I still think that pokemon is lame.
Chess and pokemon are completely different. If you look, the only difference is the names and pictures of the pokemon.. Other than that, they are all exactly the same; even the attacks are the same thing, either they do damage, give your enemy a chance to miss, or make you stronger.. If you look at chess, then, every piece is unique, they all have very different strategies of how you have to play them. Anyways, these are my opinions, your not going to change them. I feel the good straegy games are ones like Fire Emblem; ones where each time you play you will have to use each character totally different.
In pokemon there are like, 4 factors you have to think about. Your pokemon's health, your enemies health, your pokemons type, your enemies type and the other pokemon you have. In fire emblem there are tons of factors you have to take in when going into a battle. Your health, your opponents health, your armor, your opponents armor, your attack, your opponents attack, your chance to crit, your opponents chance to crit, your evasion chance, your opponents evasion chance, your attack speed, your opponents attack speed, your weapons, your opponents weapons, the terrain type under you, the terrain type under your opponent, your movement speed, your opponents movement speed, the other units you have nearby, the other units your enemy has nearby (and every one of the above factors for your and your opponents nearby units). I could name tons more, if i had to.
