Okay, so it's growing on me. I daresay I have gotten excited about playing Pokemon again. Since yesterday I posted things that pissed me off, here are some things I like:

-BATTERY METER :D:D:D

-N is an immediately fascinating character.

-PLASMA TEAM IS BEST TEAM. Seriously, they dress like knights, they have a freaking incredible battle wipe, and their ostensibly noble intentions, potentially earth-shattering as far as the basis of the game is concerned, are undermined by their inability to practice what they preach, to wit kicking Munna to make it bleed Dream Smoke. That scene kind of got to me. These fuckers are crazier than Team Rocket ever was, and way better villains than any in between.

-So the first gym has three leaders, Grass, Water and Fire, and you get the one your starter is weak to. The upside? You also can go next door and get the elemonkey that their type is weak to. I finally have a usable second party member!

-Remixing the Accumula Town theme in-game.

-I forgot the other one. I do hate that the sound effects are all way louder than the music, though.

So, yeah. Not so bad after all, or at least we shall see.

Also, totally unrelated, movie season seems to be starting up. I saw Rango last week, and there is one movie coming out each week for the rest of the month I want to see: Red Riding Hood (aka Are You a Werewolf? the movie), Paul (about a wisecracking alien; despite this, I think it has potential), and Sucker Punch (schoolgirl with an AK47 fighting dragons in another dimension? ¯\(0_o)/¯ ). So that's fun.
