>>37340548I'm going to get a lot of flak for this, but if that's the way it has to be.
I was extremely excited for Black and White. I remember rereading Nintendo Power's coverage of it again and again leading up to its release. I thought the legendaries were so cool that I didn't care which version I got - I ended up getting White because everybody said "I'm getting Black because everybody else is getting White". White was the first game I ever preordered - I usually only got one game a year for Christmas, so getting it preordered was quite a treat. And it came with a Victini, so that was cool too! And I heard rumors about a gray "middle dragon", so I was excited to find out what all that was about - discovering Giratina back in Pearl and imagining what the third game would be like was amazing.
So I got White. And it was fine. I beat Pearl in 10 days, but I kept dropping White, and ended up only beating it after three months. And then, I found there was nothing else to do. And I got angry, and I swore off Pokemon entirely until Omega Ruby sucked me back in.
I want to replay gen 5. Maybe I just didn't see what was good about it the first time through. But every time I try to play it, I just remember how disappointed I was and lose interest.
