No, I don't gotta...

I played the first Pokémon game when it was released, and I found it to be simplistic, but solid. I didn't really play another title in the series until X/Y... Which are kinda awful. I was expecting them to be slick, streamlined, and kinda perfect by now; instead I found a confused mess of a game designed to literally waste time. I get it; you gotta keep those kids occupied, so make the messages, menus, and prompts as slow and convoluted as possible; but man, when there's like 750 monsters to catch and a number of incredibly deep subsystems to manage, it all just feels to brutally inefficient.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is pretty cool though, I guess.
