I approve of the above message. 2nd gen will always remain the weakest of the series IMO. |

I never played a single pokemon game before... I've never even really seen any gameplay associated with it excluding the pokemon boss in I wanna be the fangame. I dismissed it originally because I have a rule of thumb regarding games that is generally accurate.. don't punish yourself playing a game based on a movie or tv show. I know sometimes they are good, but generally it holds true. Anyway maybe I should give it a shot eventually. Can anybody describe to me though what exactly kind of game it is, what are the challenges in it. What makes it different than others of its genre.. And FFS, why do they always release 2 at the same time with different colors.. I know each one has "different pokemon you can have" but why don't they just have all the pokemon in one game? Marketing scheme so you buy double the games? Is the story and bosses and all that the exact same, you just get different guys? I don't understand exactly. Why doesn't anybody complain its' nothing but a cheap trick to make you spend double.. Or why DONT people get both when they like the series.. I've also heard people say how much they love the game "and I got pokemon blue"... I think "well why not red if you like it so much". heelp. |

The games came first. --- Quote ---Can anybody describe to me though what exactly kind of game it is, what are the challenges in it.

Beating the last boss isn't difficult, as long as you fight all the fights that you come across, and don't spread your experience around too much. What makes it different from other RPGs is that rather than having 3-8 heroes or whatever, you have one character, who fights using pokemon. You start with one. You get more by weakening wild ones (i.e. random encounters) and throwing pokeballs at them. What gives it its appeal is the collecting aspect, combined with the standard RPG experience system - and the visible strengthening of your pokemon (they evolve!) The 2 game system thing is to encourage trading. There are quite a few things in the games that encourage trading (for example pokemon that only evolve after being traded), that's just another example of one. Buying both is a bit silly, because yes, other than the pokemon you get, there is very little difference. |

Of course, as long as you have a Wi-Fi signal nearby, but IMO that even easier than getting a DS at all. |
