I'm an ardent Pokemon traditionalist. Well... not really. Kanto was my favourite set of Pokemon, but Johto was my favourite game plot-wise.

I found R/S to be somewhat... unmemorable. I thought the game cut out too many of the better features of the G/S games (night/day, fairly big plot with some subplots, two different countries to explore) to add some new features that I never quite got into (pokemon contests, weather-thing?) And Sinnoh Pokemon? I just never bothered. I found the new cast of Pokemon ranging from recycled (Turtwig looks like illigitamate lovechild of squirtle and bulbasaur, most def) to just plain ridiculous (I'm sorry- Bidoof? BIDOOF?) I've heard good reviews for D/P, ao I'm sure it's a good game- just, not for me.The ridiculous abundance of Pokemon would get on my nerves far too much. I'm happy with the first twohundred-fifty-something.
