They're probably twice as much...

   So to my point.

   I am 27, so that alone is why I have never played a pokemon game. However, my favorite genre are RPG's and I have one younger friend(20) who played pokemon growing up and said it was sweet.
   Now I'm not bashing any of these games. I've never even played one so that would be ridiculous. But are they not MOSTLY just the same thing? Once again, serious question. I do not know. What's the appeal? Someone sell me a pitch. Why would I ever play one of these games over any Final Fantasy, Chrono series, Breath of Fire, Dragon Quest, Lufia, Grandia, Tales of.. , Star Ocean, Secret of.. , Mario RPG's, Shining Force, Phantasy Star, Mother series, Kingdom Hearts, plus many more..

  I love RPG's. Been recently thinking Final Fantasy Tactics is the best game ever made. Is this for me...? 

   I guess my point of listing all of those games was that if they had say 4 games but was just as popular, I would have played them by now. Is that unfair?

Dragoon26 : I see your point and respect your opinion but give it a chance, I highly recommend playing Pokémon yellow as a starting game for anyone new to the series.   And yes they all are basically the same starting out/beginning  story wise but each game brings something new to the table, like battle frontier for emerald, world championships for light platinum, 16 gyms in gold silver , and crystal, and theres  new gym leaders and elite 4's, and different Pokémon in each game plus added on features for after you beat the elite 4The appeal is you battle other creatures basically to show that your the toughest trainer in the whole game. The plots are good in the games and some of the hacks like expert emerald, shiny gold x, light platinum are very challenging and well though out, well I hope you give it a shot.

Dragoon26 : Well, the are lots of different games in Pokemon, and many of the ones you listed are hacks, and are supposed to be almost the same, but are not "real" Pokemon games.  The other majority are spin-offs, that have completely different playing styles!  So, they are not all the same, and I think you should try the seperate genres.

   Thank you for the starting point in case I do decide to delve into these games.

   The question still remains though. Both responses have told me to play the games. But have either poster played any of the games I had posted in my first post? I guess what I am truly looking for is someone who has played a lot of RPG's... both Pokemon and not... to tell me what they think.

   I do appreciate the responses, but my question is yet to be answered. I still have the Vandel Hearts, Wild Arms, Xenogears series that I have played zero of. Never mind the games I've yet to get to from series I already know (I.E. Breath of Fire 3, Paper Mario TTYD, Tales of Vesperia, etc).  Plus games I've already beat but love so I try to get 100%.

   I'll try to explain with a musical example. My friend James is great at guitar. Could probably be something some day. If someone asked me to show them what I consider the greatest songs, licks, solo's, etc. I wouldn't show them my friends music. I would show them Jimi, and Howe and Slowhand, Brian May, Townshed etc. Now my friends music is fine. Still fun to listen to, still talented, still entertaining. But if I'm listening for my own reasons I'll go with the other guys ya know.
   
   Good is good, but great is better. It doesn't mean good isn't worth my time, but it isn't as long as great is available...

I doubt anyone is still with me on this hahaha.
