Would you buy another TCG video game? Dash?

It seems like the only spinoffs people are interested in is a Snap 2, more Ranger games, console rpgs, stadium's, and more MD games.

What spinoffs do you want to see return that aren't of those five?

I'd like to see more Puzzle games and Pinball games.

I would definetly buy another TCG video game. I really liked the first one as all the hassle of playing it in real life was completely gone. A shame that the second game was never in English.

I never played Dash so I can't comment on it.

 

[Ino-Chan]

Not Dash.

Yes another Stadium, another TCG would be awesome, and another PMD I would buy

 

[Gligar13]

Another TCG, another Stadium or Colosseum, and another puzzle league I would buy.

 

[Magmortar123]

Just another Stadium or PMD. The others I don't really care for.

 

[Takoto]

Another TCG game. I'd love it :< They could have online play as well...

 

[Milkapoke]

Another Stadium game. I think they are the best of the spin-off's :3

 

[Cybersai]

Nah, I wouldn't. A Pinball sequel I would.

I'd like another Puzzle game, but it seems unlikely because Panel de Pon was localized once if I remember right. I'd also really like to see another TCG because it's one of the only places to go if you aren't professional.

But what I'm really hoping for is another Pinball. Pokemon Pinball RS was the second most fun pinball game I've ever played. It's a shame nobody cares about it anymore.

Another TCG would be really cool. I liked playing TCG many years ago, when there was less cards to collect and when I still got money for those. Nowadays there's just too many cards for me to start playing again. So new TCG game, where would be a lot of new and older cards, would be perfect for me.

A new TCG with a Wifi-battling feature would do it for me.

I'm honestly interested in checking out some of the new card sets (hell, even grabbing some that aren't made anymore), but I lack the money to do so. I also lack the friends to challenge as well. Being able to digitally collect cards and battle anyone who's willing would be the perfect way for me to eat up my free time.

I would be interested to play another pinball game. They were a fun way to pass the time.

A new colosseum style game. How about in Orre's distant future, where irrigation projects have reclaimed parts of the dessert, Phenac City is a bustling metropolis, and people have grown weak, no longer threatened by the difficulty of living in the dessert. Then, CIPHER RETURNS!!!!!

yeah, an update of the TCG adaptions is long overdue. We also need an upgrade for Pokemon Scramble. They should've released one with all the 2nd and 3rd gen Pokemon available to help promote Heart/Soul, but since they fucked that up, hopefully they can amend this by including them along with the 5th gen Pokemon later on. Pokemon Ranch needs similar upgrading (especially outside of Japan).

meh... personally, I don't think it particularly needs to be a continuation. So long as it's just another 3D RPG, I'll be happy. I swear, all these 3D battling games seem so drab and bare bones without it, like the RPGs actually make them seem more like an actual game in their own right instead of just being some extension of the portables. Don't get why everyone hypes up Stadium so damn much... and they pretty much got their wish with Battle Revolution. -_-

Also, in spite of what the first post said, I actually do want to see a continuation of the Mystery Dungeon series (it seems inevitable at this point).

Spoiler

However, I really hope it doesn't play out in generation 5 the way it did in generation 4... honestly. Mystery Dungeon Red and Blue were alright. Every Pokemon as of the 3rd generation could be accessed in-game, including those that were promotional in the main RPGs. Both games used passwords, which kinda made the need for separate versions rather pointless for those who already know what to input (especially courtesy of the internet), but I'd give some leeway since it's apparently mirroring a tradition in the main RPG series, and both versions were released on separate systems.

Darkness and Time just pissed me off... now, last generation's mail system was one thing, but making JUST ONE Pokemon in either version completely inaccessible unless you happened to be around for a Wi-Fi event is utter bullshit. Leaving out Shaymin and Arceus completely is another issue (like they can make several legendaries hidden behind Wonder Codes but couldn't see fit to hide the yet-to-be-revealed promo legendaries this way?). And both versions were made entirely obsolete down the line anyway once Sky came out... though, even with a third version release, Chunsoft still couldn't find fit to include Arceus, nor the Rotom forms (Arceus was revealed but its event was not yet available, though the Rotom forms were already accessible in Platinum). Sorta gives this "close but not quite" feeling in terms of the Pokemon roster.

Then there's the WiiWare titles... I gotta say, the idea of combining all three versions via downloads onto a single console is pretty ingenious, and is pretty much what the RPG series SHOULD be doing at this point (now that the DSi has internal memory). Multiple save files in a Pokemon game is also greatly appreciated in this franchise. However, even when you buy all three, they still felt the need to pull a Darkness/Time and make some Pokemon completely inaccessible without limited-time Wi-Fi events. From what I know, they still seem to have failed in incorporating all of the current Pokemon forms as well. But even if the only things these games really added to the Pokemon roster was Arceus (and only a few forms of Arceus at that), I wouldn't say they were completely pointless since they act as a 3D alternative from Sky (now I just hope they get a western release before this generation is done with).

Come generation 5, I really hope ChunSoft stops letting this series fall into the same limited-time promotional crap the main series already does. The first games were perfect, why ruin them? Just make the necessary upgrade with all the gen 5 Pokemon added, make a 3D console alternative, new storylines, and assuming the games aren't released late in the generation when everything was already revealed (like Red and Blue), then include, but hide, all the future promotional Pokemon by making them accessible via passwords (or make them downloadable content that's available indefinitely, even if they need to be paid for... which is what they should do anyway for both these and the main RPGs if new forms get revealed mid-generation again, lest they wanna have more issues with trading and battling compatibility). Unfortunately, something tells me things won't go that smoothly, now will it?
