Hypie Yeah, i too am one of those who can only count to a certain amounts of poke's.. 151 is the nostalgic number which brings a ton of memories from my childhood. But I had some love for the next two generations also.. then I just stopped caring.
That is not the say that the games had not evolved on their own. They have added a lot of nice things to the new games, like exp-share from the start (like Kerreth mentioned.) and the various sorts of battling you can do. Also, they have put more and more effort for the actual plot by each year. They, among other small things, were the reasons I managed to keep my interest so far. But in the end, I could say that the series have died for me, excluding occasional and short second-winds.
My friend keeps recommending (read: commanding me to buy) Monster Hunter for my DS, and that is probably the next thing I try before deciding if the 3ds has anything for me. Might give a look for the Harvest Town too, seems to be good for killing some silent hours.
ThePaul, an entire genre has died for you? And here I was sad from having to say goodbye for a mere series.
RTS genre was never too big for me, it was just something we did when we were having lan parties. That and Civilization and other turn based ones. They were fun, but as I didn't know all the tricks and stuff from the games, I ended up being zerk-rushed, demolished by chaos marines, nuked (c'mon, Gandhi? you too?), or having my grand nation otherwise horribly crippled by grand-ier nations. Still, fun times. Not seeing myself playing them on competitive levels though.
Ooh, Rockband , it used to be quite big hit in here too! xD (every "cool" kid had it or had QuitarHero.)Though I must admit that I did not know there was a campaign in it.. then again, I have never played them too much. Much less sober. xD
