I honestly want to know.
The series, the franchise almost EVERYTHING about Pokemon is shitty and there is honestly no nostalgia anymore. I remember being ripped off more so than I had fun with this series.

>played red/blue, but wanted more of an adventure like in both manga
>played snap and it was shit
>played stadium it was ok, more so a post game for r/b with no exploration
nice battles though
>refused to play yellow because it was basically a mod
>finally play gold and I was amazed at the mechanics
>not getting crystal because I am not buying the same twice with dlc
>refuse to get Stadium 2 because it's going to be the same shit as stadium
> between the two year gap between G/S/C and R/S discover rpgamer.com and find out about other rpgs like Bof,FF,Arc the Lad, Dragon Quest, etc.
>they are having adventures like in the anime and manga
>Better monster game in Arc the lad, but no one played it here because it got to the USA too late
It also had a far superior battle tower, 4 years before it appeared in crystal
>I wish pokemon was like this
>I see R/S on display in toys'r'us and it looks like shit in comparison in comparison to other rpgs on the gba
>say fuck it and buy ffta instead
>a bunch of bullshit shill games like puzzle league, channel, trozei and dash released
when other series have good side games and it isn't a minefield

>reused 64 models and shitty graphics in both gamecube titles
>A few years later I try mystery dungeon and it's alright

> want to give the series a chance again with D/P
>get battel revolution included as a gift as well
>Static sprites after mystery dungeon
>bullshit natures?
> invisible iv/ev grinding just to get a decent online battle?

>say fuck it and turn my back on the series entirely

Honestly why do you all stick around?
Why keep getting disappointed?
