>always disappointed with the games even when I was 11
>played blue was disappointed
>wanted the game to be more like the manga and anime.
>I wanted scenarios like the battle at vermillion city 's port in manga, battling ontop of bruno's onix, fight with red's evolution switch eevee, fight zapamoltacuno or the grand pokemon race in both and all three of Sabrina's scenarios
>wanted a cool story not customization
>snap is shit
I came here for monster adventures, not to take fucking picutres on rails.
>stadium is alright, and challenging, but there is no adventure and none of the pokemon even touch
>Gold is better than first gen, but still doesn't have what I really wanted
>skip stadium 2 and buy Paper mario instead
it's an adventure
>get a PlayStation 2 instead of Gamecube, play all the backlogged titles I missed on the PS1 like Mana, FF, Chrono trigger, BoF, Jade Coccoon, Lunar the list goes on.
they are adventures
>Play a game called "Arc the Lad Collection" and it had the adventure of a jrpg, but the monster side game much better than pokemon and it was made the same year as R/G in Japan

here is the monster arena side game where you can pit party memembers and monsters you captured against other players. 20x better than any pokemon game to date
The things I wanted to happen in pokemon games happened in this game.

>inb4 looks like shit
sprites look fine shut your fucking faces zoomers
>try to pick up the series again with gen4 and prepare many 50 pokemon for battle revolution
>figure out about evs
>ditch this shit for good


Anyone else have a similar experience?
