It's wondering why they never actually made a pokémon platformer game, it would have sell like butter among the younger ones in the 90s and 2000s. When I was a kid I desperately wanted one too, but the only things close were fan games like Monster Go Go Go and Super Masato by Pokemoa.
PokePark?
>>58728638It's more of an action and I actually talked about 2D platformers.
>>587286302D platformers were dying by the time Pokemon became popular.
>>58728706Not among kids
>>58728630i'd play a megaman/zero game with pokemon. Running around a stage using pokemon moves.That was one of my favorite things to do in subspace emissary in brawl
Because Mario exists, you dumb fucker and Nintendo weren't making a pokémon platformer spin-off, to draw potential interest and sales from their Marquee IP of the fat italian jumper. In case you spent the last almost 30 years in a diabetic coma, they didn't do half bad with how they DID present the early days of Pokémon.
>>58728630TPCI just make a pokemon action rpg (rumbleshits don't count) and my money is yours
>>58728630Bing bing wahoo already covers that department
>>58728935Mario isn't the only nintendo platformer, sure DK is the hard version, but Kirby? Why you can have Kirby but not Pokemon?
>>58728706I was born in 1997 and both child me and adult me adores platformers. Talk about shit you actually know about
>>58729605I named my Excadril, Sparkster.
>>587296051997 to 2007 or so, that 10-year span, most companies couldn't be forced to make a 2d platformer. Gamecube and GBA didn't have any new 2d mario games, and they only relented with NSMB because of a massive push to retain the brand. Plenty of kids of that era grew up with RERELEASED 2d platformers - I was born in 97 too and my favorite game of all time is Yoshi's Island because of how much depth I found in it playing the GBA port - but 2d platformers just weren't being made, and were generally seen by the industry as unappealing to consumers because of how ubiquitous they were in the previous gens.>Talk about shit you actually know about
>>58728706Among gaymers but they were still extremely common on the gba and DS
>>58728935Nintendo has multiple RPG series and one of the criticisms of Nintendo in this time was that they didn't have a big main Mario game on the GBA
