    Soooo yeah, its been a while since this poll came up, but, what part of the pokemon franchise do you prefer?

    The anime? The video games? The manga? The Trading Card game? Or other parts of the franchise?

    For me, I personally prefer the game, because, well, its the most fun, for me. :3
     
    My primary interaction with the Pokemon franchise has always been with the games. Apart from Gen IV, I've played at least one game from each generation and have always, for the most part, enjoyed playing them. I'm not a massive RPG fan, so there must be something about the nature of the games that keeps bringing me back for more. Haven't found it yet, tis all.

    I remember watching the anime when it first aired on television, but I was about 10 years old at the time and only really watched it because of its connection to the video games and not as a show in its own right. Indeed, I was always disappointed when the anime went off-track of the games: especially in the nature of evolutions - I always wondered why Ash and Co. had such weak Pokemon despite going through so much together... I know the whole message of 'friendship' and 'fraternity' and all that (God, it sounds like the French national motto!) but it was this disconnect that led me astray.

    The trading card game was a popular fad in my school for about two years, but I never cared about it that much, again because of the perceived disconnect between the TCG and the actual game. Of course, people in my school didn't feel that way, and the intense competition for cards (especially a shiny Charizard card for some reason) led to their being banned irrefutably!

    So... yeah: the games for me!
     
    Gotta be the games. I don't really know how to put it... But it's like they're the big, main one out of the franchise: the successor of all it's fame. I did enjoy playing with the cards, too, but I prefer the games a lot more. You can get involved with them a lot more and really relate to them. Plus, they're a lot more fun. :3
     
    I love the anime & games.

    The anime is something that is a part of my childhood & till this day, a part of me. I've grown with the anime & all of it's characters as well<3

    But of course, you gotta love the game. It gives you a chance to take part in your own fun Pokemon journey quest.
     
    The anime, as you can see your favourite Pokemon in 'action'.
    The games, obviously; fun, portable, & you 'own' your own Pokemon.
    The TCG - I've collected it since I started liking Pokemon.
     
    The games are it. The "anime" has been degraded to a kiddy cartoon for me since season 2. I call it a cartoon now. Thanks 4kids.
     
    In this order, I am into the Pokemon video games, the anime, the manga and the TCG. The first time I got into Pokemon was through the anime and TCG, however.
     
    It's half and half for the anime and the games for me. The anime was what got me into playing the games. (Yellow was my first, and that game was basically the anime, but in game form whooot.) But the anime has been getting increasingly annoying and childish, and the gags are overrused, and I dont' care, but nothing can beat the Kanto arc for me. The games, however, have kept me addicted to the fandom.

    So I think I may prefer the games a lot more.

    Definitely the games. I soon got tired of the anime's annoying characters, and I never did get into the manga or the card game. However the main series games (and a few of the console spinoffs) have kept me happily entertained for over a decade.
     
    Currently I would say the games, then just behind them I would say the anime (I was obsessed with it when I was younger but now I'm not as certain when it's on TV - I still catch it when I can though) and then the cards - I don't collect them anymore but I have a whole heap of them somewhere.
