Are you sure? Dude, the new game mechanics are WAY, WAYYYYY BETTER then the old ones. If anything, HeartGold/SoulSilver is the best version out so far. You should finish it. There's absolutely no reason NOT to. It's not even that hard. (minus Red at the end. Fuuuuhuuuck that.)

People with the Japanese versions of Black and White say that B/W is fantastic as well. I've seen all of the pokemon for Gen 5, and I personally love them.

The problems with double battle turn-taking is fixed, the problems with assigning typed attacks to attack or special attack has been fixed, triple battles in B/W make a lot of sense now that they brought team attacks and placement-switching into battling, and there's all sorts of crazy strategic shit going on for a tourneyfag like me. And you can have a little pokemon dude walk behind you! That shit is adorable. Even people who play this game casually enjoy it.

There's a lot of nolstalgia for Red/Blue of course (or Ruby/Sapphire, if you are underage B&), but so far the new games haven't sucked yet. If anything, Diamond/Pearl was kind of the meh version of the bunch in terms of things you could do and new guy designs. Platinum did have Looker, though, and I'm glad that he's in B/W.

I saw the new Pokemon as well, and they look cool, but I dunno. It's so repetitive that I cannot bring myself to finish SS. I might get B&W, but I probably won't finish it.

I just... need something new y'know?

I see your masamune and raise you an aniki

Most RPG games are super grindy like that. If you don't like grindan, the Ace Attorney games are pretty damn good (and no I'm not recommending that just because I got into Phoenix Wright REALLY hardcore). Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes (if you don't have that already) is a fun game, and I don't mind replaying stages because I like unlocking things.

I don't know if Ghost Trick is out or not already, but it's supposed to be awesome. The Professor Layton series are pretty good as well. If your attention span is as bad as mine, there's always fighting games!

Lol, sorry, but I'm already into the games you mentioned, haha. Got into Ace Attorney when it first came out, got into SB when it first came out and played the trial version of Ghost Trick and got into it :\

BALLSSSSS

er...Tatsunoko VS Capcom? Donkey Kong Country Returns? Professor Layton? Cave Story? Sin and Punishment 2?

Shin Megami Tensei's RPG series are pretty good, and they don't feel repetitive at all. The Persona spin-off series are really popular, but in my opinion only Personas 1 + 2 were good. 3 and 4 are popular, though. I'm going to suggest Kuzunoha Raidoh and Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne as well.

Haha, thanks for trying!

My friends are actually really into Persona. I dunno, I should give it a try, but I don't money for it. Right now, I'm just gonna replay AAI xD
