Pokemon.
This is a question mainly for people who have been playing Pokemon for a long time. I never thought I would be asking this question of myself, but here I am.
When I first picked up Pokemon Blue and Gold, they were magical to me. I played for hours and hours every day, and never get bored. The same went for Generation 3, and then DPPt. I enjoyed HGSS as much as any of the other Pokemon games I played, but I didn't play it for as long as DPPt, which I logged hundreds and hundreds of hours of gameplay on. Then came Black. Enjoyed it as well, was a great experience.
But now? I haven't played Pokemon for months, ever since I finished my second playthrough of Black and started a new game on Platinum. I picked up Platinum today, and it just felt forced, and empty. It simply wasn't as enjoyable anymore. It isn't because 'teh new gamz suk', there was just something missing. This year and last year, I got interested in writing and philosophy, and have to focus on my studies now that I'm nearing the Level 1 exams. But I would love to just sit back and play Pokemon like I used to, worry-free.
Well, this long post has been leading up to the question of whether your enjoyment of the games has decreased as you got older. Or does it fluctuate? Has how often you play decreased?
I hope mine comes back. Maybe with BW 2.
