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...
