Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Have slightly less but less spaced out (and more unusual) than that.

I was about to post that myself. Now that you had the same idea, I feel less dirty about it.

Anyone tried pokemon conquest yet? I heard it's pretty good

The music is nice.

Could anyone explain me why should i care about breeding the darn things if i obviously had to catch both male and female of the same race beforehand? Why not use the potential daddy/mommy pokemon and riase it instead?

Raising the babby from level 5 gives it a good shot at being more intense than either of its parents.

Also, you can breed for specific traits.

I'm going to say it's "good" for what it is. Imagine a heavily dumbed-down tactical RPG (Fire Emblem if there were lots of characters that were all limited to one attack).

And the pokemon only have to be of the same group, not same species. Female determines the pokemon.

For example, speaking of breeding, I just had a Vulpix hatch with Flamethrower already learned.

That's what happens when you have your pokemon mate with the abomination against nature that is a Ditto.

[Urist Imiknorris]

That's also what happens if the father knows a TM that the bastard spawn can learn.

So, let's suppose I haven't played the pokemans for a while, and want to get a DS version. Should I go for heartgold/soulsilver, or pay the extra 5-10 dollars for a copy of black/white? DEBATE.

[Sirus]

I kinda like B/W. They do some cool stuff with seasons and have some very cool locales. Plus the Pokemon sprites are animated during battles.

[Josephus]

I dunno, if you're not really a fan of the new designs, SS/HG has less of them around. SS/HG is a generation down, though, so some of the newer mechanics and adjustments will be absent. Not really an issue if you're not one of them hardcore players, though.

So I have to ask: You people find Pokemon enjoyable? Why?

For me, the fun was the progression, at least the early levels. This is probably why i never finished a single pokemon game. Wait that's not true, i finished Emerald. Well not 100% completion but i finished the story, except i was using a speed hack (i was playing it on emulator). So i guess it's all about the progression speed. If it's fast enough, i can bear with the grind, if not i'll quit around mid-game.

The whole "catch them all" never really worked for me even though i'm a completionist., since it's almost impossible to get some pokemons unless you go to special events apparently, and also i was playing alone which means i couldn't get the exchange-only pokemons (or needed way too much fiddling to do it). Well i guess i could have cheated but then there's no point. Also too much grind.

Overall i'd say that my enjoyment of a pokemon game is inversely proportional to the amount of time played. Something like that.

Have you played Gold/Silver? Because I'd take Gold/Silver with updated graphics and some extra's over B/W any day. But maybe that's just my nostalgia talking. B/W was "good, I guess". G/S was just great. Again, admitted nostalgia goggles.

Haven't actually gotten Heart/Soul. I guess I should? I'm growing more and more hesitant buying these games as they become less and less fun, but I might still enjoy it...

If you want fancy graphics and all new pokemon until post-game, Black/White. Otherwise, get HeartGold/SoluSilver, the Gold/Silver remake.

or, it you want, take the third option of Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. Those are Pokemon DS games as well.

I actually caught them all in Pokémon Red... It's just not feasible anymore which is sad.

I also beat Pokémon Red (as in, beat the Elite Four and champion) with a Bug-type-only team playthrough. So...Beedrill, Butterfree, Parasect, Venomoth and Scyther. I can't remember if I got my hands on a Pinsir.

I'm tempted to try it again with a new game, because there's been so many awesome new bugs since Gen I. I can't decide which game would be best though...
