Haven't played Pokemon since the original red version on the gameboy. I got it the first year it came out and it was awesome. I played the shit out of it. But I didn't see the point in all the new versions. Now its gotten so blown out of proportion that its just dumb.
Never understood why Pokémon specifically gets ragged on for simply- y'know- lasting.
Essentially- it's only doing what tonnes of other franchises are doing as well;
Mario, MegaMan, Metroid, Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, Virtua Fighter, Soul Calibur, Tales of Etcetera, Assassin's Creed, Gears of War, Battlefield, Splinter Cell, Call of Duty, Fire Emblem, Tomb Raider, Devil May Cry, Castlevania... how many games do these franchises all have?
Difference with most of those is, the story changes/ they are slightly - majorly different. And/ or progress with the story. Pokemon is the same old every time.
That being said, I still find it fun as shit. And the story is slightly different each time. Still same goal, but the enemies differ, their motives differ, etc etc
I have all of first and second gen, and crystal is still my favourite. Need to get me a GBA, so I can actually play them >.>
And then get all the GBA ones, too
