Admit We all Have a Soft Spot (love) for Pokemon...

Most of us don't, but I heard Mystery Dungeon was REALLY bad. The gaming magazine I read gave it a 1.2/5, and that's the only time I've seen that rating.

Red+Blue were a lot of fun in their time. Then Nintendo went nuts and it was too hard to keep up. I think they should have stuck with that Red+Blue, and then with every new game, just improve the graphics but keep the same gameplay, and even allow the players to xfer all their stuff over.

Hm, I haven't heard that Tosh, but then again I never really looked up reviews.

There was a thread about it in TGB a while back, started by Charlotte, I believe. We all obsessed over it for a bit. I loved the game honestly, and couldn't play anything else for a while when I was into it. >_> Only complaint really is that it is somewhat repetitive, and it's not like any other Pokemon game (it's really just a classic Mystery Dungeon game with Pokemon slapped on ^^; ).

Plus I liked how loyal your partner was, T_T it's cute. Even if the rest of the story is kinda dumb, I liked it anyway.


As for Pokemon Ranger... you have to capture them in this weird way by circling them a few times on the touchscreen with the stylus. Once you do, they follow you around, and you can use their ability in the field to get past obstacles. Once you do, they leave. They also leave when you enter a town, so you never get to keep any Pokemon other than your original partner.

I heard you met tons of legendary Pokemon and couldn't even catch them.

What's with that crap :/

Re: Admit We all Have a Soft Spot (love) for Pokemon...

You can catch every Pokemon, including legendaries... just not the first time you meet them.

The storyline has you fight a bunch of legendaries as bosses. You can't catch them then, but once you beat the main storyline, there's a whole bunch more crap you can do, including going back and catching those legendaries.

Re: Admit We all Have a Soft Spot (love) for Pokemon...

Pokemon Ranger is the worse game in existence. I played it for less than an hour and I want to sell it.

I'm looking forward to Pearl and Diamond, I'll admit, though.

Re: Admit We all Have a Soft Spot (love) for Pokemon...

I do love the originals a lot, but Gold and Silver just took a huge step in a great direction. Then it just went off and died off from there.

Stupid question, but after Gold and Silver, I got Ruby and Sapphire. Am I missing any? What's different about FireRed and LeafGreen?

I know that Crystal was released in the U.K (Game Boy colour), but i can't remember if it was after or before ruby and sapphire.

To be honest i've always had a soft spot for pokemon. Always have, always will. I think that towards they end they ran out of ideas though. Gold and Silver were great, but then i think that they just started to over complicate things.

Re: Admit We all Have a Soft Spot (love) for Pokemon...

Yeah, there was a whoooole lot of crap in Ruby and Sapphire that I never even thought of using. All those damn useless berries, all those PokeBlocks for contests, ugh, I just wanna play Pokemon. Sure, I tried all of them, but I just hated 'em. After 1st and 2nd generation, it just went downhill. Hopefully some things will be removed and not replaced in the new version, but then again, knowing the creators, they'd probably add MORE for the younger kids just getting into Pokemon, who will love it for all of its features. Ugh, I hate this crap.

Red and Blue were pretty fun. My friend completed the pokedex on his 10th birthday and I remember thinking it was completely epic.
Yellow was my favorite.
Gold and Silver were no better but no worse. It was a task to remember all the new critters, but it was managable, and the gameplay was a bit better.

Then Pokemon died. I have no love for the 437th pokemon

Apparently, the human brain holds up to around 250 of a similar type of information very well, then it craps out. Stupid for them to go over 250 pokemon is you ask me.

Re: Admit We all Have a Soft Spot (love) for Pokemon...

My friends and I would play Red and Blue after school all the time.

Then I stopped caring.

Then I got Pokemon silver and stopped caring even more.

Re: Admit We all Have a Soft Spot (love) for Pokemon...

I recently played through all the old school pokemon game boy games on the computer. I had forgotten how fun they were. I managed to beat Silver version with just a Hypno and Typhlosion... mainly the hypno.

Re: Admit We all Have a Soft Spot (love) for Pokemon...

The only Pokemon game I'll fully love is Pokemon Blue. It's the first GBA game I ever owned and holds a soft spot in my heart.

All the pokemon games sucked crap though. Concept was still golden.

I dont know any of the pokemon past 150. 6-7 years ago when they came out it was the coolest thing ever. Everyone had pokemon cards. EVERYONE. Ive lost all mine though.
