because in all honesty its not a very well designed game… granted the initial design was groundbreaking and amazing.. but over time instead of tuning the game to improve on a lot of the games more boring/grindy/random aspects they just expanded things more.
the breeding depths is cool n all, but i really think they could have retuned the whole game, making each pokemon/move more strategic like mtg and found a good way to remove the constant grind of leveling into something more interesting and made a far better designed game…
but pokemon falls into one of those design pits where the game sells no matter what they do, people arent that critical of them and accept the fact that they will be spening 100s of hours leveling pokemon endlessly.
the sad fact is i beat pokemon blue and silver… got almost all the way through black and white and barely half way through X… all the games feel the same and are slowly becoming bla…
