Official Nintendo Magazine interview with Junichi Masuda (director):
ONM: Pokémon is now over 15 years old. In that time have you ever considered reinventing the series or do you think fans like the fact that it's familiar? Junichi Masuda: If we thought totally reinventing the series would be attractive enough, we would definitely try. But, if we want to simply try something new, then, I just add those ideas to a new series.

TBQH, wouldn't games like Mystery Dungeon and Rumble be considered "something new" for the series? <_<

Maybe I just don't "get it" then because why can't we retain the good old games and still have new games that may or may not be good? If Rumble had been handed a brand new batch of pokemon, had two versions and was marketed as a mainline game, people would have probably been pissed off.

Sequels for those who want more of the same with minor tweaks. New games for those who want something different. What's wrong with that? Wouldn't you prefer new works to have new characters rather than forcing older ones into it?

Yeah, I'm fine with the main series being "rehashes" and all those weird-ass experimental sideline games, such as Mystery Dungeon, Ranger and Rumble.

See, there's something a bit wrong with him saying that because he works for Game Freak. And since making Pokemon Red and Blue in 1996, GameFreak has done nothing but Pokemon except for Drill Dozer and whatever the hell this is:
But anyways, I always thought that "new ideas" with Pokemon was the job of the spin-off series, and that the main series remain classic turn-based JRPGs. That works fine for me. The only problem is that IMO the Pokemon spin-off games generally aren't very good. <_< It would be interesting to see GameFreak themselves helm a Pokemon spin-off. -- http://img.imgcake.com/AitchDeeTee/panicdancegifta.gif http://backloggery.com/herodeltiempo/sig.gif ...

You can't be serious when you claim that the only way to shake up the Pokemon formula is through a spinoff. Except the series has evolved... a lot. If you compare even FR/LG to R/B they're extremely different games in ways other than just graphics, fixing the plethora of bugs from R/B, and adding new Pokemon. I believe someone a while ago started a topic where he went over every new aspect of pokemon since the RBY days. I don't think it got very far off the ground, but there were a ton of changes. If you don't see a huge number of changes in the past 15 years, you haven't been playing the games. -- http://i.imgur.com/6XjQR.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

You can't be serious when you claim that the only way to shake up the Pokemon formula is through a spinoff. I'm saying DON'T shake up the series. Leave the mainline game alone for the people like me who like the rehashes. Whether you like it or not, there's millions of people who like them. If you have some great new idea go make a new series. -- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place ... Copied to Clipboard!

From: MarvelousGerbil | #016 It's front heavy. D/P and B/W's changes are minuscule compared to the leaps G/S and to a lesser extent, R/S did. Gamefreak's execs are getting lazier and lazier because they know the games still sell. From: Team Rocket Elite | #017 No. Rehash lovers like you definitely make up the minority of pokemon's fanbase. this is why the pokemon fanbase is ever shifting (except the nostalgia fanboys from RBY's days) and new kids constantly replace the 11-14 year-olds who start outgrowing the franchise. -- GameFAQs.com: Where YOU make the content, but CBS makes the money. http://lueshi.info/Mario_Zelda_Tier_List.gif ...

it prints money so why change it? when you find a massive fanbase that isn't smart enough to stop buying the same thing over and over again, you milk it until it dies. lr2activision

I'm pretty sure this is factually incorrect. Like, Nintendo did an actual survey of the people who bought HGSS and determined it was generally not a game purchased by those in the age range you're suggesting. -- "The courtroom is the garden of holy judgment.

LOL, HGSS
that's marketed at the GS nostalgia crowd. The fact that it sold over 10 million copies - and to a core audience, by your own admission - seems to imply that the fanbase is pretty okay with rehashes overall. -- "The courtroom is the garden of holy judgment.

The Real Truth 12/14/11 1:06:00 AM #26: |
Pokemon has a ton it could change to make it more interesting than it is, but there's seriously no reason to. The games sell incredibly well. It's the same reason CoD hardly changes with each no release. Anything beyond minor change could turn a ton of people off, unfortunately. Though looking at Final Fantasy, that's probably not true. FF13 was complete ass and drastically different, and people are still hanging with that series.

Pokemon Snap was a good game. Sad Nintendo never made a sequel, with all the pokemon and stuff that has come out since then, there is a great potential for the series.
