "I whant PokeyMhon on GamECubeh!!!1"

That'll more than guarantee 4 million copies of Pokemon RPG GC being sold... in America alone.

No, no there's not.
I hope there is more to the game than organization.

That's what Nintendo is thinking right there. If most Pokemon fans feel the need to get this then it'll most definitely sell some Cubes.

But I'm highly dissapointed if this is all it does. I'll probably end up getting it seeing as its so cheap and could use another memory card anyways (damn sports games eat up basically all of the 256 alone), but what wasted potential with Pokemon on the GC.

What the hell is this though?
I can't believe, after all this speculation, that Pokemon on Gamecube would be like this. Even though some speculation of what the game might be like got a bit out of proportion, at least they were more relaistic to what we would have wanted out of a Pokemon GC game.
The strange thing is, there wasn't a big announcement for it or anything, so there HAS to be something at E3.
Miyamoto-san's "wait till E3" phrases had better be worth it this year.

I was hoping for some MAD sidequests that would unlock the pokemon not in the game.

Having had all these fantastical ideas, I wouldn't hold my breath. Pokemon Stadium, here we come!

I would have gotten the game if it were actually Pokemon Stadium 4.
Wouldn't another Stadium game be the 3rd? But anyway, the screens that IGN had didn't even look like it was fit for a GBA game, much less a GCN game (ok, slight exaggeration on the GBA part, but you get my point). I'm dissappointed with this. Even if Nintendo is just releasing this as a "pre-major-Poke-RPG-on-GCN" game, they could've at least spent another 2 months on it (at least before "showing it off").

Has he EVER dissapointed us with that phrase?

This, my friends, seems to be the way to get the unobtainables.
What about the "!" and "?" Unown that weren't available in GSC? Well, they'll probably be obtained by maybe sending over the A-Z Unown to R/S, or something like that.
Anyways, Pokemon fans, I bet Pokemon Box won't just be about storing the R/S Pokemon, only!

They should have just waited till E3 and announced this and the *real* Pokemon GC game together. Or even as a bundle.
I am placing all my hopes on E3 for a BIG revival of Nintendo goodness, which seems to have been lacking in times of late.
Post by: PaLaDiN on April 17, 2003, 05:46:17 AM
Speak for yourself. How long would you have had to wait between Metroid Prime and Zelda:WW on the N64? And those are now my two favorite console games, ever.
All I want at E3 is a proper Mario, and my gaming life will be complete.
And I see you guys' point about Pokemon Box, but you gotta remember, this is just a cheap option for those hardcore Pokemon players, especially if it connects with the older Pokemon. Nobody's forcing you to buy it, and there's still as much a chance of a proper Pokemon GC game as there was before.

QuoteI don't know about that. It seems like since you can't trade Pokemon from the old games to Ruby/Sapphire, then you won't be able to do that, since it is essentially the same thing. It seems like Nintendo would want to make it a bit "harder" to get the old Pokemon, maybe with the E-reader or something.
maybe this is the key to get the old pokemon from rbygsc. all u gotta do is hook a gameboy advance to ur nintendo gamecube with a rbygsc gamepak.and then get another gameboy advance with a ruby or sapphire cartridge and then trade.but this might not work because some old pokemon have new moves , therefore u might not be able to trade.or maybe there is an old pokemon in ruby/sapphire that has no new moves and could be used to get the rest of the rbygsc pokemon.i dont know might be possible might not.

No it would be the 4th in Japan, the US' 1 & 2 are Japan's 2 & 3. If you are wondering #1 was horrible, and only allowed around 40 of the 151 Pokémon to be used in it.
Post by: kennyb27 on April 18, 2003, 06:56:53 AM
On another note, with the ability to play Ruby/Sapphire on the game and to switch to the Pokemon management at any time does make it a bit more enticing. Still not what I hoped for though (cough...3D Pokemon RPG on GCN....cough).
