Not him however I like to interject for a moment.

I tried going back into pokemon however even the new games feel bland.

I guess they are great as games for kids and do not have any bullshit however the whole """""strategy""""" of simply swap out to a water pokemon if they play rock is really shallow. Again I did have lots of fun with them as a kid.

Only all the games feel repetitive.
I did have fun with a G2 romhack that literally gave random pokemon everywhere however I do not feel like playing G1 games since I know how they are and all other games are exactly like this.

Every other game is the same clone with the same 3 starter types. And no good pokemon to catch before basically 80% into the game.

And the whole "switch out to the pokemon they are weak to" is boring to me now.

Also I gravitate more to games who use some action mechanic that you must complete to do bonus damage or deflect damage.

There are not 150 characters in pokemon. First some are evolutionary lines. Meaning your pokemon simply becomes stronger and there is no need to have the previous evolution on your team.

Also some pokemon types are literally garbage that no one should use. Other Pokemon have shit stats and will never be used.

SO not really 150 characters.

Only Pokemon are not really characters. Because of the limitations of the hardware and inherited to today the real characters are the moves themselves. Are you so excited to have Blastoise use surf on your opponents VS Lapras use serf on your opponents ?

There is no real difference and the pokemon are more like something attached to the moves and you care about the moves where the pokemon is only a collection of HP and modifiers that make it do more damage with a given move or even have this move himself.
