I love Pokemon and all but it's hard to keep up with all the great games coming out these days. I feel like I'll never be able to put the time into this it deserves. Also, that 2-gear Pokemon looks like an all-time low for the series. Sadly, maybe it's time to bow out. :(

@(Unverified) Actually, I have. And you're right, Probopass is worse. It's like the horrific offspring of Mario and a boulder.

Man, that Giraffarig thing looks super lame! Pokemon is so stupid! I'm never buying a new Pokemon game ever again!
(Me, a few years after that)
Wow, that Ralts thing is really stupid looking. I'm probably getting too old for Pokemon.

Jesus, that Bidoof thing is ugly. I quit Pokemon, man. Game over.

I still think that Claydol is the most horrible Pokemon ever. 0 charm.

I can't play this game anymore. I refuse to participate in a game that has an advertised ending, but is yanked away anytime you get close... gotta catch them all... what a joke. You know they're just going to add more and more pokemon. Catching them all is just not possible and will never be possible.

You know they haven't used the "Gotta catch 'em all" tagline for years now, right? They haven't used it since Gen2 (Gold/Silver) or Gen3 (Ruby/Sapphire)... I forget exactly when.

I always have to say it, but gen 1 and 2 are on different systems. Gen 1 was designed for the original gb, while gold/silver were designed to take advantage of the gb color (shiny pokemon, etc) and crystal didn't even work on the original gb.

Nope, Red/Green was for the Game Boy and Gold/Silver/Crystal was for the Game Boy Color. Which is considered successor to the Game Boy (according to Wikipedia).

As the original releases yes. If you had of read any further into that wikipedia page you would also realise that they released green, an improved version of red/blue for the gbc and that outside japan red/blue use green as the base.

I'm impressed that (it appears) they actually added some idle animations in battle for the pokemon. That being said, I'm very disappointed that they haven't made the battle models 3D yet.

I will probably buy this. If I do, I also think it will be the last iteration I participate in.

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Teach Pokemon to understand
The power that's inside

No which edition? Because D&D quit being D&D after second edition with Guygax(?) having no say [or part]in third edition and up.

You know, I liked RSE, I even tolerated DPP but....dear god those are some of the worst designs for fictional creatures I have ever seen. Looks like this current generation is my last.

Can't wait. Although with all the changes there is to this new game, format and story wise, I can't believe people are writing the game off because of ONE bad design.

what was the other thing? I would make some jovially scathing remark about multiple sclerosis but knowing my luck, i'd be right, and i'd have to feel bad about it afterward.
