Poke'mon Butt/Wipe & Crap/Brown *Rant

Diablo361@ Those ranting on storyGames do not need a story to work. Heck, if most game plot were written into movies/books, they'd be universally panned. Game stories SUCK. Cliched, trite garbage. Nobody really plays a game for a story, gameplay is what matters.

For most games that's true, for a RPG on the other hand it's complete bollocks. Without a story they become repetitive and extremely boring, take Etrian Odyssey for example. Nobody is asking for a story comparable to books/movies..
If you stripped away the little amount of story the game already has it would become worse without a doubt. The gameplay is great, but if the whole game was just that...

Yeah, it's true that studies show that kids love repetition, and Pokemon has a lot of that. A lot of it is getting kind of old to me, but they do add new things. How about the Global Trade? I love the idea of being able to trade Pokemon with people on the other side of the world. Not only that, it's also the only way I'll ever fill my Pokedex with legit legendaries like Darkrai and such. Just filling up that damn thing is a separate adventure in itself. Anyway, not to beat a dead horse, I just thought I'd say:
Pokemon is awesome screw you ;D
