10/10
Truth be told, I don't really play many games other than Pokémon. The only other video game that play often other than Pokémon is Animal Crossing. Other than that, I am really not that much of a gamer. I enjoy practically every aspect of Pokémon, from the adventure, storylines, catching wild Pokémon, and competitive battling. I also enjoy Pokémon's gameplay features such as breeding and EV training to prepare for competitive battles. I also feel like I'm one of the few players that love the direction Pokémon is going. My only complaint thus far is the lack of a full PokéDex in the Nintendo Switch games, but that's a minor complaint and it would never lower my interest in Pokémon. The Pokémon community is also a great aspect of Pokémon, as many people in it seem to be very kind, generous, and respectful, unlike players on Xbox Live that are often racist and disrespectful. I also love the Pokémon anime, but I admit that watching Ash constantly lose was frustrating. However, I love the Pokémon shows that focus more on the video game characters such as Pokémon Generations, Pokémon Chronicles, Pokémon Origins, Pokémon: Twilight Wings, and so on. I believe that should have been the direction the Pokémon main series should have taken after having Ash win the Indigo League instead of losing every Pokémon League and keeping him around. I never got the chance to read the Pokémon manga, but I would likely love it if I did.
