Usually, games as beloved as Pokemon (Mario, Zelda etc), their first games are cherished as classics. I guess the first Pokemon games were popular because the basic concept was just totally fresh and interesting? Are those of you who think they suck, are you guys old enough to have played the original FIRST? Because if not, that might be why there's so much backlash against them.
Well, that was the plan. I don't know how else I'd appreciate the improvments if I never played the original games. Although, again, I don't know how a game that was so beloved could be "terrible". People don't think the first Mario is terrible. This whole thing seems odd to me. |
New Super Mario Bros. is basically Super Mario Bros. but with different level designs, mechanics, and power-ups, so it's more different than it is better, presentation aside, allowing the original to still be appreciated as the things unique about it have held up.
Pokemon X/Y is basically Pokemon Red/Blue but better in literally everyway. More Pokemon, more features, more gameplay depth. Outside of nostalgia there's very little reason to play a lesser version of Pokemon.
