Topic: How deep will the RPG mode in Pokemon Colosseum be?

[jmoe316]

Do you think this will be a deep mode? Will it be the main attraction of the game and the arena battling sorta a bonus?? It's not gonna be some long adventure will it? I can't wait for more detaily on this mode but something deep inside is saying it's gonna be a slight dissapointment and not as big of a mode that we would like. I am guessing it will be a way to walk around and battle wild pokemon in different areas. I think that was one of the problems people had with the Stadium games for 64 was that your uploaded pokemon never gained experience. This way, in this mode, you can take your party into 3D, walk around in various wild areas and battle wild pokemon. I dont think there will be any story to the mode. That will be saved for a hopefully full blown RPG mode...This is at least a small step in the right direction and shows Nintendo is leaning to the possibility of having a 3D Pokemon RPG Adventure. Guess we'll have to see how this mode turns out when released.

my guess would be that the rpg mode in the game is just another way to do the battles in the game, but you get to control a character- you basically walk around the world they create and you run into scattered pokemon or other trainers wanting to do battle with you- and then you battle them- maybe they will add things like experience points to the mix, but i doubt it

Genus Sonority are the ones making this game right?  It should have more of an RPG flare than not I would think.  I dunno, my mind just keeps going back to Shiggy's hinting.  Then I start wondering if this game is gonna be HUGE...then I start realizing its prolly just gonna be another stadium where you can win the pokemon you couldn't catch in ruby/saphire.

The worse it could be is a story driven battle mode such as most fighting games have. The best, I  think is closer to a Pokemon RPG type game ala the gameboy games with updated sprites.

My guess is that the RPG mode is going to be Nintendo "testing the waters" with the setup of a Cube Pokemon RPG, and try to get a feel of what a fully fleshed Pokemon RPG should be.

Does anyone know when it comes out?

I've never played Stadium, does it require the upload of a save game from the GBA or can you use it without that? (And could I use my Red with that?)

[Pale]

The N6 stadiums did not require upload to play the game, but it made it a MUCH better game when you did.  As for using Red, the N6 stadiums you could, but with Nintendo's current pokemon attitude, I wouldn't count on being able to use Red on the new one.

I forget I'll check I think it comes out either Oct or Nov.

EDIT: My mistake its Dec 1, but kind of close, I wish I was playing horse shoes.

my bet is the RPG mode allows a person to catch all the other pokemon that are not in Ruby or Sapphire.

Did anyone read the Miyamoto interview in EGM? He asked (in Japanese to the Translator) if America had heard of some Pokemon news. The translator was like no but the interviewer knows some Japanese. Ooops...Shiggy slipped.
