The only Pokemon games I played were Yellow, and both of the Stadium games on the N64... and I effing loved 'em.  Those memories are making this extremely appealing.

Come on Ryan, Onyx is way more useful than that. Onyx can also use tackle and constrict. He's a hard hitter with high defense. He was my go to guy for a long time in Red/Blue. Ah those were the days.

The only one I played was Blue a long time ago, but they don't look like they've changed a ton.

Why is the most powerful Pokemon on the top slot? I haven't played this series for years but that ain't how it's done.
 
Lol, I love how you guys pronounce  Nidoran.

also i still enjoy pokemon. I bought diamond on the last family trip i went on, i wouldn't be comfortable playing it out and about somewhere where people would know me though.. but that's just me.

I love how all of the complaints that Jeff has are for issues that have been in literally every Pokemon game.
 
Shows you how far the series has come, I guess.

the leveling up restoring all your health is a good idea, but if you did the free switch in it'd make batting other actual people a pain in the ass.  which, I don't suppose Jeff cares much about so it's understandable he'd want that.

I absolutely love pokemon, but I'm really glad this'll shut up the people who wanted an ER of Pokemon. It would be so fucking boring.

HeartGold instead of Superior Silver? A shame.
