Pokemon - For the last time, it's not for kids!

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.
