Lol there is so much more depth in pokemon then can fit on one of these posts it's unbelievable. What's even funnier is that Nintendo NEVER mentions most of these deeper gameplay factors (such as individual values, effort values, nature breeding, and so so much more) even in their guides. Pokemon is like a hard candy with a nuggetty center. On the surface is a relatively interesting and unique RPG, but as you dig deeper you find gameplay complexities and battle strategies that could throw the most savvy RPG player for a loop. It's sad that everyone assumes it's a kiddy game because of the cartoon and the fact that the actual game itself is pretty easy. But, if you ever get into competitive online battling, you will find nothing to challenge your strategy and intellect more then a good game of Pokemon! Unfortunately, because most of these deeper gameplay strategies remain hidden from the general gamer, reviewers aren't aware of them either. Nor do reviewers ever take the time to get into the metagame, to see that there is actually a very large community of mature and skilled Pokemon gamers.
