I haven't played Pokemon in a long while. The last one I played was on my emulator, and I miss it on handheld. Feel like it sorta takes away the magic. My friend and I were talking about game design, and he's really trying to get into it. If he does he's going to try and make a Pokemon game along with some other interesting adventure games of his own. Really creative guy. I hope he really gets into it. I really like the fact he's passionate about the things and just rambles on about new ideas. Only reason why I don't want to get into gaming myself is because the industry is enormous today, and that's an understatement. The industry needs people like him.
I am conflicted with story driven games because they look really nice... that's the only real reason. Final Fantasy xiii wasn't a favorite among people but I loved it for the sheer fact that it was *Turbo Spoilers*
gorgeous regardless of what T.V. you were using..
All that aside, trying to get a DS. Sucks, still debating because I know I'll be attached to the Vita that recently bombed us about a day or two ago. Amazing device, but costly... ahhhh $299.99. Ridiculous.
