I literally LoLed in RL when I read this...
OT: Although many say Pokémon is the Nintendo COD due to how much it sells, that's where the differences stop. Pokémon games usually pack an adventure that's AT LEAST 35+ Hours long (along with a 50 hour+ in side quests), as opposed to the 5-7 hour story modes in COD. The Pokémon series characters are some of the most memorable bunch in Video Game history (Giovanni, Blue (Gary Oak), Lance, Silver, Red, Cyrus, Cynthia, N, Geist). It's game mechanics make it simple for ANYONE to pick up, but only few can master (anyone who competitively battles in Pokémon know this). It's music scores are some of the best in video gaming history as well, and they present Adult themes in all their games ( Coming of age and leaving the house is one in all of them, The theme of murder in Gen 1, The theme of mistreatment in Gen 2, Theme of Religion and Creation in Gen 4, and the theme of questioning enslavement in Gen 5). Then there's the addictive gameplay of leveling up your Pokémon and picking the right teams to, and catching them all (More importantly catching all the ever so cool Legendary Pokémon). Also breeding is very important if you want to get into competitive battling, and that can be even more addicting. And last but not least, you have the addictng online aspect of trading, battling, and socializing (great way of meeting people)!
It's no secret that COD doesn't focus on story much no more, and although it covers world issues it main characters don't really grow much from the beginning to the end and little to no life lessons can be learned. And by change you mean nerf this gun and perk to OP this new gun and Perk, then COD goes thru changes yearly...
