I don't need an excuse to buy a Pokemon game.

Cards, anime DVDs, and stuffed animals on the other hand...

Because it's part of Pokémon. No other reason.
I'm not bothered if it's a bad game or a good one. If it's part of the franchise, it's going to be mine.

I preordered both at Amazon to get the gift :D But I would also buy it in the shop. I bought Blue, Gold, FireRed, Pearl in shops but now that I have Amazon, I became lazy^^

I'm not ashamed. XD Anyone that knows me knows I still like playing Pokemon games. At work they see me playing it on my iPhone during my lunch break. xDD

I don't need at "excuse" tobuy Black and White 2. I prefer to be myself around others so if theydon't like me or respect me because of my interests then I wouldkindly ask them to stay away from me. I'm just going to probablyorder the games online or get them at my local Wal-Mart.

Lol at the high schoolers who think Pokemon is for kids.

I wear a Pikachu sweatshirt to campus and get multiple compliments every time. So yes, I'll pre-order + pick up my copy without even thinking twice about.

I may just wear my Pikachu sweatshirt while I'm at it.

I always go to the same store to buy the Pokemon games exactly the day they are released here so i guess this time it won't change much, i don't need any excuse, i have LOTS of reasons to buy it. When people say that pokemon is for little kids i just ignore it and justify it with their ignorance, that happens a lot too, i'm always talking to people about pokemon even though they don't really care/understand pokémon, so i guess i'm kinda asking for it ahha :D but whatever

Psht, I am 22 years old and have no shame in my nostalgic love for the Pokemon series. I have already pre ordered my white two.

I agree with everyone here. I don't need an excuse. I love the games and I have both version pre-ordered so I will pick them up at my local gamestop. The workers at my local gamestop are all good people and I talk with them a lot and have pre-ordered HG/SS/D/P/P as well so they give me a heads up on the pre-order and any pokemon events they are giving away from the store.

I don't need anyone telling me what I can and can not like or do in my free time. I work at Target and honestly we get all kinds of gamers at our store so I don't question what people buy. There was a pretty big group for HG/SS release at my gamestop so I have a feeling it will be even bigger. Plus my birthday is on Oct 4 and my work gave me the 4-8 off so I am gonna be enjoying black 2 and white 2. :)

I buy the games because pokemon was a big part of my childhood and it's fun playing games that bring back great memories

I tell all my friends that Pokemon could not possibly be fully understood by a twelve year old boy, and so playing it at my age is not a problem, or something to be embarrased about.

I know people my age who still play so I've got no problem with walking into Town and picking up a copy from Game. If I've played it for 13+ years I'm hardly going to stop now.

Looking through this thread, I see "I will do it with NO HESITATION".

I have a bit of a reputation for being a pokemon fanatic, so anyone who knows me (which somehow seems to be everyone- I really don't understand how that works) will get out of the path between me and the game if they see me. XD
