Yeah, I haven't touched a pokemon game since Red, Blue and Yellow so walking into the world of pokemon after all all this time does sound kinda risky, I felt. I put my pokemon down back when highschool started and pretty much all 151 faded from my memory (with exception to the ones that appeared in the Super Smash Bros Series, of course.)....no really,I personally gave them all the lethal injection and everything....and burnt their ashes....hehheeh....Ash....

So any I decided to get the game after all this time, mostly because I wanted to start a webcomic series based on the games involving a trainer who was left in a coma during the first generation and after from playing Platinum since yesterday, I have plenty to nitpick.

I chose Chimchar as my starting pokemon because he looked less stupid and I loved the idea of having a pokemon that would most likely throw flaming balls of poo and his enemies. Puberty for Chimchar didnt last that long as I thought when 15 mintues into the game and breif grinding in phobia of that blonde twit of a rival being stronger than me, the thing evolved to a Marnova (I forgot the name already) by level 15. Doesnt sound like much and it was excpected but grinding felt a little close to no fucking problem.

I remember when we would put blood sweat and tears into grinding our pokemon as they molest every single caterpie in the woods JUST so they would be tough enough to take on Brock and his bastard, Onix! Our parents will get on at us for playing the game too long and would threaten to take them away!

Oh yeah, how come your rival is a fucking pussy? good gawd! When was your rival your bestest pal? Bring back Gary! Yes, he was an asshole but that was the fucking point! You have a rival you fucking hate and would want to just rub it in his face after kicking his ass in the final battle. Gary was unlikable and that's how it should be.

Finally, where's the fucking Caterpies at? I havent seen a single one so far! :C

Cray Says:

Amen to you, sir.

But, yes, Pokemon has taken a rather....sharp turn in a goddawful direction. The rival looks like some kid who refuses to take his ritalin in the morning, the trainers looks like they came out of some "how to make a J-RPG hero" book, and less like actual, I don't know, pokemon trainers, the pokemon are bland and unmemorable, and....blah blah blah I've said this all before.

Pardon me as I play Red and Crystal, since I got off the bus at second gen.

Shadow Dinosaur Says:

Good choice for your starter! C:

Last Pokemon game I played was Ruby, I think.
I won't bother ever again with getting Pokemon games or playing them. I got fed up with the gameplay.

Frario Says:

honestly, pokémon still is the same formula.

G/S/C had an awesome rival

I haven't played Platinum and probably never will since I have Diamond. Of course I STILL haven't finished Diamond after having it for like a year (I think I'm like on the 4th gym learder) and I'm having a hard time getting through it, mostly because I don't know and really don't like any of the new pokemon.

I'm more of a 1st and 2nd generation fan and the 3rd was really pushing it but the last was just completely fail imo

Seriously... the legendary pokemon for the new series look like something an artist just puked out and tried to shape into something that resembles some sort of monster with weird markings on it.

or maybe I'm just butthurt cause my cute little penguin starter turned into a fugly, fat.. thing.

Akaria Says:

Chimchar evolves intro Monferno at level 14, actually.

:P

JadedEmeralde Says:

There are no Caterpie in Plat. until you're able to get the international Dex. So thee equivalent you'll be able to get however is Wurmple.

Rhemi Says:

You didn't grind blood, sweat and tears to beat Brock, you chose Squirtle or Bulbasuar and one shot his Onix and Geodude, or you caught a Mankey and did it with him.

lol rose tinted glasses

It must hurt your eyes staring through those nostalgia goggles all the time.
