>>51530877I play pokemon for the single-player, but I only play shoot 'em ups and puzzle games for the most part. Most JRPGs are too long for me, I get burned out of them easily. If I want to experience a story I'd rather skip the gameplay and read a visual novel or book. Grandia I and II are great though, my favorites.
Pokemon is a casual RPG, and that works well enough for me.
