I also played Fire Red on an emulator, didn't think the whole thing was for me, etc.
It's still not 'for me' but I did try Pokemon Diamond on a whim and it was fine. I don't know about any newer one. Diamond and Pearl are identical to Fire Red / Leaf Green except that they are in color and there's a few extra mini games and stuff. Apparently each game in the series adds ~150 brand-new Pokemon and only a few previous ones will carry over so your original 151 will be mostly just fond memories except for a lucky 5-10 that made the cut. Charmander did not.
After a few weeks of honest playing I unlocked all of the Pokemon using an ActionReplay code (an obnoxious younger cousin had been bragging that he could kick my ass in a Pokemon duel and I wanted to shut him the fuck up with some lvl 100 juggernauts - success!) and I haven't picked it up since.

Hmm, that sounds like I want to fuck Charmander, which while true is not exactly what I meant to say. Anyway...
I played Fire Red on an emulator back when it first came out, and can still remember most of the original 151's names and weaknesses. Then I saw the cartoon (anime) and all the Geocities sites and decided the whole thing wasn't for me. But now, it seems like Pokemon got so lame and overexposed that it looped back around to become cool and underground again, like South Park fans think South Park did (it didn't). I hear there's a new one coming out soon, would that be a good place to start over, or would I be hopelessly lost in obscure pokelore?
(Disregard if having unlocked all the Pokemon was part of the dream and not sko sad spillover from real life.) |
