I dunno man, maybe there really are things you can grow out of. When I was like five or whatever, with my first Gameboy, Pokémon was incredible. You had this whole world in your hands, your world, your own little gang of friends and it was just incredible.

And although I don't believe in reinventing the wheel, given all the technological advances in the last fifteen years Pokémon seems to only just now be advancing.

White and White 2 were a step in the right direction, the stories although primitive, made it feel more like an actual....game, and not just a repetitive loop of battle after battle. But I feel like Y is a step in the wrong direction, stripping all the story and complexity White and White 2 added and focusing entirely on advancing the visuals instead.

If Y had the same gorgeous visuals, but attempted to build upon the depth, continuity and complexity W/W2 brought to the table, it may well have been a masterpeice but instead it just feels more like a showroom demo.
