Poll: Poll: Are you a closet Pokemon gamer?

[Darkwolf9]

I used to play the crap out of the video games and got crazy addicted to the card game. Every time i walk by the TCG isle in a store i always stop to wonder "what if?"

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I'm using an action replay to add replay value.

What's an action replay? I've heard people use the term, but I've never had any idea what an action replay device is.

It's a cheat card that let's you add anything you can collect in the game to the game. For example I have just beaten the first gym and I have a Charmeleon, two eevees, a swablu, an elekid and a seel. All pokemon you can't get before the national pokedex.

Lies! I have almost all of those and never used AR. It just pays to know people online who have tons. Friend of mine tossed a bunch of pokemon my way, although I'm sticking with just Diamond pokemon for now.

... and if you had not figured out I still like pokemon, something is very wrong with you.

I play Pokemon and tell freaking everybody.

lvl 100 Alakazam, IV perfect and EV trained for Spec Attk and Speed.

"I Use Snolax"
"I Use Alakazam!"
"Snorla-"
"ALAKAZAM, SO FREAKING FAST ITS NOT FUNNY, SMACK HIS FACE AROUND WITH PSYCHIC SO POWERFUL HIS ANUS BLEEDS, AND NOT THE SNORLAX!!!"

Snolax defeated.

The GBA pokemon games are AMAZING, I hate all the other ones and hate the card game, but I LOVE pokemon yellow

 

[Lt. Sera]

I used to play (only red/blue though), nothing to be ashamed of, they were awesome games.

 

[KenzS]

i used to play pokemon games alot when i was a kid, i still have one for GBA, i havent played it in awhile. The last time i played it I wasn't ashamed to admit it but I certainly wasn't proud of it.

 

[Gamer137]

I used to be hooked on it, but then it just got too repetitive. I still think it is a great series, but after I got bored of Pearl version, I dont think I will play it anymore, unless some kind of Pokemon MMO came out. I think it could easily work.

 

[DarkXDemon]

used to play on the GBC all the way from red/blue to crystal
after that the game just started going downhill with the GBA and the new character and pokemon and whatnot

 

[Bigfatstupid]

I remember when pokemon was still new and collecting the cards was an all time craze at my school in elementry. Hell, I collected them too. I also got into a lotta trouble for having them with me and repeatedly had them taken away by the teacher. I remember the last time she found me with them, she forced me to do my work in another classroom where her husband was.

He was an old guy, but he was nice and direct with me. Funny enough I can still remember the words he told me.

"You know this pokeman (They always said 'man' for some reason?) thing you kids are into won't last forever."

And I honestly replied. "But it'll be around for awhile."

And low and behold, nine years later and pokemon is still here among us. Two points for me XD.

Now to get back on track. Yes, I honestly love pokemon, but I keep it to myself because I know my sister or other people would look at me in a wierd way. I'm a little old to be playing and watching the series still, but really. . .

Who the hell wants to grow up?

 

[Evilbunny]

I played it when I was little but I have no desire to play it now.

 

[HSIAMetalKing]

I love Pokemon-- I've never been ashamed to admit that. Why, when Diamond and Pearl came out, my friends and I had throw-down pokebattles in my school's parking lot.

Unfortunately, I'm way better at pokemon than most people-- so when my friends stopped playing, there was really no one else that posed much of a challenge to me.

Pokemans are the bestest.

You aren't a true pokemon player until you understand EV's.

Be warned, you cannot unlearn what that link shows you.

I sometimes wish i did not learn it...

Hah, EVs are for kids. IVs are what separates the tough, manly men from the little boys.

Alakazam, pffft.

That's right, I pfffted at your Alakazam.

Nothing compares to my perfect IV Blissey, nor my near-perfect Ninjask and Marowak.

The amount of breeding that it took to get those... is just mind-numbing. My Ditto is such a filthy whore.

 

[N-Sef]

I sold my Pokemon Pearl to stave off the addiction, I was playing it day and night. I plan to buy Pokemon Platinum though, so I'll be right back into it again.

 

[fluffylandmine]

ok i'd like to retract my comment before... i went back to my collection... and i started to play... and so i'd like to say...THIS IS PROBABLY THE FUNNEST FRANCHISE I'VE PLAYED IN A LONG TIME.

also i have the 380th diamond copy made in the states and i'm waiting for platnum in the states. then all my lvl 100 are going to my platnum(when i get it). also i have an insane dialga with some nice EV's and IV's.

now i have to go play mass effect to make sure if i'll ever be the same.
