Pokemon

[Dr. Cringle]

I'm a longtime fan (completed pokedex for the first three generations), or was until Diamond/Pearl. At that point I was burnt out, which I hadn't thought was even possible, but I still haven't even gotten all the badges on Diamond.

I think I'll make it through White, though. I love that they're finally addressing the ethical side and the story is something unique compared to whatever generic take-over-the-world shit they had in Diamond. I enjoyed the Ruby/Sapphire story too, in fact that might have been my favourite.

Also I love that you can reuse TMs now. Normally I never use them in the course of the story, now I do. And the new stuff like rotation battles are a sweet idea to mix things up even further.

The new TM mechanic is amazing, and now I'm not hording a bunch of TMs or cheating to get a decent supply. I'm using them, which is what I'm supposed to do.

How far you get in Diamond/Pearl, Greg? I think I stopped around the second/third gym badge. xD I have a pretty good start on my Pokedex too (about 89 Pokemon, give or take a legendaries that won't be added 'til I get the national dex), but I just got tired of it after a while.
