Are there any Pokemon games you simply refuse to play or just can't play, for whatever reason? Examples: you don't own the system it's on, it's extremely hard to find, etcetera.
There aren't too many Pokemon games I outright would refuse to play, but there is a few I won't.
I obviously will not play those Sega Pico Pokemon games because I one 1.) do not understand kanji enough and 2.) I do not feel like buying a Sega Pico. I want to learn how to read Japanese, but I do not feel like buying an ancient, hard to find console just to do it. Also won't play those Pokemon CD games like Masters Arena because those games are cheap and lazy, anyway.
Also, probably the Hey You, Pikachu! games. I'm too old for Hey You, Pikachu to work for me since I don't have a "kid" voice anymore, obviously, at the age of 24. I hear if you don't have a kid voice, Pikachu literally will not respond to you.
Pokemon Channel, too. I mean, I can't, anyway, don't have a Game Cube controller. Even if I did, I wouldn't, anyway, to be honest. That game is completely in full real time. I do not have the patience for something like that.
& Any Pokemon games that were never localized because I can't be bothered. Especially the Japanese ones with no voice acting. I can only understand Japanese about 40% of the time when spoken. I sadly cannot read Japanese, though, and I honestly feel like you need to be able to read to enjoy Pokemon games.
Luckily, there aren't that many that weren't brought over to the states, though.
There's also a whole ton of Pokemon games I can't play, but most certain wouldn't ever if I could. Those are:
All the Pokemon Game Cube games. (Which isn't a lot.) I do not have a Game Cube controller. I have a Wii, though, but not a controller for the Game Cube, so I don't think it'd work well with the Game Cube games. I'm hoping games like Collo and XD just get ported to the Switch, so I can experience them that way.
I can't play Pokemon Typing Adventure because my ds's battery is currently not as good as it used to be. Otherwise I probably could and would buy it. Fun fact btw, this is the only English Pokemon game that was localized to Europe but not America. Weird, right?
And there are a lot of Pokemon E-shop games I will eventually not be able to play if the 3ds e-shop store closes. But, I'm going to just.... buy them before the shop dies, if I can in time.
Obviously can't play any of the Wii Ware games anymore. And I'm not modifying my Wii to purchase them. Well, I guess there weren't that many, anyway.
Other than that, there aren't that many others for me I either can't/won't play. I'm the type of person who only plays Pokemon games on physical hard ware and would never use an emulator unless for you know romhacks, so to anyone saying "you can! Just use an emulator!" I won't.
