Invalid poll.

So far, that's half of the poll respondants. Get dialing.

Played it once and beat it (Pokemon Yellow). Failed to see the appeal of the game, but couldn't give it back because it was a birthday gift from the then-bf. The game had one segment where the difficulty level was unexpectedly, unreasonably high because you faced a load of Rock type Pokemon, and Pikachu was useless against them (as were most of the other Pokemon you could collect). Other than that it was largely mindless XP grinding with so many out-of-nowhere ambush encounters that it made me wish my Game Boy had a damn popup blocker.

JRPGs rarely impress me. Western RPGs are far better in my opinion, although some of those have similar problems. Baldur's Gate I also had an insanely hard early game which did not scale at all to the relative power of your characters, effectively killing the game's explore-at-will pretensions. This game was so frustrating and poorly designed I was surprised they had the balls to make a sequel. (Although the sequel was excellent and I'm glad they did.)

I'll be honest, I never played the game. I created this thread as an excuse to say "Pokemanz".

Never played BG I, but I've played BGII and needless to say I think it's pretty good. [Insert rant on all subsequent D&D computer games here]. Trouble with the Pokeseries is that it's all mechanics and no storyline. It's more of an unthinking escape from reality than say, BG II, which least tries to inject a well thought out plot and fleshed out characters into the game (and succeeds more often than most games do).

Riesstiu is a terrifyingly ambitious hangglider.

Just remember that if you ever hangglid over NYC then you might have fighter jets after you.

I was the right age at the right time to collect the Pokemon cards, luckily I was smart enough to avoid it.

No. I hope the OP dies from cancer.

if we find ourselves in the same neck of the woods together in say, ten years or so, can we be gay together, sloww?

[U2DnBGFE]

I have no idea what any of that crap means, so I figured it's just better to kill anyone who does know.
