I want to get one of these games sometime soon; not yet sure which one I want, though
.
I enjoyed playing Pokemon Red way back in
the my day(I still have it(I don't get rid of things easily =)). And I had Sapphire, but ..something happened to it ...
I'd rather download roms than make myself look like some 10-year-old buying pokeymanz games.
I'd say that your issue is not that you would look like an overgrown kid. It's the fact that you lack the self-confidence to not give a !@#$%.
Do you want to buy a game, despite its image? Well then, get it at your nearest retailer without thinking of what the cashier will think >_>.
Seriously, it's pretty much impossible to like the games. As bad as the first two were, R/S was a big pile of c***. It was so easy that it got tedious, there's little to do other than the main quest, and the story is even worse. I'd rather play FF5.
And that's, ..uhhhh, everyone's opinion?

I like Pokemon, as well as FF. You like FF, but not Pokemon. On the other hand: there's probably a series that I don't like, that you do. It's called opinion.
