    What? You're making no sense at all. I'm saying if Pokemon made a crap video game, would you still buy it?

    Fine, so you admit you don't like every aspect of Pokemon, correct? Because when I heard that, I assumed you meant you enjoyed everything they created, which was hard to believe.

    • Lol Vance he made perfect sense. He was basically saying "Yeah, he'd go for something that's flawed, as long as it isn't crap."

    Anyway, people compare pokemon to a lot of games and then mention its flaws, without ever mentioning flaws of the things they're comparing it to. People talk about the flaws of the GTS, or the battle system, or the game's difficulty (lack thereof), or any extra features it has. To me any extra feature, even if it's flawed greatly, is better than not having the feature at all. And there's plenty of awesome games that are relatively easy.

    I don't think that liking all aspects of pokemon means that you automatically like something even if it's flawed. I think it just means you don't think that any aspects are flawed, and if they are, it's not significant enough to make a difference.

    I love the games and I like the anime (better now than the originals IMO). I think the TCG is cool and I wish I still collected them, kinda, though I wouldn't really feel like dishing out the cash. I don't like competing in competitive battling or basing largely inclusive opinions solely on competitive reasons, but I do like reading and discussing the strategies.

    Other than that, I'm not that into the other aspects of pokemon, but I don't say they're bad or anything.

    Sadly, it's true. Back when I was about 8 years old, Pokemon was a huge phenomenon. Nowadays, people just take it for granted. That being said, what other games are there that is still being enjoyed as much as the original Pokemon Red and Blue? Playing those games brings me back, but not TOO far back. I mean, has anyone played the original Zelda game for the NES? It sucks. Trust me. I for one, still enjoy Pokemon games, which is quite ironic if you consider the fact that I'm 20 years old and I don't like anime very much. That sure tells us something about Pokemon games!!!

    I do like everything about pokemon, a bit about that..(i will try to appreciate, even the bed side of Pokemon)
    evan flaws, im just trying to point out to you "CRAP"(Remember, you said In my case, my oppinion is "crap"-Aggron ) then you said earlier that you cannot mess with my oppinion. But i cannot use the Past in dealing with these kinds of things, So meaning i DO LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT oppinions that are "crap".

    YOOM-TAH got what i said, why didn't you?

    Um, in case you haven't noticed, Diamond and Pearl is being played and enjoyed way way WAY more than Red and Blue right now. It was a huge phenomenon back then because it was new, and you were 8. The original Zelda for NES is awesome, btw.

    The PSP is hardly talked about these days and DS surpasses it with R4. Pokemon is one of the main reasons why the nDS survives today

    I love Pokemon, and always will until the day I die! :D
    It may seem sad to you, but Pokemon is the coolest thing ever to me.
    I plan on working for Nintendo, and making POKEMON games. ;)
    So, Pokemon is forever in my book too! :D

    • I could care less about what other people say about Pokemon. I've been playing since Gold and I love each game (though differently, RSE must be that rebellious child or something). I'm sure the kids at my school wouldn't approve (some kid made fun other another for playing Zelda games and he didn't even know what Zelda was - idiot). Then again, I could care less.

    Where I come from Pokemon is huge in the highschool, seriously 1/3 of the boys in my school play the videogame, the card game has an OK following too. There were several people who went out and got DSs just to get D/P when it came out (me included). I think that era will be passing soon though, it's just not at all popular in the middle school, it's not as popular with underclassmen either. Pokemon isn't yesterday's garbage yet, but it could be soon. Hopefully all the Elemetary students I see playing will keep it going.

    ;_; What are you talking about? Those were amazing! Why else would they have them on the Wii Virtual Ware(or whatever it was called). For me, the one thing the new games can't replace are the excruciatingly wonderful/painful puzzles. I'm pretty sure anyone who's played second gen will remember ice cave and how it took forever to get through it.

    What I'm saying is, even if it becomes old and a part of the past, it's part you your heart.*is getting cheesy* All Pokemon games have irreplaceable things that can't be replicated in newer games, not exactly at least. It's this that'll keep Pokemon going.

    Same in my high school. about 40% of my school are gamers so Pokemon is still going strong. The card game is constantly being played by the guys in Calculus, my brother (was) included. (he graduated) I've played during band, while the director wasn't paying attention. >> <<

    What...? Pokemon was relatively small in '98 and '99. It's now huge. Diamond and Pearl sold far more copies than Red Blue and Yellow did in the same time frame.

    Aand, you can't deny that there are haters out there. Everyone has their own opinion. But still, Pokemon isn't going to die out and be yesterday's garbage for a long time.
