Pokemon Gets Wacky
Cordova, TN; September 13, in the year of our Lord 2013--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games realized that Pokemon Gets Wacky. The
inclusion of the Mega's, and Pokemon Bank has Family Friendly
Gaming Nation scratching their head. What exactly is Game Freak
thinking? Greed is the only answer that makes any sense. After
all Nintendo is bound to make money off of Pokemon Bank. They
can hide behind server costs all they want. But Nintendo is not
known for giving consumers a really good deal. They take forever
to lower the prices of their older games. Forget about lowering
the prices of newer games.
The one cool part about Pokemon Bank is there will be a free
trial. Which means if you purchase the game near launch, you can
set it up, and transfer your Pokemon from Pokemon Black, Pokemon
White, Pokemon Black 2, and Pokemon White 2 at no additional
charge. The down side to this is you need to pay full retail
price. That means you will not be able to wait for a price drop,
and use the free trial. Nintendo is manipulative. The other cool
part is Nintendo is promising this service will work with future
Pokemon games. Consumers will need to support Pokemon Bank for
that to come true. If Nintendo starts losing money on it – they
will cancel the service.
I find the Mega's to be very lame. Nintendo was rather vague
about how that happens. I know they like gamers to play hundreds
of hours trying to figure it out. Which makes me ask: “Why can't
they make these things easier to understand?” It is all
marketing, and back to that manipulation. I also suspect it is
control. Nintendo is known for their control freak nature. If
you are playing their game, then you do not have time for games
from other companies. Which is why Pokemon has been so slow to
catch up with other franchises in so many areas. Which might be
why the franchise is in decline. Could the moves being made mark
the end of the series? Will Pokemon X and Pokemon Y be the last
time we see Pokemon? The recent wacky moves are doing nothing to
help.
God bless,
