With the release of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, the franchise has truly entered the next generation of gaming with a bang, as well over half a million pre-orders were filed for the two games. It also introduced a much different aesthetic feel, since even the graphics simulate 3D.
Plus, the new games host the massive land of Sinnoh and an underground area. Combine that with worldwide battling and trading, and these two games may offer the best gameplay in Pokemon history.
However, there are now nearly 500 Pokemon, so it may be extremely difficult to “Catch ‘Em All.” Additionally, many Pokemon are still unobtainable: players have to pray they can attend a Nintendo event.
The new Pokemon have also drawn criticism; some argue they are much less original than those of the earlier games, while others say the flashy characters belong more in Yu-Gi-Oh! than in Pokemon.
So, how can the Pokemon franchise continue to cater to its older fans while still attracting the invaluable younger gamers?
