I don't like them. Despite being on the Gamecube, they were neutered mechanically compared to R/SE. No wild pokemon, no in-between routes, a limited amount of catchable pokemon, no breeding—hell, there are restrictions on evolving and move learning for some pokemon. And the battles were tediously slow due to the cinematic camera on top of that.
All for what? "The "great story" that people parade about reads like something dredged from Deviantart. Shadow pokemon and a edgy rebel teenage criminal with a badass hovorcycle and a hooker sidekick.
I can't take anybody who says these are their favorite pokemon games seriously. At all. To say so is almost disgraceful to the main series pokemon titles, which are actually nicely designed games.
