Everyday, somebody decides to rant on pokemon because they think it's the same thing over and over. well if you simplify it, it is. but there is alot of depth to gameplay and design for every iteration of pokemon games. unfortunately, the haters are, as you know, lazy as all hell. so i'm going to take all your favorite video game series and just refuse to go into further detail other than basic plot and basic gameplay, showing how each game in the series repeats itself. this is gonna be fun...

Grand Theft Auto
Premise: Take control of a gangster and tear shit up because your boss told you to, then kill your boss when you get betrayed. Otherwise, go beat some hookers
Gameplay: seriously? grab a gun and shoot something. and while you're at it, don't buy a car. take one.

Final Fantasy
Premise: Gather up your freak friends and destroy an evil that wants the world destroyed. Fun after about a hundred hours, most of which is filled with dialouge
Gameplay: magic is the norm, so grab your hat, cane, a white tiger and a reservation at the Vegas Hotel.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Premise: Fat dude wants you dead because you ruin his plans of turning Bambi into a mechanical fish. But don't worry. Due to some freak accident at birth, your quills turned blue and you can break the sound barrier. Nice.
Gameplay: Run to the right. Press A occasionally

Mario
Premise: You go in to fix a leaky faucet, then find yourself fighting a reject Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. What the F@#%?
Gameplay: Open up some whoop ass by jumping on turtles and mushrooms.

Mega Man
Premise: Some asshole wants the world, so he builds, steals, and corrupts 8 robots to come in and mop the floor with you. Unfortunately, each robot is weak to another one so once one goes down, they kiss themselves goodbye.
Gameplay: Jump. Shoot. Repeat

MegaMan Battle Network
Premise: By magic, your dad fuses your dead twin brother with a computer program, but they don't tell you until like game 5. You go to school, fight things in computers via random encounters and dethrone an evil organization. Lots to do when you turn 12, huh?
Gameplay: fight on a controlled area by shoving computer chips in yourself. You never level up. Your chips just have to get better, which makes many early battle pointless.

Legend of Zelda
Premise: This chick you don't know gets captured by this guy who wants the kingdom. So it's up to you to stop him and his annoying as hell minions.
Gameplay: Use your magic sword to smack the shit out of enemies. find several other items to help you on your quest. they tend to be in the most asinine places.

Madden NFL
Premise: It's football. the premise is WIN
Gameplay: Tackle. Tackle. Run. Tackle (it goes on for a while)

Call of Duty
Premise: It's war, bitch! It's shoot or get shot! It's also WW2, apparently...
Gameplay: Shot that guy, that guy, that guy, not that guy, that guy...

Halo
Premise: Space. The final frontier. Time for you to wreck it.
Gameplay: Have you ever played a first person shooter? Yeah, same thing. Speaking of which...

Metroid
Premise: This hot chick that you will never score with goes around in a metal suit blasting the space crap out of alien species.
Gameplay: Shoot. Thats it. If you want to know whats going on, be prepared to read. A lot. You can turn into a ball too, but that's rather pointless.

Guitar Hero/ Rock Band
Premise: Embrace your inner musician by, well, embracing your inner musician.
Gameplay: You have a plastic guitar. a PLASTIC GUITAR. Don't get any more innovative then that.

Random Third Party Wii Game
Premise: totally destroy the image of nintendo's latest system by gearing toward t "casual" crowd.
Gameplay: something that involves strenuous movements that make you look like an ass.

Random Third Party DS Game
Premise: flood the gamestop with half assed story, art and gameplay, as if the DS can't pull off anything better than GBA graphics
Gameplay: one terrible interface plus mandatory touch controls make for an awesome game, my friends.


Any more you can think of? Comment bellow. Sorry if i offended you or your gamer pride lol

Very few of you probably actually care, but I'm back! Yay! Expect some updates in the coming days before school starts. I'll try to squeeze in maybe on or two Gender Render pics before I take a break again in September (oh yeah. KH358/2days) so if your a fan of the series, expect great things!
