Did you stop buying pokemon games at any point?

[Beechlgz]

Just curious. Did the pokemon games get so far ahead of you, or so unaffordable or time consuming that you've given up buying them? I think gen IV is my final generation. Not sure if I'm going to play black or white. I'll probably just stick with older generations. I guess I just don't play the games enough any more to keep up. I'm still not even half-way through Pearl yet and they're talking about a fifth generation.

Maybe I'm just getting old lol. How about you? Keeping up or winding down?

1st Reply = Win.

Haha yeah even though it is lowering I still have a high chance of getting all the main Pokemon games, ones on the wii or Ranger, not at all.

But no matter what if they have a Gen III remake I'll buy it no questions asked.

well... i never got R/B/Y because i started with silver. I never bought platinum because there was about a year there where I just thought i was getting to old for pokemon. then i got back into it, finished my old diamond, and now after heart gold i'm going to buy platinum... but i'v never skipped a gen besides the very first.

 

[Pokémon Ranger ✩ Moriarty]

Yes. I skipped out all of the Hoenn games after the disappointment of FR/LG (there's no point remaking something and doing it exactly the same!) and only picked up again with Diamond. Then I went back and played Emerald, and cursed myself that I had missed it first time around. :>

I think that generation 4 might be my last one ever but then again it seemed that way with generation 2 back in 2003. I skipped all of the Advanced Generation games and returned for the video games only (I don't think I will EVER follow the TV series again) for generation 4.

There is a point if you were too young to play the first games or didn't get into pokemon until later. (Me.) I enjoyed LeafGreen very much as it was my first pokemon game. I watched the anime when I was like seven (I had only two channels,there was nothing else on) Im playing through it again,although it was with the intention of importing the bird trio and mewtwo.

I didn't buy Platinum or HG/SS although I will next time I go to a store.

Why would you stop buying them at any point? Who cares about money? Haha! I try to buy at least one game from any generation.

:3 Gah I can't find Yellow at any garage sales or storess :(

 

[Skip Class]

I stopped buying them starting at 3rd gen that's why I don't know as much about that gen. I just got into Sonic games and spent my money on that. But at 4th gen I started buing again

 

[Le Creep!]

Well, I haven't stopped, it's the price which is the matter.

I have played Gen 3, 4 and SS.

I have tried the R/B/Y games before, but, no one be angry, didn't really like them.

I suppose that's what you get for starting on a Gen 4 game.

I sorta stopped buying them for a bit, but I decided to pick 'em back up after SS came out (the one I got before that was Diamond as soon as it was released), and plan to keep buying them :D

Me too. I heard from an Australian show called Good Game Spawn Point that Pokémon Black and White might be released around Christmas time.

I'm quite excited.

 

[Emlam]

I *barely* had the cash for a used GBC and Pokemon Red/Yellow. So. Yeah. That's when I stopped buying them. ;) Too rich for my blood.

 

[Cherrim]

I still buy all the main games (well, one of each set anyway) plus a fair few of the spinoffs. I used to get every game, spinoff or no, but I haven't gotten any of the console games since N64 and I don't buy all the spinoffs anymore--just... most of them.

 

[Dubstep]

I stopped at Platinum, because the games aren't challenging enough for my tastes. My Pokemon needs are satisfied by manga and fanfiction.

 

[Tree_x]

The Last one i Purchased was platinum did not get SS/HG cause i really did not see the point i will be buying Black and our White thou :3

 

[Hybrid Trainer]

No i still do, i dont play them though. i find it easier to buy the game and back it up to play on my R4. then i usually just give the game to one of my friends :P

 

[Eurydice]

i had to stop buying them after the 3rd gen. i did get diamond awhile after it was released. i had to stop buying them because i didnt have a ds and i didnt have any money.

 

[Schwer-Muta]

I skipped R/S/E, but got Fire Red since I had no idea where my Gen 1 games went. Then I resumed getting Pokemon games since D/P came out. As for B/W, I'm just going to wait for the obligatory third game.

 

[XxRogueTrainerxX]

I skipped Platinum since I already own Pearl.

 

[Sydian]

Not really. I stopped buying the cards at a certain point, but never the games.
