The truth is that videogames are pretty low time investment low return hobbies. People that love videogames are usually lazy to do better stuff with their time.
To be honest what is the appeal to shinyhunt pokémon? None, it would be much better to put your intelect to work reading a book or even watching a movie.

But hell is it fun.

Yeah I agree, but in perspective you learn more by a 2 hour movie than by playing 30 hours of Zelda or whatever

Well that's fucking stupid. I think we live in an absolutely golden age of video games, but most people don't even realize it.

The amount of new games coming out year after year increases exponentially. It's phenomenal. Within them, you will always find a few gems and a lot of crap. But what that means is that if you take the effort to look at what's coming out, you will find more and more great games coming out as time passes.

I've certainly enjoyed more than 10 games since the beginning of 2018.

Start skipping every other generation. USUM is actually pretty interesting if you've skipped XY and SM since it seems like there is twice as much new mons and features.

Depends on the movie.

Video games engage different parts of your brain though.

And 30 hours isn't an example of a low time investment hobby, not in comparison to a movie.

i get that, and everyone's entitled to their preferences. i've just never understood the argument that "it's not a real monster if it's even remotely humanoid." people even use it against bipedal pokemon like incineroar and decidueye. nobody has to like those kinds of designs, but the gatekeeping is weird.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Gen 6 was objectively the golden age. Technologically competent Japanese games, competent western games, significant graphical leap from the previous generation, amazing competition with three relevant consoles, two great handhelds, PC being PC.... that's peak vidya my man. Take any person's top games list and gen 6 will be the most represented.

You never liked pokemon, Pokebarneyfag. You've been reposting those threads every day for like 4 years, but you admited you never played it. Most of the fanbase likes all the recent games no matter how hard you astroturf and shill against them.
It's time to kill yourself.

bamco is doing that from now on, since operation decode proved that there's still demand for digimon games in the west.

I'm playing Star Sapphire, a difficulty hack for Alpha Sapphire and having a great time (I tried Star Sapphire but it was so easy it was boring)

I was told that all Dio Vento hacks are quite good, you could give them a try if you still remember something.

After this I'm trying Soulsilver and Naranja because I'm a huge nostalgia faggot.

Last year I played Ultra moon, it was my first pokemon in years and got me back in track.
