I played the first Rangers, which was awesome... didn't play the second one though... didn't see the point...
Same with the mystery dungeons. lol. The first one = great, but then pointless for the sequels...
Yeah that was always the best... although I preferred Hoenn over Sinnoh, simply because of the awesome Pokemon ideas. I mean, Sinnoh wasn't bad, but it had WAY TOO MANY legendaries, not too mention crappy prevos/evos that were introduced. :P
Mmm, Misty is an NPC though... So I don't think that would have worked... but she's awesome in HGSS. :D
Well, I actually watched some of the latest series, because it's funny watching Ash be a hothead... albeit he hasn't aged though... LOL.
