but these new ugly ugly designs for the monsters (the Ruby/Sapphire/Diamond/Pearl generations) are just unimaginative and downright ugly designs! Even the whole design of the game has been made to something neo-futuristica, compared to the homey, yet, also pretty high tech and friendly older versions (Yellow, Blue, Red).
All I can say is, when the newer Pokemon games came out (sure I like them because of their game upgrades and graphic changes), I stopped. Heck, I pretty much stopped the whole Poke-craze right when it was 2001.
My point is... the quality of the game-design decreased and the visual design of these new monsters are absurd. That's my main problem.
I could go on and on and on, but I will not... mainly because I'm tired.
Don't get me wrong, I like the games... they are amazing and really addictive! But the whole marketing slew (post-2000 due to nostalgia factors) is just annoying. I'm glad it's cooled down.
