I may have stated before, but i generally don't enjoy RPG's all that much. Well, I don't like grinding all that much. Doing things repetitively for long periods of time to upgrade skills just doesn't have much of an appeal to me. (Though I do have plenty of logged hours on Runescape + Paper Mario + Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga). So Pokemon hasn't appealled to me all that much. That doesn't mean I don't follow news about it. I just don't play the games.

(incidently, if you like reading Pokemon webcomics, I recommend Mokepon and Rare Candy Treatment).

On the other hand, I like RPG elements and I don't mind watching RPG's. The stories for the Mario RPG's are always really good, so I like that aspect. I do enjoy RPG elements in more action-y games. Like: But not level grinding for the sake of level grinding. Pokemon is an RPG where you have hundreds of characters instead of just one.
