    Default Pokemon

    Me and some friends are rebuying the games, because they were awesome/addicting. Anyone still play this loveable game anymore?

    I've been meaning to pick up some recent GBA versions. (Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire)

    I had a blast playing Gold and Red when I was in 1st and 2nd grade. Me and my friend would always talk about it on the bus, and always get every Pokemon possible in the game, and then have fun with the mystery gift and such. Ah, the memories.

    In my opinion the series really droped after Gold and Silver. I got Sapphire and it was dissappointing for me. Especially most of the new monsters just...don't look good. :/ A few are cool, I like how you can get a dark one in the starting area. But most of them are just remade versions of past ones, made to look kiddy and stupid. Even the legendrary ones look like something a little kid drew with crayons.

    Personally I say the last good Pokemon was Gold/Silver. Well as good as a kids game can be. >.>

    Red and blue were god games, along with yellow(but a bit less)

    Gold and silver relit that inner spark of R&B, and fanned it into a flame, so those are the only really good ones.

    Sapphire and ruby werent as good as the originals, and thats a shame

    but blue and red will forever live in my hearts as the god games of my early childhood, (and too bad i sold them, such is corporate america demanding your monies!)

    I still play them. I've heard that Emerald is probably the most challenging game to date, because the Battle Frontier apparently makes the Elite Four seem like wusses.

    Gold and Silver were the best in the series.

    It reached it's peak at Gold/Silver/Crystal, they were my favourites, and Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald were majorly disappointing. I don't play them anymore, every once in a blue moon I'll pick up my Gold version and play, but overall I don't play regularly.

    I stopped after Crystal, and sold them all after I transferred my files/Pokemon onto Coliseum, which I then sold (after throughly beating the game). Now they are all conveniently stuck on my memory card.

    Pokemon, however, is one of the main reasons I played Final Fantasy in the first place.

    I got addicted to LeafGreen not too long ago. I got teased a bit because apparently adults don't play Pokemon games, but that only made me play it around other people as much as I could.

    I used to be obsessed with pokemon when I was younger. I seldom pick up the games and play them. I've got yellow, gold, and silver. Gold was always my favorite and I've got like 80 hrs. on it. I will never delete the file.

    Diamond and Pearl. If this doesn't revive the Pokemon series, nothing will. Not anytime soon, at least.

    The real draw for me is the online play. Pokemon, like many other games (PSO/U, Smash Bros, Battlefield...), thrives on the multiplayer. Having Pokemon go online will extend its lifetime exponentially. I can deal with the same ol' same ol' (though I know there are several enhancements and additions to the game system), just make it fun to play again. This game comes out just before I leave Japan, I might just pick one up...if I can find it.

    I love Pokemon, even though there is this stigma for one who isn't less than 12 years old when you play them...

    I still play them, though I can't find Blue, which holds a sweet nostalgia to me. I've played Emerald, Saphire, Ruby, Yellow, Blue, Silver, Gold, and Fire Red.

    The sad thing is, I've lost or sold Blue, Silver, Gold, Saphire, and Yellow...

    Probably because it was cool to hate Pokemon at that point in my life...

    Damned conformity!

    my faveorite to date are Pokemon Gold and Fire Red.
