Holy sh#t... I was a pokemon addict once, but that's just insane...
I played one game on yellow for 128 hours... That’s my record, but I have a friend who at one point got 300+. But that was all long long ago. I'd have to say the best ones were gold and silver. They had the largest area, a world that had scheduled events and a day and night cycle, and the best story in my opinion. It also have they most and the awesomest pokemon. It had the most classes, and so on. When the gameboy advance ones came out, it was a total letdown. The graphics were way lower than anyone expected, and it had
less features than gold and silver.
I think the reason pokemon was so awesome was because it was a truly unique rpg design, and even though the story was short, beating the game and trying to raise them all to lv100 was more than addicting, it was an obsession.
I wish someone would realize that implementing the same basic structure into a less kiddy game would be a huge hit. I want to play another game like it, but the problem is the new ones are just too cute. I liked it better when the games actually had evil people in them. I really hated how in the new ones your rival was supposed to be your best friend.
And America is definitely the fattest country in the world. Don't like over 50% of us have diabetes or something? I'm not fat, but man do I know a lot of fat people.
