This game is sure to go platinum multiple times.

You know that old saying "another day, another dollar?" Why not make it "another season, another Pokémon title" as Pokémon is continuing to live on whether in RPG or spin-off form. With 35 games already released in the US since its debut in September 1998 (that's 3.5 games a year), Pokémon continues to sell millions in whatever form it's released (not to mention countless movies, trading cards, action figures, and more). With such a popular franchise, it is sometimes tempting for a company to milk the name without providing the same quality that previous titles have experienced. Take popular franchises such as Crash Bandicoot or Spyro the Dragon, for instance. These games began as gems in the early days of their series but as the years went by, the popular names couldn't gloss over the rough spots that were present in some of the later sequels. Thus, it's easy to fall in the trap and reviewers and gamers alike appreciate it more when a company can continue pumping in great ideas into a franchise without seeing dollar signs.

Warning: This Review Spares No One in its Use of Terrible Puns PIKAWHO?! On September 30, 1998 Pokémon Red & Blue spread across the states like the plague spread in the middle ages. Since, Pokémon has left its mark on a variety of systems including every handheld (Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and DS), as well as Nintendo 64, GameCube, and now Wii. Second only to Mario as the top selling series of all time, Pokémon has truly become a household name nowadays. So whether you’ve tried it or not, chances are you’ve probably heard of it (unless you live in a cave, in which case I wonder how you’re even accessing the internet at this point in time).
