*I'll try and keep this short*
I have been playing Pokemon like most of you since gen 1. The series has progressed quite nicely and I was both happy and sad when gen 4 came out. I was happy cuz I liked the story, the map and the setting. I was sad because most of the Pokemon were BUTT UGLY!!!!!!!! All and all though, gen 4 was pretty awesome especially with its new wi-fi stuff (which I adored).
Now we have gen 5. To make this blog smaller I will just provide positive and negative bullets points:
Positive:
an engaging story line
the new Pokemon look cool
only gen 5 Pokemon are available during the story
TM's do not disappear after you use them (THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!)
fewer HM's (no more forcing 8 moves onto your team or getting an HM *****... well... I still do that last one)
bigger cities
cooler set up for the Elite Four (and I liked the Elite 4 line up)
The Pokemon finally move while in battle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Negative:
This story was a little...... gay. It got better at the end though.
While it is nice to not have to use HM's that much... you almost never use em. I think I may have used cut 3 times to beat the game and strength finally became useful twice at the victory road.
Poison no longer hurts you out of battle..... which just makes it like a stupid burn (burrrrrn). The first thing I done was buy 20 antidotes and I still have yet to use em all). Poisoning while annoying... was just part of Pokemon.
The region looks stupid.... there is no randomness to the roads or anything. The map is an egg... plain and simple.
THIS REGION IS TO FREAKIN EASY TO CROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is my biggest gripe. In every previous generation you had these long treks were healing items were a must and you usually ran out of PP on a few moves due to lack of healing. The large unexplored areas of Kanto, Jhoto, Hoenn and Shinnoh were awesome, and it made the game longer. Now it just seems like a waste to use a max repel in a cave cuz you will be out of it before it wears off.
This game sucks after you beat the story! The areas to the east are horrible. Nothing but trainers with level 60+ Pokemon that are weak. I ran through the whole area in an hour and beat the trainers in my way with my play through team. It was really pathetic. I've found most of the boring ole sages now and this game has gotten really dull. It feels more like I am playing an MMO for experience than playing a Pokemon game.
The Poketranfer sucks really bad. It takes really freaking long just for a few Pokemon. I have 3 boxes I want to transfer!
I haven't started the whole wi-fi part of the game yet and making an awesome team, hopefully that'll be more fun. I can tell you right now, this is the worst Pokemon game to date. They done right on the features and new Pokemon.... but everything else is stupid. Oh, and WTF is with so many new ancients?
ps New skin FTW (it rhymes).
