Haha, oh look guys, he's ten! Don't **** with him, he'll straight up thug you.
Seriously kid, here is a lesson, learn when to shut the **** up. No one gives a **** that you're ten, the fact that you think that there is a deep significant difference between nine and ten proves that you don't really understand, of course you don't like pokemon but who cares? It seems like a lot of other people do so why comment?
Listen, this is to really help you, try and understand what he's saying. He only said it because you act that age, at least try and be a little more mature and understand what everyone is saying.

Third then. I recognise the bird, at least, and the grassy fucker looks familiar too.

If they're not meant to be the same then they have lost all their imagination. Even the mudkip is visible if you squint.

Quote from Zed

I was always more of a Sapphire fan, myself. I actually completed it. Leaf Green was a massive disappointment though, so I'll wait until one of you guys reviews it before getting one of these ones.

I'm sorry, I hate to drag up an old post, but I have to ask, Zed, have you played any of the original earlier-gen games?

I just found my Pokémon Silver, with my save on it. Completed Pokédex, mother****ers.

Oh, oh does it come with a level one hundred sand slash? What was your team?

safety pin.

According to Official Nintendo Magazine (Australia and New Zealand), it gets a score of 94 out of 100 and also gets the Official Nintendo Magazine Gold Award.

So there.

Nintendo rated a newly released Nintendo game amazing? Weird.

Uh, no, it was the magazine that only rates Nintendo games.

Yes, and I appreciate that they have value as classics, but I genuinely think that if you gave all three to a guy who'd never heard of pokémon before he'd say Sapphire was the better. From a sentimental point of view, sure, go for red or yellow, but for gameplay, graphics, options, and general all-round quality I think the latter versions were improvements. It's the running that swings it. I can't go back to moving so darn slowly.

One could argue that the majority of the new pokemon suck, in a game that incorporates catching and training these things. I would much rather go with the originals, or even a second generation game silver gold and crystal had all the oldies too, with options of new ones. It was also the generation that presented most of those new options and even has some that the new ones don't have. Ruby and saphire don't have different wild pokemon accoring to what time of day it is and they also don't have a portable radio. Though in second generation you can't feed your pokemon random blocks of food that some how make them look sexier or tougher.
Graphics don't really matter anymore and I am tired of them adding gay evolutions onto the classical pokemon without any purpose to it.

I always felt the radio was superfluous, and the different times of day for different pokémon was irritating because I didn't really want to have to play at a certain time to win. I'll play the game whenever I damn well want to.

I admit that the original pokémon themselves are the best - there are no words for how superior Blastoise is compared to, say, Flygon - and they, much more than the newer ones, had a certain believability to them that they might actually be physically possible (or maybe I just got less naive as I got older), but that alone isn't enough to make up for the gameplay disadvantages. The remakes that tried to combine the two should have been the perfect game, but they tried to add too much extra stuff in and it imploded.
