>>55558333>>34 years old>Was with franchise from the start, the best aspect was to bond with cool creatures and beat badguys. It also learned me to never give up.I loved gen 5, enjoyed gen 6 but I noticed how much worse it got by going 3D, I got Moon on premiere because I was hyped, sadly it felt flat and I had problems with finishing it.
Sw/Sh -I bought used for half price. Its ok game, but it REALLY feels like 30$ game.
PLA gave me hope I lost after Sw/Sh.
SV was good. Even with all problems it has it gives you solid fresh start.
Future looks bright, as next game should be a mix of SV and PLA (New gen always borrows from 2 previous games).
But for me overall, Pokemon is more than anime or games. It's about utopia I want to fight for, where animals and humans cooperate to make a better world.
The creature designs are still one of the best of its kind. It mixes kid friendly ideas with many well thought natural driven designs.
