[quote="GoldenRhino"]I'm not saying the new Pokemon suck, stat-wise, like in battle. I know Bronzong is a god and Sableye is pretty much worthless. I'm just saying a ton of the original design has left the people at Pokemon HQ. I mean, at least Farfetch'd was kinda cool looking. A duck with a leek, ok, not crazy original, but Bonsly? Seedot? These things don't convey "Pokemon" to me, they convey "weird little...creature..thingies." Yeah, some of it's nostalgia, but I can still recognize when there are some cool-ass Pokemon in the newer games. And I'm not saying the first 150 were gold or anything. Yeah, Voltorb, Grimer, and Paras are all really lame...but it seems like there's more and more "filler" in terms of both stats and design of the new ones.
So yeah, while Drifloon/Drifblim may be able to do you well in battle, that's not what I'm getting at. I'm trying to say that...Drifloon...is a fricking purple balloon, with an X on its face, and two strings with hearts on the end. Know what I'm saying?
From a competitive gameplay perspective, Platinum will probably be a worthy purchase. And yeah, I guess this just opens more strategic possibilities (compared to your comparatively limited scope in Gold/Silver). But man. I feel like if you're a kid just getting into Pokemon and Diamond/Pearl was your first game...the same sort of Red/Blue magic just wouldn't be there. I'm asking too much. Forget I mentioned it.[/quote]
Preach on
