Back when I was about in 5th grade, my entire class was hooked onto pokemon games. We would bring our gameboys to school and battle each other. But after a while it got boring. The battle system got monotomous and the newer versions that came out (Silver and Gold) were practically the same thing only with a different person and a 'new ' adventure. All of them featured the same old aim. Get those gym badges and defeat the pokemon league thingy (You know, those funny people with those stronger pokemon in which you had to defeat in a row). After the release of Silver and Gold I just drifted away and never really thought about playing it again.
