I agree with the general consensus that Nintendo needs to move on and "evolve" with the Pokemon series. However, they're definitely losing fans due to the HUGE increase in number of Pokemon. People who were die hard fans of R/B/Y actually lost interest in the game when more Pokemon were released. From a strategic point of view, one who plays competitively, I love that Nintendo is throwing more Pokemon our way. We hit 493 with DPPt and thats really when I got into the competition aspect of the game. But with over 500 Pokemon to chose from now?! It just keeps getting better! I never had a problem with the child aspect of the game, it was just another quest. It fit the aesthetics of the game. A game like Fallout 3 or Red Dead Redemption, I would NOT expect a storyline or dialog like in the Pokemon games. Could they move on and get more mature? Absolutely. Should they? I don't care, I like my Pokemanz just the way they are. :)
yeah, i hope something blows up in the versions XD
and with the better 3d stuff, it would look awesome.
