I respect chewy for beating a game he doesn't like just to say he beat it.

I wouldn't say I necessarily didn't like it. I just don't have a lot of familiarity with RPGs so I was afraid I wouldn't "get" it. It turned out to be easy enough that it doesn't really matter. I still kind of think it has too many different options, especially since so many of them are useless and you only catch most things for your Pokedex, though I know that variety opens up a lot of replay value with different runs.

All the Pokemon are also part of the charm of the game, too. It's not really that great as an actual game, but it has so much charm and personality. It's a much cooler universe than most other Nintendo franchises. And when you think about what most Game Boy games are like, the sheer volume of different sprites/animations and sound effects is very ambitious and impressive. This isn't going to find a place on my all-time list, but I'd say it's worthy of being called a classic.

(all this isn't really a direct response to Ultima, but I decided to take the opportunity to write a little mini-review of the game)
