'Cause the hype-person lies...
You lie like a dog! Who... I guess likes to sleep a lot. Or something. There's too many of those little mini-stage things (y'know, like the one with the Spheals that you play basketball with? You don't? Oh well...) for you to possibly lose interest. I have a friend who high scored on Sapphire with 3 Rayquaza stages. He reached 2,000,000,000. For the uneducated, that 2 billion. I guess it just held my attention because I had lots of high scores for me to beat. The gameplay is solid and "fun", graphics great for a GBA (not GBA SP) era game, the sound even sounds like you're actually in Hoenn or Johto or wherever this takes place (Author's note: it's set in Hoenn), the Pokedex (and the pain and hard work that goes into filling it) make replay spectacular like in any other Pokemon game, and you say it can't hold my attention!?!?! Bah humbug.
End.
