Seeing as the franchise has kind of a murky future right now (Gen 6's low sales, anime's ratings collapse in Japan, etc), you'd think that, alone, would be worth discussing. The handling of stories and characters in the games (good and bad) is also another good, meaty topic.
But, nope, instead we get a bunch of threads about Shinies. Oh, you caught a Rattata that's green instead of purple, big whoop. :rolleyes2:
That happens to me A LOT, which can get on my nerves at times. If I write a big essay, I expect a reply that's a little better than "I agree." :rolleyes2:
