In the daily Japanese newspaper Nihon Keizai Shinbum, a Nintendo rep offered up the official reason for the demise of this year's Spaceworld. Central to the videogaming giant's decision is the desire to concentrate on the Pokémon Festival, set for this summer in Japan. Since Spaceworld would have overlapped with this event, Nintendo felt it prudent to eliminate one event in favour of concentrating on the other. The speaker did not, however, go on to elaborate on how the Pokémon Festival would be improved as a result of cancelling Spaceworld.

LMAO, that`s hillarious... "Let`s see, Spaceworld, or Pok`mon... Hmm, I say we go for the Pok`mon"...

I think it was probably along the lines of

"We could show some cool stuff we're doing but never going to release and piss everyone off again, or we can faff around with Pokemon in public, winding them up even more"

Do it SUCK??

Well, I think that Nintendo is just moving toward the world outside japan, were the GC is very successful. So they don't need to show their products to the Japanese.

(It's just a theory) :bunny:

yeah and what are they doing at ECTS this year?

 

[Eagle]

Yeah, I've hated Pokemon from the very beginning.

as much as i hate pokemon also, i just love the games, they're actually pretty long, and fun too. i send an email to noa about making a 3-d environment adventure rpg game, who wants to see what i emailed them?

 

[sya64]

Me!

 

[gokuss4]

well guess what? I WONT SO

 

[Romboy]

Nintendo are act like fools, if they listened to people they would make serious cash. Oh, well their loss...

 

[thecraft]

I agree with ya Romboy. The Gamecube and N64 are my fav. consles, but they get ruined when a Poke'mon is released for it.
Maybe I should continue developing Poke'mon Killa, perhaps?

 

[Raging Fuel]

How can you say that Nintendo are not listening to the people? Nintendo make millions from Pokemon, so obviously people want more of it. For every gamer, like you, who doesn't like Pokemon there are about 5 who do.

And I'm one of em.

your all a bunch of bakas .. in japan.. girls.. boys.. young women.. old women.. young men.. old men.. hell even dogs love pokémons .. to them it's now almost like a part of their tradition.. just like anime.. they make massive amounts of money from it.. and outside of japan.. they make a hell of a bunch of money off of it too.. if i was leading the big N.. i'd be making a few 100 more pokemons every month ..

(and secretly have them all stacked up in a shooting range.. and use every weapon i could possibly get my hands on to shoot/blow em all to bits.. and i'd use a tank to run over picachu over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over)..
