Ignore the point scores I chose them at random to vex you. 

Pokemon is a neat idea that combines the leveling up of dragon warrior with the collecting of stuff from... um.. baseball cards.  Where can you go wrong? 

I will tell you where!  Pokemon is an insult to gaming in several ways.  By relying on the baseball card collecting and the leveling up of tons of characters, the pokemon franchise has subtituted addictive nonsense for actual innovation, storytelling, or interesting gameplay. 

Don't get me started on the dull turn-based gameplay of the final fantasy series, but at least that tries to tell an interesting story (old wizards committing suicide to get revenge on the arch villain who killed his daughter, twin child wizards who commit suicide to turn to stone to save their friends, wizards who get sucked up by a leviathan, age a bunch and return unexpectedly when you thought they were dead, basically the final fantasy series at least had wizards doing a bunch of freaky stuff). 

The pokemon series is a transparent attempt to throw not only gameplay but also storytelling out the window and to rely on cliched anime nonsense, pointless leveling-up grinding and cute poke characters and the inexplicable desire of youngsters to collect things to get young people to ask their parents to spend money on what barely can be called a game at all.  it would be better to call the latest poke-sequel a rehashed version of something that was not a game to begin with, it's a calculated appeal to get people gaming whose thumbs and minds are not coordinated enough to want challenging gameplay nor interesting plot.  Let the pokemon fan-fiction begin, i am hoping for a romance between ash and team rocket and then we can have a cosplay after and attend comic con.

Really? This is a review?
Don't trash the game like this. Honestly.

Local Moderators : I sound like a jerk, but, this isn't even a real review. They themselves said they rated the game randomly. Spam, much? Please check this thread out.

bsnowotter : Although you have a right to your opinion, you can't just give random ratings to throw people off. Having a negative opinion on a game is perfectly fine, and although you gave some reasoning for your views, you still need more detail as to why exactly you feel as you do for each structural part of the game. Even though you gave random ratings and didn't properly break down each section, this is fair enough to be considered a review, but you should put more thought process into it next time.


I'm going to go ahead and close this, so that it doesn't turn into a flame war. If you want to edit this to fit review format more properly, and give more valid reasoning to your arguments, then let me know and I will open this back up for you.
