So people do this? Buy or ignore the PMD titles based not on the gameplay they offer, but which Pokémon are or aren't in them? Genuinely curious.

[lindsy95]

I still plan on buying it. I just lost a lot of interest.
Because I am a spoiled babby.

On another note, because I don't want to bump the FE thread with a double post

Looks like people who pre-order FE:A from gamestop get the Art book.

I wasn't terribly interested in the first place. That being said, the Pokémon limitation doesn't help my enthusiasm any.
I do believe a few people will pass on this title because they won't be able to play as their Pokémon. It's one of the things that helped sell past MD games.

I don't think it's going to result in a measurable dent in the sales.

I thought it was the games offering Pokémon-based gameplay of a sort, in an environment and with a story completely different from the core titles.

If that did happen, I can't say I'd be surprised.

Yes, that's a factor, just like the choice of playable Pokémon is "one of the things that helped sell past MD games".


I'm currently undecided on whether I'll buy it. I'm not particularly excited for it anymore.

[Manna]

I'm honestly more pumped for the story, though I find the playable Pokes to be pretty important too.

[Azran Flame]

If it seems to have a good storyline, then I'll buy it, though I am rather disappointed about the lack of variety in Pokémon.

[HRRlion]

Who plans on getting the dlc for this game? Im not really that excited by it

They always have good storylines, I don't see why this would be any different.

It needs to be exceptionally good, though. Even better than PMD Sky, because I'm honestly really iffed about this (lack of Pokémon).

[Hydrohs]

It's true that it does lack a lot of Pokemon. But there's always the potential they could be added later as DLC.

Which you'll have to pay for.

Not necessarily, but would it be such a big deal if you did?

[Azran Flame]

Yes, since my parents don't let me buy "unnecessary" stuff like that. Some people don't have as much freedom as you guys do, you know.

[ForeverFlame]

Don't tell them you're buying DLC, duh. Just get an eShop card and spend some of it on the DLC and the rest on actual games.

"eShop card" and "actual games" are included in that list of "unnecessary stuff", unfortunately.

Well, maybe they'll let me get an eShop card for my birthday if I ask, provided that the new PMD gets released here soon enough... (It's Q1 2013 for Europe too, right?)

They don't give you like a weekly allowance or something?

[empoleon49]

The lack of Pokemon is really annoying, but I'll still consider based of reviews and the story is always amazing! Also, my friend-code is 2509-0954-5501.

No, they're the kind of people who let me buy stuff I want whenever I want, no matter what the price, but only if they think it's not something pointless, etc.

Then just tell them it's a game.
