The Pokemon Sun and Moon Conundrum

It usually takes me around a few weeks before I’ve moved on to my second playthrough of a Pokemon game. It took me until the start of January before I’d even finished Pokemon Sun and Moon, and this has nothing to do with the length of the game. Instead, it was constant stopping and starting: …

Pokemon 20th Reviews: The State of the Franchise

No, I hadn’t forgotten about this series, although someone with little faith in me (like myself) might reasonably think that I might have forgotten about it until recently… Anyway, with Sun and Moon launching this month I think at least a cursory glance should be given to the trends of the Pokémon series in its …

Pokemon 20th Reviews: Pokemon Platinum

I was really excited to replay Platinum - I haven't played it in ages, but I have some fond memories of the Gen 4 games, specifically of the Sinnoh region. Luckily, my playthrough did not disappoint; aside from a few areas I found lacking, Pokemon Platinum is exactly the game I remembered it being, and that …

Pokemon 20th Reviews: Pokemon Emerald

As I said in my introductory post to this series, I started playing Pokemon with the third gen, and as such one would be right to expect a natural bias on my part towards the games of the third generation. However, when replaying Emerald I felt that, although my feeling towards this game were strong, …

Pokemon 20th Reviews: Pokemon Crystal

Pokemon Crystal is everything I imagine people remember Red and Blue being. It retains the 8-bit aesthetic and the simpler Pokemon and map designs of yore, but is such a staggeringly better game that I can't imagine why anyone would prefer to play the earlier games in favour of this. Even if you prefer the …

Pokemon 20th Anniversary

In honour of Pokemon's 20th Anniversary today, I thought I'd write a little about my experiences with the series in a little off-the-cuff short post. My first Pokemon games were not the originals from 1996, but instead the third generation; Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire (Sapphire being the obvious choice). These games wowed me so much, …
