Hey,

I remember first playign Pokemon in late '98. I remember a commercial where there was this vacuum that sucked these monsters, they called them pocket monsters. I didn't understand the commercial, but there was a show. The show was okay, though I wasn't really hooked on it.

Then my friend and I talked, he said pokemon owned so much, that I should get the blue version, since he had the red version. I didn't have a game boy at the time(this point in time for me was when I wasn't really into video games, I would just watch TV, go outside, and excersise). So i got a game boy color, and pokemon blue, and when I was thoroughly playing it, I WAS HOOKED!!!

This game is almost as strategic as chess! People battle it out with their pokemon, their raised to the highest levels, some people would make ####ie decisions in using your starting pokemon(charizard for example) for an ultimate team(which is REALLY bad).

Anyways, when people now see pokemon, they see a game that's dead, the hype being over. Also, when they see/hear pokemon, they think of Pikachu, since that's the first sense that kicks into them. Pikachu = kiddy. Pokemon wouldn't be kiddy, but it was the companies that milked Pokemon, and Pikachu for children that made it kiddy. If there was no children pokemon products that consecutively got milked, pokemon would be as good, hell, even better than final fantasy.

Read my quote again, Pokemon is NOT kiddy, it was the companies that made it kiddy.

How the game goes? It's VERY deep. There's the quest to beat the game which doesn't take long, to catch all pokemon which takes a good while, and to have the strongest well built team in the world. People that are casual gamers would go for the 1st one, people that really like the game would go for the 2nd, and people who like competition would go for the 3rd(I am described as the 3rd).

Before you vote, read what I just said, Pokemon is MUCH deeper than a yellow rodent, you have to play the game before you judge it, and I believe most of you didn't. And even if you did, your peers probably kept critisizing pokemon, such idiocy, for a game they never played. It's like someone critisizing Zelda, Final Fantasy, or even Mario.

And by the way, the site I will be making would make you WANT to get pokemon, infact, I have connections with Nintendo(though small), and if my site goes great, I could hold national, and very soon, world tournaments for as much as one million dollars.

although some people think my names kinda camp imreally a erdington boy....and even i was addiceted to pokemon on the the gameboy. ive complted blue yellow and silver...so sad i remember how in blue i never let pikachu evolve ...how sad was that..pokemon is old but when it was good it was dam class ..i rememeber in year 7...(memories) i was a pokemon card legend....no really i was. i had fossils cards. like a year b4 they had come out in england and i sold charizard 2 some fool for 12pound! i never once baught a pack though i had the best cards.apart from my friend chris... who by the way sometimes play xmen ..his log in is EX2....anyway..i was a lil haggler.

i used to love playin with pokemon cards everyone had some our school had to even make a new rule to stop kids from bringing them. I also love the game the one i played was pokemon gold.

I'll admit I was addicted to this thing I watched the show, and the games and even have some cards...But now i dont watch the show...the games are still kinda fun..even though they are repetitive now..and I have the cards in some dusty binder in my closet...but it was cool, not so much anymore..but it was.

yeah... i kinda learned how to play those damn POKEMON BATTLE CARDS !
it was hooking me up really good !
now i that i found a place to buy DBZ starting deck, i can retry going into it !

well... back to pokemon...

i kinda loved the GBC games, but suddently a lost the beat to it... why ? because the game was so repetitive that i couldn't really stay hooked for long... plus the story was so.... i mean, it was not very attractive, the engine was great tho for a GBC game !

now, i will try POKEMON CRYSTAL / RUBY on GBA !
seems to have an over amped new ENGINE !
tho it isn't out for us yet !
jap only !

anyway !

the TV show sucks hard, not always, but most of the time !
the games were at least a little bit better !

i never thought pokemon was kiddy... but i always knew the show was a load of turd... but the games... are awesome. cant wait untill pokemon saphire and ruby come out here...

Finally some1 cees mypoint[/quote]
Pokemon=gay crap

well... i rather loves BATTLE CARDS then the TV show !
actually, games are always better then the TV SHOW, except for the case of DBZ which the show is like 20 fold better then any other game ! except perhaps for the latest BUDOKAI and the one who is coming, that one which will have ANIME FMVs and that you will play the story till you get to BUU !

anyway...
Pokemon, is old right now, but DBZ is that old too, just a question, what is the latest ANIME that came out ? i mean, all those who play are all above 5 years old ! so my guest is... kids just want more of em ! that's all !

my cousin was their biggest fan and he doesn't listen/play POKEMON things !
now were on BEYBLADE !!!!!!!!!
that's just cool !

Beyblade= not so bad

i used to like pokemon b4...but i admit...i still like the tv show a lil (only the new epizodez) I used to play pokemon silver, pokemon crystal, pokemon stadium, pokemon stadium 2...now they all sukk...coz the game boy gamez are too easy

well me I loved the pokemon game when I first played it, I would carry it with me all the time, playin outside in the car and all........ I was hooked like most of U say :D I was always battling with other people to get my pokemon stronger.........and we would have little competitions against one another.......if U losed the match U had to surrender your strongest pokemon......... I surrendered my Dragonite and my Charizard but won a lot after......... I was on a roll.........then I just stopped playin because nobody would play the game anymore......... I loved the game but don't get it twisted, I don't like the show :biggrin:

Bro Poka monster is that gayest thing ever

[quote:post_uid0="Maori_Legend"]Bro Poka monster is that gayest thing ever[/quote]
Yet another example of how each generation has less common sense than the last....

or, another victim of the raging disease known as stupidity...

i think that soon, it may be time to restart the SFPOA...again...

I find the show repetitive but i still enjoy it,with the card game, and the gameboy games :laugh:

yea wateva but its still gay well not for kids i spose

:D

man look at it its got the gayest names pikachu dubya tee eff is that
and gay looking things creatures or wateva you call them
its just not right but thats my opinion and if you dont like it well you can just flamming at me

Peace Out :p

I Just Think Its Boring.

When i was once hooked onto the Blue version, I then became hooked on the TV show. It was a race to get 151 pokemon between my friends, and I was the first to get them.
After I had A LOT of cards, the pokemon craze eventually left me. This time was the dark ages for me, I forgot a lot about baseball and was just crazy about pokemon. I was glad the times were over.
I never really played the yellow, silver, gold, or crystal versions. I wasn't that interested in pokemon then, but the games were REALLY good. If I had a gameboy advance I would definitley get the new versions out.

personally i think pokemon is really for toddlers...remember those cardz that use to be very populer?? i use to steal em off lil nerdy kids and sell it back to em :) haha

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! :laugh: :laughlong: :lol:

well, i did think pokemon was gay.... but after i dug up my blue version, i was hooked again... (to the games) so now i am going to buy saphire!!! :biggrin:

un huh... sure you did... sure you did... this my friends... is another example, of ppl lying over the internet trying to act like there all that...

lol...what da fuk IS up your arse?? i mean whatever i say u seem to have somthin to say bout it it does get annoyin ya know...but then again u r a fukin goon so whocares

ok first pokeman was just a fad lasted till some kids started making fun of it then it went down hill another thang thay added what 50 new pokemon at one time thats what got me off it i mean i was 14 watching a pikacho dance around in a dress and i coudent keep up with all the new episodes
thats why i think tv shows are just a fad but you know how much money thay made off that tv show and cards and games

when i hit like 11 i started 2 like it when i hit like 12 i hated it so so so much now i thinks is gay

well..............i hated that show pokemon. matter of fact i still do. i remember being in middle school where people were trading and sellin cards. and i even saw people with their gameboys linked up battling each other. i thought the world was coming to an end.

so here is my opinion, the people who created pokemon shall burn in hell and sizzle in their own juices.

matter of fact i remember this oe south park episode. it had somethin talkn bout chipokemon. thats exactly how middle school was.

:laughlong: YES GGUNDAM SPEAKS THE TRUTH AND DA_VIPA :D

Well i dont mean to be a hard ass but........

Are alot of you Freaken Idiots?!?!!?

Did you not read what TarkanX first posted? Do you guys want me to quote his entire first post? Did he mention anything about the Show?

If you guys missed the point (which im sure many of you did) of the topic read TarkanX's post again. Here ill make it easier on you guys and just quote it..........

as you can see, he is not talking about pokemon cards and he is defenantly is not talking about the show.

HE IS TALKING ABOUT THE GAME!!!!!!

Yes i agree with alot of you tho, The show and cards are just plain stupid. The show is practacly the same thing over and over, the cards are a waste of good money. What tarkan said about the companies making it fruity is true. If they really wanted to they would make it for older ages like teens, but think of it this way...............

Who plays the most video games? Children do
Who Watches more cartoons? Children do
Who Buys stupid cards? Children do

So now you know why they target the younger youth, because they can make more money off of them that the older crowd. If they made it for older ages they would lose interest very quickly since they are so close to there adult hood and will pretty soon have to act mature. So they target youth because they have more of there childhood in them and will get hooked for much longer. Making the companies happy and making more and more products for them to eat up.

I can say that "XMvsSF is gay, that $hit is for little kids. its just a waste of time, only little stupid kids play that game" and most of you wont even agree with me.

Why? because you guys know that its not just for kids. People of all ages play this game but people are going to hate because there going to hate. Ignorance drives that hate.

Here is my opinion: Well, i think the line of pokemon games has so much potential if people just gave it a chance. I hardly play any video games, but Pokemon Red is one of the few ive got hoooked on.

Like tarkan said, its like chess. If you know how to play the game then you will really get a hang of it. People would just consintrate on getting your pokemon's level as high as they could and get the strongest moves as they can, but its not even like that. Even a weak pokemon can defet even the most strongest of monsters if you know how to use him.

Having a game like this can actually strike something bigger like online play. people around the world can have there little mosters and battle eachother like a huge tournament. I really dont know about the other game because the only game i was hooked one was Pokemon Red and Blue. The game has so much dept to it, you really do have to be good at it to beat your fellow friends.

ok tupac dont have a fit. so here you go.

my opinion is that the game sucks. cause whats the deal with little animals with crazy powers. plus i dont like to spend most of my time trying to level up those pokemon so i can get a gym badge. if you ask me there are too many pokemon games as it is. its mostly the same thing.

Dont trip, i know pokemon are for kids.

Just like GGUNDAM and other shows :buttrock:

Pokemon is the same as ANY RPG. You level up your characters, gain more moves and abilities, increase the strength of your stats, and defeat bosses (in the form of Gym Leaders). The only reason ppl think Pokemon VIDEO GAMES are for kids is because the TCG and cartoon are targetted for kids. Ppl think that the games are gay just because they have little monsters, but if you get past that outer cover of little monsters, the games actually require quite a bit of strategy. Think Final Fantasy-type strategy.

And I could easily say that there are too many Final Fantasy games as it is, they're mostly the same thing. However, you would stand up for FF and not Pokemon because FF doesn't have little monsters, and instead has people and such. Ppl get too hung up on the "little pikachu" bull######## and automatically put it down as a game, even before they give it a chance.
