Been working. . .
I have to say I disagree with you, ShadowHog. I feel like ever since D/P the plot did take a step up, specially in Platinum. It really depends on how much you bother about it (read: how many times you tap A instead of actually trying to read).
Have to agree too since B/W and it's sequel did nail at a plot involving the actual point of why humans are even using pokemon in the first place. Could sound generic, but it really executed well for a pokemon game (Also, why no one include the decent story around Coliseum and PKMN: XD as well??).
What DID turn me off about it though is that the actual story felt pushed in your face since you're normally adapted to the same formula as ShadowHog had mentioned, and them BAM!!! Something story & moral related, blah blah blah. On one hand, it's a nice wake up call for not feeling like a zombie for playing a similar formula again and again, on the other hand it can be freaking annoying, but could be much worse. . . other than that it's pretty good. Still hate most of the designs IMO.
=================
Anyway, it's nice to see an actual pokemon game in a 3D format again, and it does look good for the most part; some clean up could be used on the hub worlds IMO. . looks so pixalated. Also I wouldn't mind in the future if they made customizable trainers for once, but that's just a personal wish. So, how many of you thought of Chestpin as Oshawatt's country cousin? XD
