Another day and another new Pokemon game(s) that I probably shouldn't buy, but probably will. I know that this is a long running game series that has evolved at a glacial pace over the years and yet that is what makes this series so great. It never totally forgets its roots, but each iteration seems to be able to advance a better story, add tons of new Pokemon, and does improve upon it's predecessor's graphics. Again, these changes take place very slowly, but you don't have the issues you currently due with some series like Final Fantasy where the solution seems to be making each game radically different from the last and at the same time making multiple sequels to each new entry in the series. What you end up with is a series that fans don't even recognize anymore with an increasingly watered down, convoluted story and no real connection to the other games. I don't want to hate on Square Enix too much as I'm currently engrossed in FFXIV, but I'd say it's a fluke compared to the last couple of main entries into the series. Back to Pokemon though- I still haven't beat Pokemon Black 2, but as soon as I do Pokemon X/Y is on my radar:)
