OK, ok... here, you're being delusional. You two said the answer: "...we were huge fans back in the “original 151″ heyday, but as we got older, some of its charm wore off for us. "

What's whit Pokemon, you ask? Well, it's a kid friendly game. It has elementes wich makes it pretty competitive at a professional level, but it's target is basically childrens. You are fans of the original 151, and I agree, those are still great games, but let's suppose you have a son, what will you do? Search everywhere for a classic gameboy, and hope they'll like the arcaic graphics and gameplay? Ask for a friend to buy another GB and a cable link to trade?

As long as Pokemon is a child product (And I dont see anything bad whit it: Young, future hardcore gamers deserve the right to play, too) then it'll sell. If you grow up, then the answer to your question is: You grew up and you're not a children anymore.

Welcome to the world.

I enjoyed both Rush games, I did think the action was sometimes too fast to see what was coming up in terms of hazards though, which meant replaying the same stage a bunch of times, other than that they were enjoyable, good special stages, 3D sections and bosses for the most part.

DS is one of the best consoles of all time. Such a rich library of software
Zelda were all glorious on it.
