Yeah it had some good, creepy moments.  Personally, I really hate the two-character dynamic though (same with Zero).

+5 Pokemon
-7 Metal Gear Solid (now that Fallout has fallen out, this is the least interesting of those remaining, to me. Nothing against the series)

True.  I really rushed through Revelations when I played it because I was borrowing it.  I bought it when I saw it on sale but I need to play it again.

I borrowed it too. If I didn't have such a huge backlog, and a huge to-buy list, I'd definitely get it. If I see it cheap somewhere I'll get it. Very replayable game, and I loved the multiplayer. I've heard Capcom wants to make future games in the series more like Revelations, so maybe there's hope?

+5 Metroid
-7 MGS

You made an alt account just to vote on this?

Oh dear.

+ Metroid (because there is no bad Metroid game)
- Metal Gear Solid

eh...depends how you mean that. There's no Metroid game that is a bad game. There is a bad Metroid game, in Other M. Kind of like how Star Fox Adventures wasn't a bad game, just a bad Star Fox game, and Super Paper Mario isn't a bad game, just a bad Paper Mario game.

IMO X/Y was on par with Ruby/Sapphire. It's not a bad game, but you're mostly buying it for the new graphics engine.

It's funny how you list Fairy Type making Pokemon better, and I agree. What's the only other Pokemon game to introduce a new type now? At least in Gold/Silver the new type isn't so domineering (Fairy types are mega useful now), this is why I feel older games were better almost no Steel/Dark types were mega useful in Gold/Silver.

Also ......you're taste in Pokemon is terrible IMO. Compare Greninja to Blastoise or Feraligator (or even Gyrados/Lapras). It's just a huge letdown, Greninja is like a weird fighting Lickatung. Aegislash was cool, but I still prefer a more traditional Gengar (and not Mega-looks terrible), and while stuff like Tyrantrum were cool, they aren't original. Tryantrum is not that different from Tyranitar, they are both super strong T-Rex like Pokemon with a huge list of weaknesses.....the last cool Pokemon I can think of was Rayquaza and I believe that's based off a myth (aka better thought out).

This is why I like the first 2 gen pokemon the most. A lot of new Pokemon are based off silly concepts (X,Y, and Z shapes? a Keychain? some Gears in gen 5?). I feel that all of the original Pokemon were based off real animals/myths or were in general better thought out. IMO Dragonite and Mewtwo are the 2 best looking and well thought out Pokemon, but I'm also fond of Charizard, Blastoise and yes Pikachu. I just don't see as many unique Pokemon now, and a lot of Pokemon are just copy and pastes of older ones (like Rockenrola/Boldore/Gigalith).

I think Nintendo should accept public submissions and have a staff pick out the best for at least half of the new Pokemon.

Starfox Adventures was an awesome game!

and even at Metroid Standards there really isn't a bad game. Other M isn't special, but it was still worthwhile. It's not 9+/10 like the other Metroids, but it's still a solid 8/10.
