Bias in my opinion.
GI is just mad that they don't earn anything near nintendo for Pokemon! :D Ask the guy that wrote that article to name all the different regions then i'll beleive him. Oh wait he probably can't. The games are not repeating themselves, there is new regions, new pokemon and new features such as Battle Tower etc. He has no right to bash one of the most popular games on any system. |

I'd hate to play the Devil's advocate, but they really hit the nail on the head with the "same game over and over" thing. I mean, even Black and White, which was supposed to be hailed as a "restart" of the series, was essentially just "same ****, different Pokemon".

They Dissed pokemon but you shouldn't take everything in magazines seriously I mean I read on a magazine once an article saying bigfoot could be real
|
Haters gonna hate on haters.

Hehe look, an ironic article. I was actually informed of this by my boyfriend who was laughing about it. This thread makes me want to read it to see how good of a satirist the person who composed it is~
|
I dunno, this might be a case of "having to say harsh things so people will care/listen".
...Not that that will work. :/ |
I'm sorry but I laughed at this article. It was a complete joke and it was quite a good one. You guys are making a big deal over satire. Now I'm sure Game Informer knows how Jonathan Swift felt when he first published A Modest Proposal.
And I kinda take offense to the whole comment of they're stupid blah blah blah. It's for 18-24 year olds who sit at home playing COD and Halo over and over again considering I'm in that age range and I still enjoy Pokemon AND Halo. Me and my fiance regularly subscribe to Game Informer and satire is quite common in the magazine but they also publish informative articles such as reviews and new gaming hardware. I frequently enjoy the magazine and this is a big fuss over a little paragraph on 1/3 of the page. |
Gee, I wonder what a Sacred Cow BBQ is going to be about? Is it going to be about roasting actual cows?! 8D
A Sacred Cow Roast is where something well-lauded is intentionally scrutinized, and flaws are purposely pointed out to remind people that it's not perfect. This is what many journalists do for a living. The flaws they've pointed out about Pokemon are valid flaws, but if you look at the other series in the Roast, you'll notice that those are also well-established series that are just as well-lauded as Pokemon, if not moreso, and their valid flaws get called out on as well, thus making it clearly satire for the sake of satire. READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE BEFORE JUDGING IT BASED ON A SINGLE PARAGRAPH, PEOPLE! |
Well in a sense pokemon is the same game over and over again with little new features but even so I keep buying every generation. I actually bought a DS so I could play the diamond and pearl. so it is doing something right. It dont matter what these people say we here in pokemon communities such as this know what games we like we dont need other people telling us what games we like.
