I still haven't finished XII for the very same reason. Especially when your attempting to get Danjuro and taking a "small break". That same break lasts for months, then when I decide to reboot it, I'm left in the same situation.

I'm with Heath, I have a strange habit of getting halfway through Pokemon games, then stopping. Perhaps it's my annoyance over never being able to truely "catch em all!" and my perfectionism kicks in, so I stop.
