No not really. I can do normal collecting, like collecting frost badges in wow on my main, collecting wins in SC2 for icons, collecting 150 pokemon. But shit like collecting 500 pokemon, hold items, breeding perfect moves, good IVs, EV training, leveling them up.... too much. Reminds me of collecting 1000 flags or whatever in Assassin's Creed 1, or collecting 100 feathers in AC2. I did a little breeding in G/S, but not much more than getting some nice move on a Scyther, and all that was back when I was in middle school or high school or something and had a lot more time on my hands. I dunno, we'll see. But it might just be too much "busy work." If it's grind/collecting that has a POINT, I'm much more likely to enjoy it (using Assassin's Creed 2 as an example, getting all the Viewpoints is fine, getting all the Feathers is not). Much more interested in if this game will be interesting in terms of story. Pokemon's never been hard enough for getting into everything to be worth it or enjoyable after RBY, maybe stretched to GS. | ||

Why can't they just break from the Fire/Grass/Water starter tradition and replace it with something awesome like a Dragon/Psychic/Dark starter combo or something like that. But then their types won't counter each other. | ||

Much more interested in if this game will be interesting in terms of story. Pokemon's never been hard enough for getting into everything to be worth it or enjoyable after RBY, maybe stretched to GS. Well collecting the various pokemon has more of a point than collecting flags in Assassin's Creed which just gives an achievement maybe an extra cut scene? Having a variety of pokemon means more resources to trade online, breed, help catch or battle with. You won't get all the pokemon unless you hack or are a super fan which is something you'll just have to live with because certain pokemon can only obtained through real life events or limited time online events. The breeding, IVs and EVs is something you only need to bother with once you beat the game. It also depends on perfect you want the IVs and EVs, like I only bother with EVs to reduce stats I don't need, but don't really care if they're perfect so it takes considerably less time. Same with IVs as long as they're average, which you can tell by talking to a certain character, it's fine. You really don't need to bother with IVs at all really unless you're super competitive. Pokemon is a time consuming game but it is an RPG. In my opinion it's a lot more enjoyable than other RPGs end game, it's a more complicated form of grinding but compared to other RPGs in the late game I'd say it's actually less time consuming once you understand it. | ||

Another thing is, I really think pokemon as a franchise has the potential to also be enjoyed by older people, not just because it makes them nostalgic about their childhood. I wish they would have something like an "expert" version of one of their games which has drastically changed difficulty levels, assumptions of your ignorance about the world, an actual reason to catch pokemon at all besides your starter and one or two others. | ||

I mean, it's nice because when I bought my DS I also got a pokemon game knowing I would probably like it so it was a safe purchase, which was nice. However, so many things are just the same: the linear gameplay, the HM's always starting with Cut, the Team Rocket villains, the Elite Four. Were they thinking a small twist such as making the Champion not your rival but a different character constitutes actual change? I hope they try to make a pokemon game once that's not just an update for a new console with some added mechanics to keep the game fresh, since after the 5th game that stopped working.

It's called the Battle Frontier... If there was an actual "expert" mode it would just be all the trainers with higher level pokemon and mean more grinding. I do think they need to improve the AI of the trainers though. | ||
