Pokemon is one of those games that I sort of wish grew up alongside its audience but I understand why it didn't. I guess I pretty much outgrew it - haven't touched a Pokemon game in years and what I've seen of some of the weird character designs and localisation choices hasn't done much to sell me on them.

They're also not the most nuanced or story driven games around in the first place which typically kills my interest in a setting. With that said, I'm looking forward to Tactics Ogre Reborn and Diofield Chronicle. They seem set to have what I want in spades.
