in order to get mad, I think I have to first understand what you're saying XD
I really enjoy the concept of Pokemon (catch creatures, make 'em fight), but, honestly, Pokemon is way too simplistic and just feels like continual level-grinding to me. Maybe the new ones offer more, but I no longer buy portable gaming systems so I won't find out.
My main problem with Pokemon is that its popularity has ruined the concept (catch creatures, make 'em fight) for everyone else. Seriously, can you imagine a game on par (story- and graphics-wise) with, say, Dragon Age or Elder Scrolls where you go around capturing, training, and fighting monsters. That would be an epic game.

I want a dirty, hairy chest
And beard around my jaws
To catch disease is my real test
To spread it is my cause
I will travel across the land
Sneezing far and wide
Each Pathogen to understand
Each germ that lives inside
PATHOGEN
Gotta catch 'em all
It's them or me
A fight for immunity
Oh, they'll be my end
In a world we must offend
PATHOGEN
Gotta catch 'em all
Your face so blue
The doctors will pull you through
Cough on me, I'll sneeze on you
PATHOGEN!
Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all
PATHOGEN!

in the next game they should make missingno a secret legendary to completely freak out older players like me.
but yeah, me and my adult cousin were discussing firered and black/white the other day; my dad kept making fun of us, but screw him, we had a fun little conversation

Than make a team of what are known as "sweepers", and take it online. You can win with that on occasion, as long as your stats are right.Scarim Coral said:
Never. I know you want it, but this is a bad season to ask for sequels. I'm not saying Snap was a bad game, Dead Rising, Snap, and Beyond Good and Evil actually showed how much fun cameras can be in game, but like i said...icyneesan said:Pokemon is eternal. Everyone enjoys it and people who say they dont enjoy it either haven't actually played it before (apparently these people aren't fictional) or people that are closet Pokemon fans
Now when can we expect Pokemon Snap 2....
BAD SEASON. BioShock 2? Kane and Lynch 2? Golden Sun 3? Crackdown 2? I'm not sure of the stagnant sequel curse of 2010 is still in effect. Hold off on your begging.
...that being said, i remember enjoying the Pokemon games. Maybe reducing the juvenile nature of the game will allow nostalgia to run it's course.

Can't wait till Friday! *laughs at Americans who get it on Sunday*
This article states the obvious.
I still love Pokemon in (most) of it's forms, and I am over the age of 18. Pokemon White specifically (screw the albino dragon, Pokemon Black!) looks fucking awesome, from previews and reviews so far.

sad thing about this comic... its trueCowabungaa said:We knew that already:
Man, I can't wait to go back to college. That is, if the course I end up in has enough nerds.
Anyway, I pretty much always knew this. There really are a bucket ton of stats and variables in the game. You can indeed play it very very hardcore. But heej, kids can just as easily faceroll their way through the game. As I did. And still do. Except when I'm doing a Nuzlocke run. That shit is hard...
well, I'm 19PunkRex said:
but English is not my first language, so there's stuff that I tend to, eh, not catch =P
My girlfriend and I are in our mid 20s and we love pokemon games. I never got into it until I bought Heart Gold so that we'd have a game we could get into together. Pokemon is very 2 sided. There's the cute creatures for the kids. For the adults there's the in depth battle system with oodles of abilities and numerous battle factors to take into account that keeps it interesting for even the jaded gamer like myself.
Interesting side note. Since I make a living making geeky clothing, I've decided to make pokemon hats for the premier. I'll be sporting a Haunter hat and my girlfriend wants a Shinx.
