I also played some Pokemon Rumble Blast because, you know, I played some Pokemon Rumble Blast.<\/p>\n
I mean, I really like Pokemon Rumble. It was simple, and silly, but running through dungeons with friends was a lot of fun, and it was adorable. I guess that’s all I really need! I thought it was really worth my Wiiware bucks. I figured that expanding it into a full game would be a fine idea, one that would result in a game I wanted to play.<\/p>\n
But it really didn’t.<\/p>\n
For one, and this is more a me problem, it’s focused on the Black and White Pokemon. I guess I’m just getting old, but seriously, I do not give a crap about the new Pokemon at all. Maybe they’re cool. I dunno! I can’t focus on Pokemon games proper anymore to really figure it out. Maybe if they put out another Pokemon Mystery Dungeon with the new guys I’ll see them. But really, that was kind of a turnoff, having to play with them, I’ll be honest. I wanted to roll with my favorites, as per always. That’s why I love Pokemon! You can pick and choose the ones you love and stubbornly use them even when other options might be better! It’s sweet! But yeah, who knows how far I would have had to get to get to the Pokemon I really enjoy.<\/p>\n
Secondly, the gameplay was exactly the same. Like exactly the same! It’s really simple button mashing dungeon crawling. There’s really nothing to it. While that’s fine, I suppose, I found that I only really found that entertaining in a group format. With a friend, swapping Pokemon and slaughtering other Pokemon is kind of fun, because you’re talking, you’re interacting with another person, and you’re trying out the really shitty Pokemon just for the hell of it because your friend can pick up the slack. When you’re alone, you’re stuck with the clearly best Pokemon, so there’s little experimentation, and all encounters are basically exactly the same. It’s really unfortunate. Maybe if I had a friend with another 3DS and the game, it would be fun? But that’s a really annoying setup, when I could just play Pokemon Rumble on my Wii with minimal effort.<\/p>\n
Yeah, I don’t know. Maybe there will be 3DS games I want at some point? I want to play RE: Revelations and The Mercenaries, but I can wait until The Mercenaries is dirt cheap and for when Gamefly sends me Revelations. But yeah, so far, not too engaged with these 3DS games… well, besides Skylanders, because it’s fucking SKYLANDERS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
