No one plays main-line Pokémon games for the gameplay. That's ridiculous.

It's all about the strategy and/or adventure aspect, depending on who you're asking.

Strategy and adventuring are part of the gameplay, which is pretty much always the main reason to play any game. Seems like fps_d0minat0r just isn't fond of Pokemon, which is fine.

In a game like Mario Kart, the gameplay is all about optimally driving through a stage while dodging pits, items and other racers. In a game like Smash Bros., the gameplay is all about fast, strategic reactions to your opponents movements and being able to keep the momentum once you've gained it.

In a game like Pokémon though... the gameplay itself is all about moving your cursor to the best strategic option, and moving your character to the place that you'd like to explore next or have a need to visit.

 

Hopefully I've made myself clear.
