Chit-Chat: In which we welcome back Shining Raichu from his extended vacation

[Oryx]

I tried once! I got bored after getting 3 good stats on a Mienfoo. I don't like RNGing so that was my only way and just didn't feel like it anymore, haha.

 

[Sableye~]

I've planned out plenty of teams, but I never go through with the training. The one I'm working on right now was just thrown together without checking movesets or stats- it's more fun that way.

I usually spend more time stealing stuff from wild Pokemon, hunting for shinies, etc. more than I do battling and training, though.

 

[Honest]

I stopped playing Pokemon altogether. Although I'll be honest, if I did have a game on me, I'd probably EV train a good team again. =P

 

[Captain Gizmo]

I love how people always use uber Pokemon for their team, while I use non-evolved Pokemon as my competitive team, and yet, I don't lose a lot.

My Pokemon are uber ;)

I'm in a similar position that you're in. My interest in Pokémon is on the decline. But even if I were to get back into the swing of things, I couldn't battle competitively to save my life.

 

[Shiny Celebi]

I dont see myself ever not being interested in Pokemon tbh. I feel like I will always play it at least somewhat.

 

[Honest]

Okay, I'll admit. Ever since I found out about PC's Battle Server and also the Fortune Cup, my interest skyrocketed.

 

[Captain Gizmo]

I kinda went into a time when I thought Pokemon was getting worse and I was thinking it was for kids. I was like around 13 until 17. Until I bought Heart Gold just for the sake of playing one of my all time favorite game when I was a kid. I got hooked right back into the Pokemon world, and I absolutely do not regret it :)

This is it for me too, to be honest. I don't have enough time in the day to invest in competitive battling, as fun as it may be, too.
Got work, have to cook dinner, clean, etc (live on my own) and I'm trying to learn a language too. Plus I have a bad backlog of games I really need to play.

 

[Arcturus.]

I'm pretty sure I went through a time where my interest in Pokemon just dropped as well, just a few years ago I think. I can't remember what brought me back though.

 

[Kura]

Honestly I even feel that my interests in Videogames has dropped which is a shame. I've been meaning to start playing Persona4 for ages! Perhaps when it is warmer and I dont want to automatically jump into the heated blanket as soon as I get home!

 

[Treecko]

Honestly the only video games I play now are Pokemon. Though I usually don't play much other games, but I used to be a bit more of a gamer when our PS2 was downstairs instead of upstairs. I sometime play Portal, Mario or Megaman games, but that's not really often. And the only mario games I have are the spinoffs.

 

[Nathan]

I have tons of time to play but my interest in Pokemon is declining as well. Shooters are taking over me.

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

*sees previous posts*

See, this is what I meant about Charizard becoming one of the most underrated Pokemon in the series, because of the sheer hate he's getting from competitive players, as well as any other Pokemon who isn't in OU. It is also the reason why we need more Pokemon in OU, so less Pokemon will be discriminated based on their tier placement.

As for people losing interests in Pokemon in this forum, it gives me another question: Why does Mario and Zelda have for older gamers that Pokemon doesn't that keeps them supporting those series for the past 25+ years?

 

[Sir Codin]

This just in:

Changing your profile picture on Facebook doesn't do a damn thing to change anything.

 

[Arcturus.]

Probably has something to do with Pokemon being considered childish and nostalgia, which is a reason why there are still some older people playing Pokemon today.

@CarcharOdin

I'll have to take your word for it, because I don't even use Facebook. ._.

 

[Shiny Celebi]

I just play some Pokemon and Fire Emblem right now. Im not sure which one I want to play now, probably Fire Emblem because I havent played that in a while, but Id also like to work on my Pokedex.

 

[Captain Gizmo]

That's a good question Pinkie. I'm guessing it's because Pokemon have that anime and childish look with creatures made for little kids? I don't know really. Because Mario got that kiddie factor also, but somehow it still gets praised by the same people who hates Pokemon.

 

[Sir Codin]

Here are a few things that keep me interested in Pokemon:

[Shiny Celebi]

I dunno.From my take on it,I think Pokemon is a game made to be more accessable for kids. Ive found other games such as Zelda more difficult and requiring more skill than Pokemon, Im not sure if this is true, but it may be.
