Over time I've warmed up to a large part of the generation 3 and 4 pokemon (Though fuck spiritomb. Who's idea was it to make a spectral dinner plate pokemon?) and having gotten 7 of the 8 badges and seeing over 100 of the new pokemon, most of them aren't bad. I think the pokemon battle system is a damn tough one to innovate on because you have to convey so much information in order for it to be pokemon. As someone who was only 5 years old when red and blue came out, as someone who holds nostalgia of the greatest kind for pokemon Gold, I think these games are a fine experience for anyone to lose themselves in pokemon again. I've kept myself from looking things up and finding out what type of pokemon evolves into what because I wanted to recapture some of that nostalgia and so far it's working alright. Maybe this won't be another pokemon Gold for me but it's still a damn good experience.
