Another pokemon game?

[Boularingos29]

Huh.. there is a question in my mind everytime i see a ''new'' pokemon game avalable, most of them are hacks, but does someone plays them again and again? I mean the pokemon games are addictive and replayable and of course i've played many but they need a lot farm and grind and it takes time to finish them, so why someone to keep grinding in pokemon red, brown, orange etc if they are almost the same?

Sometimes it is all about finding the perfect team or beating the game with the Pokemon that aren't meant to carry you throughout. Other times the games just offer some distinct, nostalgic peace of mind that makes playing them into a bit of a relaxing exercise (and we sure could use more of that in this sick, sad world we live in!). I personally just play entire adventures to the end because they don't require that much actual thought (not after traveling those paths for most of my life), oftentimes listening to a podcast or TV show while I'm at it.

And, of course, there's truly brilliant stuff out there, like Cristal Clear, which take the old formula and rejuvenate it.

I feel people play hacks to strike a balance between familiar and fresh. You'll have a hard time to convince me to play a mainline Pokémon game (the series effectively died for me after Gen 6) but super innovative hacks like Emerald Rogue are very much an experience worth having.
