>Were there any other DS games that influenced the new elements in Black/White - like Dragon Quest IX's Tag mode for example?
>Actually, back around the time of Fire Red and Leaf Green I already had the idea of Tag mode, which was obviously before Dragon Quest IX, and I remember consulting with Nintendo about this idea.
>But because of the technology restrictions it never came to fruition. So nothing came from other titles. And what Black/White can do is totally different from what DQIX can do.
>You can instantly know what other players near you are doing. For example, whether you're using C-Gear or InfraRed or EntraLink...
>So did your ideas for the C-Gear influence always-online 3DS features such as StreetPass mode?
>[Laughs] I wouldn't know whether the C-Gear feature in Black/White influenced the technology in 3DS!
>In previous generations there has always been a third game to supplement the first two releases. Ruby/Sapphire had Emerald, Diamond/Pearl had Platinum. Can we expect to see a third Pokémon game on DS or perhaps 3DS?
>My mission right now is to have players enjoy these new Black and White versions in Europe and the US, so right now I'm not considering anything further.
