I'd have to agree with the above replies. The AI in the standard storyline is just plain easy. I wish there was an option to change the difficulty of the game (I.E. Easy, Standard, Hard, Very Hard).
In my opinion, PKRS is easier to get. I have gotten it twice already (Once in Pearl and Heartgold). The only shiny I've caught without SR/RNG is a shiny Hoothoot in Heartgold.
My least favorite region is Hoenn. It was a change of scenary when it was first released but compared to the D/P/Pt and HG/SS, it was the least appealing to me.
I bought the DS Lite when it first came out and then bought a DSI XL for the bigger screen. I haven't decided on whether to get the new Nintendo 3DS yet since $249.99 (on Amazon) is WAY too pricey in my opinion for a hand-held console.
