@Ryoga Kamishiro;

I don't have a favorite ship... ^^;

You just opened up Pandora's box with that one. xD Lief asked me this awhile back, so I'll quote myself since the reasoning hasn't changed much:

As a child I watched my brothers play the first two Resident Evil games and was pretty terrified of them. xD But somewhere down the line I found it fun to be scared and bought my own copy of RE4:Wii Edition. From there began my love of the survival horror genre (how much RE4 fits into that category is up for debate due to how much it had changed from previous entries of the series, but regardless, it's still one of my favorite videogames.)

I had seen the title "Silent Hill" pop up in multiple "scary games" lists, so my interest in it was piqued, but I lacked the means to play it. (We were never a Playstation family. My brothers borrowed one to lay RE1 and played RE2 on the N64.) So I just read the summaries about some of the games and left it at that until Silent Hill: Homecoming was released on multiple consoles, including the Xbox 360, which we do have.

It's not a perfect series by any means, but after playing through a few more games I really came to love the idea of the franchise. The idea of some town that's a supernatural entity that can magically scan your mind and look into your past to figure out what haunts you (not necessarily out of malice or to do you harm. The creators have never really addressed it and leave it up to fan interpretation)...is both terrifying in theory and intriguing to me. The mythology of the town and the stories of the characters are interesting as well, and this form of media allows one to be immersed in the story along with them, figuring out just what the hell they need to do to get out of there and in the process address (and potentially resolve) the issues that brought them there. And depending on the game and which playthrough you're on, what you have the character do could drastically alter the ending they receive.

Another reason I like it that can be applied to the genre as a whole is because it takes out a bunch of complicated stuff out of life. To be put in a situation like that, you have to reset all of your priorities and it comes down to pretty bare brutal stuff just to survive. All that adrenaline going through you, confronting something that might not necessarily be pure evil, but still poses a challenge and a threat that must be dealt with all while reaffirming that you want to get out of the situation alive and that it is worth getting out of. Bonus points if your character or other cast members are dealing with psychological issues, because while I may not be able to relate to space zombies trying to eat me alive, I can relate to issues like the fear of loss of constants in my life, or breaking of taboos we have placed upon ourselves as an individual, family, group or society.

Soooo tl;dr: I find survival horror to be a fun genre, SH fits in that category for the most part, match made in heaven.

I'll also add the atmosphere of the games, the joke UFO/DOG endings, and the crack the fandom comes up with.

@Jabber Claus Favorite episode of Batman Beyond?

First sorry for how late a reply this is!

I haven't seen all of Johto or Hoenn so I'll exclude them unless you want to know where I'll place them from what I saw.

For me it goes Sinnoh > Unova > Kanto. It works out like that game wise too.
