Bear with me fellows,
Since gen one the designs always appealed to me but the overall world and structure just bored me.
Nothing extraordinary ever happened in the games in comparison to other games let alone other rpgs for that matter; the whole league and trainer stick is kinda dull over all.
Inb4 you want the game to be an edgy emo rpg,
Look at the Paper Mario series, earthbound, Mario and Luigi series, and Lunar; crazy things happen in these games and they aren't edgy.
It's the same shit over and over again
(My stand point is from gen 1-4, I have heard things about gen5 +6 having better stories; but at that point I was done,I )

Ho friggin hum.....
All and all, I always just yearned for a a group of monsters in a monster world trying to fight the forces of evil ,going to strange locations (space, inside of a giant Pokemon, other dimensions, etc.), and doing general weird stuff.
Also being 100% honest, some of the designs don't even seem like they'd actually be species, but one of a kind characters if they were in any other series.
I mean look at Alakazam, Greninja,Machamp, Lucario,Hitmons, jynx, Empoleoon, and the mega gen 3 starters, for example, don't they look as though they lend themselves to be just characters?
Almost all of the human designs look horrible in comparison to other anime (long eyes, wtf) and none of them seem particular interesting either.
Inb4 mystery dungeon
Digimon's Xros Wars was honestly what I wanted Both the series to be since the inception; a monster centric story, with a pokemon/digimon protagonist, trying to claim glory and salvage a somewhat broken world.
Did anyone else feel this way or was it just me?
