i haven't played a pokemon game since silver/gold. its just so boring these days. you're still stuck with only 4 moves, the combat is slow, the story is shallow and the only motivation in the game is to collect XXX more pokemon. :/ it was fun 5 years ago, but that was FIVE YEARS AGO. either revamp it, or come out with a "Teen" off shoot with more edge, action, story and meat to the game. gif animated "battles" make me want to fall asleep these days. *yawn*
