Should Nintendo make a pokemon game with ALL regions in it?

    And yet, unless Nintendo/Game Freak are certain that there will be no more Pokemon Games this is still a terrible idea.

    it is a cool concept but it will never happen. the only way i thought it could happen is if the pokemon series is coming to and end, but then the game probally wont be of very high quality if it were to be made if pokemon was on its last legs.

    To do this Nintendo would probably put this on a computer and also make you start with new pokemon each region

    I think that this would be awesome cause maybe when you travel to a different region you only take like two pokemon with you and they can only be like a certain level?
    I'm about to buy pokemon black and i currently have pokemon platinum, i know that this is changing the subject but do you guys think that pokemon are getting worse or are they running out of ideas?

    Definitely starting to run out of ideas. Hate to say it, but half of Gen 5 looked like they were drawn by little kids.

    But I don't think the handheld cartridges can hold that much data for all 5 regions. Three max probably.

    Well, isn't the place Almia is geographically based on right below where Sinnoh is based? That would make a pretty cool endgame for DPPt, traveling to Almia and doing stuff there.

    I like the concept, but it is poor on pape- err- reality. I don't believe 5 regions are fitting in 1 game.

    I think it would only work if you had it like this.

    Kanto Level Cap for Trainers: 39
    Johto Level Cap for Trainers: 54
    Hoenn Level Cap for Trainers: 64
    Sinnoh Level Cap for Trainers: 79
    Unova Level Cap for Trainers: 100

    Keep the amount of people retained in each of the original games if needed; but make battles less frequent. One of the reasons I felt BW was a bit unnatural to play was the fact that the level jump after the original elite four challenge (which was about 15 levels) made it difficult to actually catch up without a LOT of level grinding. They tried to offset this by handing you the lucky egg so that the experience was an easier one but it was still tedious nonetheless.

    At least if you have a cap off for the trainers playing in the various regions, and by making trainer battles less frequent you make the task of leveling up a bit more challenging while making the process seem a lot more organic. Therefore, you cannot get any much more powerful than the game demands, but you will not get much weaker either because there would be a set number of trainers that vary scattered throughout the regions differing in actual number. You would still have the Gym Leaders, but cut the number by half and make them represent the 17 different types throughout the regions as to avoid redundancy.

    Have only one elite four comprising of each of the champions from the various regions with Red as your final opponent, like say Lance, Steven, Cynthia, Alder and then finally Red as the supreme "trainer of trainers" who has returned from Mt. Silver after training to reclaim what was rightfully his to be the final opponent (Cynthia actually mentioned a summit meeting where all the champions fight it out to decide who's best). Include side battles with various characters as say the Rivals (Wally, Barry, Blue, N, Cheren, Bianca, etc.) The only flaw to all this is that canon wise the game would have to be set in a different continuity from all the other games, because various events happen years after the other and would coincide with one another. But all in all this would be how the game would play out to me.

    If you ask me... YES, but with an entirely different plot line that isn't like the other Pokemon games. It would be a little mystic if you get a good deeper story if you work in putting every region in and starts to give you a good balance of exp work, and Gym/Elite ranks. I would think that'd be quite fun if done right....and make pokemon that normally out of reach (due to availability) to very hard to find (side questing) and then it'd be fun.

    Gamefreak isn't giving us that (a good story).

    I still remember the level spike between Elesa and Brycen... That's what I want Trollfreak to avoid. If anything, make us start with new pokemons. Make the PC "region locked" (see what I did there), so that you can only access it after you have beaten the E4.

    Even then, that was still doable, I was talking about the level jump after you beat N. That shit was bonkers, and I really do believe GF went too far because you could barely beat N/Ghetsis with their pokes in the late 50's let alone beat trainers and wild pokemon 14-19 levels higher out've the blue.

    Well the level cap idea is interesting. Perhaps when you reached the level cap, the experience bar would not fill up?

    Anyways there's a bit of speculation (mostly rumors, don't take this too seriously) that Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 may include Hoenn?

    I said this on another thread, but all Gen 3 Pokemon got revamps. This makes me believe we WILL be able to access Hoenn. And, there might be 2 possible Battle Frontiers

    If you put it that way... Why don't we start a petition for that then? It sounds doable. I can tell you put a lot of thought on to this.

    I've always dug the cartridge games bro. Also, I don't think Game Freak wouldn't go for it.

    They might attempt it, but the possibility of it at the current and present time is questionable.

    Have any you thought of the memory and space a game of that magnitude would take? I think a little 3DS/NDS wouldn't take that me thinks...

    Someone have probably said this but I'm too lazy to read etc[/HIDE]

    I think it could be the first and only console dedicated Pokemon RPG in that it doesn't link to any of the handhelds (So Colosseum and Gale of Darkness don't count). It is its own game.

    It's nearly impossible for it to exist, but we could do something like, after every region, our main characters changes and we go to a new region and after we finally beat all 5 regions we will become a sixth person and have to beat the E4:
    e4 1: Diamond
    e4 2: Black
    e4 3: Ruby
    e4 4: Gold
    Champion: Red
    then the game would be over!

    I would love it but I doubt it would work properly and I doubt they will make it too many plot twists and the issue of how to cross gens. (Get new pokemon until E4?)

    I'm going to chime in on this random subject:

    1. I don't think this will happen until Nintendo has ran out of options (and no, giving out a free Mewtwo doesn't mean they're desperate. A free Charizard not DW and we might be approaching that)
    2. Space. Not for a while. Late 3DS cartridges at earliest specs-wise.
    3. Kanto in HG/SS was not terrible. It made for a fun fine side story, and the legendary inclusion was rather nice (having the Lati's was a really nice plus, they did not have to be in there). The thing that made HG/SS so terrible was that it was a direct translation from the manga with no emotions considered from other countries, plus the E rating. That was the recipe for the blandness. But I was more than satisfied with Kanto. I found some of the humor actually touching. Now Kanto, in G/S/C, was GAWD-awful.
    4. I don't think there really needs to be level control honestly. What they need to do is not give power-ups every 2 gyms. If you have 40 gyms, you get the Lv. 20 early, then you don't get Lv. 50 until you complete like a region and a half, and Lv. 100 control until you finish EVERYTHING! Just my 2C. Space out the Badge power-ups a bit, as well as the HM gives.
    5. Allow the E4 from one region to be playable until you complete the next.

    I think they should, but on the wii. Only because, i think they should add way more to it. Maybe make pokemon a little bit like sim's. And dont let your pokemon really level up. if they can just learn new moves, and go off your battle strategy that would be cool to. Also i think that you should control about two or three pokemon trainers, kind of like the tv show. Most deff put more of "TEAM ROCKET"

    I always liked GSC and the remakes because you could travel in both Johto and Kanto, but to include all 5 regions in one game is probably too much, unless you start with a new pokemon in each region like in the anime or something like that.

    It would be to much and will get boring really fast, I'd rather see a console pokemon game that is more like the handheld games. For example a fully 3D pokemon white/black for the console(just an example) everything is/feels so limited on the console pokemon games, I would really like an actual full pokemon game on a console where you can collect badges, fight the elite four, catch pokemon etc. etc.

    Or they could give the CPU Pokemon with actual sets and EV spreads, not dumb shit like Grass Knot Conkeldurr / Vacuum Wave Scizor / Return Blissey. This would make the game much more difficult since the Pokemon are actually functional. They could also make Wild Pokemon much lower leveled so you would have to level grind for hours to become overleveled.

    They already do that in the Battle Frontier places, I don't think they want to make the main game too hard.

    Also if you have to grind on wild Pokemon for any Pokemon game at any time then you really aren't that great :X The main game isn't that hard.

    That would be a cool idea, however I doubt most of the newbie pokemon players would be able to beat it. It requires skill and knowledge about Pokemon mechanics to be successful in that. Though Black 2 has a harder difficulty!

    Uh... Well, some people around here know it because they joined me in my unlucky and unlikely Gaia Project, but I actually tried to make such a game. And the main reason of the failure was the fact that you will never be able to make up a decent storyline for a game so big. Like, do you have any idea of how it is difficult o make the plot of a pkmn game? With all the dialogs and such? Well, imagine a five times bigger thing...

    And, In the end wouldn't it be boring to play through 5 regions, that you have already seen?

    With that said, It would be Impossible to add all five regions to 1 little cartridge, maybe 2 or 3, like Xinc said, but 5? That's impossible, because you have to think on dialoges, characters, Trainers, pokemons, bulding etc would fill alot if you take all 5 regions in one cartridge. So unless Nintendo makes a cartridge that can hold ALOT of data, and they can come up with creative and attracting storylines for each region, It won't be a good idea.

    The story wouldn't be a problem at all if they followed/implemented Pokemon Special's story into the game.

    This would definitely be a console game, as previously said it's just way too much data for a handheld. I'd definitely buy something like this, if Game Freak ever decides to stop making new generations and finally crank this out.

    brilliant idea, been thinking of this for ages..
    customise your character and start with a Pikachu that follows behind you. (every pokemon will follow you when first in party)
    stroyline of game is close to anime
    when you go to next region, only take PIKACHU which rests to level 5 but can keep its moves (they will be significantly weakened due to level 5 rest)
    only when you have all 8 badges of that region can you get your old pokemon for use in league but when go to next region again they go to oak and pikachu resets again.
    when done all 5 regions, you get control of all pokemon and become champion.

    Whether or not it actually works or is terribly screwed over, I would so buy it.
