I hate this old school gamers that think that the "retrogames" like Red and Blue were the only good ones.
Diamond and Pearl brought online, new ways to evolve pokemon, more interesting features to contests, and the GTS. It is almost perfect.
My only complaint is the unoriginal pokemon in the IV Gen, they all sucked.

Personally, I think Fire Red/Leaf Green, were the best. If only it had online.

I think it's possible that I'm shit at Brawl in comparison to my 10 year old cousin.

I agree with you SpanktheMonkey, as a matter of fact my OWN first pokemon game was FireRed and I loved it.
The new graphics, the new attacks, everything was great.
I remember those times, when I didnt worry about Ivs, natures, etc..

NEWS FROM GAMESPOT!

Wii 2 in production, Miyamoto out of ideas? Source: See below.
What we heard: This morning many Nintendo fans perusing RSS feeds did a spit-take upon seeing two headlines, both from the online edition of British industry-news magazine MCV. The first proclaimed "'Wii 2' in production, confirms Nintendo," apparently indicating the successor to the console is ready for manufacturing. Another piece on the site titled "Wii Music 'Miyamoto's last idea'" gave the impression that the legendary game designer had finally hit a creative wall after three decades at Nintendo.
Unsurprisingly, the eternal game of telephone that is the forumsphere reverberated with the double-shot of news--news that actually originated from a single article in The Wall Street Journal. Titled "Keeping Up Nintendo's Momentum," the piece is a collection of quotes from an interview the financial daily's Japan correspondent did with company president Satoru Iwata. But while a pair of the executive's comments led to MCV's attention-grabbing headlines, upon closer inspection, their meaning radically diverges from what said headlines imply.
Concerning the Wii's successor, Iwata said, "The hardware team started work on the next thing as soon as they were done with their previous project, but what they think up doesn't necessarily become a product." (Emphasis added.) He went on to emphasize the conceptual nature of Nintendo's next console, and to underline the fact there is no actual Wii 2 product yet--let alone one in production. "We only turn something into a product after it's been thoroughly vetted inside the company," said Iwata. "We're not at a point where we can give specifics, but of course we're working on it."
As far as Miyamoto goes, Iwata said that Wii Music, the rhythm title awkwardly demoed at Nintendo's E3 press conference, was the last of the designer initial concepts for the Wii. "Wii Music completes what Miyamoto wrote in his proposal when he came up with the idea for the Wii," Iwata told the paper. The executive continued, "He was saying that he needs to think up more ideas now," indicating that far from being at his wit's end, Miyamoto is hard at work on Nintendo's next big thing.


The official story: See above.
Bogus or not bogus?: Not bogus that the Wii's successor is in the early stages of development--as is the fourth PlayStation and the Xbox 720 (working title). However, it's 100 percent bogus that Miyamoto has had his last idea. That won't happen until the 55-year-old designer jumps off into the great Mushroom Kingdom in the sky.

A Wii 2? Nooooooo. I just got all these different channels and my Wii connected to the Internet. They can't do this!

This happens every generation.

After the second year of a console's release, the companies suddenly become surrounded by rumors regarding their next console. Nothing is actually meant to be taken truthfully until the companies' consoles have ran their production schedule. That would probably be around the fifth year for the Wii and the Xbox 360. For some reason, Sony's consoles are expected to last into ten years.

Am I the only one who thinks the Wii needs a good FPS? I mean, when I first got the Wii, that's kind of what I envisioned. Awsome controls for a good FPS, but they've only given us one so far (Metroid Prime 3).

[Z Warrior]

You are not alone, Cable. I also ranted about fps on the Wii

[Rudol_Ichiga]

Yes, MP3 was the only good FPS.
I thought Red Steel was going to rock...

...boy I was wrong.
