I don't know why pokemon rumble world has been so addicting, but it is.
It does make me wonder why there has not been a pokemon streetpass game. You know, have people pick their favorite pokemon, and when you get people you get access to one of their favorite pokemon (and the other five in ensuing streetpasses), and you can raise their levels with coins or more streetpasses and use them in mini-games like the ones in HGSS or, better yet, pokemon stadium mini-games. You get to see how many pokemon you can collect, and it can lead you to be genuinely pissed about how many people give you charizard/gengar/pikachu/mewtwo.
On that note, I don't get why Nintendo hasn't taken the concept of Pokemon Stadium minigames and ran with it. I miss those suckers so bad and would pay a lot for a mario party-like game where mini-games and boards are instead based on pokemon.
Ok, just needed to get those thoughts out of my head.
