Vote Pokemon!!!

I remember the TV series then the cards and the sheer anticipation of reading nintendo magazines telling me of this great game coming out in October 1999. It was my early birthday present and was a great game.

Just LTTP is better.

Well I'm not gonna lie. It would have probably been the Tv series for me to. But we never had cable untill I was in 4th grade. That was 01ish. I do remember being a friends houses watching it occasionaly. But the cards and the games had a bigger impact for me untill I got cable. Then I will totaly agree with you. After I got into the Anime, It was just as big as the game. I believe I got into the anime about 3/4 the way through the orange islands series.
 
That he likes a game because of how it looks and not because of how good it is.

This is something else that pisses me off. For one thing, you don't have to be a "gamer" to vote in this tournament, otherwise there would be the same dozen people voting in every round. Gamers have their favorite types of games, but that hardly means that they're the best games.

Secondly, every aspect of a game should be taken into account when it comes to the bottom line. Some games have such great game play that you can forgive the fact that the graphics are crap. Other games have kind of lousy game play, but if the story and graphics are amazing then it's still a worthy play. In fact, one of the things I love most about my favorite game, Red Dead Redemption, is the fact that the scenery the game presents is absolutely beautiful.

Now, when neither of the two games have particularly standout graphics, such as Pokemon/LTTP, I wouldn't really say the graphics make any difference. However, if it were something like Red Dead Redemption vs. LTTP and he picked RDR because he thought the graphics were simply breathtaking, then who are you to say he's wrong?
 
To be fair the main thing above anything to why I prefer LTTP over OOT is visually it hasn't dated but OOT has. The innovation etc came a close second.

I hope everyone likes my sig!
 
Yet Pokemon isn't slow paced? My bad, I almost forgot that leveling up your starter pokemon by battling legions of Pidgeys and Metapods (who only fucking use harden) for hours was extremely fast paced and tons of fun.

In terms of RPG's, yeah, it's pretty fast paced; a helluva a lot faster and than LTTP.

If you spent hours leveling up against pidgey, ratatat and metapod you only did it because you enjoyed it, not because you had to. You can burn through the game and level up against only trainers if you really wanted to.


Puerto Rican humor, how does it work?
 
So now in the finals, we have a game that was voted in because there was so much to it, vs a game that so simple anyone can master it in a few seconds. Huh. Lol.

Uh no, no one did that because they wanted to repeat the same fucking battles over and over again. I'm a big fan of the franchise, but I (along with everyone who isn't a filthy liar) hated the first 20 battles or so because of the monotony. So you don't play through those battles because you want to...it's because you have to pretty much. There's only a few trainers between the start of the game and the first gym leader, in this generations case Brock. If you want any chance against Brock you'd have to level up your starter Pokemon (Squirtle or Bulbasaur if you're wise) until they know a special attack. How do you do that? By repeatedly beating the wild pidgeys and bug Pokemon in the forest. Sounds slow paced to me.

A Link to the Past is action right off the fucking bat.
 
It takes like ten minutes to burn through 20 or so level 2-5 ratatat/pidgeys, and the fact that you're battling right from the get go kinda negates the slow paced argument.

Repetitive, perhaps; slow paced, not so much.

Dude how is battling the same Pokemon over and over again using the same moves and you can't do SHIT in the game until you complete this slow paced? You say it isn't slow paced but call the Zelda games slow paced when you battle enemies right away. If you think that the description I gave for the beginning of Pokemon games doesn't deserve isn't deserving of a ''slow paced'' game than neither does Zelda.
