Don't you just battle pokemon, and catch them?

basically but everyone likes story line and game that takes a while to beat not like summon night THE only place you go to is your villages back yard and have to go back to the village over and over and over again no explorian spot it sucks pokemon on the other hand actually has al ittle bit of exploring and you find some zones that are only accesible if you get the ex. cut strength ,etc in order to get it so you ogtta go back to the beggin(easy with fly)_ and go get your awesome treasure then high tail it back to continue the game i'm actually considering buying the new pokemn game

The new ones have... a ton of features which actually add a whole lot to the battling and the overall exploration. If you don't like RPG's, it's obvious it's not your type of game, and I don't see why anyone would feel the need to bash it, and not just... not play.

There are new contests, a whole slew of online capabilities, and... I'm around 70 hours in and I still have only one star on my trainer card, with a maximum of 5.

Yes, I know, gold stars.

I was a HUGE fan of the pokemon red/blue/gold/silver back in the day, level 100s galore! .. god I was a geek ^_-

I still am a Geek. ;o
