I found it a lot scarier than 'real' horror games like Silent Hill 2

After playing FF5 (which I absolutely adored), FF6 was a big let down. Way too many characters for me to develop any real investment in them and the battle system took many steps backwards.

@MarsAtlas Your picture is a freakin' Raltz, I don't think you're in much of a position to complain about bad pokemon designs. As for the whole legendary overload thing, I think how they're implemented into the games is a more important factor than quantity. Example, Gen 5 had a ton of...

The ending to Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. Why is it surprising? Because, well, it's a pokemon game - the franchise is not exactly one to tell emotionally involving stories As for the first Mystery Dungeon...that one just annoyed the hell out of me as
