What usually brings you back to the game? I haven't found much of a reason yet to bring myself to pick up Diamond again, other than just seeing al my pride and joy of the Pokemon world.

But I'm sure we all have different reasons why we'd return to play, right? Some like breeding, some like certain areas, so what do you like?

The Pokemon.

I'm sure this sounds silly and immature,but I love my Pokemon..And I shall train them to be the best they can be!

I have alot of Pokemon I haven't trained yet,they're low levels,and aren't completely affectionate to me..I also have my contest Pokemon,I caught 3 Buneary's yesterday.

Also,I really want to obtain every Pokemon.
That means I battle tower!
..EV training!I must EV train!

I keep on forgetting though,I usually just train Pokemon I like,I don't actually look at their stats,I look at their personalities and gender ^^;
I don't really care for their personalities though.

I want to catch 'em all. I've never successfully done that in any previous generation, but I'm determined in this one. So that will keep me coming back.

I think once I get the PokeRadar, shiny hunting will keep me interested. I've caught 2 shiny pokemon this generation by chance, and keeps me wanting more.

Competitive battling I'm not really into. I have EV-trained both my shiny pokemon, but they're definitely UU or NU tier - not fit for the true OU battles everyone looks for. I just took whatever random nature and IV's each had, and built a moveset around that. They're not powerhouses, but they're unique. So I guess doing stuff like that keeps me coming back for more.

I'm one of those that go through pokemon phases. =P I'll play for three months, won't pick it up for five. But I always come back because of my pokemon. I loves them like they were real. I get oddly attatched to the little pixels. lol Especially my Swellow from Sapphire that's now on Diamond. I <3 my boy.

What usually brings me back to play?

Hm. . . Usually the idea of better EV training my pokemon and the fact that one of my friends like to battle me in PBR and so I often play around with my teams on Pearl until our battle date.
"Gah! Celebi! Not while im working!"
I really like this pic and take no credit for it.
Wouldn't you like to know?!

I keep playing because I like experimenting with different teams. I'll play through the game with one team, restart, and play again. (At least with the older versions like Yellow or Crystal.)

As for Diamond/Pearl: I want to do absolutely everything in these games. I want a black trainer card, all 493 pokemon, and I want at least one(if not more) team(s) at level 100. My obsessive nature keeps me going. Haha.
WHEE!
