How Pokemon is Broken
How Pokemon is Broken
I borrowed Pokemon HeartGold from my brother to see if I could relive those carefree days I spent in Johto as a child. Sadly, those days are gone forever. My 60+ hours spent with HeartGold taught me one thing: Pokemon is broken.
I just thought this picture was funny. That is a truthfact.
Without addressing the overarching complaints that surround Pokemon � the lack of innovation � the issues I talked about above are the two biggest ones that break the Pokemon games. Maybe I�m not hardcore enough to slog through the games without complaining. While I love the fact that Pokemon is a surprisingly deep series � I don�t go near the breeding and EV stuff � I think it would take a turn for the awesome if it showed just a little more accessibility. If that happened then my time spent training my critters wouldn�t feel like such a dreary, mind numbing chore. So come on Game Freak and Nintendo, forget about creating new batches of Pokemon. Fix your gameplay mechanics and I�ll be first in line to throw more money at you.

Hey Dtoid, I'm TriplZer0.
I'm a science fiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction writer by trade, but aside from writing, video games are my biggest passion. I also write over at Gamer Limit.
The first console my brothers and I ever got was an SNES for Christmas one year. Since then, we've owned an N64, Playstation, PS2, and an Xbox 360. I got a Gameboy Color one year for Christmas, but my brothers are more into handheld gaming than me. Every time they upgrade to the latest system I get their hand-me-downs. That's how I obtained my GBA and my two DS's. Handheld gaming for some reason doesn't interest me even though I know there are great games out there. The first console I've ever been the exclusive owner of is my PS3. The first games I ever played were Super Mario World, F-Zero, 7th Saga (which I've written about), and Out of This World.
My favorite genres are RPGs (Western or Japanese), FPS, action/adventure, and RTS (even though I suck at them).
