Pokemon Farm for the Wii

[Crankyman]

Awww... I hope this means free breeding. If it does, cool. That Day Care Couple has sucked my money away long enough.

 

[Æsahættr]

Well I suppose, once you've downloaded it, they could quite easily release updates when a new gen is released. That way, people who've paid for it won't be paying for the same game twice. Still doesn't really explain why they had to make Chimchar look like an Elebit.

 

[Zeta]

Oh wow. That game is terminally cute. Simple uberchibi Pokemon of every kind. @_@

 

[Altoeevees]

0.0 I must have it. It's the "Day-Care" game i wanted since i watched the youtube clip with lucario and Gardevoir n the Day-care while Lucas and the little girl watches ^-^ But i don't have a Wii...

Won't the bigger Pokemon be frightening looking though? D:

And I understand that's really not supposed to be that much complex of a game, but yeah, the graphics could have been better even with the deformed style.

"Nintendo has announced Pokemon Bokujou, which translates to the English Pokemon Farm. With this Wii Ware title, you can transfer your Pokemon from Pearl and Diamond to the Wii, then raise them in a farm-like environment."

Not exactly sure how you raise an egg in a "farm-like environment."

Well, it's still in beta though.

according to IGN it comes out in Japan in March '08. I think it's gonna be a long, long time, 'til touchdown brings me 'round again to find... yeah, song, etc. I'm just hoping it's a little more than just a box.

please don't tell me the thing on the right is supposed to be a bulbasaur

 

[vee2x_paradox]

Well...the Gyrados is out of water...

...and it looks like it's moving around like the Chain Chomp in Mario. D;

Nope, Ivysaur.

 

[Ino-Chan]

It's the new chain-chomp, Garados!

Seriously, I will name one ChainChomp for the game since I'll buy it just for the holding them instead of my over flowing boxes.

 

[Geodude]

Well think about it. Theres going to be over 550 models counting all Unowns, Burmy, Wormadam, Shellos, Gastrodon, Deoxys & Arceus. They gotta stick to basics to fit on the Wii's memory and still have space for everything else

True, and maybe the final version will turn out looking ok. I mean, it's obvious they're going for a super-chibi style...but they could've at least used 2D cutouts in a 3D environment, like Paper Mario. You'd think something like that would save a lot of space.

 

[Habunake]

I've heard those graphics are alot harder to do.

 

[Symos]

I'll be happy if it turns out to be a mass storage program like box. My DS is getting kinda crowded and I stil have many on my gamecube card.

 

[Bartholomew Kuma]

Nope, Ivysaur.

No, actually I think that is suppose to be a Venusaur. The flower has opened.

Anyways, with a little graphical touch ups on the character models this game will look great. I can see why it was done in this manner, but at least adding a little more polygons will make it look better.

As for the game itself, I really hope it has farming tasks of designing the farm for monsters and raising them with interactions. That itself would make me love this game.

I would get it if I had a Wii but Nintendo thinks everyone has a Wii now.

 

[Æsahættr]

No they don't. They just realised that more people who own DS's have a Wii as well, rather than 2 DS's. So they released it for the Wii to make transfers own your own Pokemon a lot easier than having to track down a friend who will lend you their DS.

Ok,if you say so.
