I remember getting Pokemon Blue for my birthday and playing the absolute hell out of it with my friend who had Red. So many hours grinding Safari Zone for rare pokemon.
However they should focus less on implementing ****ty neopet pokemon to add more to the already insane count and revolutionize the gameplay. My problem is that every new game adds more pokemon(150+ NEW POKEMON, OMG!!!) but how does that matter? They remove the old pokemon and put in clones of the old ones in place. For example, the starting area will always have cookie cutter bird pokemon, normal pokemon and so on. What's the point? Just keep the old ones in. Adding new ones that are the same as the old ones and then taking out the old ones doesn't actually add anything new to the game.
I want a damn 3D real-time rpg/action-adventure pokemon already, but they're too scared to actually change anything.
