For a second I thought there was a version of pokemon named "Pear". XD
Anyway, I feel conflicted about Pokemon. Having started at the Red/Blue games, played through to Fire Red/Leaf Green, I can say that they were certainly fun. However, now that I'm an adult learning skills that actually matter to the rest of my life, I really want to get the first 151 pokemon names out of my head.

I played the older games a few times on my mates Gameboys, but I never owned one until Platinum came out. And now that I have it I doubt I will ever buy another Pokemon game again. There's nothing particularly wrong with the series and I'm finding it fun in short bursts, but it's pretty much the exact same game as the old ones. Bar a few additions to the Pokemons stats, such as their temperaments and what sort of food they like, there is no difference between Platinum and Red/Blue. Sure, there are "new" Pokemon, but they learn the exact same moves as the old ones. That's not new, that's just a slightly less lazy palette swap.
It is gradually getting more and more kid friendly as time goes on but I love it as much as I loved it when I was a kid.
They'll really have to disappoint me to chase me away.

They all look nice but I personally stopped playing after ruby/sapphire. I think it's because I never bothered to get a Nintendo DS
You may think that's funny, and I laughed as well, until I remembered that my parents really believed that. My childhood sucked.goodwithwords08 said:
Pokemon is awesome. "Growing out" of something is just saying that you're less honest about what you like now.
Both the anime and the games were fine up until Crystal then it started to die for me.
This is mostly because I played Ruby/Sapphire and I wasn't going to buy a DS.

What the heck did I just read? I believe a facepalm would be quite appropriate here...Sacman said:
Did the person who wrote that even attempt to understand it? Their explanation took bits and pieces from the TCG, video games, and anime without making any distinction between them. I had to laugh at the description of pokemon abilities. Since when can electric pokemon use antigravity (except maybe Magnemite, but that's a magnetism thing, not antigravity)? And can anyone show me a poison move that breaks bones? Or any move, for that matter? I can't think of one, even considering the other three generations that have come after that was written.
Just fucking end it. The pokemon design is stupid as well as the names. The first 150 I could say "yeah, I can see that existing". The next 100 I said "ok, still not bad. Not as good as the first but I can suspend my disbelief a little". At this point they are point at objects around the office, giving it a tail, and saying a random string of syllables until it sounds like a name.
I found it on a Gamesradar top 7 one day...goodwithwords08 said:

Like it, but worried about where the series is going to go after Black/White.
Despite what people seem to blab, Pokemon design is just as good (and bad) as its always been. The originals arent sacred, or good. For every Charizard there is a Jynx, Mr. Mime, Lickitung, and Hitmonchan. Same for every generation.
And despite what people say, each new generation brings new and updated mechanics, which makes the battles new and exciting. Stealth Rock is the only complaint I have for the current generation.
Either way, I like them. I think the series has to expand to MMO soon, as its getting too big.
