Pokemon as a Game

[quilt]

I still can't get over, how little people recognize it as a turn based RPG.
They've completely made it it's own genre though.

Moving this to PGC.
Pleeeease read the announcement next time. D=

 

[quilt]

So talking about the game doesn't come under General talk about pokemon...
I'm stumped.

 

[Sydian]

No. When you're talking about the games and not the Pokemon themselves, that's when it goes here. Had you read the announcement like Miss Doronjo just pointed out, you would have known that.

Oh snap.

Anyway, Pokemon is a victim of gamer snobbery. My best friend is a hardcore PC gamer and she turns up her nose at Pokemon every time I try to talk about it. As far as I can tell, that's what this thread is about. It's not entirely clear...

 

[Haberdasher]

Yeah, even my gamer friends who do like Pokemon generally don't see it as a game to be taken seriously. Hence why, once I'm finished breeding and training them, my EV-trained IV-bred Pokemon will crush them in battle. :)

Lol yeah It's one of the best rpgs I think n if you play it right and have someone to challenge it's the gift that keeps on giving

People don't seem to realize that to be truly successful at a Pokemon game, it takes a lot of dedication. Battling effectively requires a lot of carefully planned out strategies and movesets.
