Is DLC possible with Pokemon DS games?

[Joelulz]

I know the DS card has a memory limit, but is it possible to make DLCs for Pokemon like some other console games?

And Idea I had would be for them to make each region in gen V format, and release it on the Dsi store for say, $20-$25. (They could release a region each year.)
Then, once you downloaded it, you had to have Black/White in your Dsi and then you could play the game. It wouldn't be connected to the cartridge physically, but Your information would transfer over so you could play through the storyline of FRLG/HGSS/RSE/DPPt on your trainer account.

Once you beat a certain storyline, you could then Transfer Other region Pokemon to that Region and keep playing through it.

pew pew pew.

That would be cool, but Im thinking that would require a ton of memory, im not even sure if this can be done, i cant imagine how many SD cards you'd need to save a whole game on

They've already done it with C-gear skins, and I believe one of them was actually a fan-creation.

thats not what he's talking about, he talking about storing and playing entire Pokemon games on the DS and being able to transfer the content to other games on the same system, like downloading a game onto another game

I think he is talking about DLC here because of the fan mad creation, thus i wouldn't be possible to program before in the games so it is original content that got added.

So if the ds cart could take it with it's capacity you could store new area's on the cart but i daudt there's enough space for such a thing.

On a regular DS card theres no way, I hear 3DS cards have alot more space though

In general, though, Nintendo seems to have a company wide unofficial policy against DLC.

I haven't seen first party DLC, other then Disc Locked Content events. I haven't seen updates either on the DS.

On the Wii, however, you can get DLC and game updates for third party games. Just not very many first party games. I wonder why.....

Aren't things you get from Wi-Fi DLC?

It would be impossible because Nintendo would have to recall every cart and install the DLC to make it avalible

 

[Proxima Centauri B]

its not possible at this time and i dont think they will ever make that happen

That's not how DLC works. We're talking about new content downloaded onto the carts, like they do with every other system except for the DS. We're not talking about things like GameFreak's silly way of adding 4 "hidden" Pokemon in the game that only need a key or event trigger to access, but are still already shipped with the game.

If you have ever played any other console, you know what DLC is. It lets you download new stuff onto the game.

That's not DLC, that's Disc Locked Content. The DS downloads an event card to unlock the event, similar to how some publishers make you pay to download a 100kb file that unlocks content on the disc with the PS3 and 360 and sometimes Wii.

Being able to get stuff off of Wi-Fi is probably as close as we will get.
