Well, I enjoyed Let's Go very much, except when I wanted to actually throw the controller at the screen because I was so tired of the goofy capture mechanic. Although it was a little strange that the villains were more sympathetic than the protagonist's childhood friend. They were at least trying to accomplish something according to a personal ideology. Steve's just an idiot. :)

>it is very much a JRPG made by Fisher-Price

I'm OK with that. I'm not here for deep, unsettling psychodrama that forces me to ask myself the hard questions. :)

>the monster designs are pretty uniformly wonderful.

It's interesting to see how the aesthetic has evolved (as it were) over the years. I mean, some of the creatures in the first generation (as represented in Let's Go, anyway) are pretty weird, but they weren't Klink levels of weird. :)
