Black and White are the same, other then some pokemon you can't catch in the other, the Legendary Pokemon you get when you face N and that Black has Black City, while White has White Forest.mattsipple4000 said:

You had to pull the one series of cards that partially proves me wrong, didn't you? XDAsuka Soryu said:

One argument that seems to stick, is that the games never change. Well... Most shooters don't change, and still sell millions.
If its not broken, why fix it?
Besides that, Pokemon DOES change; many new pokemon are added, with type matchups that were never seen before. The story is changed a little bit each time, and game mechanics change a little bit. But its still the same "gotta catch 'em all" principle at its core.
Don't like it? Thats fine. Go back to playing Minecraft.
Get Black if you like rotation battles, Fire/Dragon end-game legendary, and a city where you battle trainers for $$$. Also for the 3-4 pokemon you can't get in White.Asuka Soryu said:
Get White if you like triple battles, Electric/Dragon end-game legendary, and a forest where you can catch pokemon you can't find anywhere else and fight trainers every day. Also for the 3-4 pokemon you can't get in Black.
They are very simliar, but not enough to be "ZOMG I NEED BOTH GAMES!!!!!"
!LOLSince I'm too lazy to read all comments, here's my thoughts that may already be said.
Yhatzee has a point in that pokemon is shallow in gameplay, with the only exeption being in multi-play (which half of us being introverts, we'd be unlikely to use.)
From hindsight of my Pokemon play, I can say the appeal is not as a game; but as a sort of pet collection sim. or in shorter, It's all about the pokemon themselves.
In white I collected my 6 favorite pokemon of past and pressent and stopped. I had realised my personality in the world of the game through what I chose (Zekrom, Victini, Umbreon, Zoroark, Lucario) and then there was nothing left to do.
I keep finding I'm buying pokemon for the pokemon only, and I keep coming back to the same conclusions: Pokemon needs to go beyond stratagy, to "evolve" into a new form of gameplay. My hope is a "Hack and Slash" RPG that removes the trainer entirely for a more personal imersion into the pokemon you love (although I'd like to keep the catch 'em all part and use any of the pokemon I choose). However, it's most likely that if they were to do that it would most likely have to be established as an MMO; possibly due to chip space. The problem with that being that there are no "Hack and Slash" MMORPGs; something to do with the PC element maybe.
Of course, it's not likely they'd change the formula at all. Unless of course a competitor does it themselves in a thinly veiled impersonation of pokemon as a H&S RPG... however despite my best search for such a game, I've found none. So it's going on my "list of nonexistant games I'd buy"... which I'll have to make a video of sometime.
...Man that was long.

:/ This review kind of annoyed me and I honestly don't know why. I honestly don't care when games I like get ripped in to (I say, while looking up gold earning tips for Fable 2) but I honestly think that Yahtzee was just looking for excuses to dislike the game. Especially the part about the electric gym -- was he /seriously/ complaining about a *boss* battle not being super easy?
Also, what the fuck, one play style? There's about a million strategies you can use. You can hardly complain about strategy if all you're doing is /power levelling/. Also, we know you don't like turn-based combat. __This does not mean that there is something inherently wrong with the genre so please stop implying it.__
And seriously, how can you honestly say that the series hasn't budged an inch since POKEMON __FUCKING__ YELLOW? Are you shitting me?
Glad we both agree that N is a complete twat though. __Stop telling me you can talk to my Pokemon, you fucking freak__.
oh god this turned out being complete tl;dr sorry

Dear Yatzee,
I stopped watching your reviews because you sound like my mum when I was 12 and she stood over my shoulder telling me that collecting badly drawn animals was a dumb idea for a game.
In closing, you don't get it at all. And you never will. Get back to watching Keeping up appearances.
Lots of non-parental-resentment-projection love,
Jader.

One note I'd like here: Yes, there are many stratagies, however; only one is needed in campaign, and one for capture play. Those are embeded in meta lore as "all you need". and if you're not a multiplayer fan, that legacy holds up with the Level&super-effective; as the highest NPC has lv 75 and you can go to 100. However the many stratageis ARE needed in multiplayer, so I can't say either of you are "wrong".MonocleClaire said:
Of course, for me I stand by my "evolve beyond stratagy", if only because I enjoy involuntary campaign challenges and am not one for multiplayer... (and that I like hack and slash)... so while I say it's probably good for gameplay if you like multiplayer stratagy, (or whatever it is I haven't thought of yet) I'm going to say that my personal preference in gameplay alone sides with yhatzee.
I still like the pokemon though, They're cute.

There's already been a hack and slash Pokemon game (lots in fact) and it's not very popular.
Really?! Three questions, One; are they cannon? Two; where can I find them? Three; you don't mean pokepark do you? I thought that one was a mini-game game like mario party...MonocleClaire said:
In any case thank you for telling me.
Dude, you need to chill out, not everyone plays the game competitively.Onyx Oblivion said:Still the Rock Tomb TM was in the area before the gym, and most Ground types can learn it. And should have learned it, expecting Flying types or not.Loop Stricken said:Yeah but she had TWO of the little bastards! And they switched out every time they used whateverthefuck move it is she has.Onyx Oblivion said:You got your game strategy thrown off by EMOLGA enough to complain about it? Pokemon wasn't EASY enough for you that a Gym Leader you COULDN'T sweep with one move is a negative point against it?
The bane of Yahtzee's existence.
Oh really? I was wondering how I was exp sharing a second pokemon and still keeping my first so much stronger than the rest. Are you referring to the exp share? Or is there some mystical item that I have never heard of in 12 years of pokemon?Desert Tiger said:
Nice review. I still like Pokemon (despite being old enough to know better), and would like to get one of the new games. (Not sure which one, though, maybe I'll wait until Pokemon Gray inevtably comes out).
Well, maybe I shold get back to playing Pokemon Platinum, I've been meaning to play it but I keep getting distacted...

*Raise hand* I haven't played pokemon and I'm indifferent about it.. and no one burned me so far... Wait , there's an angry mob at the do- OH GOD HELP ME THEY'RE POURING GASOLINE ON MY HOUSE
I gotta ask, do the random Trainers you encounter still say the most retarded lines before challenging you?
