Pokemon hasn't been good since Ruby.

What exactly in the transition between Ruby to Emerald just said to you "now this is shit"?
Honestly I think even Gen 4 wasn't bad.
I think the preference comes from which generation you grew up with.

Pretty sure that Emerald would be lumped in with Ruby and Sapphire considering they're all gen 3 games.
And I agree that the series hasn't been that great since then. The only game that remotely caught my interest since then is the remakes of Ruby and Sapphire, though I've barely even played that since getting it either. Since they switched over to the 3d engine the game just hasn't been that enjoyable.

Depends on the person. I've been playing since Red/Blue. I thought Gold and Silver were a lot better and that Ruby/Sapphire were even better than that.

I don't personally feel like there's any real pattern to the quality of the series. It's had its ups and downs, with none of the ups being terribly high or any of the lows being terribly low.
I thought Gen V was pretty great, Gen VI was pretty mediocre, and Gen VII looks... like it'll be pretty good, so far.

It's weird. I honestly love the Pokemon series for a lot of reasons, but at the same time, if I'm going by the standards I judge all other games with, I can't really point to any one of them and say, "[I]Now this is an amazing and very well-crafted game.[/I]"
I guess it's just a matter of there being a lot of things I like and quite a few things I don't like that prevent them from being truly great, and I just tend to focus on the things about them I do like.

[QUOTE=megafat;50543017]The overwhelming majority of stories in video games are absolute garbage. I could probably have a Top 10 or Top 25 list of best stories in video games and there wouldn't be much to leave off.

SOMA by Frictional Games. Coupled with some fine environmental design and memorable moments, the characters & themes about artificial consciousness are one of the best in the genre. You should seriously read some of the reviews, it's a very deep game (pun intended).
As good as it sounds, a united European army (See: EU states pitching in for an EU defense force or whatever) would turn into a clusterfuck with the big nations (Germany, France, UK, Netherlands) doing piss-all while the Eastern and Southern European nations would be giving the lion's share of the troops and be expected to bear the burden of massed military spending.
Konami should sell all things Bemani to Capcom. IIRC, wasn't Naoki Maeda the glue that held DDR together?

I remember when people didnt play video games for the plot or anything big but just for the fun and the mechanics
Like the most standout occurance of this is the Crash Bandicoot announcements from this E3. Crash Bandicoot 1, 2, and 3 are being remastered for PS4, as well as the charachter appearing in Skylanders, and everyone seems to focus on the Skylanders and deem him "ruined" and "destroyed" (Which is another greivance of mine. Feels like people think a badly made entry in a long running series ruins the old games somehow) instead of how [I]three full classc Crash games are being totally remastered[/I]
It's like people have blinders on for good news about gaming and purposefully focus on the bad just to have something to get upset over.

The idea that if a man/woman in a movie isn't stapled onto someone of the opposite sex they're obviously gay/trans/whatever, because why develop new characters with these traits when we can just staple them onto existing ones!

White people shouldn't have to pay for what their "ancestors did" Both sides of my family got treated like shit from the British (Irish side got treated like crap, Brits bombed my grandmothers city of Dresden to the ground), and the French (Huguenots persecution, had to flee to Germany), if white people do have to pay then when can I expect pay from the British, French, and the Catholic Church?

I always drink a ton of chocolate milk when I get the flu since it's a cold beverage, tastes amazing and is rich in protein and calories. Helps a lot when you can't eat.

I want to like watermelon, but every time I try it it's a horrible experience.
watermelon is the most bland food i've ever had. it's not sweet and doesn't even have a distinct flavor.
i'd eat it if i was thirsty though.

maybe you've just eaten some pretty bad watermelons, there's nothing like a slice of nice sweet watermelon on a hot day as well.
it's been that way my whole life. i've lived in 3 very different states too, one of which is likely a large consumer of watermelon.
to me it's just WATER melon
[editline]21st June 2016[/editline]
watermelon candy is some of my favorite stuff though.
Blackcurrent is the worst sweet flavour
fuck purple sweets! Orange, yellow or green are the best!

Every melon I've had has definitely had a distinct flavor, it's just a subtle one. Though plenty of them haven't been sweet when they should be at least a bit sweet.
