POKEMON

[Kariudo]

It's essentially the same game i've been playing for 12 years now, without the cool pokemon. since aside from that its corely the same game, just new skins for every pokemon..

This is pretty much true for any game franchise.
Final Fantasy
Ace Combat
Star Ocean
Legend of Zelda
Halo
etc...

yes, all those games started out with tons of cool pokemans

remember kids: originality isn't the only factor in a good game or a fun game.

well, yes. i'd expect something refreshing, considering i haven't played since D/P came out.

I honestly think it's the best in the series. Some of the best/unique characters and dialog I've seen in it, and I generally enjoyed it. You're welcome to hate it though. Just don't rain on the parade of those that actually enjoy it.

this.

even playing the jap version and not knowing wtf they were saying i already enjoyed the story infinitely more than any of the past games, which says a lot about how crappy the stories usually are, but i really enjoyed it. And the villain in this actually has a point...kinda...

also, the fact that there aren't any old pokemon in the main campaign gives it a totally fresh feel which hasn't been felt since you first picked up red blue or yellow (or in your case, gold/silver)

Pretty much agree with Kariudo. The last new Pokemon game I touched were Crystal, after that the anime gotten stale and the games didnt interest me anymore. But now, after almost a decade I feel the sudden urge to play a new Pokemon game besides the rave reviews and how most of my friends who played the game has felt about it, none of them have complained to me about anything wrong besides B & W having essentially the same formula. I'll probably get Black later this year or when they come out with a 3rd game in this section, which is inevitable. Pokemon Yellow, Silver, Crystal, and Stadiums 1 & 2 sucked alotta time outta me due to their amazing replayablities which is my favorite factor of the games. Sure the plots aren't close to amazing and even character relations are almost non-existent which to me is 2 of the most important things of an RPG but the Pokemon games aren't your normal RPGs and they have addictive gameplay. Still aint checkin out the newer anime though, Ash should've became a Pokemon Master and hooked up with Misty ages ago. He's gonna be fuckin around and doing the same thing for the next 4 decades. And by that time we'll have well over 2000 Pokemon, I'm sure.
