A good formula would have been something like: 3 new starters, 3-5 legendaries, 3-5 evolutions of old guys, 3-5 magmar/electabuzz guys, 1 eevee (we're at 19-25 already), add in like 5-10 totally new strains of pokemon (some with 2, some with 3) and you are at 29-55 new pokemon, and the game is still totally fresh.

If you're looking into getting started with a good TCG, check out MTGO. | ||

It's fun to kill time, it's shit tons easier than failing at League, and like Soniv said, conducive to my schedule. If you're looking into getting started with a good TCG, check out MTGO. MTGO is ridiculously expensive. | ||

It would have sold like hotcakes if they had some reasonable F2P distribution model. On October 16 2013 10:46 cLutZ wrote: But, at least Riot has the excuse of making $$ off it.

That makes the percentage of legendaries WAY too high. Legendaries don't feel legendary when 10% of all new Pokemon are "Legendary". | ||

You curbstomp him, and he's like DUDE GIMME YOUR NUMBER, IMMA TRAIN AND THEN I WANT RUNBACKS. So you do, of course, not realizing what it entails. Then he calls you to talk about how his Rattata is so great, it must be in the top percentage of rattata or something. Even though every time he challenges you you still faceroll him. Also one thing I'd really like to see in a Pokemon game again is a postgame like in GSC where you could travel to the old region and get new badges. That was awesome. And the epic battle with Red in Mount Silver! That level 81 Pikachu... | ||

It’s like my Rattata is in the top percentage of rattatas.” http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/475/377/183.gif Dat rattata. Granted in HG/SS by your last battle with him it's a lvl 54 raticate which is kind of hilarious. | ||

The worst is fishing, which has never been fun either irl on virtually, but virtually you don't even get to get stupid drunk all day removing it's single positive aspect. | ||

Only thing wrong with fishing in pokemon at least is how arbitrary it feels when you either get a bite or not. Slow overworld travel with nothing in the overworld, however, is the single biggest crime in game design, and you should feel bad for it. Sure, gameplay stuff can make a game bad, but slow overworld can make a good game depressing to play. | ||
