To some this is the lamest game around, but to others it is an amazing RPG. I for one love the new games on DS,anyone share this opinion? Also anyone wanna trade? My FC is 146357487774

They're all so damn much alike, and all so damn easy...
I loved the classics (red, green, blue, yellow), liked the follow-ups (gold, silver), found the next ones to be okay-ish (ruby, sapphire), and then moved on and stopped caring.

I beat the same game plenty of times now.

Also, I have to say the storyline isn't that original (especially after being recycled over and over), and there's no real character development or strategey involved either. I've never lost a game, using only my starter pokemon all the time. In fact, by doing so it gets such a high level that it even kills it's opposite with ease. For example, if you start with a fire type, you have no problem taking on water just because you're like 20 levels higher...

I do understand that people like them, but only if they haven't played more than one or exceptionally two of the older ones.

While I agree with you that they are very repetitive and by ruby they had really lost their luster, I feel that I must mention that the black and white have an actual story. While it is nothing truly amazing it is way better than previous generations. Also I have played them since blue and red and have played every game since. I have told myself that I am done with this series but something always calls me back, only this time I am happy about that.

Oh and One last thing, the AI may be dumb and easy to beat but once you start facing other real life people some real crazy strategy is needed because most of the time you cannot just brute force other players.

If I had three wishes, one of those wishes would be to have a real life Growlithe.

YES YES YES! Love Pokemon too. The only generation I missed was HG/SS, but I'll probably go back and play that at some point. Finished the main game in White, really enjoying doing side-stuff and catching as many Pokemon as possible.

Never got into Pokemon, I never really understood the fascination, though I don't think they're stupid games at all. To each his own.

I love Pokemon. First gen is the greatest, but I still love diamond and pearl and other of the later games. They're the best way to kill time ever. I'm a water pokemon fan all the way!

I found pokemon as a good distraction while deployed. Apparently, a lot of gamers I know felt that way out in the Middle East or in the 'Stans as well.
