the point is, video games take up a screen to see them, play them. video chat would/does take up valuable screen space, and is an overall useless feature, since seeing your opponents does little/nothing for the game, and is only really added for a gimmick, trying to get saps like you, and people who don't normally play pokemon to use it, and think that the same game is being added to in some way.
video chat has no place in gaming. whether or not it's pokemon makes little difference.
I don't live nintendo, so no I haven't been keeping up with pokemon such as a die hard nintendo fan (such as yourself) would be. what I have been doing is watching the first season of digimon, kenan & kel, the brak show, home movies, playing team fortress 2, animal crossin wild world, goofy (disney) cartoons, and overall, not being a diehard nintendo fan.
if I, or really anyone else wanted video chat on a game system, I'm sure they would pick nintendo (as it's the only one outside of the eyetoy/that new natal crap that no one cares about) I'm sure that nintendo would be the company to do it with/for. but the audience of poeple that want to have handheld video chat, and don't already own a computer to do so, is extremely limited, in my opinion.
I'm glad they're implementing the email/browser/online gts thing, if they actually do it right, but I don't have high hopes for nintendo now-a-days. too many *censored.2.0*ty remakes of the same damn game with a new option no one cares about.
except for those internet freaks who watch it day and night, ruining the surprise that the game will/should have.
I think/just realized that's probably the reason why games are failing so badly. the internet. single player games, at least. multiplayer is boosted, but when a tiny hint/leak of news gets out, it's all over the web and everyone knows about it, ruining the joy of finding that little hidden gem that the developers put into the game for our enjoyoment in the first place.
no, i wouldn't be happy to find an item/feature like that, I still wouldn't use it. I just now realized (remembered, thinking about brawl) that being exposed to everything about the game before you get it ruins the joy of exploring it for the player.
tl;dr, u mad.
edit:
how did all that typing help in no way?
god, tye, YOUR ignorance is rubbing off on me. by which i mean being unable to get over someone having a different opinion than you.
wait. *censored.3.0*. thinking too much.
