I'm not as serious a player as I used to be back in the day. Nowadays I play the new installments for about 6 months and call it that.

Pokemon is an addiction and once you're hooked, you will always be interested in the drug. That's how I am. I picked up Black on launch, played it nonstop, loved it, put it down and haven't played it since.

I was not a fan of the creatures in that game though. Some were ok, but the majority were, to me, lame. I mean a garbage Pokemon? Geez.

However, I have been itching to play Gold/Silver/Crystal lately. Those were the games that got be addicted back in 8th grade when they first came out. Good times.

I guess, even though I'm not playing the series right now, I will definitely pick up B2 and W2. It's just a habit I can't break.
