The Pokemon Series

[Dixie]

You know, Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald(only if you live in certain places), Pinball, Dash, and many more. What do you think of the Pokemon series?

[Zell's Fists of Fury]

I liked it back when it was cool to like it.

[Shoden]

Rubery and Sapphire were alot better than Fire Red and Leaf Green bah i prefer playing as new chars with new gyms in new worlds but if i want to get all pokemon somehow then i gotta do it

its brilliant

[Apollo]

I like it. :cool:

[Dixie]

I LOVE IT! I have been a Pokemon fan for years!:)

[Sepho]

I played Pokemon Red/Blue back in the day, and I had a ball with it (no pun intended), due in no small part to the MISSINGNO glitch and the resulting mass amounts of Rare Candy's and Master Balls. So yeah, I actually liked it a lot because of the fact that it was so easy to cheat.

Then Yellow rolled around, and the glitch was gone along with the fun. I haven't played any of the other Pokemon games besides those first couple. I did have Pokemon Snap for N64, though, and I thought that was kind of nifty.

[Sephex]

My vote goes to "I like it", but barley. It's a good series, but there is little variety between all the games in the big picture. I hope that "Emerald" turns things around.

[Dixie]

To Sepho: MissingNo. is in ALL of the Pokemon games. It just got harder and harder to find it.

To Sephex: Emerald is supposed to own all of the Pokemon games. Rumors are flying around. I heard that Munchlax(pre-evolution of Snorlax) is in Emerald.

[Sepho]

The glitch that duplicates your items? Are you sure?

[Dixie]

Yep. I've encountered it using my Action Replay. BUT!

Instead of one MissingNo. in R/S, there are 3! 2 kill your game completely an the other one is an ok MissingNo. It is just like a Pokemon, but it dissapears after a while.

[Sepho]

I suppose I'd need an Action Replay then, eh? If so, then no dice.

If not though, then I may eventually try out some of the new games.

[Xander]

Pokemon is awesome. Cute creatures, that you can collect, that evolve, and that you can level up and battle in an RPG game. It's addictive and fun. I'm playing Pokemon Leaf Green, but I agree that you wouldn't really wanna play all the games in the series, there would be little point.

[Destai]

Five years ago I was the first person on the scene with it in my school :D. I cost everyone so much money...
I havent played or watched it in ages although I was totally obsessed way beck when. I might pick up fire red sometime if Im in the mood for nostalgia.

[Flamethrower]

I stopped liking it after Yellow.

[Palindrome]

Yello killed it for me and the show just made it gay.

[Destai]

The show made it in the first place.

[ShunNakamura]

The series is fun.. and can have some interesting combos... but meh... I have played better.

Main reason I play it is to raise my pokemon. As a raising game it leaves a tad to be desired.. Princess Maker surpases it in that area so I play it instead much of the time. Pokemon still is alright though.. and since so many(if not all) are portable, you can play it on the run. Doesn't effect me any though... I take my laptop with me wherever I go... even on school trips so I would have PM anyways :P

[Ryth]

I like them but FireRed and LeafGreen say to me they're running out of ideas even though basically its the same idea and all done with better graphics and more poke'mon. Yet I still like them they're extremely addictive and the spin-offs are horrid, Dash. Stadium, Coliseum aren't fun, at all. I just liked them but I'm losing faith and interest in the series.

[Dixie]

I never liked Yellow...:(

PS I wonder who voted "I want to bite Pikachu's head off."

[Swordicanus]

I loved pokemon when I was younger it was very addictive I used to always look at the show too and collect the stickers....memories :)

[Dixie]

Memories...:)

[Rase]

I used to like it, but either my taste matured or it just lost it's appeal. Either way, I don't find it was fun anymore.

[Lionx]

I liked it when i played Red/Blue and my japanese Red/Green/Blue/Yellow :x yea i liked it alot then...as well as the original manga...but the show and the stuff they do to milk it...just made me go bleh. It was good when it came out but now its not as good as it used to be and should. Gotta know when the cow is out of milk and then make the next cow better.

Nice way of explaining it.:)

[Shoden]

actually in Japan the games came out first after the Manga success

the best games of the series were G/S and R/S

Fr/LG were alright but i got bored of using old pokémon but the sevii islands and the few johto pokemon even the new moves were very good

[Cz]

I haven't bought any since Gold, but they were excellent games. The idea was simple, but fiendishly addictive. Catching all 150 took absolutely ages, which gave the game a decent lifespan as well.

[Zante]

I liked it, the games were fine, especialy for GB games, although the newe r ones are getting too repetive, and some of the new monsters look like the designers are getting out of new ideas.

[Shoden]

nah

doubt that

the best thing is that all the cool Pokémon don't get embarressed by the show excluding the birds Lugia and Suicune

the show is a mass flop an embarressment to the name i liked it about 7 years ago but now nooooooo not the show

[Dreddz]

Liked Pokemon Red and Blue but lost intrest after

[Chzn8r]

Pokemon games I have liked: Red, Blue, Pinball, TCG, and Snap.

[Dixie]

Pokemon games I have liked: Red, Blue, Pinball, TCG, and Snap.Those are good games.:)

[TasteyPies]

I liked it back when it was cool to like it.

[XxSephirothxX]

HAET.

[Dixie]

:(

I'm playing Pokemon Sapphire version right now.:)

[Spammerman]

pokemon are cool.I like the whole char-evolution line.I can even do the voices of charmeleon or hitmontop

[BatChao]

The core RPG line was awesome when it first came out... but they really haven't done much to evlove it... the only major differences between Red/Blue/Yellow/Green/Whatever and Ruby/Emerald are just graphics and more Pokemon. They REALLY need to change the battle system... I'd love for the new Cube Pokemon game to have a revamped battle engine that really captures the excitement on a Pokemon battle.

As for spinoff games, the only one I really like it TCG. Pinball was okay too, though.

[Dixie]

I think when Pearl and Diamond come out on the DS, The battle style will be changed dramaticly.

EDIT: (3 for "I want to bite Pikachu's head off." I wonder who they are...)

[Spammerman]

i wish they made a game wher u can jump,fight ,evolve,and train as the pokemon.It would be so cool to be able to control a charmeleon

[Dixie]

Yeah....that would be fun...

[Heath]

I've played and completed:

Red, Yellow (well, it was a friends copy), Silver, Crystal (on ROM, I was bored one weekend) and Sapphire.

I did have a play of Fire Red, had a nice squad of level 12 monsters before Brock, but my save magically disappeared thanks to this computer, and I never had the motivation to restart.

The games are fun, especially if you can battle against your friends, but all the other stuff (the countless pieces of merchandise, cartoon, etc) never really appealed to me.

[Dixie]

Aren't ROMs illegal?

[Heath]

As far as I'm aware, you're allowed them for 24 hours and then they must be deleted, unless you own the actual cartridge. As was the case with Fire Red xP

I prefered playing Silver on the PC instead of the game boy, myself, as it's more comfortable for me to play using a keyboard and monitor instead of the GBA.

I've not played any of the console Pokemon games other than Pokemon Stadium, which was quite fun with friends, and of course with them, it wouldn't be a problem like with the GB games.

[Meat Puppet]

I used to be hardcore xxx pokemon when it first hit my shores. I think I quit at gold, though. I remember I would beat up my friends and make them give me their good pokemons. Pokemon got banned from my primary school. :(

[Shoden]

how about an ATB gauge for pokemon and get rid of the 4 moves only thing

[Heath]

Whilst the 4 move only thing is annoying, I suppose it adds to the strategy of the game, by only letting you have a certain number of moves. Some Pokemon could have about 30 moves through TMs and HMs though if there was no limit o.o

[Dixie]

I don't like the four move thing, either. I prefer at least 10 moves to choose from.

[YukiKiro]

i'd bite that pikachu bugger's head off then turn him on a spit. then i'd eat him while i had tin foil in my mouth; just to add a new definition sto shockingly horrid (or replace horrid with your desired word).

[Perducci]

I love pokemon! ^^

There are a few exeptions though...

[Swordicanus]

my favourite character used to be Brock he was cool

[MoonZapdos]

I'not exactly a PokéMon lover... (don't look at my nickname) but I like them.

actually how it should probably be done is, the number of learnable moves depends on the pokemon.. some pokemon woudl have better "memory" then others...

or it could be that each pokemon could have so many AP's(ability points) and each move has a certian amount of AP it uses, thus, you could have many many weak moves... or 1 or 2 mega crushing moves.. or some such... still I think the pokemon type should make a difference in memory.

[Shoden]

Brock was a dick he couldnt stop glirting even if the girl was ugly or to old nor married

[Swordicanus]

Brock was a dick he couldnt stop glirting even if the girl was ugly or to old nor married

that's why I liked him he was funny at least he was'nt a little queer like Ash

[Dr.K]

I liked the Pokemon the most when it first came out with Red & Blue. Addictive, simple, great fun with a wide range of creatures on offer. It was really cool how the Pokemon in someone's possession sometimes matched their personality in some way.

[MoonZapdos]

I still like Pokémon. Actually I was owner of a Pokémon site. Unfortunatelly, it was hacked and I had to close it before anyone's mail could be hacked too. I make a lot of Pokémon sprite edits these days and looks like I'm the only one here who likes Yellow more than other versions... :rolleyes2

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I enjoyed it as an RPG for awhile. I think Gold and Silver were the best ones thus far. I've not yet played Fire Red and Leaf Green, nor do I intend to. If they want to keep my attention, this is what they should do:

Upgrade to Game Cube or Nintendo's next gen system (you'll see why in a minute).

Battles in real time

More attacks that may be learned and remembered (I like the AP idea, as they progress in level they can learn more and certain pokemon naturally have higher AP than others)

I know Nintendo's really been stupid about this, but support online play. (Actually, I think it'd make a pretty kickass MMORPG if it were done correctly)

Randomly generated trainers so there are an infinite number of trainers you can face, some of which are stronger than you and some of which are weaker, etc. etc.

More TMs and HMs with the ability to buy most of them, especially the good ones.

If you MUST make them prizes at the casino, the ability to buy a lot of coins at once so you don't have to spend hours upon futile hours trying to buy it.

Ability to catch every pokemon in the game, or at very least its unevolved form (encountering a wild Bulbasaur, for example).

Different paths available, such as breeder, trainer, gym leader, etc..

All the worlds can be visited.

[Shoden]

my fav chars were Misty, May and Tracy

Brock was good for random humour

Tracy he was an interesting character just a crap name

[Chris]

I liked it back when it was cool to like it.

That's such... a post modern thing to say.
I agree though.

[Shoden]

they should remake gold and silver and theyd have good games i loved G/S and R/S but Fr and Lg werent much of a big thing

[Vaprice]

Okay the game were good when we were little and so was the TV show, but then it became annoying..but when I voted I LOVE IT

because maybe no one voted for it...but seeing as someone did...I am no longer a loner xD

AND IM ASIAN!!!! AZN PRIDE BABY!!!

[Lionx]

I am just surprised theres only one I HATE IT vote Oo

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

AND IM ASIAN!!!! AZN PRIDE BABY!!!

The hell does that have to do with anything? Because it was made in Japan? It's not like that actually MEANS anything to everyone else, Asian or not.

[YukiKiro]

I am just surprised theres only one I HATE IT vote Oo
that was me.

[Lionx]

Its just Vap ;) Dont take it anything serious, he is just like that, especially on FFXI XD

Hunny bunny does like funnies on the LS @_@


that was me.

Somehow i am not surprised :p

[crashNUMBERS]

I hate it... Seriously..

[Dixie]

You make Game Freak cry.:cry:

Pokemon is an awesome game! How could anyone NOT like it?

[crashNUMBERS]

...I just don't??

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

It's been beaten to death and has become overly cliched?

[crashNUMBERS]

I don't get it. You hate it or love it??

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I stated what would make it good. For the time being, I'm not overly fond of it, it's been done to death.

[crashNUMBERS]

Oh, Sorry for my stupid question... ^^;;

[Dixie]

it's been done to death.No it hasn't. I guess no one understands Pokemon freaks like me. It will keep going, as long as it still has (a) buyer(s). I really don't care about what other people say about Pokemon. Pokemon WILL live on. The Pokemon games are the best and I don't care if the next game is a repeat of the last one.

[Lionx]

And thats why it wont die, its like a card game ^^ cant be dead so fast...sorta like Magic but unlike Magic its aimed at younger audiences and japanese ones.

[crashNUMBERS]

I SO love it when something makes fun of pokemon. Like south park for example...

[Spammerman]

it messed up when ppl make fun of somethin, after all, ppl did put hard work in it.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

sorta like Magic but unlike Magic its aimed at younger audiences and japanese ones.

I assure you Magic is far from dead.

Pokemon WILL live on. The Pokemon games are the best and I don't care if the next game is a repeat of the last one.

I imagine it will live on, but you will also have to get used to the fact that most people will become either averse to or apathetic to Pokemon, assuming they haven't already become so.

[Dixie]

it messed up when ppl make fun of somethin, after all, ppl did put hard work in it.It's the truth.:)

Pokemon is one of the gretest things ever.
