Aye, it's alright :P

In seriousness, I was a fanatic when I was a kid, which continued into my teens. As I approached my mid-teens it wavered slightly, then my interest was re-kindled with the discovery of emulators and ROMs, and I started playing my old GBC games again.

I lost interest for a while, but then fell back in love with the series with the release of HeartGold and SoulSilver, which are now my favourite games of the series.

I'm a huge pokemon fan. <3 I play pokemon nearly every single day. However, the only reason I hardly post in the actual forums is because of my interest barrier. I have really strict interests, and while I do love pokemon and all, I'm not uber obsessed with it.

I do enjoy pokemon, I can't play it all the time but it's good for on the go gaming and has repeatedly cured boredom/kept me up all night.

I love Pokemon, but I don't go in the pokemon related sections much because after a while there's not much more to read that I haven't already seen. I haven't played a game in weeks, but when new ones come out I get super excited and obsessed for a few months. I go through streaks of being super obsessed, and being meh for a while, back to being obsessed.
But since it's one of the only games I actually will play, I do consider myself to be a big fan.

Nah, I'm just here for the booze and wild parties.

....Kidding, I like Pokemon a lot. The video games, anyway. Haven't been into the card game or anime in years.

I put at least thirty minutes to one hour everyday to play Pokemon X/Y. Pretty sure that should clearly spell out my stance on the question of this thread. I do find it rather monotonous though.

But I'm definitely not a big frequenter of the Pokemon-related sub-forums. Maybe now and then I visit.

Sorta. I'm not interested in the newer games and stick to the older games because I find them much more enjoyable when I'm in the mood to play them which is rarely. I haven't watched the anime since I was a kid and I don't intend on going back to watching the anime, I've moved on to better things.

Who the heck wouldn't love pokemon? I can't live without pokemon and my friend says that I should grow up and stop playing then I was like "Who the ♪♦♥♣ cares?". Pokemon is my life and I will be always it's number 1 fan.

I could go for the horribly cliche "Like? I love it!", but no.

I wasn't really an oldie or anything, I only joined when Diamond came out! But, I can say I love the series, it's one of my favourite game series, alongside things like Touhou. Its uniqueness drew me into the universe of Pokemon, as I really liked the idea of becoming a monster coach training your Pokemon to "be the best there ever was". I just wanna give Mr. Tajiri a pat on the back, and tell him he's a genius.

The games? Immersion is a given. Pulls you into the fun from the get go, and basically the pinnacle of the series.

The anime? Slipping a bit in my opinion, but nonetheless good.

That's all I've tried from the Pokemon series. I've never been more satisfied in my life. <3


also...would I be here if I didn't?

This belongs in Pokemon General, CCC is a forum for non-Pokemon related talk :)
So yeah I'm gonna move it there
Haha but this being in CCC is the reason it got so many replies so fast xD Only people who like pokémon look in Pokémon General (or?)

I like pokémon. It's the one franchise I know that is so wide and vast and free that there's really something for everyone.

I like Pokemon, it's pretty much been taking over three-quarters of my life so far. Even though the Pokemon sections aren't my most-visited, I still do post in there a lot because I like to share my experiences and stuff.

I like it but for some reason I haven't been able to enjoy the games past the Champion, probably because X and Y aren't that good IMO.

It's more because X and Y are seriously lacking in post-Elite 4 content.

I don't think so, there's always fun to be had raising Pokémon for battle. But, ever since they moved to the new EV\IV system, I lost patience trying to raise Pokémon because it became unnecessarily complicated.

By post-game content I meant stuff besides breeding and competitive battles (like PWT, PokeStar Studios, Battle Frontier, etc) because you can do breeding and competitive battling every generation. And what new EV/IV system? EVs and IVs haven't changed much since Gen 2. Breeding for IVs has changed some (ie. they made it easier).

Yeah but for me the fun was in those battling stuff. However, in 3rd gen they changed the IV/EV system to the 31 IV/510 EV system which just made everything a bore to do, and before 6th gen you had to actually make notes of how many EVs your Pokémon needed because the game doesn't tell you.

Breeding is easier but you still need elusive 31 IV Dittos to have good Pokémon... In fact I think the breeding system of 3rd gen is far more complicated than what they had in 2nd gen, and it still is, unless you have the correct items to make inheritance easier.

I still like Pokemon but it has faded a lot obviously. Last time I played was when x and y first came out. I finished and it was fun and yeah I haven't touched it since. I ended up getting x around Christmas time and I still haven't taken it out of the packaging lol.

I'll always really love Pokemon, but the mood just has to hit me to really be into it or talk about it.
