James Bishop writes in Spoony Bard column for TheGameReviews: "The question, then, is why do Pokémon games of all generations still manage to attract players in the numbers that they do? Nothing truly changes. My Mankey from my original Red save would be mostly the same as a Mankey from FireRed, albeit with a few bells and whistles added on. But it would still just be a Mankey. There's no great plot unraveled through any of the different generations of the game, Team Rocket comes and goes, Professor Oak's grandson is still a douche and your rival constantly steals from whatever professor gives you your first Pokémon."
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
People like catching and leveling their pokemon. The story is just a plus...
It boggles my mind. Maybe I should try a few more of them.
SINCE I WAS IN 3RD GRADE AND CURRENTLY IM 20 AND DNT HAVE SHAME THAT IM DIZ OLD PLAYING IT IF U GROW UP PLAYING OR WATCHING A SERIES ITS HARD TO LET GO OF DAT ANYONE AGREE?
Because I've always been playing pokemon I've always loved it, probably one of the first games I've played, now I constantly give my brother lectures (sometimes quite long ones) about how to train pokemon better. He doesn't listen to my wisdom though
