I've been loyal to Nintendo ever since I was a little kid. I remember my parents getting tired of taking care of me and buying me a NES when I was around 4. Super Mario Bros. killed my social skills and made me a long time Nintendo fan. So, that's been a long time. 12 years? Yeah.Then I get the SNES. Legend of Zelda and Super Mario All-Stars. oshi- epic. My attention span sucked too, so I never got to beat those games until a few months ago when I got bored. I since then lost my original NES and SNES, sad faces ensued.Then I remember getting the Nintendo 64. How? I don't know, I was pretty damn poor. I don't even know how I got the NES and SNES. Since we were so poor though, I only got Super Mario 64 and another weird game called Killer Instinct Gold(which freaked me out at the time since I was still a kid). So yeah, I missed the whole N64 deal with the Legend of Zelda and Pokeymans. Eh.Okay, so skip to 2001. I get a Game Boy Advance for my birthday. At this point, I actually kind of like the Pokemon anime (though even then I detected traces of suck). So, I try to get a Pokemon game, but, what's this? No game for the GBA? Fine, I'll get the latest one then, Pokemon Crystal.Oh wow was this game awesome. I couldn't stop playing it, until, it broke. Ah well, I kept getting Gold and Silver cartriges until their internal batteries ran out. At the moment, I have a Silver cartridge, so I never stopped that. That's how much I liked these series.Then, 2007 came. I saw Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, with their shitty Pokemon designs. Oh god I hated Nintendo for messing up Pokemon for me. The designs alone made me completely boycott somewhat the newest Pokemon games. Because of this, I always thought Pokemon peaked at Gold/Silver/Crystal and went downhill from there. I still do.At the moment, I'm playing Pokemon Diamond. Why? Well, one damn good reason. Since the first time I played Crystal, I've been waiting for a cool remake with advanced graphics (I was playing it on a GBA so it seemed unfair it wasn't made for that system). Well, after 10 freaking years, Ninty finally makes one. For the DS, of course.Naturally, missing out on all the features introduced in Generation IV, I simply just think HeartGold and SoulSilver are perfect. So what do I do after playing it for like an hour? Buy a Nintendo DS, and a flashcart. The flashcart isn't here yet, so I have to settle with Pokemon Diamond so I won't be completely out of the Gen IV loop when I get SoulSilver so I can pwn people in battles.I can't wait for that flashcart to get here. I keep facepalming at all the shitty Pokemon designs as I get more into Diamond. I swear, they made Diamond and Pearl as shitty as possible so HeartGold and SoulSilver would be perfect. If they release another game that's not a Crystal version remake, I will hate Ninty for life.
Sorry, I got used to the smash bros. community calling Nintendo "Ninty"
You hate Nintendo so much you had to show this by buying another one of their consoles?
You think diamond and pearl are bad? Try playing ruby or sapphire. Those are trash.
lol i had emerald and diamond.
this is how pokemans work. fuck the dual launch title and get the third single launch title, it saves you the hassle of buying three games to get all the lengendaries and instead you'll only need one @_@any way yeah i kinda hate Nintendo now a bit… metroid is still awesome but they don't support it too much anymore 3;I think it's impossible for a series to last for a decent amount of time and not become crappy to those that originally liked it.
But anyway, I don't mind most of the new pokemon designs. It just the new evolutions to old pokemon and a couple of the legendaries that suck completely. As far as gameplay goes, I actually found Diamond to be pretty good.But why would they remake crystal when they have heartgold and soulsilver? The differences would be way too small to be worthy of a new game, they didnt even remake yellow.I liked all the Pokemon versions except Diamond and Pearl, and I hated those because they utterly failed to innovate and use the DS hardware in a meaningful and creative way.
However, I'm looking forward to Soulsilver. When I was a kid I played Yellow and Silver, and I loved them. I still have the cartridges safely stored in a plastic box (Back in the day Nintendo shipped games with a plastic box the size of the cartridges). But the stickers are tearing apart, and that makes me a sad panda :(What do you mean with "Shitty Pokemon Designs"?
Bidoof…. and then Bibarel WTF
WTF2 every pokeman has a description in wikipedia!?!
