Man, it's been a while since I've played me some Pokemon. I've sort of fallen out of playing competitively and I could get back into it but that sounds harrrrrrrrrrd. The longer you've been out, the more research you have to do to get back in. Especially since I've sort of been gone for the formative part of this metagame. I've made a few half-hearted attempts at the Battle Subway, but honestly, it's too monotonous on its own for me to get past how PISSED OFF it makes me. I could be battling casually, but I don't usually get access to wifi. You know what would be really cool? A fifth generation console game! We could really use one of those! I mean, we already got our first handhelds, and we got some shitty spinoffs. Man, with a current gen console game, I could go online and battle casually with my 'new' game without having to dick around with wifi! Maybe it could even be good, unlike PBR! (Coming next time if I remember: PBR SUCKS)
Well, let's just look on Bulbanews here and see what's WHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT??? What is this now? NEW GAMES? And they're... Not Grey. No console game huh? Well fuck you too then Nintendo. I know you'd wanna make it for the WiiU, but it's not like that's not coming out soon. You could still announce it. You know. If that were a priority.
Well anyway, this is certainly a surprise. Pokemon, we were expecting a Grey! SINCE WHEN DO YOU BREAK TRADITION? It's a strange new world and ANYTHING is possible now. We get Black 2 and White 2 instead, implying maybe something more like direct sequels! Is that perhaps what is going to happen? Is Pokemon going to become a franchise with a legitimate story and DIFFERENT gameplay? Or are they in fact just going to start producing EVEN MORE standard games with the same plot from now on? My money's on the latter. Expect it to be just like the old third game in the series, but now there's TWO of them. GOTTA COLLECT 'EM ALL RITE GUYS? And then there'll be Ruby and Sapphire remakes and, dare I be so bold, Emerald, Grey and perhaps even Grey 2! Plenty of gravy on this train!
Seriously though, this was the first generation I actually bought both of the starting games and you pull this shit? I'm not doing it again unless you make it worth my while. Which you almost certainly will with different move tutors in each game or some bullshit to get at my money. I can't even complain, since I'm gonna be the one supporting this behavior by buying it, despite my bitching. Well, here's hoping they're fun and maybe change up the metagame so dramatically that it doesn't matter that I haven't been keeping up with things.
Oh yeah, I guess they announced Meloetta too. Whaddaya know.
