You see, I was comparing him to someone ridiculous and stupid. Someone so stupid they probably wouldn't get it unless it was explained to them.

Well I figured you were taking a crack at me.or really thought I posted that... which knowing you I found it hard to believe you'd actually make a mistake. Are you ocd? Not making fun, it would just explain a bit.

Any Pokemon game would be pretty high on my list, too. Huge pokemon nerd. Probably not surprising.

Despite the kids game feel, the battle system is simple enough for young kids but deep enough to appreciate for more serious gamers as well.

Black and White have a starter that's a pro-wrestling pig. Therefore, they trump your puny Silver.
It's not really an RPG, so there's not much correlation. One of the main reasons I've owned any handheld since the original Game Boy, TBH. Not a system seller in itself (for me), but certainly a "system motivator." |

not looking to spark a debate over a game i've never played, but how is it not an rpg? you got stat and item management, character progression, etc. better question i suppose is if its not an rpg what is it?

It doesn't really have character progression, it has Pokémon progression.

Besides, roleplaying is all about cover-based shooting.

The first post, questioning how it's not an RPG. Though IIRC, there were decpatiations too.

i was having this conversation the other day "what makes an rpg." in reality every video game is a role playing game seeing as you're role playing SOMETHING. really isnt much of a clear answer. for me, like i said, item management, progression (typically through levels but not always) and some form of number based combat with invisible dice rolls.

Pokémon games tend to lack in terms of story or character arc. They're roughly on par with early Super Mario games. Newer ones are a bit more oriented to it, but they're still pretty lackluster. |

There are certainly places where it gets dodgy, though, and I don't deny that. People used to argue over Diablo 2 (and since I never played the first, I couldn't comment there), but it seems "close enough" to me. Pokémon strikes me more as an offshoot of the trading card game. While you can certainly have elements of a TCG in an RPG, you can also have games that are completely separate. Don't get me wrong on any of this. I love Pokémon, and I love to have my cute little monsters get stronger and stuff, and I like to beat the bosses and stuff. But I think I'd probably argue Saints Row the Third as an RPG before Pokémon. |

I don't think we'll see a legit version. Though you can probably play a ROM version on your computer if you want. Don't know if that appeals to you or not. Just saying there's probably emulators and shit. Maybe you can even homebrew on a Wii or something. |

Clox says they're an RPG.
That basically proves they aren't. |

I recently played one of the pokémon games on there. Annoying part is not being able to trade pokémon with friends (obvioiusly) so you can't catch them all. That was the part I used to enjoy the most about playing the older ones when I was younger and everyone had it. NB. If anyone goes on there and tries playing it, don't play Diamond because it's not actually Pokémon. Although play it for 5 minutes if you want some badly translated gibberish dialogue. |

Its weird, RPG is in technical terms, A Role Playing Game. In every game you are playing the role of a character, hence every game is technically a role playing game. I think to be an RPG, you need Health, Mana/Magic/Magicka and a Level Progression that grants skills through time and gameplay.
Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy, etc. Thats just my interpretation. |
