i bought my ds solely for playing pokemon diamond. I played the f*** out of it last summer (i got over 300 hours in on pokemon) but since then it's been collecting dust... i'll pick it up again someday.
DS Games As for Wi-Fi DS games, let's see: Mario Kart DS Metroid Prime: Hunters (fun until the DS Action Replay came out) Diddy Kong Racing DS (not as fun as the N64 original, but fun nonetheless) Last, I refuse to call Pokemon a game. Rather, it's a way of life. I have Diamond and Pearl, but my Diamond's my main version with my IV/nature/hidden power bred and EV trained monsters. Isn't it sad that most of us still play Pokemon? Or is it even more disturbing that we admit we play it?
I think we're all ashamed to admit it because it was a fad back when we were young. I think I was in, like, 1st grade when Pokemon got popular. Especially since it's marketed as a kid's game, I feel a little juvenile playing it. But really, it's pretty awesome once you get past all the cutesy stuff on top (no offense to those that play it for the cutesy stuff ). You IV farm? That's cool, I've never met someone on a not Pokemon forum who does all the intense stuff. I barely have the patience for IV farming... my Swampert is the only one I did it with, and I have, like, 3 boxes full of Mudkipz now
You know, i wonder how many people actually adhere to the "for backups only" rule. It's not like the feds can check it or anything... And no, i dont imply that i do that, i dont use roms.
i think the reason pokemon wasa "fad" in the day as because i wasnt that hard to beat and unless you had lots of freinds with the game. there was no point in playing after you beat it. i remeber after i beat blue version i started useing gameshark heavily and doing every glitch i can find just to make the game fun but that screwed the game up. no we have all the EVs and IVs and advanced s*** that seperated the more skilled plaers form the noobs for example i was facing the one guy where i had my best team out and i lost to one of this guys pokemon all he used was gyrados and return that was before i new about evs and ivs and stuff. and i have over 500 hours played my poke game can anyone beat that i doubt it.
phantom hourglass, pokemon, mario kart, Mario 64 and Hopefully Guitar Hero will be sick cause im counting on it to be :]
