Next DS Pokemon game?

An IV man like in the Battle frontier in Emerald would be nice, and may give me the incentive to start breeding in DS Games.
 
I really hope they do end up remaking GS. That was the first generation of Pokemon I played so it holds some good memories. Everything I really want out of it has been said before. Elemental Punch tutors, Ho-oh, Lugia, Legendary Beasts with good IVs. Recently I considered going after the Raikou in my FireRed only to hear that the RNG is messed up. Now that was a real bummer.

Here's hoping that this isn't a made up rumor. I need more box storage anyways. =P

This is probably a terminology mixup, but names are trademarked, and not copyrighted. There is a big difference. Copyright cannot be applied to such a short phrase... that is what the purpose of Trademarks are for. (See US Copyright Office FAQ for details)

Of course, that is US copyright law that I'm talking about, but I'd assume it is similar in Japan...

I'm leaning towards "fake rumor" at the moment, unless someone can get me the original article... of course the terms are mixed up often, so maybe the original article screwed up on that part. I'd assume Nintendo of America would register their Trademark to protect their rights... so we should be able to search it.

Unfortunately, I'm not a lawyer and the US Trademark search page is a bit more complex than I thought it would be. Someone who knows more about this stuff should see if this claim even holds true.

EDIT: Okay, I tried searching the US Trademark dictionary and...
http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=brwsidx&state=spmc9n.1.1

Nothing found. I don't see any proof that Nintendo of America has even attempted to register the name yet. Of course, the US Trademark and Patent office may be processing the trademark application... but regardless, I don't see any evidence for "DuskGold" getting registered.

I searched here and it gave me nothing - although "FireRed" doesn't show up as a trademark either so... maybe someone can dig through this

But a search in google links to this article that was written in july of last year that might have triggered this DuskGold stuff.

The FireRed part is a good point... but is that article the earliest? It doesn't even mention that Nintendo has trademarked/copyrighted the name.

EDIT: Because I'm not 100% confident in my own ability of legal issues, I decided to check the US Copyright Office. Here is the Copyright on FireRed (which protects the game, not the name).

There is no such Copyrights on Pokemon DuskGold or Pokemon DawnSilver. IIRC, the game actually has to be made before it can be copyrighted... so it doesn't make sense for the copyright to apply right now anyway (assuming the game is in production). But just in case anyone wants to check the US Copyright office for copyrights anyway... there is my research on that issue.

The "DuskGold/DawnSilver was copyrighted by Nintendo" all seem to refer back to Bulbapedia.

The DuskGold/DawnSilver in the "theorized names" part of the article seem to have popped up back in November though, and I find no real source of nintendo "owning" the name.

So yeah, the article is the earliest source i could find.
 
Hopefully they will get around to this eventually - and keep the Fire/Ice/Thunder Punch TM's in the game. That would be just awesome.
 
Don't forget thunder/fire/ice punch were TM's in Gold/Silver/Crystal bought at Goldenrod City. They might do the same thing with the remake ;)
 
And got back to being a TM in D/P...

My point is, there's no saying what Gamefreak will do.

Heck, i'm sure they will come up with even more broken moves, pokemon and items...
 
hopefully they'll be like the tutors in emerald where you buy moves with points instead of one time only like in fr/lg.

Another issue is that DP does not have these TM's, unless DP has updatable TM-slots, I think it's very likely they'll make those moves tutormoves because of that.
 
of course they will made tutors instead of tm... people, how could they make a remake with olds bugs? Of course they will base the core game on the diamond and pearl one... Of course, shiny mechanic, and randomn legends will be like D/P.
I really hope in this remake, btw, Cristal, the one I play more, was really too easy...
 
great it was my favorite gen :)
but the levels can be higherd a bit ofcourse
level 9 pidgeotto.. come on!
 
I hope they make a remake.

1.) The first reason is the music. My goodness...the music was the greatest

2.) It was easy to clone. Nowadays it's either AR or some weird glitch

3.) It was easy to get legendaries. For example, Ho-oh and Lugia.

4.) Movestes were amazong extremespeed dragonite for goodness sake

5.) the storylione was incredible. Team Rocket never gave up! Espicially when you meet a grunt in Cerulian City.

It was easy to get shinies one shiny was broadcasted...come on!
 
It's likely that there will be a new game, as it doesn't seem GameFreaks will let us go too long without something new. Then, we might see a 3rd version of D/P.
 
I actually forgot what G/S/C were like. I mean I still have the games (or maybe I sold them) and I remember I had two copies of silver (one for testing gameshark with)

Anyway I do love Typhlosion. I dont really remember the story but I do remember it had a very fun E4 (like I actually didnt mind replaying it that much, and it didnt feel like a chore).

Also I loved the fact that you could return to the original region (I forget if you can actually battle the old gym leaders), and I liked that you could battle Red.
 
The idea of a GS remake is so amazing both for nostalgia (battle with Red... PIKACHU DAMNIT!) and metagame changes (new move Tutors, Elemental Punches, lol Defense Curl, Extremespeed Dragonite, legendaries) Nintendo would be a bunch of retards if they don't do that.

I mean, even if it's just a Gold/Silver with better graphics and some few additions (even if it's just the lol Defense Curl Tutor), it'd sell like water already >_>
 
How about bringing back Reflect Blissey from RBY :-p ?

Meh, anyone confirm this article yet? The most important tidbit (Trademark / Copyright status) should be publicly avaliable online unless it is still going through the legal system...
