Without watching the video (as I don't really use or like videos, because I feel like it might spoil stuff for me), I look at all the screenshots for when I get back, and I must say, I'm already more intrigued than I was when this article first came up - and I was already pretty stoked back then.
It might be just me, but the battlefields almost look similar to those in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, or is that just me...? Either way, I could definitely see that as an interesting game engine.
I'm not exactly sure why this game is receiving hate from people. Think about it: Pokemon hasn't done anything like this before. This shows that they aren't afraid to step out of their comfort zone and try new things. Pokemon Black/White was a start to that - they introduced a really nice plotline and some interesting characters to go with it, such as the legendary hero story, and the characters N and Ghetsis, arguably two of the most dynamic characters this franchise has ever seen. (We got Cheren, Bianca, and Juniper, three terrible and annoying people, to go along with it, but take the good with the bad, I suppose.)
This game is definitely a step in the right direction. I've always been a fan of crossover elements and I know a lot of older fans are as well. This game is trying to appeal more to the older generation, which is a GREAT move on Pokemon's part - after all, we stuck with them when it first started out, and we've carried along with them despite all the stupid things they've done, because we enjoy the games for what they are. Yet we don't just like the same old repetitive things either - we want to see something more, something outside the box. This game I believe does that.
Right now I'm pretty optimistic about this game, although whether Pokemon will follow through on our expectations...that remains to be seen, but I'd love to see what happens.
So come on, Tajiri. Wow me with everything you have!
