Enu_N, I am not trying to troll or be mean, but it seems like you're taking Pokemon too far. They don't have feelings, because they are just pictures printed on a card, a molded and painted chunk of plastic, or data allocations on a card/disk/cartridge, not an animal with feelings. Yes, the games are very fun (I still play Pokemon Colosseum), but it's just a game.Samebull, I agree with you,Quote from: samebull on July 02, 2011, 09:21:25 pmpokemon can't be your friends they're just chunks of data in a widely marketed childrens game.I can understand having fun but i don't think you should take it so seriouslyEnu_N, I think I can answer your question:Quote from: Enu_N on July 02, 2011, 08:12:26 pmbut what are they TO YOU? What do you treat them as?I treat them as nonexistent creatures in a video game.

oh man Pokemon Colosseum. I loved playing the third gen games, Colosseum, Emerald, FireRed, and . That was the last time I really had fun playing Pokemon. Now I've outgrown it and it's just eh, but damn those were fond memories.
If Pokemon are food, aet this one:Or the Insect-Pokemons.Or the slimy ones... Please make a video, if you try to eat them.I would have something to laugh, too...

However, I think the newer games have lost the original vision of Pokemon, and now there are way too many kinds of them. That, along with the TV shows and "junior novels" making it a "little kid" thing, and the fact that they have been licensed and are in things like happy meals is an insult to the original spirit of Pokemon. Pokemon used to be fun, and the older games still are, but I think this is a tired franchise now. I still go back and play the older games (hurrah for gbc4nspire and visual boy advance!), but apart from playing Pearl, or Platinum, (I don't remember which), for a little bit, and getting bored, I have never touched a game past the third generation. Red and Blue was an original idea that caught on, Gold, Silver, and Crystal improved on it, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald was a fresh new spin on it without the past baggage of previous regions, and Fire Red and Leaf Green paid respect to what started it all, but after that, it only goes downhill. That's because Pokemon's target audience is children, and you simply like the older games because of nostalgia. I feel the same way, but Pokemon will never be marketed to us again, ever.

Yeah, it's become too much of a little kid thing now.
