pokemon diamond and pearl

[Markus. D]

I'm 18 years old, i should not be excited about this game but i am

I'm seventeen but i'm pretty excited. Its a good game. Just because its a cartoon, doesn't mean its for kids.

xD to true.

did you know the most graphically violent thing on TV was an anime.

The anime has given pokemon a young audience... And that pisses me off *slaps ash, and Pikachu, but I have spikes on my hand when I slap pikachu*...

But I gave up on the whole age expectation thing loooong ago, it's just a game, when it comes down to it.

Pokemon ranger looks so fun XD I hope it lives up to that. Circling pokemon with the stylus! And I hope that release date doesn't fall back either, which it probably will.. ;__; I miss pokemon lately, someone has my leaf green....

This thing looks like a badass.

POKEMON:

the TV show = babyish
the Games = good

I wouldn't say babyish, just really, really, shyte.

Has anyone read the manga? Now THAT'S good.

The show is made for the "Shonen", or young boys. There are several other "Shonen" shows and they have similar themes of a young boy using his friendship and effort to overcome obstacles. It's juvenile to us, but it's not exactly made for us.
For what it's made for, it's a good entertaining show. It's well animated, the plot is coherent and doesn't require much deep thought, and it's generally friendly--all the makings of a show for younger audiences. If you expect to find some intellectual, emotional or even comedic fulfillment at the age of 14+, you're looking at the wrong show. Get over it.

Really? I just thought it was 4kids entertainment trying to kill another good thing.

Good post. And I like the show anyway - well the original one - and I'm not a 14 year old boy. So other people can even enjoy it too sometimes!

4Kids no longer does the dubbing for the anime. PUSA does instead.
