I was ten when pokemania started in the US, I was born in 88
I didn't grow out of it, I was disappointed from the start. I wanted a cool game with these interesting monsters, but we were constantly shoveled shit
>r/bstory was lacking, had a few alright moments, but I wanted more that what was offered
>snapwas shit, came here for a monster adventure not to take pictures
>stadiumgood post game battles, but not much else
>g/swas 12 at this point
Much better than the original but I just wanted more than what was presented.
I remember playing paper mario, and wondering why I couldn't get a story like this in pokemon, reading both pokemon manga wishing the games could be like this
Between the gap I got a PS2 for xmas and I played many rpgs
>almost all square rpgseven went back and played the SNES ones
>all of dragon quest up untill then>lunar 1+2>golden sunwas lackluster but better than Pokémon
>played monster rpgs like jadecoon>played arc the lad realized it was made the same year as (r/g) in japanand realized how shit pokemon was

this was a superior monster game in all regards, it got shafted because it didn't come to the US, it outsold pokemon in japan the initial year.
>played r/s in a store and turned my back on the seriesI was 14 going on 15,. I didn't outgrow it, I was tired of getting ripped off when there is much better out there.
>tried to play d/p>was lack luster compared to other games>tried to get into online battles>figure out about iv/evs>never play again>INB4 filtered Level grinding is one thing, but invisible stats are fucked.
Stop making up lore, stop pretending it's better than it actually is.
