Naah, I don't agree. I mean, I agree that Pokemon games do have very deep strategy, but reviewers definitely know about them. If you look at overall reviews they are most definitely positive. I've read reviews for diamond/pearl and they say (just like in the other games) the reason the game is so good is because of it's satisfying gameplay and deep strategy, even if it is intended for kids(and it is intended for kids). You got it a little mixed up. You can't say it's not a kiddy game because it is. It was made for kids, and that's why it IS easy and cartoony. In reality it's a kids game, but the hidden content and depth is what makes it so good. It's a kids game with a real game hidden inside. But it's been around so long many people have realized this by now. Look at all these guys explaining why they like the game so much, there not kids. I've seen tournament winners in pokemon, definitely not kids. The millions and millions of copies sold, not just from kids. And if that thing about the general gamer missing the deeper gameplay(those are the kids) was meant to be an indirect argument of why I don't like the game, you were wrong ;) |
Sorry I should have rephrased that, people think Pokemon is ONLY a kids game. Which is fine, I guess, since the pokemon Metagame didn't exist to the mass public until this generation (there was a program called netbattle that let people battle online with fully adjustable pokemon teams before this). I disagree that reviewers ever know about the deeper strategies involved. Pokemon got good reviews because it's a good game anyway. There are plenty of single player functions and online multiplayer with friends is fun too. But, I doubt they really spent any time seeing what it's like outside a small group of friends. Anyway, I think everyone here who has played it agrees that it's a great game and not one that should be missed!
