    Hey!
    When someone say "Pokémon", or ask you that do you like Pokémon, what do you usually think the person is talking about? The games, or the anime/movies?

    To me it's the anime & movies. (Maybe cause games aren't popular here, and I got to know about them much after I saw the anime).

    For me it's the games since that's what I'm most used to hearing about nowadays when it comes to the franchise in general.
     
    Definitely the games, and specifically the original ones. Outside of my small group of friends, the people that "like" Pokemon generally stopped caring after the first generation or maybe the second if I'm lucky so they say "I love Pokemon!" when they see my Pikachu bag and then are stumped when I talk to them about B/W, lol. :(
     
    The games. I grew up with Red/Blue/Yellow, and I will die playing pokemon Pink/Purple/Orange. XD
     
    For me it would be the first series or the blue/red games. Most people I know didn't even bother to play or watch more then that so that's why I'll always think of those when someone mentions the word Pokémon.
     
    The games, the manga, the character, and character who made originally by me.
     
    When someone says Pokémon, first thing what comes to my mind is anime and games.
     
    The games. Thanks to idiot characters, i consider the anime dead to me. As for the manga, cards, etc., I never got into them. Pokemon will always be about the games for me. Oh, and a certain cute female protagonist in said games.
     
    I think about the whole franchise as well.
     
    The games. That is where it all started, and I am not too attached to any other part of the franchise.
     
    I think of the games, the anime, the manga, posters, pictures, clothes and dolls that I have ever since Pokemon first came out; thats what Pokemon means to me.
