I guess angling the shot, controlling the power of swing, then choosing the club according to wind direction, speed and the turf the ball is on and watching how well my decisions pan out is fun to me.

Yea, it's all just golf, but Mario Golf makes this simple. And it's Mario barely

Mario Golf and Tennis are games of their own kind. I wish we had more games that followed this style of gameplay. It's an immersive mix of sporting action and role play with its own setting, characters, narration, secrets, etc. Not an epic, but it doesn't need to be. I feel like it's enjoyable because it gives you a quick, yet meaningful satisfaction and it keeps you playing because of the character building mechanics. It introduces you to the reality of the game, instead of just imitating the real life (not that sports simulators are bad, however).

Pokemon Crystal. I got it when in 2001 when Iwas about 5 along with my GBA. I never felt the same thrill of exploring a whole entire world the way I did with Crystal.There was just something magical about that game. The Ruins of Alph the music, the fact that there were two whole regions in one game. Makes me wish my sister didn't trash it.

There's not much when it comes to story, but by the time you end the first game, you end up liking the character. Then you see the same character with the same personality on several different games behaving the same way, it just makes the whole thing feel like a solid franchise.
