    Which aspect of Pokemon do you keep up with the most. Are you still a gaming fanatic? Or do you still watch the Anime? Maybe you still keep up with the Pokemon Special Manga. Or maybe you keep up with every single aspect of Pokemon because you're just that nerdy much of a fan.
     
    Just recently I was talking about this.

    I'm down to just playing the games now. Every once in a while I'll watch an old episode of Pokemon just to remember the old times. I still have a case of cards from when I used to collect them, but I haven't bought a pack of cards myself in years. I've never gotten into the Special Manga so there's no loss there. Also I was never a big plushy or Pokemon figure collector either.

    So it's just my Pokemon games and I. I don't feel like I'll be quitting on the games anytime soon either.
     
    I don't really keep up with a lot of the aspects in pokémon, but I try to have at least some of it. The most I really do is play the games and watch the anime. However occasionally I usually read some of the manga online when I'm in the right mood for it. I really need to catch up with some of the episodes in the Pokémon DP Galactic Battles series, and I try hard to wake up 7:00 in the morning and watch the new episodes every Saturday it can be tough if you stay up late in the night. O_o;

    Other than that, some aspects I don't really care to meet up with. Such as collecting all the trading cards or something similar to that. I'm definitely not a pokénerd, so I'm going to it keep that way...not saying it's bad to be one though. XD
     
    I am still in love with the games some of the most entertaining games in my opinion, and every once in a while I'll watch an older episode and maybe a new one. Still keep up with the movies. As far as cards I stopped long ago they're too overdone now. Anyways mainly the games for me :3
     
    My focus has always been the games, and then the manga. I stopped watching the anime years ago - I watched the episodes up until the end of the Johto saga, and all the movies up to the end of Advanced Generation and then stopped.
     
    RPG. I love the stuff. I don't know, I just like the whole concept but I don't like to see myself as a hardcore fan.
     
    Strictly the games and hunting for fanart. I haven't seen the anime in years (at least not by choice; sometimes when I'm not in school my brother makes me watch it), I'd like to someday try reading the manga but I just don't have the time. The card game never interested me.
     
    Personally, I would have to say that I play the games most of the time. This, however, doesn't mean that I don't keep up with other aspects of Pokemon. As a moderator of Pokemon General and a Pokemon fan anyway, I try and keep up with everything. Usually, I find it very hard to do so because circumstances don't always fall to positive with me. If we take the animé for an example - I've been keeping up with it as much as I can but then, the TV channel that shows it over in the UK started showing non stop reruns of the same old episodes over and over again. It sucks because I really want to watch the new Pokemon episodes - especially the ones where (well, I can't say it, spoilers. n___n)

    Apart from the animé, I do keep up with the rest of the main Pokemon aspects, namely the games and the manga. TCG is a no-no for me, I was never interested in it and the alternative Pokemon franchise is also a no-no because they get old. Fast.
     
    For me, it has to be games. I love all the games (except for R/B), and now I love doing competitive battling. I watch the Anime a little bit, I never was in the Manga and I played cards a long time ago.
     
    I read a lot of HoennShipping, and I look through fanart occasionally; Today I started watching the first season again, so heres hoping to actually finish it this time :3 But, all in all, the thing I do most of, in regards to Pokémon would have to be the games. I have three hundred hours in Emerald and like a hundred in Platinum. I find that leveling up before bed helps me sleep; Weird, I know. But the feeling of getting to level 100 is so... good. :D
     
    For me it's the games. And mostly the main games (from red and blue to HG/SS). The anime was originally what got me into pokemon, but now the show doesn't seem as original, and I've grown out of it. I haven't actually read the manga though...
    I was a huge figurine and plushie collector. I still have 11 specially selected figurines in my 'memory box', the ones I have the most memories with. And a pack of cards, not trading card game one, just cool cards of kanto pokemon.
     
    I mainly play the games and keep up to date with the anime although I recently started watching the anime from the beginning again.
     
    I try to have knowledge of all aspects of the Pokémon franchise, and at one point or other each aspect has been relatively active. My most active has go to be the video games because of the amount of time you have to put in to actually complete one of the games, and I have always enjoyed every video game that has been released in the series, including spin-offs (ranger is my favourite from the spin-off games).

    However occasionally I do watch the animé episodes, I used to really enjoy watching them but there was a point when they stopped airing new ones on english tv and that was when I sort of broke away from watching them. The trading card game used to be one of my favourite aspects as well, but as I got older I stopped collecting the cards and I still have books of trading cards now, as I never used to play the game, I just collected them. And I still love the manga now, however this is probably the section of the franchise that I have focussed on the least.
     
    For me, mainly the games and the manga.

    I watch the anime just incase there's a cool pokemon shown (i mean, come on, it's pokemon battles in motion!!), i.e. Dragonite, Infernape.
