gyarados. bulbasaur. mew. pikachu. pokemons. now into their so-called 4th generation with heartgold and soulsilver edition, remakes of the GBC versions aka 2nd generation.
I'm not a huge fan of pokemon to be honest but I have faithfully followed the videogames side of the franchise and have even played at least 1 game from each of the first 3 generations. I held out quite long (3 years or so) on the 4th not because I am purposely waiting for these remakes. I was on other games and franchises. then the news of the remakes broke abt 2 years ago with even more "revolutionary" game designs on them, made me drooled like a school boy again.
pokemon is a good series, even for serious RPG gamers. the jap dudes at gamefreak really know how to design a game cute enough for young children, deep enough for teens and engaging enough for adults. for someone who hardcored WOW for a period of time, this is quite something.
this latest offering has larger list of pokemons to "catch them all!", updated graphics and rearranged music scores for the new hardware, more hero-pokemon interaction activities, and ... a pedometer that makes your pokemon happier with more steps you take! imagine tamagochi that thrives on you bringing it out for walks.
with all these goodness, decently priced at SGD$65, I have decided to once again join the millions of pokemon fanboys (really there are no pokemon girl fans, especially in sg) and try to "catch them all!".
