    Default Who plays Pokemon!

    I know I do I love me some Pokemon. And I'm really excited for the upcoming sequels to Black and White.

    Who else here plays Pokemon? Do you play the DS games? (we can battle sometime, if you like :P)

    Let's talk about Pokemon here. What do you like about the series, what do you hate about it?
    I personally love the latest generation of games, since I love the designs of the Pokemon and how the creators really wanted to change things - the story here is very involving, surprisingly What I don't like is that we are still not getting our Pokemon MMO. I mean, the formula of the series would just lend itself so well to an MMO game. But alas...

    I fully completed my Pokedex in Black, with the help of Emerald, Fire Red, Pearl, Heart Gold, and NeoGAF. Took forever. Totally worth it. Definitely looking forward to Black 2 and White 2 in September.

    Apparently Pokemon Conquest is really good. I'll be picking that up soonish, too.

    I play, but more casually. I never go out of my way to get all the Pokemon, but I get a sizable amount. They are simple, but fun games that I enjoy playing from time to time.

    Found my black and silver yesterday morning underneath the dog bowl. Turns out my dog prevented whoever took the bag of ds games from getting my pokemon. She probably thought they were wafers.
    I am very casual on silver, on black however, I am the beast.

    I've had to give it up due to my crushing regret at losing my perfect team in Platinum and Soul Silver. Nothing will ever compare so what's the point in living anymore?

    Every once and a while I get a Pokemon itch and play the latest installment. It's pretty addictive, even if each series is just the same game over and over.

    I would like to see another version of Pokemon where the starters are different than the standard Fire/Grass/Water combo.

    I'm more of a casual player myself - as in no IV/EV training, I don't have patience for that stuff. I love to play with others, though, even though I suck at WiFi matches But I like to do my best to complete the Pokedex, so I guess that's hardcore?

    I didn't like how the B/W Pokemon looked, so I didn't pick it up. I loved playing all the other version though. xD

    You make Yamask cry

    And yeah, I also think Pokemon Conquest looks awesome. Don't know if it ever gets released in Europe, though...

    Apparently not, which is weird, because even Australia's getting it.

    I'm not as serious a player as I used to be back in the day. Nowadays I play the new installments for about 6 months and call it that.

    Pokemon is an addiction and once you're hooked, you will always be interested in the drug. That's how I am. I picked up Black on launch, played it nonstop, loved it, put it down and haven't played it since.

    I was not a fan of the creatures in that game though. Some were ok, but the majority were, to me, lame. I mean a garbage Pokemon? Geez.

    However, I have been itching to play Gold/Silver/Crystal lately. Those were the games that got be addicted back in 8th grade when they first came out. Good times.

    I guess, even though I'm not playing the series right now, I will definitely pick up B2 and W2. It's just a habit I can't break.

    If you haven't already picked up HeartGold/SoulSilver, do it do it do it.
