Where was the original Golden Sun? What of the original Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga? Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is a completely different game than Tactics for the PSX. Unless you are Japanese, you would not have been able to play Fire Emblem in any other country but Japan until three years ago. Those are the ones that I have played and know to be without originals, so there could be more possibly.


And what is all this hype for Pokemon? It's fun, but it hardly has any real deep strategy to it. Play Tactics Ogre or something of that calibur. And what of the plot and story? It's almost non-existant. You are simply put on some random quest to be the best or get these blah blah pokemon over and over again. Now, do not confuse yourself and think that I hate the Pokemon games - quite the contrary as I have almost all of them and enjoyed playing all of them throroughly. My point here is to say that just because it's fun and easy, every single time, does not quite net it being the "greatest" game. It is my view that RPG were meant to be epic, a quest, a story, something grand and intriguing, like a story that you play out, deep and complex. Pokemon is just fun, not deep and akin to that of a novel.
