Since there has recently been a rumor going out which I believe, due to the time with 5th Gen revealed and the DSiXL almost out in every region, anyways, said rumor says that the DS2 development kits have been sent to 2nd Party developers to test them out for their games(The Pokémon Company was the one they said had it).

The rumor also states that the new handheld will have motion sensing capabilities built-in. So...this makes me wonder. How do you think that motion sensing capabilites could be used in a Pokémon game? I think it might stick to bare basics since the DS' touch screen is only used minimally in D/P/Pt./HG/SS. I would probably bet some spinning of a voltorb minigame in the game corner, or some special itemfinder or other kind of item which would use it's capabilites.

What if they don't stick with the basics and you can tilt the DS to dodge attacks or something.
If the rumors are true the 5th generation can change Pokemon games a lot.

The more you shake it the more likely you are to catch it.

The thing I most dislike about gimmicks like this, which is most directly akin to the Sixaxis controller, is that these types of control mechanisms just get relegated to the most useless functions, like minigames and itemfinder and such. At least HG/SS is promising to use the touch screen productively. The last thing I want is for the DS to become one of those motion-controlled iPods.

I agree with GreenLiquid, though I think that a small control function (besides mini-games, talking about actual storyline play) would be interesting. Don't know what it might be that it could do though...

I third that notion.

You know how the DS's mic powered Chatot's Chatter? Maybe the DS2's motion sensitivity could power Ground-type moves? The more you shake it/the more motion, the higher chance of a better Magnitude. Or something.

As great as powering attacks with motion sound, I'd really not like having to shake my game every time I attack, or really do any of it.

As far as the coolest functions being limited to minigames, I find this to be exceeding true, yet not a bad thing. It would be nice if it weren't so, but if you put too much if it in any one game, then the game becomes the function, and so gets annoying after a while. Take kirby canvas curse as an example.

To be honest, I wouldn't want to shake my console every time I inflict an attack on another Pokémon. It would become boring and redundant after sometime.
I say, they should add motion-sensing to the games adequately without overusing it. I still don't exactly know how motion-sensing would work with Pokémon games, but I'm not pessimistic about it either.

I hated most is that Nintendo keep making new consoles such as DS Lite and DSi, forcing you to buy new ones.

yeah shaking the ds would increase the likely hood of droping it or throwing it maybe it would use motion sensors for throwing poke balls.

Keep in mind, that if a portable handheld was to incorporate motion control, then it would have to be designed to counter things such as tossing it across a room. Nintendo put a wrist strap on the Wii Remote, didn't they? The only reason they made a Wii Remote Jacket was because idiots didn't wear the strap and decided throwing it into their TV's was a good idea.

Well I think they Gameboy game with something like that.

But the motion sensors were in the cartridge.

I hope the motion controls don't affect the game.

I doubt they'd make the motion controls a central part of the gameplay because that would probably ruin it. I'd like to see it implemented in a creative way, but I don't have any idea as to what that way would be. As has been said, it'll probably end up in some unimportant section of the game, like a minigame, which is fine by me as long as the game's good.
As Lite said, they'd have to have a measure to keep people from throwing the thing across the room if they were to put full-blown motion controls in a handheld. Just a tilt sensor's a different story, though.

Okay, so either the DS2 (Now known as the 3DS) scrapped motion control, or it kept motion control and is using 3-D graphics. Topic change! How will Pokemon games be displayed now?

I just hope that shaking the DS doesn't become a core point in games, especially competitive ones. It could work for specific games that use it, but I wouldn't want detailed formulas in Pokemon games to be altered, for instance.

Maybe you'd get a First-Person view on the bottom screen, and you can use that while you walk around to find things? The top screen would remain the same though.

Odds are they'll have the motion sensoring in maybe a new version of the pokethon, (hopefully it'll use the microphone also) wi-fi club, and maybe even a gym puzzle.

I cant wait to see Zorua in 3d!! Really this thing looks awsome!

YOU COULD ALWAYS THROW YOUR DS TO SIMULATE A POKEBALL---oh wait...it broke.
