Is Nintendo's latest trademarked 'Pokémon Adventure Camp' property heading to Wii?
When it comes down to it, Pokémon is going to make piles of cash no matter what kind of game is released. You could even do a typing game with a keyboard peripheral and kids would still want it... oh wait, they did that already.
While Nintendo has already announced their and Game Freak's plans to release a direct sequel to the last generation of Pokemon in the likes of Pokemon Black and White 2 for the DS, a new trademark that's been filed by the folks at GameFreak, Nintendo, and Creatures Inc. points to a new game heading to the Wii :
If you can't read moonrunes, or Japanese as what I'm being told those squigly lines above are, they translate into 'Pocket Monsters Adventure Camp.' I have a little bit of a hunch that this will probably be something closer to the PokePark series for the Wii, rather than another property being introduced to the handheld market, or at least an extension of it.
Any guesses on what we can expect?

You couldn't count the number of Pokemon games released each year on each hand if you were an octoman. Yet people complain about Assassin's Creed, Halo and Call of Duty being milked with one title a year at most...hmm....

well this is a spin-off game, not a regular entry.

Yeah, now that I think about it most Nintendo games aren't criticized for being "milked"....strange.
The Stickman
It's a most wonderful thing called double standards, if it's something people like and feel an attachment to then they aren't going to start calling it out on such things, something you don't like however? Tear it to shreds, because you can.

Nintendo doesn't release a mario, zelda, metroid, etc. game every year, they usually take some time between releases, and when more than one are released the same year its usually a different type of game, an example would be new super mario bros wii its not the same as mario galaxy 2 and both are "mario games"
The Stickman
Last year we had about 7 Zelda games released or re-released as well as numerous Mario games.
Neto87
Well you got me on that one and it's a good point, but as you said most of them were re-released, when they do a new one they usually take some time, anyway I agree on pokemon being milked, maybe there is variety but still, there are a lot of pokemon games every year haha

The difference is quite simple: they have variety in what they release. Can you really say that about CoD?
The Stickman
The difference being there is just one of those, it's a bit hard to have variety when there's only one game out every year.
LimeCatMaster
But it's still the same: with these, it isn't. And obviously, it isn't hard, because as you said, Nintendo does it. It's not a double standard. It's common sense.
