Amen to that. General rule of thumb, the first one's almost always going to beat the sequels. The first time going through the eight gym leaders, the elite four, and the legendaries, it was new, cool, just flat out awesome. But the other games just did that over and over and over... it was the basically the same story every time, with different characters. Dunno how they've lasted this long. it's more addictive than runescape I don't think i can agree with you on that...
